Role of the Infantry

The Infantry is the major combat element of the Australian Defence Force, responsible for seeking out and closing with the enemy, to kill or capture them, to seize and hold ground, repel attack, by day or by night, regardless of season, weather, or terrain.

Key Responsibilities
  • Lead from the front as a rifle platoon commander or specialist platoon commander
  • Command a battalion's specialist platoon, such as heavy weapons, reconnaissance/sniper, mortars, small craft, or signals
  • Platoon commander at the School of Infantry (Singleton) or the 1st Recruit Training Battalion (Kapooka)
  • Liaison officer on a brigade headquarters
Requirements

High standards of mental and physical toughness, esprit de corps, battle craft, and determination are required from soldiers, and doubly so from officers who are expected to lead from the front.

Graduates who are allotted to the Royal Australian Infantry (RAInf) Corps on graduation from Royal Military College (RMC) can expect to spend three or four years as a lieutenant with at least the first posting in an infantry battalion.
