Posted by Talisman Comanche was truly a calvary horse as she participated in many parades on Fort Ord as well as throughout the state of California, Arizona and Oregon. She started in the late 1960s for the last graduating class of basic trainees then in 1970 on the Main Parade Field, Drill Sargent Field, and Fritsche Airfield for every commanding general incoming and outgoing - the 9th calvary, the 10th calvary, Basic Combat Support Brigade, Cook and Bakers School, and Air Brigade. She paraded in the city of Marina, Seaside, Pacific Grove, Salinas, Santa Cruz, Watsonville, Castroville, San Jose, King City, Paso Robles, Redding, Palm Springs, Reno, Redwood City, San Juan Bautista, Soledad, Gilroy, Morgan Hill, Walnut Creek, Ashland and Medford Oregon, and Yuma Arizona. She won 1st place in most all off-post parades, and paraded in the Army Birthday Parade in 1976 on the Main Parade Field. (Waymarking.com) The last ceremonial horse to serve on the fort was buried with full military honors. |

Posted by FastEddy Careful of the punji sticks. After you posted this yesterday I took a google tour around. I haven't seen any pictures of the tanks (or tank parts) that are out in the middle of the base. |
