Yes, the U.S. Army did employ Cavalry Units during World War One. First, they had Cavalry Regiments assigned to the Mexican Border, as German was trying to influence Mexico in entering the war against the U.S. Second, in France. These units were employed as rear guard units, to patrol and security. In addition several regiments were used on the front lines for recon, sometimes dismounted and sometimes mounted, depending on the terrain. One particular unit, the 2nd Cavalry Regiment saw action and were involved in an attack on a fortified German trench line. They were repulsed with heavy casulties.
