Unit Types

Infantry/Line Infantry:
Infantería.

- Main-line infantry, with their emphasis on defense rather than offense. The main bulk of the army; not strongly motorized.

Light Infantry:
Marines, Alpino, Carabineros, and Paracaidistas (Parachute/Airborne).

- The Light Infantry are generally composed the same way as the Infantry/Line Infantry, but lack the traditional heavy artillery; in exchange they either receive motorcycles and utility cars (Carabineros) or mountain guns (Alpino)

Heavy Infantry:
Granaderos and Fuzileiros.

- Two regiments of each division are formed like the Line Infantry, but a Tanque Regiment is substituted for the third infantry regiment. The regular infantry regiments also are being equipped with trucks or halftracks; the associated artillery regiments should be composed of self-propelled guns, or the most flexible towed artillery. These divisions are meant to assault positions in support of maneuver troops.

Cavalry:
Caballería.

- Basically, horse or motorcycle-mounted infantry with tank support at the battalion level.

Armoured:
Tanque.

- The Tank Divisions are composed entirely of Tank Regiments, making them the "sharp tip of the spear".
