World War II cavalry

During World War II, cavalry units consisted of soldiers on horseback, mainly phased out by mechanized vehicles but still used in some regions. They provided reconnaissance, patrol, and rapid mobility in areas where tanks and trucks were less effective, such as rough terrain or underdeveloped regions. Cavalry reminded traditional mounted soldiers but often adapted with bicycles, motorcycles, or light vehicles. While their role diminished with advances in technology, they remained valuable for their agility, speed, and ability to operate in environments where modern vehicles were limited. Overall, WWII cavalry represented a transitional military force blending old tactics with new adaptations.
