	SoldierTech: Infantry 1, Tank 0
		Since infantry were incapable of carrying effective AT guns by themselves, there was a need for a weapon light enough to be man-portable, yet powerful enough to destroy a tank.
		Where the armor penetrating capabilities of a kinetic energy round fell off over distance (as the projectile bled off energy), the HEAT rounds were just as effective at their maximum range as they were at point blank range.
		This was not a risk that armor could mitigate; out-ranged and outgunned (you could not hang enough steel on a tank to prevent SC burn-through), the introduction of the ATGM all but signaled the extinction of the tank.

		Command armor is as fast as scout armor, as tough as a grunt, with top of the line communications and electronics equipment, including large-scale tactical display.
		Scout armor is lighter and faster, and has better sensors.
		It is physically weaker, and carries less armor and fewer weapons.

	USS Clueless - The end of the tank?
		Life began to be perilous for armored knights when archers began to use armor-piercing arrows, but even as late as the 30 Years War, knights were still the dominant force on the battlefield.
		By the time of the Napoleonic wars, armor on heavy cavalry had been reduced to the cuirass, a metal shell around the upper trunk of the cavalryman intended primarily to defend him against the lance and bayonet.
		The basic idea was to use combined air/artillery/infantry assault to break a hole in the enemy line and then throw concentrated formations of armor through the hole to move into the enemy's rear and exploit the breakthrough.

		Since they use cannons, they are dangerously weak against infantry; a grenadier one on one with a gun turret is somewhat even, which is rather weak for a defensive installation.
		Armored units, because they are low to the ground, airtight, made of metal, and very heavily protected, are much less vulnerable to radiation/heat effects.
		Their bite is great against infantry, and they can squish all the soft targets (including walls and sandbags), but they aren't that good against heavy tank armor.

	25th Infantry Division and US Army, Hawaii - Mission
		Concept of employment: The 25th Infantry Division is organized to deploy anywhere in the world to conduct missions across the spectrum of warfare.
		They are experts at skilled reconnaissance, resourceful planning, and violent execution; they demand the highest level of performance and discipline from their subordinates; and they are confident in their ability to delegate the highest levels of independence and freedom of action to subordinates.
		Light Infantry soldiers in turn have the initiative and training to utilize this freedom of action and have confidence in their leaders, their equipment, their fellow soldiers, and most importantly, in themselves.

	Board games, Card games, Online games \| Days of Wonder: Memoir '44 - English => Infantry VS Armour is it really that ...
		Infantry is hit on 5o% of the die side(more if they are cut off) and armor can sit back and soften them up with three dice at range before moving in, making the breakthrough more likely, which means a follow up attack on another unit,or them (approved by the run-on sentance committee).
		Well-trained and tenacious infantry was (and is still) capable of taking on enemy armor formations, as long as the infantrymen used tactics and terrain to their advantage.
		Infantry were very much capable of taking on tanks without support, as the Battle for Arnhem and Pegasus Bridge both demonstrate admirably.

	Notes on the Mobile Infantry and Power Armor of OGRE and GEV
		Armor was generally very rigorously tested by its manufacturers, indeed, the 'proof' of the defensive capacity of some later designs of plate armor was a large dent found in all new plate armor suits.
		Armored infantry carriers appeared with the first APCs and IFVs, allowing many individual infantrymen to move and fight, but they suffered the same disadvantages as a tank did; big, slow, and too costly to fall to a cheap one shot anti-tank style weapon.
		Armored screened intakes over the back of the suit sucked in ambient air, and used part of the plasma heat exchanger to super heat this air into overthrust usable by the battledress though dumping the superheated air into the mixture generated a massive thermal spike readily visible on tactical target acquisition sensors.

	Infantry Strategy for Axis & Allies
		Of all the units in Axis and Allies, infantry are second to last in the glamour department (last place goes to the workhorses of the sea, the transports).
		If the attacker loses more than two infantry units in the assault and in fighting off the counterattack, then he'd better hang onto the Caucasus for more than one turn, or the exchange is a net loss in terms of IPCs.
		To reliably win the battle and have enough surviving infantry to protect the armor against counterattack requires an assault force of at least 10 infantry and four or five tanks -- a minimum of 55 IPCs in the attack, almost two-to-one against the defenders.

