Tn«r« Is certain Independant evidence trm a
variety of sonrceo tfcat units of the 9 th Mountain
cavalry Division were tra aforred to -^Ktsenistan at
the same tine as the 2nd infantry Division. Decent
information seetss to show that some of them are
still there and have not followed the 2nd Division
baofc to the Ferghana area.
*resn identifications received of hitherto
unknown ravalry units in tferghana, if correct, seen
to Indicate the formation of another navalry Division
in this area, mould this he the case, it aeeras
possiole that the transfer of the ath Mountain
Cavalry division to Turkmenistan nay he a peraanency
its place Doing taken hy a new Division.
in view of the fact that mrknenistan has been
the most seriously disturbed area in central Asia
since 1930, it seews reasonable to suppose that the
cavalry garrison wight be increased following the
recent operations.
Tnere is at present only one regular cavalry
Heglraent (93rd) permanently stationed in Turkraenist&n,
the other Turkoman national mits being of doubtful
reliability. Both the 92nd and the 94th tegular
cavalry regiments have served previously in Turkmenistan
and way be considered to possess local knowledge.
The 9th Mechanised oroup has also been located
at Kisil Arvat, and it seems that of the 8th
Mountain cavalry Division only the recently formed
11th cavalry Beglisent(c tatad to be largely ^zbeg in
composition) has been left WJt of the Amu Darya.
