Infantry Soldier

An infantry soldier is a frontline member of the British Army, trained to engage in combat and carry out a wide range of military operations on foot. Their duties include patrolling, setting up defensive positions, engaging with enemy forces, and supporting peacekeeping missions around the world. Infantry soldiers must maintain high levels of physical fitness and discipline, work well in a team, and be prepared to face challenging and sometimes dangerous situations. Training is extensive and ongoing, covering weapons handling, tactics, and survival skills. Infantry soldiers may be deployed overseas or stationed within the UK, and there are opportunities for further training and specialisation as their career progresses.
