"The primary mission of the Infantry platoon and squad is to close

with the enemy by means of fire and maneuver to destroy, capture,

or repel an assault by fire, close combat, and counterattack. In order

to succeed, Infantry platoons and squads are aggressive, physically

fit, disciplined, and well-trained. The inherent strategic mobility of

Infantry units dictates a need to be prepared for rapid deployment

in response to situations in different operational environments..."
