Infantry

Back

 

  The Infantry forms the nucleus of the army's fighting strength.  Its mission: To maintain a state of readiness in preparation for combat worldwide.

    Often described as "the best lay psychiatrist in the world," the Infantry officer must savor the challenges that come from total involvement with his soldiers.  He must know his men, their problems, their needs--and get them all working together.

    First and foremost, he must be a leader.  A  real leader.

    Besides being platoon or company commanders, Infantry officer also get a taste of staff work, such as liaison officer, supply officer, etc.

    At higher levels, the command responsibility increases, and the Infantry officer is continually given the opportunity to attend courses and prepare for the next level of responsibility.

    Infantry is one of the biggest challenges the Army can offer.   Whether for one term of service or a 30-year career.
