Bravo Company MOS
19K - Armor Crewman
The 19 Kilo MOS, Armor Crewman, provides Reconnaissance and Security for 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry in combat operations. As an Armor Crewman, members of this MOS are system experts on the M1A2 Abrams tank as well as other armored vehicles, and dedicated to providing long range eyes and heavy firepower to convoy missions and combined arms assaults. Whether rolling through town with closely-coordinated infantry squads, raining down fire from a tactically advantageous high ground, or thundering across the open plain to destroy enemy armor, the 19K MOS is recognized by its fierce destructive effects on the battlefield and respected for its role as the guardian of other friendly forces on the ground.
11B - Mechanised Infantry
Mechanized infantry are the front line assault and heavy fire support squads, we go in on the ground and as such, we are the fastest deployed unit in the cavalry. Using the Stryker ICV, Bradley IFV, and sometimes the HMMWV, we quickly flank the enemy or blast though the front door with a Tank's direct fires support.
Favoring heavy weapons over the lightweight, our rifle infantry divert from the status quo, our automatic riflemen utilizes the M240B, our AT crewmen use the MAAWS and Javelin systems. Our vehicles sport are myriad of weapons systems i.e. the M2 MG, Mk19 GMG, M134, 25mm Autocannon, and a variety of ATGM systems.
Also, Mechanized Infantry work closely with the tanks. In the open tanks provide us protection in convoys enabling us to maneuver to assault positions. In urban environments, Mechanized Infantry become the tanks eyes and ears--Talking the tank onto targets while removing the RPG threats for the tanks.
Our speed and flexibility can, quickly move a combat element to any part of the battlefield, often being the deciding factor, in fire an maneuver tactics.
