footsloggers
Troops on foot
Footsloggers are infantry soldiers—troops who travel and fight on foot rather than in vehicles or on horseback.
The term emphasizes the grueling physical labor of marching long distances: The footsloggers trudged through mud for days.
By extension, footslogger can describe anyone doing tedious, ground-level work.
