RPG trooper

"Be on watch for the enemy!"

- RPG Trooper

The RPG Trooper was the anti-tank infantry unit of the GLA. Armed with an RPG-7 or perhaps the RPG-27 (a former Soviet anti-tank weapon, the latter being the more modernized), the RPG Trooper was trained to fire at both ground and air targets. A pair of RPG Troopers would emerge from the Tunnel Network to protect any entrance built, when it was built. It should be noted that some generals like Dr. Thrax equipped their RPG Troopers' weapons with different warheads, such as toxin-tipped rockets, and due to the corrosive nature of the anthrax, would be able to dish out more damage than normal RPG Troopers.

RPG Troopers fulfilled the basic function of anti-vehicle infantry in the GLA. Garrisoned in buildings, RPG Troopers could provide a solid defense against attacks by enemy vehicles. As the war progressed the GLA developed the Battle Bus, which could also allow infantry to fire from within it but, of course, while moving. This protected RPG Troopers from machine gun fire and simply being run over, better allowing them to hit-and-run against slow-moving tanks. However, out in the open they were vulnerable to riflemen (for example, a Ranger) and anti-infantry weaponry.
