United States Army Cavalry School

The United States Army Cavalry School was a training institution dedicated to educating soldiers in mounted warfare, tactics, and reconnaissance. Located at Fort Riley, Kansas, it prepared cavalry units to perform their roles effectively, such as spotting enemy movements, conducting patrols, and engaging in combat while on horseback or using modern vehicles. Over time, as technology advanced, the focus shifted from traditional horseback riding to armored and motorized units. The school played a crucial role in developing cavalry tactics and leadership, contributing significantly to the U.S. Army's ability to adapt to evolving warfare strategies.
