- Infantry. The "Whiteshields" militia troops, undisciplined but great in numbers.
- Cheap and fast to recruit, used as cannon fodder and in urban missions where strong troop presence is required.
- Really weak in small numbers or without leaders, but really effective when massed in large numbers.
- Attach leaders and add a Sergeant to instantly get an unexpectedly formidable platoon!
- Can be upgraded with a good amount of Flamers, to lay waste to alien threats, mutants and enemy regular troops.
- Excellent troops for defensive or Survival tactics where then enemy storms your HQ, wave after wave!
- Effective against Infantry and enemy Morale.
