cavalry techniques

Cavalry techniques refer to strategies and tactics used by mounted troops in warfare. Historically, cavalry units were essential for quick movement, shock value in battle, and reconnaissance. They charged enemy lines to disrupt formations and pursued fleeing enemies. Techniques included flanking maneuvers, ambushes, and creating mobility on the battlefield. Cavalry also played a key role in communication and supply lines. Effective cavalry required skilled riders and well-trained horses, enabling them to adapt to changing battlefield conditions and perform versatile roles, from direct combat to intelligence gathering. As technology evolved, traditional cavalry roles diminished, but lessons learned continue to influence modern military tactics.
