		The 25th Mechanised Infantry, the youngest battalion of the Mechanised Infantry received colours from Chief of the Army, General J J Singh on December 08, 2005.
		Mechanised Infantry was introduced between World War I and World War II, when French and later German Infantry were first provided with trucks or custom-built half tracked and motorised transport for their support units, resulting in highly mobile formations that could keep pace with the armoured formations.
		A Mechanised Infantry soldier is braving all odds of terrain, weather and enemy action from the coldest regions of Leh to the smouldering sands of Rajasthan.

	Mechanized infantry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		They are distinguished from motorized infantry in that their vehicles provide a degree of protection from hostile fire, as opposed to "soft-skinned" trucks or jeeps.
		Motorised Infantry could maintain rapid movement, but their trucks required either a good road network, or firm open terrain (such as desert).
		Recently the United States Army has fielded both armored divisions and "heavy" infantry divisions; the organization of the two types was almost identical, except that the ratio of armored battalions to mechanized infantry battalions is slightly higher in the armored divisions and slightly lower in the heavy infantry divisions.

		The dominance of cavalry was not threatened until the Hundred Years War, where the development of the longbow saw French knights heavily defeated by well-disciplined infantry, archers, and dismounted cavalry at the battles of Crecy, Poitiers and Agincourt.
		In the 1890s and later, some countries used bicycle infantry, but the real revolution in mobility started in the 1920s with the use of motor vehicles, resulting in motorised infantry.
		Modern-day infantry is supported by armoured fighting vehicles, artillery, and aircraft, but are still the only kind of military force that can take and hold ground, and thus remain essential to fighting wars.

	Motorised infantry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Motorised infantry is infantry which is transported by trucks or other motor vehicles.
		It is distinguished from mechanized infantry, which is carried in armoured half-tracks or armoured personnel carriers.
		There is also a trend for motorised infantry to be up-armoured due to the experience of the post-invasion of Iraq.

		In opinion of commander of 13th Motorised Infantry Division General Paul Otto Polish forces become so demoralized that he could send only one battalion who had only to disarm soldiers and send them to prisoners of war camps.
		He decided that 33rd Motorised Infantry Regiment supported with a part of division artillery would attack on Annopol, Pieñki and Talczyn.
		Because 13th Motorised Infantry Division didn't get success commander of XIV Corp. was forced to use 29th Motorised Infantry Division.

	Use of Arms in an Armoured Division (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		In either role the tanks were helped but the units from the Support group (until Motorised Infantry were a permanent feature of an armoured brigade) with motorised infantry assigned for close support, field artillery support and anti-tank guns to help protect their flank.
		A lorried infantry brigade was not used in the same way as a normal infantry brigade and were taken out of the line if the armoured brigade were in access elsewhere as they were not considered strong enough to hold anything.
		These Motorised Infantry battalions differed greatly from the regular infantry units as they were designed to be more mobile, having a great number of Bren gun carriers in the scout platoons and were trained to fight alone side the tanks.

		I consider mechanised infantry to be using trucks and APC's (vehicles which arn't supposed to engage the enemy), and armoured infantry as using IFV's (armoured vehicles designed to engage the enemy).
		Our light infantry, when it comes to tasks such as patrolling are as good as as, if not better than the SF of many other armies.
		When I was in Logistics before seeing the light and joining the infantry we went up against the para's in an infantry skills competition and thrashed them in the march and shoot - their bread and butter.

		CENTCOM assessed the Corps' 7th, 8th, 14th, 18th, and 29th Infantry divisions, in the I MEF and JFC-E zones, as combat ineffective.
		On the eastern side of III Corps, the 18th and 8th Infantry divisions, in front of Joint Forces Command East [JFC-E], were assessed as combat ineffective, although they offered stiff resistance against JFC-E forces near Mina As-Sa'ud.

	Combat HQ - Articles
		Motorised rifle sub-units usually allowed the attacking tanks to pass right through their positions so as to cut off and destroy the infantry advancing behind them.
		Operating in close co-operation with the infantry, NPP tanks provided the means of manoeuvre that successfully turned the German flanks, and forced them to withdraw from important lines of defence.
		In the offensive, tanks would often move too far ahead of the infantry and artillery, and they would be forced to return to them (sometimes several times during a day), thereby suffering unnecessary losses.

