Desert cavalry

Desert cavalry refers to mounted armed forces that operate in desert environments. Historically, they consist of soldiers on horseback or camels trained for mobility, reconnaissance, and swift attacks across harsh, arid terrains. Their agility allows them to cover vast areas quickly, gather intelligence, and carry out surprise maneuvers, making them effective in desert warfare. Modern desert cavalry may also utilize armored vehicles, but the term emphasizes their role in navigating and engaging in desert conditions, leveraging mobility and knowledge of the terrain for strategic advantage.
