For simplicity's sake in this article, the CIWA will be referred to as the CIWA, but technically it goes by another name; the CIWA-AR. CIWA-AR stands for Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment - Alcohol, Revised. The assessment has been revised to stay current as treatment for alcohol addiction, alcoholism treatment and withdrawals have been studied over the years.
The Continental Army of the American Revolution was mainly composed of infantry, with very little artillery and cavalry. In 1774, on the eve of the Revolution, some colonies had volunteer mounted units of troop size, but these troops were as much social organizations as military commands.
During the Second World War, the Army's cavalry units operated as horse-mounted, mechanized, or dismounted forces (infantry). The last horse-mounted cavalry charge by a U.S. Cavalry unit took place on the Bataan Peninsula, in the Philippines in early 1942.