		As the only infantry unit with the hover speed mode, it is exceptionally mobile and able to easily break away from opposing units.
		Cavalier armor is a terrific choice as a general infantry unit for any battleforce.
		Given the fact that it is an infantry unit, expect your opponent to ignore your Hauberks, giving you a surprise shot from up to 14 inches away when he's not expecting it.

		Quote: "The balance between armor, infantry, artillery, and aircraft that was present in the first game is largely the same in the second.
		Infantry will still be slaughtered if they make an unsupported attack against armor or entrenched infantry.
		But on the defensive, infantry can hold their own against light armor and sometimes even score a lucky knockout hit on a medium or heavy tank, if it gets too close.

		The regulations define collocation as occurring when a position or unit ''routinely physically locates and remains with a military unit assigned a doctrinal mission to routinely engage in direct combat." Women are barred from such roles.
		At issue are what are called forward support companies, which supply maintenance, food service, and other services to infantry, armor, and special forces units.
		The Third Infantry Division, most of which has arrived in Iraq, is the first of several Army divisions set to use a new design that military documents show for the first time has female support soldiers attached to the maneuver battalions.

		On February 1 1963, the 3rd Brigade was reactivated and reassigned to the 2nd Infantry Division at Fort Benning, Georgia.
		As a result, the 2nd Infantry Division's 3rd Brigade was withdrawn from Korea in 1992 and deactivated.

	The Real Reasons Women Aren't In The Infantry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Infantry combat is intensely physical, involving carrying heavy loads quickly, often under fire.
		Armor and artillery jobs also involve the “muscle issue.” Many operational and maintenance tasks in armor and artillery units involve a lot of physical strength.
		The main source of female troops eager to serve in the infantry are career female officers who know that the highest ranks in the army are only open to officers who have served in combat units.

		You would think that not only that single infantry is prone to being destroyed (and therefore a sure score for your opponent), it should also be "weaker" when attacking.
		Yes yes I understand that Mik, but I can't help but feel that it is unfair/unreasonable that the "attack value" or "firepower" of one infantry in a unit (representing one soldier or a hundred) is EXACTLY THE SAME as a 4 infantry or armror unit (ok ok, 4 soldiers or 400).
		Plus the attacker will be more willing to protect this single infantry unit, not only because it will be easier to kill and will give the defender a score, but because it is a weaker unit when attacking.

		Under this model, trucks in logistical units can afford to do without armor, and their drivers can make do with just an M-16 rifle; there's no need for Kevlar door panels or.50-caliber machine guns because the enemy is taken care of by combat units at the front.
		Every vehicle must have sufficient armor to protect its crew; every convoy must have the right mix of light and heavy weapons to protect itself; every unit must be equipped with night-vision goggles and global positioning systems; every soldier must have the skills and training to fight as an infantryman.
		I served in the 4th Infantry Division during its Force XXI redesign, and I led mixed-gender platoons of combat support MPs in Korea with the 2nd Infantry Division and Fort Hood with the 4th Infantry Division.

		September 4, 2005: The U.S. Army is starting to distribute the new ACH (Advanced Combat Helmet) head gear on a wide scale, and expects the ACH to have replaced all the current PASGT helmets by the end of the decade.
		The extra weight of this additional armor is not a problem for the troops manning weapons, or driving the vehicles.
		The only problem with the new armor, aside from up to eight pounds of additional weight (depending on how many of the small plates are used), is that it cannot be manufactured quickly enough to replace the hundreds of thousands of older type vests already in use.

		For assault infantry, i look with more attention and believe in my last answer : you need to have no infantry on all the board to activate one unit of your choice.
		However, "Infantry Assault" allows you to pick a section, therefore it is only unplayable if you have no infantry units anywhere on the board at all, just as the card says.
		If you have infantry units on the board, regardless of the section they are in, the card can only be used to activate those infantry units.

		Still, they are not allowed into positions where they are most likely to see ground combat — infantry, armor, artillery and Special Forces units.
		As women flowed into the civilian work force and overcame other limits through the generations, the arguments for holding them back in the armed forces have largely endured: They are physically weaker, they might ruin the cohesion of an all-male unit, Americans just could not bear to see women killed.
		They can serve in infantry, armor, artillery and other units at the brigade level and higher; these units are behind combat battalions on the battlefield.
