Corps de Chasseurs

I've been reading some Civil War books recently, and a common topic is McClellan's lack of a Corps de Chasseurs. I understand this is a mobile force to follow through with breakthroughs, like Murat's cavalry or the Guard Cavalry. But in AACW terms, what would this consist of? Would it just be a cavalry corps? Or would it be a mix of cavalry, light infantry, etc.?

Thanks in advance

I would imagine Cav and light Infantry.

In game terms it's cavalry, ie they do extra damage vs retreating forces.
