2nd Cavalry Regiment (Greece)

The 2nd Cavalry Regiment was established in 1885, when the extant three hipparchies were reorganized and renamed into regiments of four cavalry companies each.^[1] It participated in the Greco-Turkish War of 1897 in Thessaly, as well as in the Asia Minor Campaign, where it distinguished itself in the capture of the Nea Ephesos (Kuşadası) – Sokia (Söke) area in April 1922.^[1] After the war, it remained active, garrisoned in various areas of Thessaly and Macedonia, until its disbandment in 1937.^[1]

In January 2001, the honorific title "2nd Cavalry Regiment - Ephesos" was awarded to the 25th Armoured Brigade.^[1]
