"Defender ready to fight!"

The Defender is the standard infantry of the VEG. Planned to be voiced by Patrick Seitz.

Tactical analysis

 * At the ready: Made up of volunteers. The Defenders are ideal defensive troops. Their bolt-action rifles capable of picking off infantry from farther than average distance
 * 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. However, it takes time to deploy
 * Tank punch: If the Defender faces against armored vehicles they can fire their light anti-tank weapon (LAW), while it does little damage to more modern armor the squads training with it means that their shot always damages the engine
 * Where's the garrison: But because of the weight of their heavy armour and extra equipment, Defenders travel much slower than most infantry, and while their rifle is powerful its only good against infantry and the unit must be still to fire
