How was the Assyrian army organized?

Assyria had one of the most efficient armies of the time. With the help of this army, Assyria managed to achieve success in external wars.

The infantry was divided into heavy and light. The armament was uniform. Both edged weapons and bows were used. The warriors had armor and shields.

Cavalry was used. Along with the cavalry, chariots were actively used.

One of the main achievements of the Assyrian army was the creation of the so-called “engineering troops”, which were responsible for the construction of fortifications and siege weapons.
