"Defender ready to fight!"

Tactical analysis

 * At the ready: Made up of volunteers. The Defenders are ideal defensive troops. When properly emplaced, they can easily hold off large numbers of enemy infantry, and are even effective against light vehicles. However, they must first deploy to be effective, which takes time
 * Mobile HMG nest: When deployed into their personal bunker or garrisoning a building, however, the Defender truly comes into his own. Their machine gun tearing straight through infantry and light vehicles, and with enough range to cut down most attackers without fear of retaliation. And when garrisoned, they fire faster and can even fire at enemy aircraft
 * Tanks no worry: For armored foes, Defenders can take out their disposable LAW to deal with them. In numbers these can wear down any tank, even rogue Volksgard armor. Again, the Defenders effectiveness of their LAW increases when firing from a garrison or cover
 * Hang on: But because of the weight of their heavy armor and extra equipment, Heavy Defenders travel much slower than most infantry, and while their rifle is powerful its only good against infantry
