It was organized on 1 April 1959, consisting of the 1st Reconnaissance Squadron at Silverton, part of the 41st Infantry Division. The squadron became the 1st Squadron, 82nd Cavalry, on 1 March 1963. It was redesignated to consist of the 1st Squadron in the 41st Division and Troop E in the 41st Infantry Brigade on 15 November 1965.

The regiment was withdrawn from CARS on 1 September 1989 and reorganized under United States Army Regimental System in the Nevada Army National Guard and Oregon Army National Guard to consist of the 1st Battalion, part of the 116th Cavalry Brigade. On 1 September 1992 the 1st Battalion in the Oregon Army National Guard was redesignated the 1st Squadron, also losing its Nevada elements. It was again reorganized on 1 October 1995 to include Troop E, part of the 41st Infantry Brigade, Troop F, part of the 29th Infantry Brigade, and Troop G, part of the 116th Cavalry Brigade.

Originally 1-82 Cavalry was a TDA squadron headquarters of 15 personnel with ADCON (administrative control) responsibilities over three independent Brigade Reconnaissance Troops (BRTs) - E, F, and G, respectively. Each troop was aligned with separate brigades. E Troop with the 41st IBCT (Oregon ARNG), F Troop with the 29th IBCT (Hawaii ARNG), and G Troop with 116th ACR (Idaho ARNG).

G Troop deployed to Iraq in 2004 and was reassigned to the Montana Army National Guard's 1st Battalion, 163rd Infantry in October. While serving in Iraq, the troop was awarded the Valorous Unit Award by Permanent Orders 144-10 on 22 May 2008 for the period between 15 February and 1 November 2005.

Troop F was ordered into active Federal service on 16 August 2004 at Lebanon, and deployed as a Brigade Reconnaissance Troop of the 29th Brigade Combat Team during Operation Iraqi Freedom III in 2005 and 2006. The troop conducted operations in the vicinity of Balad throughout this period. It returned to the states and was released from active Federal service, reverting to state control on 15 March 2006.

On 1 October 2005 the 82nd Cavalry was officially redesignated as the 82nd Cavalry Regiment when the United States Army reintroduced the regiment designation. On 1 September 2006, the regiment was reorganized to consist of the 1st Squadron with headquarters at Bend.

In 2007, the 41st IBCT underwent a transformation, which involved the inactivation of the 1st Battalion, 162nd Infantry and the standing up of the 1st Squadron, 82nd Cavalry as a full RSTA squadron using elements from the TDA headquarters, three brigade reconnaissance troops, and the 1st Battalion, 162nd Infantry.

On 2 May 2009, the 1st Squadron was ordered into active Federal service. The squadron deployed to Iraq from 2009 and 2010 as a full reconnaissance squadron, responsible for overseeing security for the Joint Visitors Bureau and the Camp Victory Base Complex, as well as for the supply convoys supporting the Forward operating bases in the Baghdad metropolitan area. On 5 June 2010 it was released from active Federal service and reverted to state control. For service in Iraq, the squadron was awarded the Meritorious Unit Commendation by Permanent Orders 211-01 on 30 July 2010.

Between 2013 and 2014, it deployed to Afghanistan.

In 2015, 1-82 Cavalry was selected as the Oregon unit to participate in the West Coast Stryker Brigade transformation of the 81st ABCT (Washington ARNG). In 2017, they remained located in Oregon but again aligned out of the state as the Stryker RSTA squadron for the new 81st Stryker Brigade Combat Team.

The 1st Squadron, 82nd Cavalry Regiment, currently serves with the 81st Stryker Brigade Combat Team (United States) of the Washington Army National Guard. It is headquartered in Bend, Oregon. The unit consists of the HHT (Bend, Oregon), Alpha Troop (of Albany, Oregon), Bravo Troop (of Redmond, Oregon), Charlie Troop (of Portland, Oregon), Delta Troop (of The Dalles, Oregon), and Delta Company (FSC) (of Prineville, Oregon).

As a cavalry unit, Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie Troops are equipped with Reconnaissance Variant Strykers while Delta Troop (Heavy Weapons Troop) is equipped with three platoons of ATGM Strykers and three platoons of MGS Strykers. When the squadron was redesignated, it was changed to a RSTA unit (Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and Target Acquisition).
