Gaiaterra: Elysea's Conflict/Rifle Squad

"Rifle squad ready!"

-Rifle Squad

The Rifle Squad are the main basic infantry unit of the Aion Defense Initiative since their war against the Brotherhood and later the Destroyers of Balthazar. Planned to be voiced by *TBA*

Tactical analysis

 * Deploy and Fire: Conditioned to the rough conditions of trench warfare, Gunner G.I are ideal defensive troops. When properly emplaced, they can easily hold off large numbers of enemy infantry and are even effective against lighter vehicles. However, they must first deploy to be effective, which takes time.
 * Strike Through: On foot, their submachinegun is decent against most infantry, though its range is lacking.
 * Mobile Machine Gun Nest: When deployed into their personal bunker or garrisoning a building, however, the Gunner G.I truly comes into their own. Their machine gun will tear straight through infantry and light vehicles, and they has enough range to cut down most attackers without fear of retaliation. When garrisoned, they can even fire at enemy aircraft!
 * Take Caution: Because of the weight of their heavy armor and extra equipment, Gunner G.I travel much slower than most infantry. Their grenade launcher packs a punch against light vehicles, but little else.

Overview
Armed with automatic GD-5 rifles and standard ADI body armour, these six men squads are well trained and equipped. Every soldier carries with him a bubble shield, used to protect themselves from all incoming fire.

Riflemen have access to advanced Composite armour suits or Chemical field suits that provide them with better protection. On the battlefield, they maintain their fitness by doing push ups, usually in sets of five or so.

Like all ADI infantry, they can be shuttled around the battlefield in the V-35 Ox Transports. Some infantry squads are members of elite ADI Airborne divisions.
