Panzertruppen

The Kavallerietruppen (Cavalry) is a combat arms branch concerned with armored warfare. It works closely with the Fuẞtruppen. Apart from Headquarters and School Staff the majority of the Cavalry units are on reserve status.

History
The Cavalry Regiments trace their lineage directly to the traditional Prussian regiments of old. In 2008, IFV crews were transfered to the branch.

Organisation
The Kürassier is headed by a General der Kavallerie and consists of the Headquarters in the War Ministry, Cavalry School, and several units, either integrated or single field of service. The cavalry regiments are either designated light or heavy cavalry; the light cavalry (Husaren (Hussar) and Uhlan (Lancer)) are equipped and trained as reconnaissance units. The heavy cavalry (Kürassier (Curassier) and Dragoner (Dragoons)) are equipped with main battle tanks. The cavalry are trained to work closely with the Fuẞtruppen.
