Dragoons are used ONLY by the Poles, and it's a mixture between cavalry and infantry.
It means that they move on horses and can attack the enemy from the horseback, but their primary objective is to fight as an infantry on the battlefield, or during sieges.
So today we would call the "motorized infantry" ;)
They wear polish style of kalpaks on their heads, usually brown, and short jackets.
Most of them don't use protective armor, tho, I'd like officers to wear a cuirass, a chest plate ( just like officer of the Reiters do ), and bracers on their forearms, simply to tell them apart from simple soldiers.
As for their weapons...
Primary - sabres and muskets or cavalry carbines..
Secondary - long pistols, two different kinds of warhammers - horseman's picks and horseman's axe.
There's a bunch of Dragoons among our heroes, particularly JANSON TWINS, being archetypical members of this formation.
Dragoons of the Polish Royal Guard will also take an important part LATER in the story.
Members of the guard will wear red jackets.
Also, our main hero - KIZERO - looks somewhat like a Dragoon. He wears the same kind of uniform, but also uses bracers for his forearms and a gorget/bevor. His weapons are also different.
