The Rifleman Squads are the mainstay of the Global Defense Initiative. They are armed with automatic GD-2 rifles and all are equipped with standard GDI body armour. Their squads are composed of six soldiers.
The riflemen are well trained, and will seek all cover possible for them. In a battle against a Nod Militia squad, the Rifleman squad will usually emerge victorious due to superior training, albeit with casualties. If the militants are led by a confessor however, the result can be less certain.
If ordered, the soldiers will use the portable shovels they carry to create foxholes, acting as bunkers, providing necessary cover. They can also be outfitted with advanced composite armour or Tiberium field suits that gives them better protection than regular body suits. On the battle field, they maintain their fitness by doing star jumps. Although well trained, Riflemen have difficulty against elite Nod forces.
Like all GDI infantry, they can be shuttled around the battlefield in the V-35 Ox. Some infantry squads are also members of elite GDI Airborne divisions.
