Summary "Cavalry in Future Wars" by Friedrich von Bernhardi is a military treatise written in the early 20th century. The work examines the evolving role and importance of cavalry in modern warfare, particularly in the context of changes in military technology and tactics since the Franco-German War. This publication delves into the strategic and tactical shifts necessary for cavalry units to adapt to the increased firepower and scale of contemporary combat, maintaining that the cavalry’s initial pivotal role is far from obsolete. At the start of the text, the author articulates his belief in the necessity for reforming cavalry strategies to align with modern warfare requirements. He leverages his experiences to underscore the transition from traditional cavalry charges to more complex roles incorporating reconnaissance, mobility, and the effective use of firearms. The opening chapters outline the significant challenges cavalry will face in future conflicts, shaped by improved weaponry and operational strategies, while also emphasizing the need for robust training and organizational reforms to harness the cavalry's potential effectively. The author's insights provide a comprehensive framework for understanding the critical function of cavalry units in the evolving landscape of military engagements.
