FM 2-10 Cavalry Field Manual - Mechanized Elements

April 1941

The purpose of drill in mechanized elements of cavalry is to train soldiers to function in groups in definite formations and movements so as to permit rapid and flexible maneuver and facilitate tactical employment mounted or dismounted. Drill is the foundation of that discipline which insures teamwork under adverse conditions and ultimately brings success in battle.

Dismounted drills are conducted in conformity with the provisions of FM 22-5. Drills in which vehicles are involved are covered by the provisions of this manual.

Usually mounted drills are restricted to units no larger than a squadron.
