Mounted Troop

A mounted troop is a group of soldiers or law enforcement officers who operate on horseback. They use horses for transportation, mobility, and combat or patrol purposes, especially in areas where vehicles may not be practical. Mounted units are known for their agility, ability to cover large terrains quickly, and their presence, which can be both practical for operations and symbolic for ceremonial events. They are commonly seen in police work during parades or crowd control and are also historically significant in cavalry roles within armies.
