Both current and past serving members of the Regiment are invited to join the Association. Various Classes of Membership are available, please refer to our Membership Application Form for more information. The Regiment. The 2/14 Light Horse Regiment (Queensland Mounted Infantry) was formed in 1952, though it sentimentally traces its lineage back to 2nd Moreton Light Horse (QMI) and the 14th West Moreton Light Horse (QMI) and arguably has the oldest lineage of any Australian Regular Army Unit,. In 2005, the Regiment celebrated its 150th anniversary. Over the years there have been many organisational changes based on both Regular and/or Reserve elements. In March 2005, the Regiment became a completely Regular unit to meet the Army’s increased operational tempo. Since that date, elements of the Regiment have seen many operational deployments, including a number of Security Detachment (SECDET) rotations in Iraq and as part of the Al Muthanna Task Group which became the first rotation of the Overwatch Battle Group (West). More recently, the Regiment has contributed forces to the Australian Task Force in Afghanistan as part of Operation SLIPPER and individuals have supplemented other unit deployments. The motto of 2nd/14th Light Horse Regiment (Queensland Mounted Infantry) is: ‘Forward’.
