infantries
Armies on foot
Infantries is the plural of infantry, soldiers who fight on foot rather than on horseback or in vehicles.
The word typically appears when distinguishing multiple infantry units or forces: The infantries of three nations converged on the border.
In practice, infantry usually serves as both singular and plural, making infantries relatively uncommon.
