Cavalry Division

A Cavalry Division is a unit in an army that traditionally consists of soldiers trained to fight on horseback. Historically, cavalry played a crucial role in warfare for reconnaissance (gathering information), flanking enemy positions, and pursuing retreating forces. In modern contexts, while traditional horse-mounted cavalry is rare, the term now often refers to units equipped with armored vehicles or helicopters that can operate quickly and provide mobility on the battlefield. Cavalry divisions are valuable for their speed, flexibility, and ability to cover large areas rapidly.
