Soldiers who fight on horseback are part of what?
The Cavalry! In the past, the "cavalry" was further divided into "light" and "heavy" cavalry. Heavy cavalry served as shock troopers. Knight and Napoleon's curraisiers are examples of heavy cavalry. Light cavalry served a scouts, skirmishers, and pursuit forces to attack enemy stragglers. Hussars, chasseurs, and to a degree dragoons, are light cav. (In theory, dragoons were not really "cavalry." Yes, they rode on horseback; but but they were supposed to fight dismounted as infantry with carbines. Not all generals chose to use them this way,however. (And, although technically called just plain "cavalry," Sheridan's Union troops and Forrest's Confederate cavalry often fought this way, essentially operating as highly mobile light infantry).

Why was the battle of Ia drang so important?
In 1965, the US Army wanted to try out a new infantry concept; "Airmobile Divisions". Prior to "Airmobile Divisions" (Helicopters carrying infantry), the US Army only had Paratroopers (Airborne Divisions created in WWII), and regular Infantry Divisions (whom we referred to as "straight legs"-because they were straight infantry, no vehicles, no helicopters, no parachutes, just boot leather!). The US Army would also be experimenting with Mechanized Infantry, equipped with the M-113 APC/ACAV (Armored Personnel Carrier/Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicle). In 1965 the US Army equipped two battalions of the newly re-formed 1st AIR CAVALRY DIVISION, and armed them with the brand new experimental M-16 rifle (at this time US Infantrymen were armed with the M-14 rifle). The men themselves came directly from the United States and into the Rebublic of South Vietnam. The new outfit, armed with new rifles, riding in new helicopters, headed out towards the Ia Drang valley and landed very close to a large enemy base; which turned out to be regular NVA troops, and not the local VC (Viet Cong). The battle lasted 3 days. The first battalion, depicted in the film, "We Were Soldiers Once..." suffered nearly one hundred KIA's. The second battalion, which is NOT depicted in the movie, suffered over two hundred KIA's.
How would you describe the Persian army?
It had potentially 2 million people able to be called out across the empire, supplied by the many peoples who made up the Empire. It had a core of professional troops - infantry and cavalry who were the mobile troops able to go to trouble spots, with the majority locals with limited capability and mobility, used for local problems. The invasion force mounted of Xerxes amounted to two army corps, each of five infantry divisions and one cavalry division (2 x 60,000), not the overall 2 million cited by Herodotus who was describing the overall assets of the Empire. It was supplied by sea, which was the only practicable way of supporting such a large force in a pre-mechanical transport era. Its strength was in the cavalry, which had to protect the unarmoured infantry against the armoured Greek soldiers.

What branch of the military is the armored division in?
The US Armored Division was a division that was organized to be a mobile unit that used tanks. The US Army did not have armored divisions when Germany began its "blitzkrieg" attacks across Europe. The US have very few good tanks. The US Army organized the Division to have 2 Armored Regiments and 1 Armored-infantry (or mobile infantry) Regiment. Later, this organization was found to be too bulky. Also, they saw the need to have smaller mobile armored units to support the infantry advance- simliar to German panzer-grenadier regiments. US Infantry Divisions did not have any armored units as part of their organization. However, they eventually had 1 Tank Destroyer Battalion and 1 Anti-Tank Battalion or more assigned to them for support.
