The United States Army Cavalry is a branch of the U.S. Army that specializes in reconnaissance, security, and mobility operations. Historically, cavalry units were mounted on horses, but modern cavalry primarily uses armored vehicles and helicopters to perform their missions. They play a crucial role in gathering intelligence and providing support to ground forces. Cavalry units are often organized into squadrons and can be found in both active and reserve components of the Army. They are equipped with advanced technology and weaponry, allowing them to operate effectively in various environments. The cavalry's adaptability makes it an essential part of the Army's overall strategy.
