Motorized rifle troops
Motorized rifle troops are the largest branch of the ground forces and their main striking force. This is the direction most contract servicemen start in.
What the role involves
Duties and role
Motorized rifle troops conduct combined arms combat: occupy and hold positions, operate in infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers, support the offensive and defense in cooperation with tanks, artillery and other types of troops. This is “armored infantry” - mobile, equipped and trained to operate in any conditions.
It is the motorized rifle units that form the backbone of the ground force. Therefore, there are the most positions and directions here - from a shooter and machine gunner to an infantry fighting vehicle driver, a grenade launcher and a squad commander. For a person without military experience, this is an understandable entry point: there is a clear structure of training and growth.
