Aderian Royal Equine Battalion

An Aderain Equine Battalion is a force comprised of 2,000-3,000 mounted combatants commanded by a Champion Cavalier, all of whom are knighted by their respective lord or lady. Since a considerable portion of knights are of noble descent, an equine battalion is somewhat loosely structured; this is not to say that it isn't ordered and/or disciplined, and the chain of command is strict and lacks any sort of ambiguity.

Composition

Manpower

An equine battalion is divided into Vans and Flanks. A van is commanded by a cavalry captain and is the frontal assault force, while a flank refers to the combatants in the side of the formation and commanded by a flank leader. Depending on circumstances, the Vanpik, which is the van commanded by the battalion's champion, may be located anywhere within the formation; most commonly, it is either the first van to charge or the last.
