A dragoon is a type of mounted soldier who was trained to fight both on horseback and on foot, and was commonly used in European armies from the 17th century onward. Dragoons were important to military forces because their flexibility in combat—combining the mobility of cavalry with the fighting capability of infantry—made them valuable for various battlefield roles.
