	The United States Cavalry \| www.freehorsetraining.com
		The three regiments of cavalry and one of dragoons authorized by Congress shortly after the independence of the United States were never at their authorized strength and were subsequently disbanded, so that between 1802 and the beginning of the War of 1812 our army included no mounted troops.
		The 1st Cavalry Division—consisting of the 7th, 8th, 5th and 12th Regiments, supporting artillery and other divisional troops—fought dismounted as infantry as an element of the Sixth Army, distinguishing itself in the Southwest Pacific on the Admiralty Islands and in the Philippines.
		Cavalry marches are generally made at the rate of about six miles per hour—at the trot and walk—with at least a five-minute halt each hour.
