1st Cavalry Army was a prominent military formation that played a significant role in the Russian Civil War, particularly during the Red Army's campaigns against the White Army and other opposing forces. The 1st Cavalry Army was formed in 1919, with Semyon Budyonny as its first commander, and it consisted of experienced Bolshevik cavalrymen, including those from the Don Cossacks and Kuban Cossacks. The army's early successes were largely due to the leadership of Joseph Stalin, who served as the People's Commissar for Nationalities and played a key role in the Russian Revolution. The 1st Cavalry Army's operations were often coordinated with other Red Army units, such as the 11th Army (Soviet Union) and the 12th Army (Soviet Union).

The 1st Cavalry Army was established on March 17, 1919, with the goal of defeating the White Army's Don Army and Caucasus Army in the North Caucasus region. The army's early campaigns were marked by significant victories, including the Battle of Tsaritsyn and the Battle of Novorossiysk, which were fought in conjunction with the Astrakhan-Caspian Military Flotilla and the Volga Military Flotilla. The 1st Cavalry Army also played a crucial role in the Polish-Soviet War, particularly during the Battle of Warsaw and the Battle of Komarów, where they faced off against the Polish Army and its allies, including the Ukrainian People's Army. The army's operations were supported by the Cheka, the OGPU, and other Soviet security agencies, which provided intelligence and logistical support.

The 1st Cavalry Army was organized into several divisions, including the 4th Cavalry Division (Soviet Union) and the 6th Cavalry Division (Soviet Union)), which were equipped with Mosin-Nagant rifles, Maxim machine guns, and other Soviet military equipment.

The 1st Cavalry Army also had its own air support, provided by the Red Air Force's 1st Air Army (Soviet Union) and other aviation units, including the Baltic Fleet Air Force and the Black Sea Fleet Air Force. The army's logistics and supply chain were managed by the Soviet Ministry of Defense and the Soviet General Staff, which coordinated with other Soviet ministries and Soviet institutions to ensure the army's needs were met.
