"Supporting the Three"

I am the Infantry, follow me
Not a foot Soldier, we're much more you see
We'll take the fight to the enemy
I am the Infantry, first of THE THREE.

I am the Cavalry, follow me
A modern day horse soldier in an APC
Charging straight forward to the enemy
I am the Cavalry, most daring of THE THREE.

I am the Armor, follow me
The arm of decision I'll always be
When the going gets rough call on me
I am the Armor, best of THE THREE.

Armor, Cav and Infantry
Rush headlong into the melee
Breaking the lines like an angry sea
Deep into enemy territory.

Approaching a crossroads, what do we see
The area secured by two lonely MPs
Directing us forward, how can this be
How long have they been here waiting for me?

What a crazy person an MP must be
He has no firepower or armor like me
And I thought everyone followed The Three
Armor, Cav, and Infantry.

I am the MP, don't follow me
You don't want to be where I will be
Guarding a crossroads, waiting for The Three
Just my partner, a sixteen, a sixty, and me.

With the objective taken, wait and see
No one will remember the lonely MP
Who held this ground so they could run free
But that's my job, supporting The Three.
