Infantry Platoon by New School Army totally rebuilt for 2025! This app, serving infantry platoons for almost a decade, is our second installment in the Infantry App series covering Infantry doctrine at the Platoon Level. We took ATP 3-21.8 Infantry Rifle Platoon and Squad's 596 page manual and broke it into 37 sections for easy study and reference. Every section is exportably to PDF for your platoon level training needs. We've also got over 600 Flash Cards created from the doctrine. These are broken down by the sections of the doctrine (Attack, Defense, Recon, Patrols...) and a massive infantry terms flashcard set because words mean stuff and we need to know all the words. We threw in these extras just in case you bought this app and didn't buy the first Infantry app: Packing Lists - Create and distribute detailed packing lists for any mission. Build standard templates, conduct pre-combat checks, and ensure your unit is ready to roll. Share lists instantly with your team. War Journal - Every infantry platoon needs one, we've got yours in the app. FEATURES THAT MATTER: - Zero cloud dependency - your data stays on your device - No account required - download and execute - Built-in sharing for all PDFs Perfect for Squad Leaders, Platoon Sergeants, and Platoon Leaders who need reliable, offline access to tactical references and training management tools. - New School Army

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Board Ready at every 4 months against Infantry Platoon's every 55 months. Infantry Platoon's advantage is price ($0.99 vs $2.99) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
