History: The Saskatchewan Dragoons originated in Regina, Saskatchewan on 3 July 1905, when a regiment of infantry was authorized to be formed in the districts of Assiniboia and Saskatchewan. It was
designated the 95th Regiment on 2 April 1907 and the 95th Saskatchewan Rifles on 1 June 1909. On 1 April 1912 the regiment was reorganized as two separate regiments,
the 105th Regiment (now The North
Saskatchewan Regiment) and the 95th Saskatchewan Rifles. On 15 March 1920, it was amalgamated with the 60th Rifles of Canada and re-designated The South Saskatchewan Regiment. On 15 May
1924, The South Saskatchewan Regiment was reorganized into five separate
regiments, The Assiniboia Regiment (now the 10th Field Artillery Regiment, RCA), The Regina Rifle
Regiment (now The Royal Regina Rifles), The Weyburn Regiment (now The South Saskatchewan Regiment), The Saskatchewan Border
Regiment (now The South Saskatchewan Regiment). It was re-designated The King's Own Rifles of
Canada on 15 September 1924. On 15 December 1936, it was amalgamated with B Company of the 12th Machine Gun Battalion, CMGC (now The Royal Regina
Rifles) and re-designated The King's Own Rifles of Canada (MG). It was re-designated the 2nd Battalion, King's Own Rifles of Canada on 29
January 1942 and, upon conversion to armor, the 20th (Saskatchewan) Armoured Regiment, RCAC, on 1 April 1946, the 20th Saskatchewan Armoured Regiment on 4
February 1949, The Saskatchewan Dragoons (20th Armoured Regiment) on 31 July 1954
and The Saskatchewan Dragoons on 19 May 1958.
Today it is
a Primary Reserve armoured regiment of the Canadian Army. The unit is based in Moose Jaw. Their primary job is to assist the Regular Force in
meeting Canada's military commitments.
