| Summary | "Cavalry" by Friedrich von Bernhardi is a military treatise that provides an analysis of the role and functions of cavalry in modern warfare, probably written in the early 20th century. The text delves into the strategic and tactical applications of cavalry in both offensive and defensive operations, emphasizing its importance in reconnaissance and communication. Through comprehensive discussion, von Bernhardi critiques existing doctrines and suggests necessary reforms to adapt to the evolving battlefield. The opening of this work introduces the author's credentials as a cavalry officer and outlines the increasing significance of cavalry in military operations following advancements in weaponry and tactics. It highlights the major shifts in the cavalry's responsibilities, especially in terms of reconnaissance, where it must now operate with greater independence and adaptability. Von Bernhardi questions preconceived notions about cavalry's role derived from historical conflicts, advocating for a thorough understanding of its evolving function against the realities of contemporary warfare. Overall, this initial segment sets the stage for a detailed exploration of modern cavalry tactics, emphasizing the necessity for an updated doctrine reflective of new military strategies.
