United States Volunteers – America claims its heritage from Teddy Roosevelt’s Rough Riders; the last volunteer cavalry unit to serve. The Rough Riders were officially called the “United States Volunteers” and wore USV as their collar insignia.
Today, USV-A troopers wear a modified US Army uniform with unique insignia, rank and buttons without the Great Seal of the Nation. We are in compliance with AR670-1 Chapter 30 regulations, in accordance with rules as a military association.
