Cavalry Corps

The Cavalry Corps refers to a specialized unit in military forces historically composed of troops on horseback. Their role was to conduct reconnaissance, engage in scouting, and participate in fast-moving battles, often flanking enemy positions. In modern contexts, while traditional cavalry has mostly evolved into mechanized units, the term can still refer to cavalry-style tactics and units within military organizations. Cavalry Corps played a significant role in many historical conflicts, valued for their mobility and speed, often impacting the outcome of battles by executing maneuvers that foot soldiers could not.
