Infantryman (11X)

The infantry is the main land combat force and backbone of the Army. It's equally important in peacetime and in combat. The Infantryman's role is to be ready to defend our country in peacetime and to capture, destroy and repel enemy ground forces during combat. Infantry is the starting point for many advanced schools such as: * Special Forces * Airborne School * Ranger School * Sniper School * Pathfinder School TRAINING Infantry enlistees attend Infantry OSUT (One Station Unit Training), which combines Army Basic Training and Infantry AIT (Advanced Individual Training), all in one 13-week course. The training takes place primarily in the field, with some classroom training. The reality is, though, that infantry training never really stops. Whether taking part in squad maneuvers, target practice or war games, Infantrymen are constantly working to keep their skills sharp and are in a constant state of preparedness. During that training, Infantry enlistees are allowed to list their specific infantry job preferences, but ultimate assignments are determined by the needs of the Army. Upon graduation from OSUT, Infantry enlistees are assigned to one of the following Infantry specialties: * Infantryman (11B) * Indirect Fire Infantryman (11C)
