Last Cavalry Charge

[Lonecat Nekophrodite]

Is the Afghanistan Campaign in 2001 the last time to see cavalry charge in the classic manner?

Did Twelve Green Berets fought Talibans on horseback as shown in 12 Men strong movie? or did they shoot dismounted?

And is the Civ6 Cavalry Civilopedia correct?

AFAIK that was the last one.

I'm pretty sure there have still been 'cavalry charges' in some the conflicts in Saharan Africa, like with the Jajaweed in Darfur or the civil war in Mali, though I couldn't point to any sources as those conflicts are poorly covered at the best of times.

did them Americans charge firing from the saddle ? Now that they would have no place to carry lances and sabres with their military grade laptops and satellite phones and all that .

ı don't think even the El Salvadoran "charge" in 1969 was a charge , but a mounted advance and all that .

That was my understanding from a youtube

With global warming I'm sure there will be more.
