		Pallets of artillery munitions are common on the battlefield, often left behind by advancing or retreating units.
		Infantrymen setting up defensive positions would love to set artillery rounds in front of their positions.
		Infantrymen would become less dependent on artillerymen to deliver accurate fires when needed once grunts could fire their own artillery rounds.

		From the dusty, sunburned veterans of firefights with al-Qaida in Afghanistan to the parka-swathed GIs on guard along Korea's frozen DMZ, infantrymen already have borne a heroically heavy burden.
		For instance, just the overrun this year on the Air Force's new F-22 fighter program, $690 million, is enough to outfit about 87,000 infantrymen with brand-new stuff including boots, desert camouflage fatigues, helmets, flak vests, weapons, ammo, night vision goggles, chem-bio protective suits and a day's worth of MRE rations.
		During the Korean and Vietnam wars, infantrymen accounted for 80 percent of American battle dead, even though they comprised only about 4 percent of military personnel in the war theater, Army data show.

	Combat Infantryman Badge
		Infantrymen must have the skill and the will-not to just participate in the close fight, but to dominate it.
		Very few Infantrymen, at the time, were happy with being in the Infantry or with their current assignments.
		One of LTG McNair's proposals called for a "fighter badge" that could be awarded to Infantrymen who could meet certain standards which were to be developed by Marshall's headquarters.

	Let's salute the bold and the brave
		The infantrymen of the Indian Army recently demonstrated their indomitable spirit in Operation Vijay at Kargil.
		The infantrymen have been at the service of the nation whether in troubled times when India had to counter insurgency in Jammu and Kashmir and Assam or during natural calamities like the Latur earthquake.
		While the nation rests in the relative security of their homes, the infantrymen, in peace time too, have to contend with separation from their loved ones as they stand guard on tense frontiers.

	The Go For Broke Educational Foundation >> History >> Historical Information >> Veterans
		From October 27-30, two platoons of engineers accompanied front-line infantrymen during the rescue of the “Lost Battalion.” For four days the engineers endured enemy fire and the cold wet weather, but managed to clear more than 30 mines in the path of the advancing infantry.
		The engineer’s “weapons” were bulldozers, saws, and minesweepers, while the infantrymen wielded rifles, machine guns, and bazookas.
		Although combat was not their primary function, the engineers still faced enemy sniper, mortar and artillery fire, and the constant danger of booby traps and mines.

	Combat Infantryman Badge
		All these factors led to the establishment of the CIB, an award which would provide special recognition of the unique role of the Army infantryman, the only soldier whose daily mission is to close with and destroy the enemy and to seize and hold terrain.
		In the case of infantrymen killed by enemy action, the requirement for at least 5 engagements ((3) above) and the requirement for the incident to have taken place in the hostile fire area, including the 60-day requirement ((1) above), will be waived.
		In the case of individuals wounded, even though outside the hostile fire area, the 5 engagements requirement and the 60 day requirement may be waived when it can be clearly established that the wound was a direct result of overt hostile action.

	First World War.com - Encyclopedia - Over The Top
		An idiom in wide use today to indicate excessiveness (be it exuberant or foolhardy), the phrase 'over the top' has its origins in the First World War.
		It was used, chiefly by the British, to describe the process whereby infantrymen emerged from their trenches and scrambled into No Man's Land to attack the opposing enemy trenches.
		Given the machine gun's dominance of the battlefield during the war the prospect of going over the top was invariably regarded as doom-laden by infantrymen.

	FM 3-06.11 Appendix C
		Because of the abundance of cover and concealment in urban terrain, armored vehicle gunners may not be able to easily identify enemy targets unless the commander exposes himself to fire by opening his hatch or Infantrymen directing the gunner to the target.
		Infantrymen can move over or around most urban terrain, regardless of the amount of damage to buildings.
		This ensures that the driver can see the infantrymen and that the infantrymen do not pass in front of the coax machine gun.

		Also, one of their platoons recently found out that a soldier was flat broke and could not afford to pay for the ticket home for Christmas.

	Improving Communications in Urban Warfare
		Compounding their difficulties at the lowest tactical levels, or for infantrymen moving through back alleys and buildings, is the interference caused by buildings and structures that impedes electronic communication.
		Adding intrasquad radios allows infantrymen to avoid "stacking" and bunching before entering buildings, leading to more general dispersion of forces and reduced fratricide, as well as greater coordination within and among squads, including between infantrymen and armored vehicles and tanks.
		Cellular and satellite telephones are not suited for urban combat for many reasons, including poor security, low rates of data transmission, incompatibilities with existing military communication systems, and needs for fixed infrastructure that may be vulnerable during military operations.

	Authentic Campaigner Website & Forums - Shell Jackets on (Eastern) Federal Infantrymen
		Perhaps the fact that the Pennsylvania Reserves were just coming off a couple month recuperation period in and around Washington had something to do with it.
		I also have seen a small collection of photographs of men who served in the 195th Pennsylvania - a late war regiment that mostly guarded the BandO Railroad - and a substantial number of those infantrymen are wearing shell jackets.
		There is evidence, however, that mounted service jackets were worn at least unofficially by a number of infantrymen.
