Cavalry in the Macedonian army of the times of Philip II and Alexander the Great played a huge role on the battlefield. She very often stood on the wings of her own formation, the center of which was made up of soldiers of the Macedonian phalanx (Greek: sarissoforoi). Very often she was responsible for the execution of the flanking maneuver, which resulted in the victory of the battle by Philip II or his son. The Macedonian cavalry included the so-called royal companions (Greek: hetairs), who often grew up and received education together with Alexander the Great. The morale of this unit was at a very high level, as was individual training and discipline. The Hetajras used spears on the battlefield, and carried swords as a side weapon. Their body was always covered with the so-called athlete's armor or cloth armor. Most often they wore Beotian helmets, which provided them with a good overview of the situation on the battlefield. The quality of Macedonian cavalry is evidenced by its achievements, for example, in the battle of Cheronea (338 BC) or - especially - of Granik (334 BC) and Gaugamela (331 BC).

The Macedonian phalanx was a specific development of the Greek phalanx and appeared on the battlefields of Hellas in the 4th century BC thanks to the king of Macedonia - Philip II, father of Alexander the Great. The ruler decided to equip the soldiers of his phalanx with long spears (Greek: sarisa), the length of which might have been up to 5-6 meters. As such a long weapon of the wheel had to be held with both hands, it also reduced the size of the shield, which began to be slung over the neck or over the shoulder. Other defensive armaments - especially soldiers standing further in the phalanx - were also reduced. At the same time, great emphasis was placed on the best possible training of phalanx soldiers and their high morale, which elements made it possible to fight even a much larger opponent. It is assumed that the basic unit in the field was a dungeon consisting of 16 soldiers, and 16 dungeons constituted one syntagma (thus consisting of 256 soldiers). The quality of the Macedonian phalanx is evidenced by its achievements, for example, in the battle of Cheronea (338 BC) or Gaugamela (331 BC).
