10th Season Redesign.
In celebration of their 10th season of operation, the Cavalry redesigned their logo, uniforms, and hats. The change was first revealed on 3 July 2019 at MIT Ballpark. 
The logo went from a brown and black horse to a grey horse with fiery orange mane. The secondary logo was changed from an interlocking "CC" to interlocking horseshoes turned on their sides, giving the same "CC" effect. 
The home white uniform had CAVALRY spelled across the chest while an orange alternate used the team's nickname, CAVS. A third jersey would later be unveiled: a black top with "The Capital" written in orange script. The new hats included a black, orange, and white colored panel hat with the primary horse logo on the front and an all orange hat with a single sideways horseshoe from the secondary logo.

Staff.
Coaching Department.
On 8 September 2010 former Philadelphia Phillies pitcher and Lakewood BlueClaws pitching coach, Steve Schrenk, was announced head coach.
From 2012-18, former Cavalry player, Michael Collins was the manager.
Keith Ward replaced Michael Collins as manager starting in the 2018/19 season.
Venue.
The Cavs play home games at MIT Ballpark, located in the south-central Canberra suburb of Narrabundah, ACT, Australia. The fans nicknamed the venue "The Fort", which the Cavs management has embraced. The ballpark received a major renovation upgrade in 2010 with a second stage of upgrades planned for 2017.
Club Identity.
Mascot.
The Canberra Cavalry team mascot is a Yosemite Sam-type character named 'Sarge', with an Australian slouch hat, Cavalry-orange shirt, Auscam pants and brown Army boots. The team song, played after winning games, is "I Wanna Be in the Cavalry" by Corb Lund. In the 2014-15 season, Sarge got a 'quad' car.
Community work.
In the 2012-13 season, the degree of community work and outreach was markedly up on previous seasons, with game-day shirts for sale to assist community organisations for most days of home seasons. This began with Legacy Australia that supports family members of service people, and included the Canberra Hospital Trust, the Heart Foundation, Red Cross ACT, and The Global Poverty Walk's Matt Napier.
Local politicians.
MIT Ballpark is owned by the Government of the Australian Capital Territory. The Cavalry management regularly hosts local politicians and their families at games, to raise their awareness of baseball and the Australian Baseball League. This is extended to each part of the political spectrum.
Sponsors.
The current major sponsor, since the 2015/16 season, is MIT Services.
