Something went horribly wrong if you left your vehicle to get out and shoot someone the track has a gunner and turret. Both Infantry and Scouts shouldn't be dismounting and a tanker better not consider it unless it's the last course of action.
I think this question comes from the confusion we suffered through doing COIN operations. I would be hard pressed to tell you the difference between Infantry/Scouts/Tankers/Combat Engineers/13F-B during COIN. I mean we would all have Engineers attached they would utilize line charges and conduct patrols and cordon and searches but they weren't Infantryman. The MOS stuff during COIN operations seems to have confused everyone in the Army.
More defined roles exist in force on force near peer action
Got it. So that Death before Dismount shyt is true. Again I don't know so I'm asking questions again usuing WWII as my reference from what I understood was Infantry protects tanks from manpack Antitank stuff Like Panzerfausts and RPG's I know a single RPG can't do much but what about ten dudes firing at the Tracks or the back? I thought that was what Infantry's job was.
Also again they talked about how there was these vast distances between Infantry Divsions and Armored Divisons in barberossa and how that was a problem Do they even train Infantry to keep pace with the tanks? I know that on the surface seems impossible but in a war with a near peer Intantry would huddle being tanks for protection especially in urban sitiations. They also have that Infantry Phone on tanks right? So they can talk to tanks I saw this Irseali movie about Lebonon and when the Infantry officer wanted to talk to the Tanker he had to get in the tank. That didn't make sense to me unless the tank was stopped. Would an Infantry officer need to get in the tank to talk to the TC?
