What are the differences between infantry and cav scouts in the army?

19D and 11B were both OJT on the job training MOS'... in the Guard... go learn a valuable job skill.

The mentality between the two disciplines are polar opposites. Infantrymen need to violently aggressive to do thier jobs. Often times that aggression is what allows them to accomplish thier objectives and minimize casualties. Scouts, on the other hand, rely on stealth and patience to survive. If the 2 or 3 scouts on an OP are caught, they're likely dead. Scouts will fight to break contact and run. We're too far ahead of the main elements and won't reliable recieve any support of caught. We'd probably get some artillery support. Rule #1of being a scout: Don't get caught. The similarities between Scout and infantry is that we both do a lot of walking and carry a rifle and radio, the similarities end about there. As a scout, I trained on infantry battle drills just like infantry train on setting up OPs. Doesn't make us good at the others' job. during my stint at Ft. Irwin, most OPs I walked into a destroyed were set up by infantry guys who were talking so loudly that I heard them from my OP on the other side of the ridge from them.

I’m 11B in the NG. The main difference on paper is the cav scouts would be a “Recon” unit, and Infantry would be the fighting force.. On the modern battlefield, since the enemy is not uniformed, a lot of the time cav scouts will end up in contact and needing to do similar jobs. The infantry is trained more specifically for combat.. On paper, it’s basically Recon (19D) VS Infantry (11B/C).. If you are scared to fight, neither option is a great idea for you. If your more into the recon aspect, Cav Scout. If you want to be part of a bigger brotherhood that is build on the pride of being the best at everything they do, Infantry
