Infantry
Infantry is the branch of an army who fight on foot — soldiers specifically trained to engage, fight, and defeat the enemy in face-to-face combat; infantrymen thus bear the brunt of warfare, and suffer the greatest number of casualties. Historically, as the oldest branch of the combat arms, the infantry are the backbone of a modern army, and continually undergo training that is more stressful and demanding than that of any other branch of the combat arms, or of the army. The infantry’s greater emphasis upon discipline, physical fitness, and psychological strength develop reflexive skills that allow the spontaneous deployment of sustained aggression and violence, which make a weapon-system of the infantryman, whether armed or unarmed. Infantrymen are distinguished from soldiers trained to fight on horseback, from tanks, and as technicians, by their greatly developed combat skills, such as movement techniques, firearms proficiency, and field craft. Infantry can enter and manœver in terrain that is inaccessible to military vehicles and to battle tanks, and employ infantry support weapons that provide sustained firepower, in the absence of artillery. The transport and delivery of infantrymen to battle include marching and mechanised, airborne, air assault, and amphibious techniques.
