Dragoons were originally infantrymen deployed by horse, but later became cavalry. They were therefore trained in horse riding as well as infantry fighting skills. Dragoon regiments were established in most European armies during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Originally dragoons were considered as separate from regular cavalry, but during the 18th century they evolved into conventional mounted troops trained to fight from horseback. The word "dragoon" is derived from the French Army designation dragon which was originally the name of a type of firearm carried by French dragoons. In French, Portuguese, and Spanish there is no distinction between the words dragoon and dragon.
