1st Cavalry Army

The 1st Cavalry Army was a prominent military formation formed during the Russian Civil War in 1918, composed mainly of cavalry, infantry, and workers’ units. It was created to fight against anti-Bolshevik forces and expand Soviet control. Noted for its mobility and effectiveness, it played a key role in several major campaigns, including defeating White Army opponents and consolidating Bolshevik power. Over time, the army evolved, integrating different troops and tactics, and became a symbol of Soviet military strength and innovation during the early 20th century conflicts.
