Historical military units

Historical military units are organized groups of soldiers formed for specific purposes in warfare. These units vary in size, structure, and function, ranging from small squads to large armies. Common examples include infantry (foot soldiers), cavalry (mounted troops), and artillery (cannoneers). Each unit plays a distinct role; for instance, infantry confronts enemies directly, while artillery provides long-range support. Over time, these units have evolved in tactics and technology, reflecting changes in warfare. Understanding these units helps us appreciate military organization and strategy throughout history.
