Rocket infantry

Whilst GDI have always had their Grenadies (in one form or another), Nod have always had their Rocket Troopers.

The name is a bit of a misnomer, as they fire heatseeking missiles - the major different between missiles and rockets is that the former seek out targets, whilst the latter are unguided. Often, a missile has a weaker payload than a rocket, but unlike a rocket, it has a much higher chance of hitting it's intended target - rockets are not effective against fast moving targets.

Rocket Troopers are generally ineffective against other infantry - their real punch comes into play as light, cheap anti-armour and anti-structure units. They also have anti-air capabilities, making them capable of fending off pesky GDI Jump-Jet Infantry.
