维基的这个站现在有不少兵种的解释。

有一段关于 Voltigeurs来源的注释：
Voltigeurs (literally, Vaulters or Leapers) were élite light infantry of the line regiments. In 1805, Napoleon ordered that the smallest, most agile men of the line battalions be chosen to form a Voltigeur company. These troops were to be second only to the Grenadiers in the battalion hierarchy. Their name comes from their original mission. Voltigeurs were to combat enemy cavalry by vaulting up onto the enemy's horses, a fanciful idea which failed to succeed in combat. Despite this, the Voltigeurs did perform a valuable task, skirmishing and providing scouts for each battalion, as well as providing an organic light infantry component for each line regiment. In Voltigeur training, emphasis was placed on marksmanship and quick movement.
原意是“跳跃者”，即试图跳跃到敌人骑兵的马上。这个在电影里常见，实际作战并不成功，但以后轻步兵继承了这个名字。常用执行散兵，侦察等任务，翻成“尖兵”我觉得很合适。 |
