About 11B10 Infantryman

The 11B10 Infantryman is the U.S. Army's primary enlisted infantry designation, tracing its roots back to the Army's adoption of the Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) system in the 1950s. Throughout the Vietnam War, 11B10 Infantrymen formed the backbone of U.S. ground combat forces, known for their versatility in patrolling, ambushes, and direct combat. Over the decades, the role evolved with advancements in weaponry and tactics, but the 11B10 continued to serve on the front lines in conflicts such as Operation Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Enduring Freedom. Today, the 11B Infantryman remains the Army’s quintessential ground combat soldier, embodying the motto "Follow Me" as the heart of the Army's fighting force.
