19D's are in a class with cooks, computer/network repairs, mechanics, and field artillery. They are called POGs.

And I'd like to question your POG comment, by your definition cav is a POG mos? So you probably roll tankers, artillery crewmen, fisters, combat medics, and SOF as POGs? So if you met a 92G3T, you'd consider him/her a POG?

The actual name for the 11B (11 BAAM BAAM) (regarding to the sound of the firearms when it’s fired and the sound of explosions of hand-Grenades and other devices they use to destroy the enemy) so it’s the fighting force, No doubt about it. 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.

Infantry do a lot of walking into combat situations, Scouts do a lot of riding metal boxes into combat situations.

I served duty at Fort Wainwright AK. back in 1981. 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.

Well you have zero bias when comparing 19 D to anyone can be a 11B. Lol
19D keep you alive by providing info you need to do your job more efficiently

Theres already like 5 other discussions exactly like this. Someone asks 11b or 19d and then a lot of ignorance, assumptions, and incredibly subjective posts that are little more than " infantry is better" which truly brings nothing to a discussion.

The real problem is a SCOUT must use stealth as a tool for recon.NOT many folks follow or SEE what we do,as a course of the job...the ONLY infantry who know are mortars or we sick them on others as we hunt more.OR as in Desert Storm WE are the raiding armor ...no infantry around but Mortars and Zoomie FACs.GSR radar and artillery FOs ride behind and medics were will us all.the real and elite in prior deployment.
If one MUST measure who's the best warrior based on modern combat,the one still walking is ALWAYS a clue. US Military is a combined arms force,some fight some don't,LUCK of the draw,really.

Hey People. Some of the comments are getting close to the line. Teasing between 11Bs and POGs is one thing, but let's remember, we're ALL on the same team. No matter what branch of the military we belong to, we all took a similar oath that put us in harm's way.

2 letters and 7 digits. LOL! So it really goes like this. The infantry is the largest of all MOS's in the U.S. Army meaning it has the largest amount of Soldier'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's gonna do what his queen tells him he'll do. Imagine it like an old wagon wheel. There'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'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!
