## Introduction

The **Rebel** is the GLA's basic infantry serving under General Huchum and General Mohmar.

## Overview

These fierce warriors of the GLA fight for a cause they believe is greater than them and worth fighting for and they surely will fight to death.

Although they are pretty much expendable meat for the grinder with low grade equipment, their number and their fighting spirit largely compensate for their lack of training and good armament and a GLA general who knows where to moves his pawns will eventually have the upper hand with a little bit of determination and a good amount of indoctrinated soldiers.

Much like Chinese Red Guards, Rebels are cheap and can be trained in massive numbers so they can be sent to the battlefield and overwhelm the enemy although it is often costly in terms of losses.

However, a Rebel's survivability and firepower can be improved with upgrades such as a camouflage uniform that renders the Rebel stealthed permanently unless attacking and armor piercing bullets that increase his damage output not only against infantries but also against vehicles.

Be careful, though: like most basic infantry units, the Rebel is extremely vulnerable to artillery, contamination and incendiary weapons keep him away from such dangers as much as possible.

## Upgrades

**Camouflage**:

* Rebels become stealthed when not attacking. Available at Black Market at rank 1.

**AP Bullets**:

* Increases the Rebel's damage output by 25%. Unavailable to Dr. Thrax. Available at rank 3 at the Palace.

**Capture Building**

* Rebels can capture enemy or neutral tech buildings except for command centers. Available at GLA Barracks at rank 1.

## Assessment

Pros:

* Very cheap (200$).
* Trained quickly.
* Very effective as a distraction.
* Dangerous in high numbers.

Cons:

* One of the weakest basic infantry unit in *Contra*.
* Defenseless against anti-infantry vehicles and aircraft.
* Near-useless in low numbers.
