The 26th Cavalry Regiment was created on October 1, 1922 in the Philippine Department. It functioned independently of any cavalry brigade or division. The 26th Cavalry Regiment, consisting mostly of Philippine Scouts, was the last U.S. Cavalry Regiment to engage in horse-mounted warfare. Their last mounted charge occurred at the town of Morong on January, 16 1942. The unit fought desperate rearguard actions both mounted and dismounted against the Japanese army throughout the American withdraw in the Philippines. Elements were enveloped by Japanese forces on Bataan and forced to surrender on April 9, 1942. Certain other elements of the regiment avoided the surrender at Corregidor and persisted in guerrilla warfare after the May 6, 1942
