PACKMULE

The Packmule is a subrole of the Footman dedicated to assisting servicemen with heavy gear in combat. By keeping their personal gear light and carrying the equipment of others in a group or even pairing up with a specific battle partner, a brave Packmule can help to turn the tides of a battle by getting ammunition and ordnance to the front, spare parts to a Machine Gunner, replacement armour to a Cavalryman, and other combat amenities to their fellow serviceman. Sometimes, however, they'll just carry the snacks in their squad. A strong back is needed.

Couriers are the fastest, most agile servicemen within the Gold Leaf Army. Due to Bargetown only having a very small amount of radios, patrols in the field use Couriers to hand-deliver messages between squads or run back to Bargetown to deliver a message. Couriers are issued handguns or submachine guns alongside a small pack that includes a harness, climbing gear, mapping tools, and a whistle and flare gun with several flare rounds to communicate at distance.

In town and the field, Couriers are not allowed to use long guns like rifles in their duties and should instead opt for compact firearms like submachine guns, carbines and handguns.

While every serviceman in the Gold Leaf Army goes through a 3 day-long first aid course during peacetimes, Corpsmen are focused entirely on first aid and initial care. Possessing the bare minimum of training when time applies, the Gold Leaf Army trains them to keep their fighters alive. They ensure that troopers are stabilised and protected as patients to be treated back home at the clinic. Most work in pairs or smaller groups to ensure productivity and triage is effective. They are a lighter role, typically issued that of a submachine gun, carbine or sidearm.

In town and the field, Corpsmen should not use long guns like rifles in their duties and should instead opt for compact firearms like submachine guns, carbines and handguns, but if necessary, some Corpsmen will sacrifice some medical equipment to use rifles and small shotguns.

Cavalrymen are fighters specially trained for close-quarters combat, renowned for their fearlessness as they charge straight into battle, bringing the fight straight to the enemy. With advanced breaching expertise, they are armed with submachine guns, shotguns, and pistol carbines. As the most armoured role, they possess ballistic and non-ballistic armour in the form of metal vests, brassards, shinguards, knuckleguards and ballistic helmets, some even getting their hands on non-ballistic shrapnel faceplate attachments for their helmets. Always at the forefront, they are frequently the first to lead bayonet charges on the front lines.

In town and the field, Cavalrymen are not allowed to carry multiple primaries due to weight concerns and should instead opt for a single primary and sidearm to balance out their armour.

Ordnanciers play a crucial role in shifting the momentum of a skirmish. Trained in the use of explosives, they work closely with Disruptors on the battlefield. Outside of Bargetown, they utilise fragmentation, smoke, and gas grenades. During combat missions, they may be issued grenade launchers and sometimes more advanced weaponry such as rocket launchers or flamethrowers. Although rare, some even make use of shockbreach technology, throwing lightning bolts in battle. As very high priority targets, they keep light on their feet with a flak vest or leather chestplate, ballistic helmet, protective goggles and a heavy duty gas mask. In terms of weaponry, they typically take a light primary or handgun alongside their assigned launcher, shockbreach or flamethrower.

Logisticians rarely see the battlefield, and instead they do the important job of keeping the militia supplied by working with the government to maintain the GLA's armoury and Special Storage Catalogue. Almost all Field Officers are also Logisticians, but not all Logisticians are Field Officers—the Ministers of the government can fit this position too. Sergeants and Liaisons are sometimes Logisticians, but this is less common and typically only seen as assistant quartermasters or when there is a significant lack of Field Officers and Ministers in the ranks.
