1. Hussars, essentially an honorific name identifying light cavalry
designed for war of raiding, reconnaissance, and security. Lancers,
as the name implies, used a long lance or spear as their primary
weapon. These elite troops, usually clad in gaudy outfits, remained
in European armies until the Great War of 1914 confirmed
their obsolescence. Dragoons have always been mounted infantrymen,
who traveled on horseback but fought on foot.

commander, 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment, in Germany, from
