Combat Marines

"In all honesty, and for the purpose of this assessment, I can’t help but predict that the Combat Marines will take enormous casualties within the first few months of the war. Inexperience will cost a lot of lives, and we can only hope that the survivors will learn from their mistakes. A lot will rest on the competence of the individual squad leaders, and on pure luck. " - Captain John Miller, 1st Regiment.

Combat Marines are the backbone of any UEN military campaign, equipped with UEAR-77 Assault Rifles and standard combat armour, and tend to possess the least combat training on average of all UEN units. In effect, they rely more on enthusiasm and good leadership to win and survive battles, then they do on personal skill. They are the first infantry unit available to the player, and have somewhat low health [~105 HP] compared to other UEN units. However, they are more durable than the Guerrillas, as a result of their armor.

Trivia

 * They are also known as the P.B.I. (Poor Bloody Infantry), due to their high casualty numbers.
