carabinier
Carbine-armed horseman
A carabinier is a soldier armed with a carbine—a shorter, lighter rifle than standard infantry weapons.
The term is historical, referring to cavalry troops who carried these weapons for mounted combat.
In modern usage, carabinieri (the Italian plural) specifically denotes Italy's national military police force, which handles both civilian law enforcement and military duties.
