What is the difference between 11B and 19D?

BA11S

Same team, I never worked in my mos. I was a mechanic getting shot at. Y'all wanna rock paper scissors about who did what. Who's a real soldier ? The soldier next to you and the only one that matters.

Go light Infantry or airborne infantry. 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.

Overlooking all the bravado and adolescent rivalry between the branches; 19D's are the Eyes and Ears the a BN cannot function with out, they are not merely "observers" the Delta has the ability to engage enemy forces with massive indirect fires. Being 1/10 the size of an Infantry BN they rely on stealth to reach thier objectives.

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.

There will always be rivalry, but like Step-brothers, they need each other to succeed.

All I did was walk a perimeter with a dog. Y'all have strange codes,dogs just wanted to investigate or chew up things or people. AF,had at that time, not so much time to name each operation.

11b's don't eat their horses.

Go on sand hill as an 11X and your Drill Sergeant has a real hilarious answer to that question

19d is a scout mos. 11bravo is light weapons infantry

Once upon a time, before the Army in its infinite wisdom decided it had too many MOS, there were shades of gray. IIRC, the were 5-6 11 series MOS, two of which, 11M, Mechanized Infantryman, and 11H, Anti-Armor Infantryman, were very much like a cav scout... the former were the M2 Bradley (and M113 before that) crewmen, while the latter were assigned in 4-5 man teams in a TOW equipped vehicle. When the Great MOS Purges of the Post Gulf Era occurred, the former was absorbed into 11B, while the members of the latter were absorbed into 19D

Infantry kick doors, infantry dig holes, infantry ruck, infantry drive, infantry shoot. Infantry smash everything in a room with forehead. Infantry do everything.
Cav scouts recon; infantry scouts do it better.
