Cavalry Branch Insignia Chrome Emblem

This Cavalry branch insignia measures 2 inches in width and made of chrome-plated zinc alloy for long-term use on exterior vehicle surfaces. Each emblem features a 3M adhesive backing designed for secure mounting to cars, trucks, SUVs, or motorcycles. The 3D design replicates the official cross sabers insignia and a better alternative to thin vinyl stickers.

At the time of the American Revolution, the term cavalry was applied to that branch of the military service whose members served and fought on horseback; the word horse was used about as often and meant essentially the same thing. By the eighteenth century specialization had developed sufficiently in cavalry to bring forth three distinctive types of mounted commands, varying in mission, armament, and weight of horses: the heavy cavalry, used primarily for shock effect in battle; the light cavalry, designed for reconnaissance, screening missions, and messenger service; and the dragoons, trained to fight both on foot and on horse.
