Dragoons were originally horse-mounted infantry, in which soldiers would employ horses for transportation to and from the place of battle (and occasionally amid battle). They would, however, dismount to fight as foot soldiers.
As dragoons evolved, they sometimes fought from saddle in the same manner of conventional cavalry, typically as medium (as distinct from heavy or light) cavalry.
Today, many modern armoured regiments retain the term "dragoon" for historic reasons.
This category includes web pages dealing with dragoons from the regular forces, special forces, reserve and militia forces, and irregular forces. It also includes national, sub-national, supra-national, extra-national, and historic units.
Please do submit official and unofficial sites dealing with such units; personal pages of cavaliers from such units; unit associations; historical analyses; or other pages studying, celebrating, or citicizing such units.
Please do not submit re-enactor, entertainment, or business sites, which have their own categories elsewhere.
