Dragoons were organized not in squadrons but in companies, like the foot, and their officers and non-commissioned officers bore infantry titles.
However, dragoons were at a disadvantage when engaged against true cavalry, and constantly sought to improve their horsemanship and armament to the cavalry standard.
Thus, "dragoon" came to mean medium cavalry by the time of the early wars of Frederick the Great, in the 1740's.

 Dragon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Dragons are very popular characters in fantasy literature and video games today, especially in role-playing games.
The term dragoon, for infantry that move around by horse, yet still fight as foot soldiers, is derived from their early firearm, the "dragon", a wide-bore musket that spit flame when it fired, and was thus named for the mythical beast.
In medieval symbolism, dragons were often symbolic of apostasy and treachery, but also of anger and envy, and eventually symbolised great calamity.
