Ma'am, (avoiding earlier rank confusion, and now concerned you are following the post),
"their role is more usually offensive in nature not defensive".
that's what I understood but Nathan seems to imply (please correct me if I am wrong Nathan) that the cavalry were placed on the wings/ridge tops to defend those locations as opposed to being up there in order to sweep down upon the enemy. So his cavalry would have to be operating rather differently to the norm I guess or simply aggressively patrolling.
With the "aid of a defile" was how I remembered that one.
