Grenadier squad

 is a GDI infantry squad in Tiberium Wars.

Background
The new grenadiers wear standard GDI combat armor with specially modified helmets to shield their head from shrapnel and potential trauma caused by the grenades. They carry grenades in their backpacks, as throwing grenades allow for more precision than using grenade launchers. The grenades themselves have miniature rocket engines embedded within them and minimal AI guidance, allowing them to reach enemies in remote locations with deadly precision. This gives grenadiers the ability to clear garrisoned buildings without destroying the structure itself.

Due to the weight of the packs, the grenadiers usually exercise on the battlefield by performing jumping jacks and practices tossing their grenades around. With the advances in technology, the grenades no longer explode if they aren't primed for detonation.

Recent breakthroughs in technology have also affected these squads. Grenadier squads can be upgraded with Composite armour. The ZOCOM has also started to upgrade their Grenadier squads with Tiberium field suits. Grenadiers can also make the use of EMP grenades.
