Infantry is the collective term for soldiers who fight on foot and engage in face to face combat with the enemy. They are usually armed with weapons that can be carried by hand, be it swords, bows, guns or other arms (with the occasional exception, particularly in modern times). They are distinguishable from cavalry and artillery troops. During battle they tend to be manouevered in organized formations.
