Mounted infantry soldier that rode horses for mobility and dismounted before they engaged in combat
Dragoons were originally a class of mounted infantry, who used horses for mobility, but dismounted to fight on foot. From the early 17th century onward, dragoons were increasingly also employed as conventional cavalry and trained for combat with swords and firearms from horseback. Wikipedia
