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.
