The U.S. Army Has A "New" Tool in Its Arsenal: Horses

The Army manual contains some amusing gems juxtaposing exotic beasts with the rigorous blandness of the Pentagon’s bureaucratic lens. According to The War Zone, there’s a whole chapter on “llamas and other animals,” which seems nonsensical, as llamas are dicks. And according to the Army, fuck elephants, too. “Elephants are not the easy going, kind, loving creates that people believe them to be,” the manual cautions. “They are, of course, not evil either.” Maybe Abraham Lincoln was onto something when he turned down “a supply of war elephants” offered by the King of Siam during the Civil War in 1862.
For now, horses will have to do when terrain doesn’t lend itself to the brand new JLTVs that both the Air Force Special Tactics and SOCOM are reportedly eyeing. But despite the glory of Task Force Dagger’s mounted incursion into northern Afghanistan, don’t expect to see Green Berets galloping after ISIS fighters, guns blazing, anytime soon. If the Army manual is any guidance, pack animals will remain strictly logistical assets for now: “Fighting from horseback is not considered a primary function of mounted soldiers today.”
