Such a character needs to be athletic to make use of any entry path he finds, be it climbing a high wall, swimming across a lake or jumping an electrified fence. This specialist is also knowledgeable of countermeasures of various types of security systems. An infiltrator is often used as a forward scout, but also to gather intelligence, to observe the enemy, to place mines and traps or surveillance aparatus. Cover Ops Specialists' weapons of choice are often pistols as they are easily concealable and offer very little encumbrance. Otherwise, when placed as a sniper, the Cover Ops Specialist will be armed with a long range rifle or a target designator.</p><p></p><p><strong>Field Technician - Andrew Tygers</strong></p><p style="margin-left: 20px"> The Field Technician is a soldier with good training in several technical subjects. Field technicians operate complex equipment used in missions, repair vehicles, weapons and other gear and usually handle communications. When an unusual piece of tech falls in the hands of a squad, the Field Technician usually has a first look at it. Field Technicians may also be employed as saboteurs, disabling communications lines, disarming traps and explosives and using communications gear for electronic warfare. As knowledgeable soldiers, Field Technicians sometimes double as Field Doctors, specially when dealing with soldiers with many cybernetic implants. Field Technicians' weapon of choice is often the Submachine gun as it carries a heavier punch than pistols but don't take as much valuable space as rifles, which is usually used to carry so many gadgets and tools - the technician's true weapons.</p><p></p><p><strong>Robot Operator - Sasha J. Sophastinov</strong></p><p style="margin-left: 20px"> The Robot Operator is a specialist of remote control, surveillance, communications and vehicle operation. Robots are used in the most varied of tasks: scouting, surveillance, combat, explosive disarming and exploration in hazardous environment.

The Robot Operator is often called to offer fire support or to create a diversion.</p><p></p><p><strong>Weapons Specialist "Light" - Rex Andurski</strong></p><p style="margin-left: 20px"> The Weapon Specialist is trained in a wide array of combat implements. The Light Weapons Specialist trains with everything from Machine Pistols to Assault Rifles, including fencing and thrown weapons. This kind of soldier opts for light armor offering a good mobility.

The vehicle operator has extensive training in driving or piloting most relevant motorized transport. Also a fine technician, specially in the fields of mechanics. As vehicle operation is often related to stealthy approach, the driver has some understanding of the ways of using discretion and camouflage. Another common use is to lead reconnaissance drives, so the Vehicle Operator has a sharp eye and a good understanding of Sensor Systems and communications. Vehicle operators can operate remotely almost as well as they can from behind a wheel. Training is so extensive that vehicle operators often learn to operate anthropomorphic vehicles like patrol mechs.</p><p></p><p><strong>Chicago SWAT Lieutenant - Jack O'hara</strong></p><p style="margin-left: 20px"> The SWAT operative is trained for precise operations in a controlled environment.

Lieutenants have officer training, knowing how to coordinate a team, analyse intelligence and plan an action. Many SWAT teams count with one operative training as a paramedic. They have standard hand-to-hand training and offensive driving qualification. SWAT officers operate well with robot operators for scouting, covert ops to enter the place unnoticed and tacticians to coordinate operations. SWAT troopers are weapon specialists with some extra training, they usually aren't as specialized as conventional military weapon specialists but double well as any of those. Most SWAT personnel have no training at all with explosives, heavy vehicle operations and tactical weapons.

Tacticians either train in close combat or long range shooting, rarely improving on middle-range combat, support fire or hit-and-run tactics. As masters of intelligence analysis, Tacticians are very dependent of accurate intelligence reports, both from superiors in the chain of command and from operatives in the field.

They are used as heavy infantry more mobile than tanks, jeeps or even Mech. OGRE are often used to carry heavy loads on ground platoons over hard terrain (jungles, underground, etc.). OGRE soldiers are trained in heavy weaponry that they wield on the armor's hands, unarmed combat (greatly enhanced by the armor power), standard athletics skills to benefit from the suit's mobility (climbing, jumping and running powered by the armor).

They also have good training in wilderness survival, able to stay away from logistics routes and contact with the base for extended periods of time.
