The 3rd/4th Cavalry Regiment's colour patch

The 3rd/4th Cavalry Regiment is an armoured regiment of the Australian Army, and is third in seniority in the Royal Australian Armoured Corps. The regiment was formed in 1981 through the amalgamation of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment and the 4th Cavalry Regiment. The 3rd/4th Cavalry Regiment currently consists of a single squadron, B Squadron. This squadron was based in Townsville and provided armoured transport to the Australian 3rd Brigade until 2017 when it was replaced in this role by the 2nd Cavalry Regiment. The squadron was subsequently re-raised at the School of Armour at Puckapunyal in Victoria, in the training and logistics support role and is equipped with Bushmaster infantry mobility vehicles.
