Gaiaterra: Elysea's Conflict/Red Brigade

"..."

-...

The Red Brigade is one of the Socialist Union of Voshkod's Tier II infantries. Planned to be voiced by.

Overview
The Voshkod army mostly rely on conscription. However, this can't always do when conflict arises. The Red Brigade is the name given to professional soldiers within the Union, mainly composed of Conscripts with higher education and skills. Being equipped with RPG modified to fire high explosive rockets instead, making them giant grenade launchers, and their previous war experience.

Appearance
The attire of the Red Brigade for men is based on the Red Alert 2 conscript attire, to contrast with the standard Conscript wearing the Red Alert 3 attire.

History
Among the ranks of Voshkod Conscripts, there are those who are level-headed, brave, cautious, and attentive enough to answer a higher calling than that of a mere Conscript, yet have missed their shot at getting out of the infantry. These individuals are trained to a higher standard than their comrades; those who have survived long enough and shown enough skill in battle are separated from their fellow Conscripts and sent on a grueling two-week journey of intense training. By the end of this crash course, they are changed. No longer merely Conscripts, they are now... The Red Brigade.

Compared to their sorry comrades, Red Brigades are the height of military discipline and efficiency. Their backs ramrod straight, their weapons by their sides, and Maroon armbands in prominent view, Red Brigades stand above their comrades as shining examples. Unlike Conscripts, Red Brigades have actual ranks and uniforms (alongside actual armor) and are far better trained and versed in combat. Most fight in Red Brigade divisions, proper military units far more effective than ill-trained masses of Conscripts.

However, to inspire other Conscripts to strive to attain the position of a Red Brigade, a sizeable number of Red Brigades are attached to Conscript formations. Here, they serve as squad leaders and role models for Conscripts to look up to. In battle, these Red Brigades usually carry RPGL-7s, weapons capable of supporting their comrades with indirect fire.

The RPGL-7 fulfills a purpose different from other missile launchers; it has too limited fuel to be used as a viable anti-air weapon, and is instead used as a grenade launcher. The grenades follow a predictable arc that Red Brigades have memorized, so they can be fired over obstacles into enemy targets, and each APHE warhead packs an explosive punch that is lethal to both light vehicles and infantry, in addition to knocking infantry backward. Red Brigades also carry smoke rockets, which can envelop a portion of the battlefield in thick, white smoke that prevents those outside from seeing into it, although this is also true for soldiers inside. As such, in order to avoid wasting ammunition, both parties will avoid firing, at least until the smokescreen dissipates.
