Grunt

Info
Grunts (GnT's), are Union Recruits that have just finished basic training and have chosen to join the soldier branch of The Union. Once someone is made a GnT, they are put in extensive CQC, and firearm training.

Equipment
Once their training is complete, a GnT allowed the following equipment: a medium kevlar vest, a SMG or semi automatic rifle, a low caliber sidearm, a combat knife, knee and elbow guards, and a gas mask that lets everyone know their rank. Also once a G's training is complete they are assigned to a squad and go on patrol.

Permissions
A GnT has no special permissions, and take orders from low command or higher, or any rank above them if no command unit is present.

Patrols
Normally GnT's patrol the areas on the outskirts of settlements with a squad that usually consists of: five (5) GnT's, two (2) Advanced Grunts (GnA's), one (1) Elite Grunt (GnE), and one (1) Petty Officer (PfC). These patrolling squads look for potential threats to the nearby settlement(s), such as: bandits, The Independent Remnants members, mutants, etc.
