IN | THE CLOSE COMBAT ELEMENT
$22.00
The IN |The Close Combat Element tumbler honors the 11B Infantryman and the branch built for direct ground combat. In, Infantry, 11B, and 1775 form a single defense element representing fire and maneuver, team-level discipline, and a lineage established with the Continental Army. Created for serving Infantrymen, veterans, retirees, leaders, and families, the design preserves an identity earned through training, hardship, trust, and responsibility to the Soldiers beside you.

Product Details
IN | The Close Combat Element. This elment closes distance with the enemy through fire and maneuver, and seize or defend ground at the point where the mission becomes personal. Across formations and generations, that responsibility has shaped an identity recognized immediately by those who have carried it.
Built at Team Level
Infantry formations depend on weapons, communications, intelligence, fires, mobility, and sustainment, but their strength is built at the level of the team and squad. Every Soldier must understand a position, cover a sector, maintain equipment, and move as part of something larger. Trust is established through repetition and tested when exhaustion, uncertainty, terrain, and weather begin taking their share.
The IN | The Close Combat Element tumbler recognizes the routines behind that standard: range iterations, battle drills, rehearsals, ruck movements, fighting positions, weapons maintenance, field problems, and the constant correction of small details. These are not glamorous tasks. They are the foundation that allows a fire team to move with purpose and a squad to act with confidence.
That shared work is why “Infantryman” becomes a permanent identity rather than a temporary job title. Individual experiences differ, but the language remains familiar: team, squad, platoon, mission, and the Soldier beside you. The branch remembers service through unit histories, hard-earned qualifications, trusted leaders, and people who carried the same weight.
An Identity Earned Up Close
For a serving 11B, the IN | The Close Combat Element tumbler can mark graduation, qualification, promotion, reenlistment, reassignment, or recognition from a respected leader. For a veteran or retiree, it preserves the branch and occupational identity long after the final formation. Families and fellow Soldiers may choose it to honor the discipline behind the title and the bonds created through shared hardship.
The Infantry element tumbler gives the high-contrast design a practical daily presence while keeping attention on In, 11B, Infantry, and 1775. Its meaning remains direct because the mission it represents has always demanded clarity.
The IN |The Close Combat Element tumbler records the branch built to close the distance and hold the ground. Within the Elements of Defense Collection, Infantry stands as the close combat element: founded in 1775, sustained by the squad, and carried forward by every Soldier who earned the name Infantryman.
