Infantry Soldiers train to a standard where most would see goals; they see the baseline. Across training areas worldwide, 11Bs push through high tempo, stress loaded scenarios that mirror the chaos of combat. From maneuvering with emerging technologies to reacting to contact under pressure, every repetition demands communication, adaptability and grit.
The Infantry is where the fight begins.
An Infantryman closes with and destroys the enemy, seizes and holds key terrain and leads the way for major ground operations. They move first, stand fast and carry the weight of the mission on their shoulders.
Infantrymen master battle drills, small unit tactics, weapons systems and the physical and mental toughness required to operate in any environment. Their discipline, teamwork and lethality form the backbone of the Army’s combat power.
Every bound, breach and battle drill builds the confidence and readiness that keep squads alive and missions successful. This is where warriors are forged, where teamwork becomes instinct and where the Army’s decisive edge is sharpened.
