Boots on the ground
Does anyone know the expression boots on the ground?
I suppose it's a military expression, but I'm not certain.
Regards,
me

boots on the ground
(idiomatic, military) The ground forces actually fighting in a war or conflict at the time of speaking, rather than troops not engaged or being transported to the fighting.
"The Pentagon may say we have enough, but that's not what I'm hearing from the boots on the ground."
