I was unaware of this, and it's a pretty neat story. "Reckless made 51 trips to resupply the guns with ammunition on one day alone."

She was led to and from the place a couple of times, but largely just ran back and forth herself.

That said, unless there was some late-in-life promotion, her top rank was Staff Sergeant. But impressive, nonetheless, as she's the only horse in US history to be promoted to the rank of sergeant.
