To link between the Middle Ages and the Modern Age: Regular Infantry (British redcoats, etc), though unarmored, would have been considered heavy infantry, in contrast to skirmishers or light infantry.

The only link to the modern era except for mech infantry would be the development of powered exoskeletons, although such has seen only fictional military use, some promising DARPA projects notwithstanding.--Sergeantgiggles
