"Let us be clear about three facts: First, all battles and all wars are
won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman
always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers
greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms.
Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder
to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm.” Field

they can be inserted into the battlefield
from the pers
air, thereb y allowing them to be positioned in
areas not accessible by land. It is one of the three
types of "forced entry" strategic techniques for special ru les
entering a theater of war; the other two are by deep strike
land and sea. This ability to enter the battle from
different locations allows paratroopers to evade Fleet of B oot
fortifications that are in place to prevent attack H it and run
from a specific direction, and the possible use of
paratroopers forces an arm y to spread their
defenses to protect other areas which would
normally be safe by virtue of the geography.
Another common use for paratroopers is to
establish an airhead for landing other units.
Paratroopers often lunch attacks deep behind ork
lines to slow the ork attacks they also assisted
assaults that need support. Because Paratroopers
must travel light due to dropping out of a plane,
they are a type of light Infantry
 Helicopters
An attack helicopter is a military helicopter
specifically designed and built to carry weapons
for attacking targets on the ground, such as
enem y infantry, armored vehicles and structures.
Weapons used on attack helicopters can include
autocannons, machine-guns, rockets, and guided
missiles such as the H ellfire. M any attack name type FA SA RA Bs
helicopters are also capable of carrying air to Helicopter

defense. Today's attack helicopter has two main
roles: first, to provide direct and accurate close specia l ru les

to supplement lighter helicopters in the armed
scout role.
 Light tank
Light tanks, such as the

an important role in tank warfare. Although many

Advances in tank design, armor, and engine

technology allowed tank designers to increase
the capabilities of tanks significantly without
always resorting to heavier designs, although
weights did gradually increase. High explosive
anti-tank (HEAT) ammunition was a threat to
tanks and could penetrate steel amour thicker
than was practical to put on a tank. Advances
such as the British-designed Chobham armour
limit the effectiveness of weaker HEAT rounds,
but the vulnerability still remained.

mobility and the ability to engage targets in the

from the protection of a trench or defilade. In
these aspects the mortar is an excellent infantry
support weapon, as it can be transported over any
terrain and is not burdened by the logistical
support needed for artillery.
A mortar can be carried by one or more men

components), or transported in a vehicle. An
infantry mortar can usually also be mounted and
fired from a mortar-carrier; a purpose-built or
modified armoured vehicle with a large roof
