G.I.

The Government Issue unit, or G.I. for short, is the standard infantry for the Allies’ ground assault troops. They are equipped with a machine pistol and a powerful DSR-80 weapon to mow down enemies with ease. Unfortunately, the DSR-80 produces far too much recoil to be used on the move.

This glaring vulnerability was solved by issuing sandbags to G.I.’s and training them in fortifying themselves. The effects were immediate as casualties dropped sharply. This technique was improved and utilized for the ‘Guardian’ G.I. anti-armor divisions to great effect as well. For even more protection, G.I.’s are trained in fortifying civilian structures to protect them from enemy fire.
