Cavalry Formation

Cavalry formation refers to how groups of mounted soldiers (cavalry) organize and position themselves on the battlefield. These formations are designed to maximize mobility, strength, and strategic advantage, allowing cavalry to quickly launch attacks, flank enemies, or pursue retreating forces. Common formations include lines, squares, or wedges, each suited for different tactics like defense or offense. Well-structured cavalry formations enable rapid movement and coordination, vital for exploiting weaknesses in enemy lines or protecting key positions. The effectiveness of these formations depends on discipline, communication, and understanding of terrain.
