Horse soldiers group
A cavalry troop is a military unit of mounted soldiers, typically equivalent to an infantry company in size—around 60 to 200 personnel.
In modern armies, cavalry units often operate armored vehicles rather than horses but retain the traditional designation: The cavalry troop moved to secure the ridge.
