They ride around in heavy armoured vehicles (as opposed to light infantry). In the US, they'd be equipped with the Bradley fighting vehicle. In the UK, they'd use the Warrior IFV.

What type of infantry is the most basic?

I suppose light infantry, although not so much anymore, especially as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have required them to adapt to mechanised operations. Currently, the US Army only has two distinct types of infantry - those who operate mortars, and those who don't. Prior to 2002, there were four main infantry MOS - 11B (light infantry), 11C (mortars), 11H (TOW anti-tank), and 11M (mechanised). 11H and 11M were folded into 11B, so there is no longer any distinction made between mechanised infantry soldiers and light infantry soldiers.
