	Mounted infantry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The distinction between cavalry and mounted infantry was in practice somewhat vague, but the mid-19th century onwards some cavalry units in the American Civil War, the Boers in the Boer Wars and others usually fought as mounted infantry.
		The first mounted infantry units to be named as such were raised during the Mexican-American War (as the Regiment of Mounted Riflemen, but redesignated Third Cavalry Regiment in 1860) and others followed, for example in Australia in the 1880s.
		Mounted infantry largely disappeared with the demise of the horse as a means of military transport in the 1930s and 1940s.

	Brian's Wargame Pages: SGII House Rules
		Suppression counters effect a mounted infantry squads ability to perform final defensive fire during a close assault in exactly the same way as they effect normal infantry and final defencive fire is the only way a mounted infantry squad can perform a fire action while affected by a suppression.
		Untreated casualties: When a mounted infantry squad moves with untreated casualties, it is assumed that two of the wounded troopers squad mates are holding the casualty onto his bike and moving the bike and rider along with the unit.
		Mounted infantry who suffer the effects of final defensive fire while performing a close assault are affected in exactly the same manner as a normal infantry squad.

	Dragoons
		Cornet in the dragoons was the equivalent of ensign in the infantry.
		Besides their different firearms and the number of privates per company, which varied from time to time, the regiments had uniforms that differed principally in the color of the trim, which in 1861 was orange for the dragoons, green for the riflemen, and yellow for the cavalry.
		Mounted on fine, swift horses, they were able to move boldly to cause maximum disruption to the enemy and to provide the vital information needed by senior commanders to plan and fight their battles.

		Tank units complement the mounted infantry and other arms must be furnished with mobility comparable to these elements, recognizing the reality that tanks, LVT's, towed and SP artillery, LAV's, HMMV's and motor transport equipment all display varied speeds and terrain-crossing capabilities.
		Generally, the infantry provide close in protection to small tank units and act as eyes and ears for the tanks, which provide firepower and force obstacles for the advance.
		Infantry commanders must utilize the expertise of AAV unit leaders in planning the employment and executing movements of the AAV's.

		Likewise if they were mounted infantry on horses and had started 400p way and they stopped at 200p then of course its a march because they moved at cavalry speed.
		Mounted Bow cannot 'march' and fire and therefore have to use a 'tactical' move (and lose the mounts) if they want to move and fire in a bound.
		The concept of mounted infantry on the tactical scale is quite limited.A way of spotting your opponents a few points,when the mounted option is mandatory.

		Meanwhile, as the force of the rebels was unknown to us, Elder's battery was placed in position on the crest on a little hill in front of Barber's house, which gently sloped down to the river bank, and the cavalry and mounted infantry were placed on either side in line of battle to support it.
		Efforts were made to throw a force of cavalry across the stream on the left of the rebel position; but it was discovered that the river at the point was not fordable, and the attempt was relinquished.

	Chapter I: Introduction
		Since armored units were generally assigned to support dismounted infantry, their speed and ability to act independently, an important part of any armored unit's contribution to the battle team, were never used.
		The Army staff therefore concluded that while tanks for the support of dismounted infantry might be required, there was no possibility for independent large-scale combined arms action by armored forces such as those of the World War II armored divisions.
		It was an infantry war; armored units were employed, but what they learned was neither widely publicized nor often studied.

		Dismounted armored infantry, with direct fire support of tanks, leads the attack when the type of mission, the nature of the terrain, the enemy opposition, or the composition of the tank-armored infantry team cause the commander to select this method of attack.
		The armored infantry either continues the advance dismounted or mounts and follows the tanks depending upon the distance to the objective and the nature of the opposition.
