The word “fusilier” refers to a soldier who is part of a unit that traditionally used muskets called “fusils.” Typically, fusiliers are light infantry troops, and the term can also denote specific regiments in various armies, particularly in the British Army, where it is associated with units that have a historical lineage of fusiliers. The role of fusiliers has evolved over time, but they are generally recognized for their adaptability and effectiveness in various combat situations.
