John Jenkins Designs CWMLD-01A Militia Dragoon, American Continental and Militia Dragoons.
One of Brigadier General Daniel Morgan's greatest concerns was his lack of adequate numbers of dragoons. Dragoons served both sides as scouts, mounted pickets, mobile reserves, and shock troops. One of their primary functions was to exploit a victory by riding down the remnants of broken enemy infantry. Weapons included a carbine and a brace of heavy pistols, Although according to Colonel William Washington the "only necessary weapon a dragoon carries" was the sabre. Several small volunteer militia contingents were hastily equipped as dragoons to reinforce the cavalry, as it was well known the strength of Tarleton's mounted legion.
