Cavalrymen

Cavalrymen are soldiers who fight mounted on horses, historically used for fast movement, reconnaissance, and shock tactics in battle. They played a vital role in warfare before the rise of mechanized infantry, allowing armies to outmaneuver enemies and gather intelligence. Cavalry units were known for their speed and ability to strike quickly. Over time, as technology evolved, many cavalry roles were replaced by armored vehicles, but the term "cavalry" still exists in modern military contexts, often referring to units that maintain traditional horse-mounted traditions or serve in rapid deployment roles.
