Mobile infantry refers to infantry that has superior mobility to traditional infantry, the latter being expected to march into battle. Mobile infantry, on the other hand, is better equipped with vehicles for transportation to and on the battlefield. Examples include:
- Mechanized infantry, equipped with armored personnel carriers (APCs) or infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs)
- Motorized infantry, employing trucks or other vehicles, but not APCs or IFVs
- Mounted infantry, riding horses. Dragoons were originally mounted infantry
- Bicycle infantry, specifically employing bicycles for movement
- Airmobile infantry, carried by helicopter or other aircraft.
