U.S. Cavalry School

The U.S. Cavalry School, established in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, was a military training facility focused on teaching mounted warfare tactics, horsemanship, and cavalry operations for U.S. Army soldiers. Located primarily at Fort Riley, Kansas, it prepared personnel for both traditional horse-mounted combat and evolving strategies in cavalry warfare. The school played a key role in modernizing cavalry training before the transition to mechanized units, influencing U.S. military tactics and leadership development during that era.
