Cavalry

The Regulations of 1787 remained in force throughout the Revolutionary Wars.

The squadron was formed as follows. The right flank company was formed from the right to left, the left flank company from the left to right. The biggest men on the best and fastest horses were placed in the front rank. Every effort was made to have uniformity of size in the front rank. On parade, the captain rode two paces in front of the centre, the lieutenant one pace in front of the second section of the right Hank, and the cornet or ensign one pace in front of the second section of the left. The sergeant-major rode behind the front, one pace to the rear of the second rank with the senior company officer; the quartermaster rode with the junior company officer. The company trainer and two corporals rode on both flanks of the first rank and on the right of the second. The trumpeter rode on the right flank of the first rank.
