We (1st Cav) worked with them some in Cambodia.

it looks like it was the 8th ACR... (edit: in case of searches leading here, read plato's post two below for more information)
From the citation:
...
the troop volunteered to rescue Company C, 2d Battalion, 8th Cavalry, a 1st Cavalry Division unit surrounded by an overwhelming enemy force near the Cambodian border, in The Dog's Face, War Zone C, in Tay Ninh Province in the Republic of Vietnam. Company C was decisively engaged by a battalion of the 272d North Vietnamese Army Regiment
