About This Book

A professional study of mounted forces that explains their operational roles—reconnaissance, screening, raids—and how peacetime training and duties prepare them for wartime employment. The author assesses tactics and organisation, criticises regulations that conflict with battlefield realities, and argues for preserving cavalry mobility and an offensive ethos while ensuring close coordination with other arms. The work reviews lessons drawn from recent campaigns, outlines practical guidance for manoeuvres and scouting, and engages with contemporary doctrinal debate about how cavalry should adapt to modern conditions of war.

Friedrich von Bernhardi

Friedrich von Bernhardi was a German general and military theorist known for his influential works on cavalry and warfare. His notable publications include "Cavalry in Future Wars," where he explored the evolving role of cavalry in modern military strategy, and "Germany and the Next War," which presented his views on the geopolitical landscape of the early 20th century. Bernhardi's writings contributed to the discourse on military tactics and the implications of technology in warfare, reflecting the strategic thinking of his time. His ideas remain a point of reference in studies of military history and theory.
