FM 2-15 Cavalry Field Manual - Employment of Cavalry

Cavalry is that combatant arm of the ground forces organized primarily to perform missions requiring great mobility and fire power. It comprises horse, porte, and mechanized elements. In combination, these elements are employed so that one supplements the other; however, elements of each type are entirely capable of independent operation within the sphere of action determined by its powers and limitations. Cavalry can operate either in close cooperation with other arms or separately.
