Pathfinder

Path Finders were the USA's elite snipers. Equipped with a long-range sniper rifle and effective camouflage, the Path Finder could take out enemy infantry systematically and often without enemy commanders realizing. Path Finders were stealthed when not moving or firing a shot.

Upgrades

 * Chemical Suits - Available later in the conflict from the Strategy Center, in response to the increased use of toxins by GLA generals. Provided improved protection against toxins, at least long enough for the wearer to evacuate the infected area.
 * Advanced Training

Tactics/Counters
While the GLA only possessed one skilled sniper, Jarmen Kell, Path Finders could be trained en masse. Like other infantry, they could be loaded into Humvees and ordered to garrison buildings, providing exceptional anti-infantry protection for advancing units. However, their sniper rifle was utterly useless against vehicles. If cornered by an anti-infantry vehicle, Path Finders had to remain still and rely on their camouflage to protect them.
