Tactical analysis

 * Elite amongst infantry: Small and expensive. The Riflemen represents the UCA elite, but versatile, combat force
 * Jack of all trades: Armed with an assault rifle and RPG that holds anti-tank and surface to air rocket (STAR) rounds. The Riflemen can face any foe without fail, while absorbing most damage and immune to suppression thanks to their heavy armor. And can throw grenades against infantry in cover or garrisoned or dig a foxhole to defend themselves
 * Master of none: But due to the their training riflemen are expensive and, combined with their initial rank, means that they actually start out weaker compared to their foes, and their lack of focus means that they will lose to units specializing against aircraft, infantry, or tanks
 * Master of all: Riflemen aces, on the other hand, are known to be toughest soldier ever made. And among their increase in skills are given the M5 prototype assault rifle, which is actually a gatling chaingun chambering anti-infantry/anti-air airburst rounds and anti-tank HEAT rounds, to replace their rifle and RPG and the mk4 "finn" prototype power frame, granting increased strength and toughness

Overview
Draft from young men and women. The Riflemen forms the backbone of the UCAAF, tasked to to take and defend territory and can face down nearly anything with their versatile weaponry and armour.

The Riflemen's outfit consist of their plugsuit with an assault frame and full plate armour, normally painted blue with orange highlights, and the UCA emblem on their left spaulder, with a with a helmet based off the USA m1 helmet with a visor, a sleeveless trenchcoat, and their pack holding their RPG, ammunitions, and other essentials. And armed with a assault rifle, RPG, and bastard sword. All made of steel.

Upon reaching ace rank their assault frame is upgraded with a small generator on the back of the frame and servos to the joints and their pack becomes smaller, due to switching its RPG ammo to smaller grenades. Once the stimpack upgrade is purchased all Riflemen will now have a red vial attached to the bicep of their frame.

History
"Charge sons of Alcradia!"

-Captain Alex of the 4th rifles division rallying his troops into battle

Upon being drafted the Fenrir, whether men or women, farmers or doctors, are drilled in the basics of shooting and melee for four years, which can be shorten if they choose to volunteer, after about a year of training, as Servicemen. And by the end are given their assault rifle, RPG, armor, and assault frame, becoming the pride of the UCA.

Their standard armament are the mk4A garland assault rifle, RPG, frag grenades, bastard sword, full plate armor, assault frame, and surface to air rocket (STAR) rounds which fires a rocket that explodes in a hail of shrapnel upon reaching a designated altitude. While this makes their infantry better armed and armored compared to the equivalents it also means their more expensive.

Recently the UCA have begun to manufacture the Garland mk5 rifle and is being issued as fast as it can be manufactured. Firing explosive airburst against infantry and aircraft and HEAT rounds for vehicles and tanks and the mk4 prototype "finn" power frame, a set of servos, with a generator, placed onto the assault frame that increases the strength and decrease fatigue on the soldier. But limited number of such weapons and frame, and the nightmare to maintain it after battle, means that their issue has been limited to veterans.

Ace upgrade
Riflemen can now fire while moving, decreases abilities cooldown, gain major buff to health, speed, and regeneration, melee attacks now instantly kills most infantry, and weaponry is replaced with a stronger assault rifle
