Reaction Paper
FUNDAMENTALS OF INFANTRY
The infantry squad is the smallest unit of elements that face-to-
face meets the enemy, and is structured and trained to fight quickly
and lethally. Their mission is to shut down the enemy through fire and
maneuver. I have learned not only about the members but also their
intent, and their aim is to engage with the enemy, about the rifle

m
er as
squad and its members. I have also heard of a battalion made up of

co
eH w
several soldiers. As for the founders, we have the chief of the squad

o.
who is in control of everything that the rifle squad does or falls to do.

He is a pioneer in strategy and, as such, leads by example. The team
leader, who is the squad eyes and ear of the team, ensures that his
o

soldiers uphold the unit standards in all fields. The soldier, the
aC s

automatic rifleman, is responsible for supplying the squad with

vi y re

sustained automatic fire. The grenadier, for full fire power, provides
the squad and the platoon with explosive capability. The rifleman is
ed d

responsible for the team's food distribution and medical

ar stu

requirements. This video gave me an appreciation of an infantry's

duties, their positions, and the various words of their names.
