    I like how most scouts had a radio... A single scout with a radio has the capability to do more damage than an infantry platoon. A skill level 1 scout has already the capability to conduct reconnaissance, navigate through terrain, conduct patrols, and call for many types of indirect fire via air or arty onto enemy positions. 19Do it all...! See you bitches at Fiddlers Green!

    +Brandon Cole Im not going to disrespect my fellow infantrymen... but to me a POG is someone who sits in the rear of the fight, scouts are first in and last out and in front of infantry and all other conventional forces... and you are still a troll who has shown that you have 0 clue as to what being brothers in arms mean.

    +Brandon Cole You're right cav scouts are POG's (people other than grunts) but what's a grunt? "a low-ranking or unskilled soldier or other worker" so cav scouts are actually skilled well trained reconnisance personnel AND an infantry unit when it's needed. Scouts out!

    Try not to do this shit in the future man. The enemy is always trying to monitor specific things even something like that. You can use more general terms like soon or something but keep that in mind. Hopefully you head to a troop at basic and OSUT that will hammer that point in.

    G Miller lol no we're not basically infantry. we're reconnaissance. infantry go in to fight. we go to find the enemy,maintain stealth and report it back to the Commander. it offers the Commmander more options. whether to move the Inf or Ar to close with and kill.or,use artillery to pound the enemy into the stone age. if a Scout plt runs into trouble,they're gonna be calling in the main units to come bail them out as well as indirect fire.the Scout's best friends are the 11C's. the Inf & Ar are much more suited to go take the fight to the enemy. but as far as kickin doors, yeah were all doin grunt shit lol so in short,they have the support of whatever the main unit is. no were not infantry,we're Cavalry. we Scout, screen, overwatch,provide security, traffic control points and do hasty demolition on high priority targets (like bridges) if there are no immediate engineer assets available. we are also used as force multipliers to reinforce the main combat force. such as just using us in a Inf role like kickin in doors. hope this helped lol

    In today's modern Army and battlefield without distinct front lines, and since the drawdown from Cold War, with fewer bodies to share across the battlespace basically every combat arms MOS (infantry, armor, field artillery, engineers, and scouts) will at times operate as an infantry unit in addition to their primary MOS in a FOB/CP style battlefied including attachments from support functions such as MPs, maintenance, and quartermaster/logistics. Today's downsized army personnel is 85% overhead (non combat arms) so all soldiers are fair-game and have a high likelihood of operating in an infantry style capacity.

    In a conventional war they will go in front of the mainstay of armored, infantry and other units and scout the enemy positions. They either avoid combat or zoom in full speed attack and get their asses out of their. In a geurilla war they are like normal infantry units, but not as well trained as the infantryman in infantry tactics.

    ***** scouts aren't infantry by the MOS series they are actually armor 19 series. But Ar. and Inf. unit will both have at least one scout platoon. I think there is only one or two units in the whole army that have motorcycles. A scout could be on armor hummer motorcycle buggy Blackhawk and most often boots. Did 10yrs as a trooper myself in 2/68 ar then 1/54 inf and 1/4 Cav "Quarterhorse". "Scouts Out"

    I love most of our soldiers and I do support them, but when they die a part of me dies. I can't believe this year. It's been ISIS a million times murdering people all over the world, homegrown violence and devastation, and I hate to admit it, but please be patient when I describe what happened to me this past summer a summer so horrible I will curse that time of year for the rest of my life and my journey to eternity in the afterlife. I was shipped off twice to violence and terror filled institutions and in brief interim I had been so badly beaten that my mind and reasoning left me. I forgot what a soldier was I was so sick and lost all my faith in everything including myself. I, in rage and torment, for the first and last time in my life seriously attempted suicide. I nearly succeeded and that is the scariest experience and closest to an actual wound that I have had NEVER DO IT NEVER LOSE YOUR FAITH! I was out cold for two days and nights. Then more brutality when I sought help. Our health care at least in New Jersey is rotten and shit, but my salvation is my new determination to live to the fullest and to never again lost my faith in myself and the people I love. This video warmed my heart to see what a great job these heroes are doing. Best wishes to you in Mosul you must defeat ISIS!
