Mechanised infantry

Infantry mounted in APCs, integrated with vehicle crews. Vehicles support and operate alongside dismounted troops.

Advantages:

• Increased survivability for infantry
• Organic heavy weapons (HMGs, GMGs)
• Good mobility across varied terrain
• Organic resupply capability

Disadvantages:

• Vulnerable to AT weapons
• Risk of mass casualties if vehicle destroyed
• Detectable and targetable by heavy assets

Best Employment:

• Combined arms operations with MBT support
• Crossing open terrain under protection
• COIN or conventional environments with moderate AT threat
