Mechanised Infantry are infantry equipped with armoured personnel carriers (APCs) or infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) for transport and combat, making them much more viable against armored enemies as opposed to motorised infantry. Most APCs and IFVs are all-wheel drive vehicles (6×6 or 8×8), useful for mobility across rough terrain. It is important to note that Mechanized infantry do not fare well in rough terrain particularly Jungle and Mountainous most particularly, but being on the offensive in forests will also prove inefficient.

Given that more advanced technology is used for upgraded tiers of this Infantry, more combat supplies (ammunition and especially fuel) and ordnance supplies (spare vehicle components), and a comparatively larger proportion of manpower is required to crew and maintain the vehicles.

This unit has the following features on its final tier:

• Unlocked with Day 1 Research: Conquer Territory - Unit can conquer provinces/cities once it reaches their center-point.
• Unlocked with Day 13 Research: Airlift - This unit can be transported between airports/landing strips via airlift. Note that it is completely defenseless while in the air.
• Unlocked with Day 17 Research: Limited WMD protection - Unit is better protected when attacked by missiles armed with chemical/nuclear warheads.
