dc.descriptionTowards the end of 1776, Washington formed what became known as Light Dragoons and Partisan Corps or Legions. Light Dragoons were specifically units of mounted cavalry or horse. Partisan Corps were unique, for unlike dragoons of horse, they were elite units consisting of both cavalry and light infantry of foot. Highly mobile, by the summer of 1777, both forms of cavalry became the eyes and ears of the American army. It became common for highly mobile groups of light cavalry to not only provide valuable service during major battles, but to conduct reconnaissance and surveillance, engage enemy troop movements, disrupt delivery of supplies, raid and skirmish enemy positions, and organize expeditions behind enemy lines to gather intelligence.
