G.R.I.D

An elite force seperate from the standard Remnant army, G.R.I.D - the Groundside Recon & Infiltration Division - is tasked with the most dangerous operations deep within enemy lines on the Frontier. They're given the best equipment and training, the rest is handled by them. Despite their name "Infiltration Division", G.R.I.D has proven to be an aggressive frontline spearhead, much like the Order Alliance's own Shock Trooper divisions.
==Infiltration Division==
===Command Structure===
G.R.I.D follows a seperate command structure then the standard Remnant army. They create and follow their own missions and operations as they see fit, to damage and hamper Order operations behind lines on the Frontier. The only orders they follow outside the Division - as G.R.I.D is commonly called - is from the highest ranked soldiers in the Remnants, Guardians they're known by.
Because of their chain of command, G.R.I.D has much more flexibility and freedom of movement then their frontline counterparts.
===Uniform===
The G.R.I.D uniform is a lightweight and flexible armour designed for recon and other covert operations. It's comprised of a lightweight vest with small reinforced armour plates slotted behind to protect the ribcage and vital organs. Over the top is a light jacket lined with pouches and pockets for carrying various peices of equipment and ammunition.
The arms and legs are covered by a thin plating of armour, and thickly plated boots (the same thickness as the vest's plating) for mobile protection. G.R.I.D opertives are also supplied a cloak, which is coloured and textured to match surroundings. It's made of a tough synthetic material that can survive and protect from shrapnel and debris thrown up by explosives.
For headgear, G.R.I.D soldiers often wear a facewrap and hood to further conceal themselves. Full helmets are not issued, because frontline soldiers need them more then behind-the-lines spec ops, and they can muffle senses like hearing and smell that can be vital in their line of work. The only expection is the Heavy Assault variant of the armour.
The Heavy Assault variant, as is commonly known by G.R.I.D personnel, is a bulky yet highly resiliant if heavy suit of reinforced armoured plating and kevlar. It is capable of withstanding devastating amounts of small arms fire, and even some explosives. Instead of standard cloaks and facewraps used by lighter infiltraitor-clad soldiers, Heavy Assaulters are given a full helmet including a built in visor and rebreather which can be strapped and secured to the suit.
===Armament===
G.R.I.D armament isn't too different from the standard Remnant army's. Both use more or less the same assigned equipment such as the Mark-II Valkyrie assault rifle, or AM-35 SG-SRS rifle.
==Protocols==
There are several protocols in place within G.R.I.D to help protect both the soldier's ID and families outside of the Division and to safeguard sensitive information. Breaches in these security protocols can result in a varity of punishments depending on the soldiers rank and how active they have been. They will either be discharged from the Division, held and interrogated as likely Order spies or be discreetly removed and classed as "MISSING IN ACTION".
They're also tasked to eliminate anyone who is deemed an Order spy within the ranks of the Remnant army. Soldiers are often executed and shown as an example to the others, while higher ranking officers and commanders are quietly removed to avoid suspicion: in a lot of cases, G.R.I.D opertives have them suffer accidents.
