Modern cavalry

Modern cavalry refers to military units that use vehicles, such as armored cars and helicopters, to perform roles traditionally associated with mounted troops. Unlike historical cavalry that rode horses, modern cavalry focuses on mobility, reconnaissance, and quick strikes against enemy forces. They often operate in combined arms teams, working alongside infantry, armor, and air support. Their role has evolved to include intelligence gathering and rapid response, making them vital for modern warfare, where speed and adaptability are crucial in dynamic combat environments.
