    Romanias CavalRyRomania started the war with the Soviet Union withsix Cavalry Brigades, based on 12 Rosiori and 6 ClrasiRegiments, while the other 7 ClrasiRegiments were usedor the Reconnaissance units o larger ormations. Due totheir elite nature they were some o the rst units to undergomechanisation. During the course o the war the RomanianCavalry underwent substantial organisational change, rstmotorising some units with trucks and motorcycles and thenthe expansion o the brigades into divisions in 1942.

    In 1942 each Cavalry Division had three cavalry regi-ments, two were horse mounted and one was motorised.Te Romanian cavalry were skilled mounted inantrymen,

    whether operating rom horseback or rom motor transport

    and ullled the roll o elite mobile inantry rather than tra-ditional sabre waving cavalry.

    Like most European nations to be involved in the wars othe late 19th Century, the Romanians had learnt the lessonso modern combat and retrained their cavalry as mountedinantry beore the First World War.

    Modern cavalry are not the shock arm as they were o daysgone by, though they are still more than capable o the odd

    dashing charge. Now they are like the old ashion dragoonsand ght as mounted inantry. Tey are just as comortableghting dismounted as they are on horseback.

    Te Romanian cavalry is traditionally divided into the

    Clrasi and Rosiori, but by WWII any organisational ortraining diferences had disappeared. Te 12 Rosioriand six

    vanatoRde CaReo deal with Soviet tanks Romanian troops would oten arma ew brave men rom their company with satchel charges,anti-tank mines, Molotov cocktails and other improvisedclose-assault anti-tank weapons. Te Vanator de Care (tank

    hunter) has to be a brave man, he knows that an assault on aenemy tank could quite easily become his last.

    ClrasiRegiments made up the six cavalry divisions while

    the other seven ClrasiRegiments provided the cavalry orthe inantry and higher ormations.
