 '''Skirmishers''' were a catch all name for light soldiers who fought outside of big formations. As a rule they were lightly armored (if armored at all), had ranged weapons and focused on mobility and maneuverability. If faced with major resistance, they would retreat. Standard skirmisher tactics include scouting, killing enemy scouts, raiding enemy camps and supply lines, widdling away at big enemy formations to weaken them against their big formations and preventing the enemy from doing the same.
-Both cavalry and infantry could be skirmishers. As they were cheaper to equip and were seen as cowardly by the guys who marched in big formations head on into enemy formations, skirmishers were often pretty low on the pecking order of premodern armies and were often drawn from the poorer classes.

As the centuries progressed though this attitude usually changed, with skirmishing units usually being seen as more skilled and more intelligent. By the time the world wars came around advances in technology and warfare meant that basically every soldier was now light infantry and skirmishes were something that could just pop up on patrol. In its modern use light infantry does not designate the equipment an individual soldier has but the amount of heavy assets such as armored vehicles its unit has access to.
