AlthougharguablywiththeoldestlineageofanyAustralian Regular Army Unit, the 2nd/14th Light Horse Regiment (Queensland Mounted Infantry) Association [2/14 LHR (QMI) Assn Inc.] is a new Association of members, former members and friends of our Regiment, which is now based at Enoggera Barracks. The Association was formally incorporated on 6th May 2013 under the Queensland Associations Incorporation Act 1981.The 2/14 LHR (QMI) 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). 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.Although a young organisation, the Association is a keen and active supporter of the Regiment and supports the Commanding Officer and its members in any way it can.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 Formfor more information.The motto of 2nd/14th Light Horse Regiment (Queensland Mounted Infantry) is: ‘Forward’.
