The US 65th Cavalry Division, part of the United States Army, was an active cavalry division during World War II. Established on August 17, 1943, and disbanded in February 1944, it operated primarily as a training unit, preparing replacement personnel for combat units in the European Theater. The division was not deployed overseas during active combat due to its short lifespan. The US 65th Cavalry Division is significant as a training ground for numerous troops who later saw action in World War II.
