I am the Infantry. Follow Me!

The National Infantry Association maneuvers to be the premier professional organization for the entire U.S. Infantry, setting the standard for non-profit support of the military.

Our Mission

As the professional organization for the United States Infantry, The National Infantry Association stands as a non-profit organization centered on a robust and growing membership. We build camaraderie among the Infantry community by connecting our members with beneficial networks and resources; recognizing outstanding contributions to the infantry through our awards; and, preserving the heritage, history, customs, and traditions of the Infantry.
