== '''The Fort Garry Horse (Canadian Army Regular)''' ==
The Fort Garry Horse (Canadian Army Regular) are on the Supplementary Order of Battle.

In 1964, the Honourable Paul Hellyer, Minister of National Defence, announced sweeping changed to be carried out in the organization and establishments of the Canadian Army. The Army itself would be integrated into a new entity called the Canadian Forces (CF). Overall the manpower would be reduced both because of the greater efficiency of the CF organization and in order to free up money needed for new capital projects. The Militia, likewise was to be reorganized and revitalized. As a first step, several regiments of the RCAC were converted to non-armoured roles and several more were '''reduced to nil establishment''' and placed on the '''Supplementary Order of Battle'''.

The revitalization of the Militia was not achieved and the Corps was left the poorer by the loss of these historic regiments.

In the late 1960's, the Regular component of the Corps was subject to a traumatic restructure and the end result was the loss to the Regular Force of The Fort Garry Horse. In the 1990's, a similar traumatic restructure, again saw the loss of a Regular Force Armour unit, The 8th Canadian Hussars (PL). Both of these units still live on in their Reserve Force units.
