Side note: I think it's cool the british army kept the names of (some) cavalry units.
In the Netherlands, we also still have 3 Hussar regiments.
The scout-units are still the hussars and is still called Cavalry (light cav) and the tanks were part of the cavalry, too (Heavy cav), distinguished by their black barets.
The dragoons aren't tankers anymore, they used to use the Scimitar vehicle, but switched in the last two years, for Army 2020 plan, to Jackal Mk2s. Which I can't wait to be trained on.
So they're motorised infantry now?
They're Forward Recce, and fight dismounted 50% of the time. Boy, I can't wait to join them.