	Blitzkrieg
		First aircraft were used as long-range artillery to destroy enemy strongholds, attack troop concentrations, and spread panic[?].
		Then combined arms forces of tanks and motorised infantry coordinated by two-way radio[?] destroyed tactical targets before moving on, deep into enemy territory.
		By the late 1930s they had re-organized their Army to include a number of elite Panzergruppen[?], divisions consisting almost entirely of tanks, infantry in half-track Armored personal carriers and trucks to supply them.

	Armored Combat Vehicle [ACV]
		Armored infantry fighting vehicles serve as the principal weapon system of armored infantry or mechanised infantry or motorised infantry formations and units of ground forces.
		The ACAV conclusively proved the usefulness of mounted combat by the infantry, but it was also apparent that the exposed crew would be vulnerable to the nuclear, biological, or chemical (NBC) hazards in a war against the Warsaw Pact.
		It is a dictum of modern war that armor and infantry be employed as a team in battle.

		The current Davion and Kurita infantry packs work fine for time being, However being able to buy a pack of motorised and jump infantry would be a good idea.
		The jump on the other hand would be like the current infantry but with visible jump packs and the men in a kind of 'lift off' pose.

	The Hungarian Cavalry Division (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Besides the cavalry, the division had a tank battalion, motorised and bicycle formations as well as 10 artillery batteries of which none however was equipped with heavy, long range weapons.
		After a fortnight, the cavalry division had ended up fighting as infantry due to exhaustion of the horses and with virtually no armour left (On July 15th the division was left with 6 armoured cars).
		In August 1944 the depleted division was withdrawn from the front and sent to reequip in Poland near Warsaw.

	World-Wide Land Combat Systems
		Small-to-medium infantry forces have marginal integration capability (ability to conduct tactical-level combat actions with limited fire support) or basic integration capability (ability to conduct battalion-level tactical combined arms actions).
		Armoured personnel carriers are armoured combat vehicles which are designed and equipped to transport a combat infantry squad and which, as a rule, are armed with an integral or organic weapon of less then 20 millimetres calibre.
		Armoured infantry fighting vehicles serve as the principal weapon system of armoured infantry or mechanised infantry or motorised infantry formations and units of ground forces.

		However, the infantry will dismount 500-1,000m from the enemy if the enemy is unsuppressed, well entrenched, strong in anti-tank weapons, or in terrain unsuitable for vehicles.
		Mounted infantry assault: BMP equipped infantry are expected to to stay mounted in combat, and to fight from their vehicle.
		Similarly if APC equipped infantry are facing suppressed enemy the regimental commander has the option to keep the riflemen mounted throughout the attack.

		To support these, there are 6 motorised infantry divisions (2, or in the case of the SS Das Reich division, 3 regiments) and a couple of independent panzer grenadier regiments.
		An average division of infantry has, approximately, between 2 and 5 attack strength points and 4 to 5 points in defence, with some 0-0-6's and 0-1-6's thrown in for good luck.
		After a couple more infantry corps have arrived a pincer movement should be attempted against enemy divisions between the Dnepr and Sozh rivers, crossing the Sozh river with strong mechanised units between the towns of Mstislavl (hex 1524) and Krichev (hex 1427), then swooping down on the enemy from behind.

		It was the infantry which would establish bridgeheads at rivers, etc., on which the Panzers depended, and it was the infantry that attacked cities as to prevent great Panzer losses.
		Panzer division and motorised infantry were sent in from the south towards Holland and Belgium, and several Panzer and infantry divisions were sent in from the north.
		The principal strength of the army lay in its thirty infantry divisions, adequately equipped with field and anti-tank artillery and numerous anti-tank rifles, and in its eleven mounted cavalry brigades.

	1939 Polish-Soviet War
		When the infantry was unable to keep pace, only the cavalry was thus left, but dispersed along the front, and in some cases even without heavy weaponry (see below), the task was unsolvable.
		The resistance against motorising the cavalry had been strong all the time, but it came to a peak now: When the 1st Mounted Rifle Regiment was motorised, its first two commanders refused to command a non-horsed unit, both staying only a month each.
		When the problem was finally solved by putting in a man from the infantry as commander, he requested that the cavalry and horse equipment stay in the regiment.

		The company support platoons had a machine-gun squad and a 60mm mortar squad on paper, but this was often reduced to a single MG and 60mm mortar with large stocks of ammunition (due to personnel shortages).
		Throughout the war, the main problem for infantry battalions was one of manpower shortages.
		The infantry company in half-tracks was too heavy and slow to keep up with the tanks, but with the extra firepower provided by the vehicle-mounted MGs they were well suited for road security and escort duties.
