The 2nd Arkansas Cavalry Regiment, also known as "Slemons' regiment," was a cavalry formation of the Confederate States Army in the American Civil War commanded by Colonel William F. Slemons. The regiment was also referred to in the official records as the 4th Arkansas Cavalry Regiment. Another regiment, commanded by Colonel Thomas J. Morgan, was also designated as the 2nd Arkansas Cavalry Regiment. About December 1864, the 2nd Arkansas Cavalry Regiment was reduced to a battalion and officially redesignated the 18th Arkansas Cavalry Battalion, also known as "McMurtrey's battalion".
