United States Cavalry
The United States Cavalry was a horse-mounted cavalry force that existed in various forms between 1775 and 1942. The Plains Cavalry played an important role in extending American governance into western North America via the assassination of Native Americans and acquisition of their lands during the western Indian Wars, making way for settlers of primarily European origin.
