Who is the warfighter and who is the Support? Infantrymen (11B) are the primary combatant force of the military. Cavalry Scouts (19D) are nothing more than hilltop observers. They &quot;creep&quot; up in their moderately armored BFV, watch the enemy, and then call the warriors into battle. The Infantryman is the knife in the dark and the nightmare to the evil at heart. The Cavalry are Peeping Toms.

They are responsible for capturing, destroying and repelling enemy ground forces. <br />The cavalry scout is responsible for being the eyes and ears of the commander during battle. They track and report their activity and direct the employment of weapon systems to their locations.<br />Primarily combat, closing with and destroying the enemy, vs. primarily reconnaissance, gaining rout and enemy information to better allow the maneuver and use of combat forces.<br /><br />Infantry units may conduct reconnaissance, cavalry scouts may engage the enemy in direct combat, but their overall role and function is simply different. 2LT Private RallyPoint Member Tue, 01 May 2018 10:18:50 -0400 2018-05-01T10:18:50-04:00 Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made May 1 at 2018 11:50 AM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/what-is-the-difference-between-11b-and-19d?n=3591427&urlhash=3591427 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Cav scouts wear big hats and spurs.<br />Infantry have blue cords and better promotion rates.

LOL! So it really goes like this. The infantry is the largest of all MOS&#39;s in the U.S. Army meaning it has the largest amount of Soldier&#39;s that all do the same job. It is referred to as the Queen of Battle. As every married man know that a Queen will rule her King. The king may have the voice for his people to hear but he&#39;s gonna do what his queen tells him he&#39;ll do. Imagine it like an old wagon wheel. There&#39;s a center hub, many spokes and an outer wheel. The infantry would be like the hub, the support jobs would be like the spokes and outer wheel would be like the artillery or King of Battle. Can the hub still roll down a hill with out its spokes and outer wheel. Yes it can, however its efficiency is greatly diminished without its spoke and outer wheel. Can the spokes roll down a hill? Most likely yes but they&#39;ll be even less effective without the hub and outer wheel. Can the outer wheel roll down hill alone? Yes but when it hits a rock (Anti Tank Mine) or IED its gonna be stopped either demolished or damaged. Independently all MOS can work by themselves but the infantry is designed to Fight and Win Wars. All other Jobs the Army offers are there to Support the Infantry!

US Military is a combined arms force,some fight some don&#39;t,LUCK of the draw,really.

Someone asks 11b or 19d and then a lot of ignorance, assumptions, and incredibly subjective posts that are little more than &quot; infantry is better&quot; which truly brings nothing to a discussion.

Being 1/10 the size of an Infantry BN they rely on stealth to reach thier objectives.<br /><br />By design if the 19D is the Eyes and the Ears; the 11B is the Sword. There mission is to take and hold ground, overwhelming the enemy when and where they least expect it. How are they able to accomplish that? But using the information provided back to the BN S2, by the 19D.<br /><br />There will always be rivalry, but like Step-brothers, they need each other to succeed.

Have to clean and maintain less equipment. My Drill Sergeant partner was a Cav Scout. Great guy smart, Bradley Mastergunner. Used to run around yelling out Bradley Fighting Vehicle fire commands all the time. Probably more opportunities for promotion and schools in the Infantry. But I got out in 2003. So my advice is old.

We were the Blues Platoon Air First Calvary Reconnaissance 11B. It’s nothing like having support from those Huey’s. We all work as one expanded team with different MOS.

The 19D they are as mentioned forward scouts plus they direct fires either from air or Big guns Far behind the front lines .. So both MOS is are Crucial to the outcome of the battle .. I did not had the honor to serve in any one of those MOS’s .. I served with the military intelligence and the psychological operations (It was the most enjoyable time of my life) .. Any MOS in the military is very important and it contributor to the outcome of the battle. Everyone served in any MOS in any Capacity, they are heroes in my eyes, no matter what.
