abstract
  • The Mobile Infantry is an elite planetary fighting force of the Terran Federation. This Branch of the Terran Federation Army is the main ground combat force with other active ground units being K-9 Corps used for Recon. Heinlein depicts the Mobile Infantry as a heavily armored but highly mobile force which virtually dominates the battlefield and greatly utilizes shock effect — much in the way of modern armored units. Likewise, they are utilized in the same missions (raids, screens, interdiction, etc.) as modern cavalry. In effect, the role depicted in the novel, relying on mobility, shock effect, and firepower, greatly follows the modern US Army Armor branch, with components running the gamut from light cavalry to heavy tanks. In addition, elite airborne infantry is a chief inspiration for Heinlein's troopers (both parachute and Air Assault).
