	PLA Infantry - SinoDefence.com
		The infantry troops are currently composed of mountain (light) infantry, motorised (truck mobile) infantry, and mechanised infantry (also referred to as armoured infantry).
		By the late 1980s, most infantry units in the PLA were motorised infantry using truck and other motor vehicles for transportation, and many units have been upgraded to mechanised infantry using armoured personnel carriers (APCs) or infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) for transportation.
		Infantry is the most versatile element of the ground forces, capable of a wide variety of missions including attack, defence, patrol, pursuit, escort, security, etc. The infantry troops are equipped with small arms, light artillery, protective and survival gear, communication equipments, tools, and food.

		They are often supported by Mechanised Infantry platoons and Recon squadrons when fielded as a full company, but occasionally they are dispersed amongst Infantry Regiments and Mechanised Regiments to provide armoured support.
		The Kathei 1st Infantry Regiment was part of those reinforcements, and the 12th Kathei Infantry Company is assigned to the Newgate Cathedral Parish (a district of six cities on the main southern continent) where they coordinate their efforts with the local Barons.
		Ordnance or field guns of any kind, and missiles especially (including simple infantry fire support) are similarly frowned upon as slightly dishonourable but are still sometimes used (also physical projectiles tend to be less accurate over long range due to the high wind, and the moving parts tend to rust in the rain).

	NATO Military Map Symbols
		For certain arms of service, the particular term for the size of unit differs from that used in the infantry, such as armoured or cavalry units, where a platoon-sized unit is often referred to as a troop and a company-sized unit is often referred to as a squadron.
		Both the brigade and regiment can be used to form a division, for example, through much of the Cold War, countries within the NATO Alliance tended to use brigades as sub-components of their divisions, whereas members of the Warsaw Pact tended to use regiments.
		For example, mechanised infantry is represented by a combination of the infantry and armour symbols, whereas parachute infantry often have the infantry symbol with an additional 'bird' symbol underneath.
