The 1st Cavalry Group (Portuguese: Grupo de Cavalaria n.º 1), until 1968 the Reconnaissance Group of Angola (Grupo de Reconhecimento de Angola), and commonly known as the Dragoons of Angola (Dragões de Angola), was a special cavalry unit of the Portuguese Army, that operated in the Angolan War of Independence against the communist guerrillas. The unit started to be raised in 1966 and was disbanded in 1975 due to the events of the Carnation Revolution in Lisbon, the end of the Portuguese Colonial War and the independence of Angola. In military history, it was probably one of the last units of real dragoons (mounted infantry) to be used in combat operations, excluding the Rhodesian Grey's Scouts.

  • Os Dragões de Angola constituiram as tropas a cavalo que o Exército Português empenhou na Guerra do Ultramar em Angola, no final da década de 1960 e início da de 1970. Historicamente, constituiram provavelmente as últimas tropas de genuínos dragões (infantaria a cavalo) a serem empregues em operações de combate. (pt)
