what form of transport does a cavalry regiment use?

Answer 1

In the old days it would have been horses. Now days they use helicopters, tanks, armored personnel carriers and humvees.

Answer 2

Cavalry Regiments were originally equipped with horses, hence the name. At the time of the 1914-1918 war, it was realised that horses were outmoded in modern warfare. This was confirmed by a report in 1926 and cavalry regiments are now completely mechanised, except for ceremonial purposes. The exact types of tanks and other transport will be found by searching on the following regiments.
The Household Cavalry
The Household Cavalry Regiment
The Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment

The Royal Armoured Corps

1st The Queen's Dragoon Guards
The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards
The Royal Dragoon Guards
The Queen's Royal Hussars
9th/12th Royal Lancers
The King's Royal Hussars
The Light Dragoons
The Queen's Royal Lancers
1st Royal Tank Regiment
2nd Royal Tank Regiment

Answer 3

Are you talking about now or in earlier times? The name CAVALRY relates to horses, so in the past that is the only form of transport such a regiment would have used. However, I think that most armies got rid of horses at the end of the First World War. Cavalry regiments still exist (in UK) and they actually use tanks and armoured cars.

Answer 4

horses. i would imagine.

Cavalry (from French cavalerie) were soldiers or warriors who fought mounted on horseback in combat. The designation was not usually extended to any military force that used other animals, such as camels or mules. Infantry who moved on horseback but dismounted to fight on foot were in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries known as dragoons, a class of mounted troops which later evolved into cavalry proper while retaining their historic title. From earliest times cavalry had the advantage of improved mobility, an "instrument which multiplied the fighting value of even the smallest forces, allowing them to outflank and avoid, to surprise and overpower, to retreat and escape according to the requirements of the moment." [citation needed] A man fighting from horseback also had the advantages of greater height, speed, and inertial mass over an opponent on foot.

In many modern armies, the term cavalry is often used for units that fill the traditional horse-borne light cavalry roles of scouting, screening, skirmishing and raiding. The shock role, traditionally filled by heavy cavalry, is generally filled by units with the "armoured" designation.

In the old days, cavalry meant horse-mounted soldiers. In modern times, it means 'armored' units which use tanks, armored personnel carriers, Humvees (and their equivalent), and helicopters: the 1st Air Cavalry in Vietnam was transported by the workhorse Bell helicopters nicknamed 'Hueys' (UH-1A through UH-1H models, UH standing for Utility Helicopter).
