As such, he must be a master of his basic skills: shoot, move, communicate, survive, and sustain. These basic skills provide the Soldier’s ability to fight. When collectively applied by the fire team, squad, and platoon, these skills translate into combat power. Of all branches in the Army, the Infantry is unique because its core competency is founded on the individual Soldier — the Infantry rifleman.

Combined arms is how Army forces fight, where leadership creatively combine weapons, units, and tactics. The 2-116th CAB is currently preparing to deploy in support of Operation Spartan Shield
