I don’t want the point of the article to get lost. They need volunteer troopers. BAD.
Anyone who lives in the area, is over 18, and is interested, PLEASE get over there!
There is now a goodly amount of such activities in Arizona.
For years, there has been a reenactment of the Civil War Battle of Picacho Pass. Members of the Arizona Civil War Council participate as both Union and Confederate solders. The three units include: Company D, 1st U.S. Infantry Regiment, 6th Texas Infantry (Confederate), Civilians Auxiliary Guild.

Then there is the Hashknife Pony Express reenactment, which actually carries US mail, with a special cancellation mark, on its route of some 200 miles. (Note the banner they are carrying for the Sheriff’s Posse.)

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
My Dad was a member of the B troop around 1986 or so when he was stationed at Fort Huachuca. My family would go to the parades just to watch my dad ride by. It was a enjoyable experience.
Buffalo Corral probably hadn’t changed much since I was there as a kid.
I love Sierra Vista and the people who live in Southern AZ.
Went there every other week for years on business.
Thanks for the post.
