− As old as war itself, '''Infantry''' are the foot soldiers of any military force. Underestimated and underappreciated in the eyes of their so-called betters, many a campaign is often won or lost due to the actions of the "poor bloody infantry" while [[BattleMech]] and [[aerospace fighter]] pilots win the glory. Their training, equipment, battlefield role and organization can vary wildly, allowing them to fulfill a number of disparate goals.

The advent of [[battle armor]] has also seen a renewed interest in the use of infantry. Though superior in many ways to their unarmored brethren, their sheer expense and unsuitability for a number of roles sees the continued use of "conventional" infantry.<ref name="TMp275"/> The advent of [[battle armor]] has also seen a renewed interest in the use of infantry.
