What is Armored Division Infantry and Mechanized Infantry?
Hello Brandy, Well, basically the combat soldier will be in MOS 11B, Infantryman or MOS 11C, Indirect Fire Infrantryman. Armored and Mechanized is a matter of equipment usage. In Mechanized: Mechanized infantry (or “mech infantry”) are infantry equipped with armoured personnel carriers (APCs), or infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) for transport and combat (see also mechanized force). Mechanized infantry are distinguished from motorized infantry, who are transported to battle by trucks or motor vehicles, in that their vehicles provide a degree of protection from hostile fire, as opposed to “soft-skinned” wheeled vehicles (trucks or jeeps). Most APCs and IFVs are fully tracked, or are all-wheel drive vehicles (6×6 or 8×8), for mobility across rough ground. The support weapons for mechanized infantry are also provided with motorized transport, or are built directly into combat vehicles, in order to keep pace with the mechanized infantry in combat. For units equipped with most types of APC
