cavalry service

Cavalry service refers to military units equipped with horses, used primarily for rapid movement, reconnaissance, and flanking strategies during combat. Cavalry soldiers, or troopers, relied on their horses for mobility, allowing them to quickly gather intelligence, pursue retreating enemies, or protect the flanks of main armies. Historically vital before mechanization, cavalry played a key role in battlefield flexibility and speed. Today, cavalry units often operate with modern vehicles, but the term still signifies mobile, fast-response troops essential to military operations.
