They aren't just moving around on horseback. They are actually doing caveley charges!!!!

If you were career Army, wouldn't you love a picture of yourself in the last (?) great Cavelry charge?

PS, Who are the horse holders?(that's a question for the real old guys)

Moving around on horses, even doing so under fire isn't exactly a cavalry charge. Let's not get carried away. :)

At the command PREPARE TO DISMOUNT TO FIGHT ON FOOT, every fourth trooper becomes a horse holder. When the other troopers grab their rifles and dismount they hand the reins of their mounts to the horseholder as he rides by. The dismounted troopers form a skirmish line while the horse holders go to the rear. The horse holder has to control his own mount and three others while the dismounted action takes place.

In the time of the North West Territories, the youngest member of a Five would hold the horses. This meant that the FNG's held the horses until they could be trusted in battle.

If you read the article carefully, you'd realize the U.S. troops aren't charging tanks on horseback (THANK GOD!). The Northern Alliance are. Gotta love our guys though. And we do. That's why they have better equipment than the Northern Alliance.
