Cavalry School (Fort Knox)

The Cavalry School at Fort Knox was a military training facility established in the early 20th century that specialized in training soldiers in horse-mounted combat tactics and cavalry operations. As warfare evolved, the focus shifted from horse-mounted units to armored vehicles and modern tactics. Although the school initially trained cavalry units, its role diminished with technological advancements. Today, Fort Knox is primarily known for the U.S. Army Armor Center and the Army Human Resources Command, but its legacy includes evolving military training methods and emphasizing the importance of cavalry and armored units in U.S. Army history.
