Of the three combat formations of the Assyrian armies - infantry, cavalry and chariot corps - the chariot represented the principal strength of the Assyrian army in open battle.
The design and construction of the chariots of Assurnasirpal II and Shalmaneser III (858 - 824 BC) reflected both their use as combat vehicles and their employment for carrying dispatches and conducting reconnaissance and pursuit missions.
Consequently, by the reign of Ashurbanipal (668 - 627 BC), the role of the chariot had been reduced to that of a mobile firing platform for archers and a shock vehicle for use against the enemy front.
