The First Cavalry Division otherwise known as The Rough Riders were a Columbian military unit orginized for the Great Dauk War. Comprising of Golden, Rattzen, Kaisaras, Bean and H1p0. the units purpose was to provide shock support and mobility for the allied forces in light of changes to the war system. The Unit consisted of about eight horses, that were shared among foreign volunteers to aid in the offensive on the Dauk front. Despite the First Cavalry being a Columbian unit, Bean and H1p0 have both posthumously been inducted as First Cavalry Rangers due to their bravery during the war and American ties.
The start of the First Cavalry traces back to before the hostilities of the Great Dauk War, before the Dauk Empire's collapse, when Columbian commanders were still devising a plan to defend against the Dauk horde. Upon deliberation, Vice President Rattzen decided upon the creation of a horse eugenics program based out of New Mexico. By the time of the conflict proper, ~8 steeds were ready for combat, which were passed out among the First Cavalry and allied forces. Before the conflict start time, during preparations, Brazilians apart of the Anthropian volunteer detachment misfired, killing many of the steeds, only leaving 3-4 by the time hostilities commenced. Despite this blunder, the First Cavalry went on to prove effective in the early stages of the Dauk Front Offensive, providing the mobility to outmaneuver defenders.
Upon conclusion of the war, the First Cavalry was dissolved and despite their successes, cavalry was never used again in any further wars involving the Columbian Federation.
