Introduction
Easy Company, 2nd Battalion is a sub-unit of the 7th Cavalry focused on Hell Let Loose (HLL). It is administratively known as E/2-7; and this is the abbreviation used in MILPACs and Forums. It is comprised of two platoons, 1st Platoon consisting of infantry while 2nd Platoon is comprised of two infantry and two combat engineer squads. The Company was re-activated on March 18th, 2024 due to the growth and expansion of 2nd Battalion and our HLL area of operations.
| Military Occupational Specialties | Description |
| Infantry Officer (11A) | The infantry officer is responsible for leading Platoons within Easy Company. Ensuring the readiness of troopers and crewmen. Troopers that serve as an infantry officer have priority for leadership positions in operations. |
| Infantry (11B) | The Infantry are experts in individual skill and teamwork coordination.
Through larger platoon actions, whether in defense or offense, the infantry squad utilizes all member classifications to overwhelm the enemy and seize the objective. Members of the Infantry are masters in land warfare, communication, and tactical movement. In the Infantry, every member is a rifleman first and a specialist second. As a trooper, each rifleman will train extensively on marksmanship, control over their weapon systems, and team battle drills. Additionally, troopers train in coordination with other support elements to improve our combined arms operations. |
| Combat Engineer (12B) | Combat engineers, also known as sappers, are specialized soldiers who provide engineering support on the battlefield. Their primary role is to ensure the mobility, survivability, and functionality of their own forces while impeding the movement and capabilities of the enemy. This includes tasks such as constructing and maintaining field fortifications, laying or clearing mines, and demolishing obstacles -- including enemy mechanized assets. |
