Information

The First cavalry Division Association invites you to join the rest of the First Team Family in Reno, Nevada for the 77th Annual Reunion of the 1st Cavalry Division Association from 11-15 June 2025. All Life and Associate Members are welcome to attend this special event. Gold Star Families and Widows of our members are always welcome to attend.
Please register early to assist us in coordinating the best reunion possible. Some events have limited seating available due to the size of available rooms. All members of the Association must register and pay the $40 Registration Fee except for our Active-Duty Troopers who pay $20 to register. Family members attending with an Association member, Widows of 1st Cavalry Division Troopers, and Gold Star Family members that attend do not have to pay a registration fee. The registration fee will no longer be refundable regardless of when a member cancels.
Online registration opens 1 October 2024; the Reunion registration form will be included in the Saber from November ‘24 through April ‘25. Those sending in registrations post-marked after 1 May 2025 must pay a late registration fee of $50.
The Association will be providing our guests with transportation to the Truckee River Walk on Thursday 12 June 2025 (0900-1800) at a cost of $10 per person.  Bus tickets can be purchased when you initially register, either by mail-in or on-line, or at the Walk-in Registration area.
NOTE: Cancellations are non-refundable after the 1 May 2025 deadline.

LODGING

We will be utilizing the Grand Sierra Resort (GSR) and Casino for all our events. The GSR room fees will vary because this is a resort. Reservations made Sunday-Thursday are $79 and Friday-Saturday are $189. Resort fees and guestroom taxes will apply. Make sure that you identify yourself as attending the 1st Cavalry Division Association Reunion. The hotel does provide a free shuttle service from the Reno-Tahoe International Airport and rental cars are available at the airport.

REUNION EVENT OVERVIEW

You will notice several changes on the reunion schedule. The Veterans Briefing has been moved to Thursday afternoon. The Memorial (Long Roll Muster) will be held in conjunction with the Legacy Breakfast. Our Trustee and Board meetings will be held in the evening accommodating those members who are unable to attend the reunion.
This year, members will have an opportunity to visit the Truckee River Trail and Riverwalk District. The Riverwalk District has shopping, restaurants, bars and taverns, entertainment, lodging, even a whitewater park – all in a safe, fun, friendly area that celebrates Reno’s arts, culture, and history 365 days a year.
The Ladies’ Luncheon will be held on-site at the hotel. Studio 775 Reno will bring the party to us along with all the supplies needed to create your very own masterpiece.
The Grand Sierra Resort is chocked full of things to do for adults and kids alike…or both. The Resort has a bowling center, there is a driving range, axe throwing (at targets not each other), team building in the escape room, the pool area (open year-round), and spa. For the child in all of us there is an arcade, laser tag, bumper cars, and a carnival midway. There are also concerts, comedy shows, and other events. For your dining pleasure, the resort offers eight restaurants, food trucks, and several grab and go spots.
As usual, we will have all other planned events at the resort: Legacy Breakfast (Long Roll Muster), Unit Lunches, Purple Heart Breakfast, Association Banquet, Group Breakfasts. We will have meetings of the Chapter Presidents, Foundation Trustees, the Board of Governors, and our General Membership meeting. During our General Membership meeting on Saturday morning, we will hold elections for the Association and Foundation.
Seating for all events is open except for Reunion Banquet on Saturday night. If you are attending the banquet, you must get your tickets marked with a table number at the Banquet Seating table when picking up your registration packet. If you want to sit with specific people, we recommend that you all go to the Banquet Seating table together with your tickets available. Don’t wait until the last minute or we may not be able to accommodate your needs.
Cavalry casual attire is appropriate for all reunion events. Wear what you feel comfortable wearing; a coat and tie, your uniform (if it still fits), casual clothing with open collar, jeans, or shorts. We want you to attend and aren’t overly concerned with what you wear, so long as it isn’t indecent!
The Association will provide a Reunion Room in the resort for you to gather and enjoy yourself. Drinks (beer and wine) in the Reunion Room are free but we ask that you generously donate to help us pay for this room. The Reunion Room will open daily at 0900 with the bar opening at 1200 hours.
The Crossed Sabers Chapter Gift Shop will set up a store in the hotel to sell all kinds of Cav-tastic First Team merchandise including shirts, hats, Stetsons, pins, decals, and other items too numerous to mention.

The Best Part of the Reunion

The best part of any reunion is the people that attend. The 1st Cavalry Division Association Reunion brings in Troopers from almost every era of the First Team’s history. Troopers that rode horses, fought in the Pacific with MacArthur, occupied Japan, fought in Korea, or stood watch on the DMZ will spend time with the Sky Troopers of Vietnam and the Troopers from Operation Desert Storm, Fort Hood, Bosnia, and the latest combat Veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan. The equipment and terrain might be different, but the common bond of serving with America’s First Team binds us together. Saddle up and ride into Reno in 2025!
