Information: - Combat arms (or fighting arms in non-American parlance) is a collective name in a system of administrative military reference to those troops within national armed forces which participate in direct tactical ground combat. In general they include units that carry or employ a weapon system such as infantry, cavalry, and artillery units. The use of multiple combat arms in mutually supporting ways is known as combined arms. - Cavalry (from French "cavalerie", cf. "cheval" 'horse') or horsemen were soldiers or warriors who fought mounted on horseback. Cavalry were historically the most mobile of the combat arms. An individual soldier in the cavalry is known by a number of designations such as cavalryman, horseman, dragoon or trooper. The designation of cavalry was not usually given to any military forces that used other animals, such as camels, mules or elephants. Infantry who moved on horseback, but dismounted to fight on foot, were known in the 17th and early 18th centuries as dragoons, a class of mounted infantry which later evolved into cavalry proper while retaining their historic title. - Mounted infantry were infantry who rode horses instead of marching, but, as infantry does in general, fought on foot (in the modern era with muskets or rifles, but before that with swords, spears, bows, or crossbows). In contrast, cavalry fought on horseback. The original dragoons were essentially mounted infantry. According to the 1911 "Encyclopdia Britannica", "Mounted rifles are half cavalry, mounted infantry merely specially mobile infantry." Today, with motor vehicles having replaced horses for military transport, the motorized infantry are in some respects successors to mounted infantry. - H.O.R.S.E. is a form of poker commonly played at the high-stakes tables of casinos.

Schmidt was born at Schwedt on the Oder in the Province of Brandenburg , and entered the 4th Ulans as a second lieutenant in 1834 . Schmidt 's long regimental service was varied by staff service and instructional work , and in the mobilization of 1859 he had the command of a landwehr cavalry regiment . In 1863 he was made colonel of the 4th Cuirassiers , which he commanded in the , for the cavalry arm , uneventful campaigns in the Second Schleswig War of 1864 and the Austro - Prussian War of 1866 . He then commanded a newly raised regiment of Schleswig - Holstein troops , the 16th Hussars , but at the outbreak of the Franco - Prussian War he was still an obscure and perhaps a mistrusted officer , though his grasp of every detail of cavalry work was admitted . But an opportunity for distinction was grasped in the cavalry fighting around Mars - la - Tour ( August 16 ) , in which he temporarily led a brigade and was severely wounded . He was soon promoted major - general and succecded to the temporary command of his division on the disablement of its leader . In this post Schmidt did brilliant work in the campaign on the Loire , and even in the winter operations towards Le Mans , and earned a reputation second to none amongst the officers and men of his arm . After the war he took a leading part in the reorganization of the Prussian cavalry , which in ten years raised its efficiency to a point far beyond that of any other cavalry in Europe . In 1875 , though his health was failing , he refused to give up the conduct of certain important cavalry manoeuvres with which he had been entrusted . But a few days of heavy work in the field brought on a fatal illness , and he died at Danzig on the 25 August 1875 . In 1889 the 4th Ulans , in which his regimental service was almost entirely spent , were given the name '' von Schmidt '' . Schmidt 's drill and maneuvre instructions were codified and published after his death by his... - The military, also called the armed forces, are forces authorized to use deadly force, and weapons, to support the interests of the state and some or all of its citizens. The task of the military is usually defined as defense of the state and its citizens, and the prosecution of war against another state. The military may also have additional sanctioned and non-sanctioned functions within a society, including, the promotion of a political agenda, protecting corporate economic interests, internal population control, construction, emergency services, social ceremonies, and guarding important areas. The military can also function as a discrete subculture within a larger civil society, through the development of separate infrastructures, which may include housing, schools, utilities, food production and banking. - Dragoon regiments were established in most European armies during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. - Infantry is the general branch of an army that engages in military combat on foot. As the troops who engage with the enemy in close-ranged combat, infantry units bear the largest brunt of warfare and typically suffer the greatest number of casualties during a military campaign. Historically, as the oldest branch of the combat arms, the infantry are the tip of the spear of a modern army, and continually undergo training that is typically more physically demanding and psychologically stressful than that of any other branch of the combat arms. Common representations of infantry fighting forces include the U.S. Army Infantry Branch, U.S. Marine Corps Infantry, Royal Canadian Infantry Corps, Infantry of the British Army, and the Royal Australian Corps of Infantry. - A warrior is a person specializing in combat or warfare, especially within the context of a tribal or clan-based warrior culture society that recognizes a separate warrior class or caste. - A soldier is one who fights as part of an organised, land-based armed force.
