Infantry



Infantry is the branch of a military force that fights on foot. Troops intended to engage, fight, and defeat the enemy in face-to-face combat, thus bear the brunt of and suffering the greatest number of casualties. Historically, as the oldest branch of the combat arms, the infantry are the tip of the spear of a modern army, and continually undergo training that is more physically stressful and psychologically demanding than that of any other branch of the military, emphasizing teamwork in the deployment of spontaneous, sustained aggression.

Infantry can enter and maneuver in terrain that is inaccessible to military vehicles and employ crew-served infantry support weapons that provide greater and more sustained firepower. The transport and delivery techniques of modern infantrymen to engage in battle include marching, mechanized transport, air/space borne (by flier, MBS, Arti grav, etc.) and amphibious landing from a sea.
