Cavalry

History
Cavalry is composed of soldiers trained to fight on horseback. Because of their speed, they were often used for reconnaissance missions and hit-and-run type attacks on enemy installations and troops. Although warriors fighting from horseback with a variety of weapons date back to ancient Egypt, horse-mounted cavalry as we know it today began in the late 1700s. Under Napoleon, the cavalry became an elite force.

General Information
