History
"Stand up, hook up, shuffle to the door,

Jump on out and count to four,

And if my main don't open wide,

I gotta reserve by my side!"

-Alliance Pathfinder marching cadence

During the conceptual stages for Plan Meia, planners were fully aware that for the paratrooper forces to be able to operate effectively behind enemy lines, they would not only need to be able to survive on their own supplies for extended periods of time but also be able to handle a wide variety of threats, from tanks to aircraft. To be able to do this, the paratrooper forces would need to be equipped with a variety of weapons. At the same time, weight was a concern, so the weapons could not be too heavy, or they would end up overburdening the paratroopers.

These were some of the considerations involved when it was being debated as to what weapons the paratrooper forces' anti-tank specialists would carry. The Javelin was then still experimental, and its weight would have likely ruled it out anyway. In the end, the MX-202 "Flash" rocket launcher was chosen, loaded with "Sprint" surface-to-air missiles for anti-aircraft work. A lightweight, box-shaped launcher, the MX-202's most unique feature was its ability to fire four shots before having to reload. While it was still outclassed by heavier missile launchers, the weapon packed a considerable punch for its weight, and the TAD-60 25mm anti-materiel rifle for its light weight and heavy stopping power to handle vehicles and tanks. Generally, every squad will have at least two of these rocket launchers wielded by specialists, who are referred to as Rocket Pathfinders.
