Cavalry.
Cavalry/Infantry/DragoonCavalry rides to the battle and fights mounted. Traditionally on horseback, but motorized with humvees and helicopters nowdays.Infantry walks to the battle and fights on foot. But today, they may get to the front by truck, airplane, etc.Dragoons rode to the front but fought on foot. So today's infantry are really dragoons, but that term has disappeared.
Greek cavalry, like almost all cavalry forces of the time, were lightly armoured and usually armed with javelins only, keeping a safe distance from heavily-armed infantry units. Macedonian cavalry was the first to wear body cuirasses and to be more heavily armed. Another difference was that they were the first to not only fight from spear-throwing distance, but to attack infantry units in formation.
No, that was the cavalry.
The Persian cavalry was not available and the Athenian arboured infantry overcame the unarmoured infantry unprotected by their cavalry.
Contrary to traditional wars, the cavalry attacked after the infantry.
hussar is light cavalry; dragoon is heavily armed cavalry.
most likely no. because cavalry are horseback fighters and infantry are foot soldiers hope i helped!! :D
Infantry is still in existence, because that was our main approach at Iraq. Cavalry exists in the form of cars in place of horses. Navy definitely exists: There's a whole branch in the military for that. There are two types of cavalry still in existence - armoured cavalry, and air cavalry. The infantry element of an air cav unit was replaced by air assault infantry, but attack and scout helicopter formations are still part of air cav.
