Artistic Forces/Infantryman

"Infantryman ready for combat!"

- Infantryman The Infantryman is the standard infantry of the SDA. This unit is planned to be voiced by Alejandro Saab.

Background
The infantryman is the main land combat infantry unit and the backbone of the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps within the SDA. He is equally important in both peacetime and combat. Armed with M4A1/XM5 assault rifle (M27 Infantry Automatic Weapon in Marine service) and M33 grenades, his role is to be ready to defend their country in peacetime and to capture, destroy and repel enemy ground forces during combat.

For their service rifles, the Infantrymen who wear either ACHs (or Lightweight Helmets), ECHs, or IHPSs, excluding the ballistic configuration, on their heads, they are equipped with M4A1 carbines. But instead, those who wear the IHPSs with both basic and ballistic configurations mainly equip the XM5 (M27 for Marines) assault rifles as their future standard service rifle when their weapons manufacturer known as SIG Sauer (Heckler & Koch for the M27s) won the contract of the Next Generation Squad Weapon (NGSW) program (IAR program for Marines), intended by the U.S. Army (U.S. Marine Corps for the IAR program), to replace the M4A1s for futuristic military infantry units along with the XM250 automatic rifle (belt-fed M27-IAR for Marines), which is a future replacement of the M249 light machine gun. Like the M16 rifles, the M4A1 carbines are modernly kept active, and still in service with some modern American units than the XM5s (M27s) themselves in futuristic American military units similar to the Howa Type 89, which is kept and used in some RSSDF infantry units along with its replaceable Howa Type 20 in futuristic Japanese units.

Appearance
The design of an Infantryman normally depicts as a regular U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps infantry. Physically, he wears an American military outfit, which is a mixture of the Marine Corps Combat Utility and Army Combat Uniforms with Operational Camouflage Pattern (MARPAT when the player has chosen the CJMC) that contains combat helmet (Advanced Combat Helmet (or Lightweight Helmet), Enhanced Combat Helmet or Integrated Head Protection System), Tactical Goggles with black lens, Improved Outer Tactical Vest (or Modular Tactical Vest), ACU (or MCCUU) jacket with or without elbow pads, Army (or Marine Corps) Combat Gloves, Army (or Marine Corps) Combat Pants with or without kneepads and Army (or Marine Corps) Combat Boots. Randomly, some of them immediately wears a Halo-like Integrated Head Protection System military helmet and a futuristic uniform based on the Combat Capabilities Development Command Soldier, Future Force Warrior, and Soldier Protection System to become even stronger along with his fellow soldiers in the battlefield.

Strategy
Infantrymen are fast, and a full squad can be a threat to low-flying helicopters and VTOL craft. You can ask an Infantryman to crawl, hide, ambush, throw M33 grenades at enemies, and capture the detainees after using Flash Bang Grenades. They are also fairly priced.

Infantrymen can also be upgraded with 3 underslung weapons: M203 grenade launchers, which give them a bonus bit of burst damage when fighting clustered infantry units, light vehicles, and landed helicopters or VTOL craft (although it takes a while to reload and not ideal, this will give Infantrymen a better chance against vehicles and inflict a serious hurt against elite infantry when they have to, making them potentially the most powerful basic infantry unit, as well as best in terms of cost efficiency), M26 Modular Accessory Shotgun System, which is very effective against enemy infantry in a close range, and M7 bayonet, which is used for melee combat. In addition, Flashbang Grenades allow them to clear garrisoned structures at a distance, and can force most enemy infantry to surrender, enabling them to be captured for powering up the CIA Intelligence in the Intelligence Center.
