Bataillon de Chasseurs à Cheval

The Bataillon de Chasseurs à Cheval is a unit of the French army, traditionally consisting of light cavalry. Established in the early 19th century, these units were known for their speed and mobility, acting as scouts and skirmishers on the battlefield. They played a key role in reconnaissance, gathering intelligence, and engaging skirmishes with enemy forces. Over time, the unit has evolved to serve not only in cavalry roles but also in more modern military contexts, adapting to the changing nature of warfare while maintaining their historic legacy.
