B TROOP 1-113th CAV

12/26/2025

We have intentionally stayed quiet on social media out of respect for our fallen and injured Troopers and their families. With Staff Sergeants Howard and Torres-Tovar arriving home in Iowa on Wednesday and are now with their families. With final preparations being made public, please see the following post regarding their funeral arrangements.

Staff Sergeant Howard and Staff Sergeant Torres were the kind of soldiers everyone hoped to serve beside. They were professionals who took care of their Troopers first, leaders who never asked more of others than they were willing to give themselves, and teammates who showed up every day with humility and quiet resolve to complete the mission. They were sons, brothers, friends, and mentors whose presence made our unit stronger and their Troopers feel protected and valued. Known for their work ethic, knowledge, skills, loyalty, and their ability to bring calm and quick witted humor into hard moments, they embodied what it meant to wear the uniform with honor. Their legacy is not defined by how they died, but by how they lived and the lives they impacted along the way.

Til we all meet again Brothers

Huge shoutout for one of Bushmaster Troop’s very own! We are proud of SGT McGlaughlin and the value he brings to our organization 🫡🇺🇸

Soldier Spotlight

We would like to introduce Sgt. Chase McGlaughlin from Bravo Troop, 1st Squadron, 113th Cavalry Regiment. McGlaughlin serves as cavalry scout. He says his favorite part of deployment thus far is, “making memories and going through experiences and challenges with those in his platoon.” While being in the Middle East, one goal he has is being able to contribute to the unit’s mission in any way possible. Whether it is with ranges, patrols, or physical training, he wants to be a crucial part in Bravo Troop’s mission. When not drilling or doing military obligations, McGaughlin works as a correctional officer in Iowa City, Iowa. Thank you for all your hard work and contributions to the CAV thus far!
