What is an infantryman?

Infantrymen are soldiers who serve as the main land combat force and backbone of the Army. They are trained to engage in ground combat, often operating on foot or with armored vehicles, and are responsible for capturing, holding, and defending terrain. Infantrymen perform a wide range of tasks, including patrolling, securing areas, and engaging enemy forces in direct combat. Their role is physically demanding and requires a high level of discipline, teamwork, and resilience. Training for infantrymen covers weapons handling, tactics, survival skills, and first aid.
