description The National Struggle Operation started with the Greek forces occupying Izmir on May 15, 1919, and Mustafa Kemal Pasha arriving in Samsun on May 19, 1919. By 1921, the regular army was established (the formation of the regular military is considered to be from 20-25 June 1920, almost two months after theestablishment of the Turkish Grand National Assembly government). The 14th Cavalry Division was intially established in the Zara region under the Central Army organization in March 1921 before being attached to the Western Front Command. In July 1921, it was attached to the Western Front Command. On July, 16, 1921, it was attached to the 5th Group Command and continued its operations. It participated in the Battles of Kütahya and Eskişehir and the Battle of Sakarya as part of the 5th Cavalry Group. After September 13, 1921, when the Group Commands were transformed into a Corps organization, the 14th Cavalry Division remained under the 5th Cavalry Corps Command and performed combat duties in this corps until the end of the Turkish War of Independence. The 14th Cavalry Division operated under Lieutenant Colonel (later Major General) Mehmet Suphi (Kula) Bey. The division was comprised of the 3rd, 54th, and 55th Cavalry Regiments. This study evaluates the Battle of Afyonkarahisar, which took place between October 1-8, 1921, by deciphering the war reports of the 14th Cavalry Division Command and supporting them with maps.
