Mechanised Infantry

Less common than line infantry, mechanised infantry serve as a fast-moving, hard-hitting force, pairing the utility of infantry with the speed and firepower of armoured vehicles. The availability of Chimera transports is the main limiting factor to the number of mechanised infantry units in any given warzone, and this rarity means that many mechanised infantry regiments are divided into a number of smaller Armoured Fist groups—single squads or platoons—attached to armoured regiments (to provide infantry support) and line infantry regiments (to provide a fast reserve or armoured vanguard).
