What is an Infantry Centre
The Infantry Centre of Finland is a website with comprehensive information on the different branches of the infantry under the main headings of Will – Skill – Technique. The site also contains information on infantry traditions and international links. The Infantry Centre brings together the different infantry actors, collects and shares infantry-related information and thus develops and maintains the performance of the infantry.
The Infantry Centre is one form of activity of the Infantry Museum Foundation, established in collaboration with the Armed Forces Infantry Branch.
The Infantry Centre brings together the past, the present and the future of the infantry.
