Dracnea
Snake women. These are the backbone of the monster armies of Greek Mythology, excellent in defensive situations thanks to their shields and long spears.
In the GAC, they are the backbone of the armies, providing everything from tank support to holding the line with Hydras, their anti-tank oriented sibling.

Armament[]
M4A2 (3)[]
The most iconic western weapon of the late 20th/early 21st century, the M4 Carbine is a tried-and-tested rifle firing 5.56mm x 45mm rounds. Accurate, lightweight, and effective against personnel, its relatively light round is lackluster in armor penetration. Many Carbines are equipped with holosights, reflex sights, or 1.5x magnification optics.
M320 40mm (1)[]
The M320 is a tried-and-tested 40mm underbarrel grenade launcher, commonly used with the M16/M4 series of rifles. The weapon can put out an HE grenade accurately up to 100m meters away. Effective against bypassing/destroying cover. Used by the Squad Leader.
Upgrades[]
M16A4 (1)[]
The M16A4 is can provide accurate long-range firepower in volleys, making it not much different for enemy infantry who walk into the fire of a machine gun. The rifle is set in 3-round burst mode most of the time, which reduces the waste of ammunition. Equipped with a high-powered magnified scope, the weapon can serve as a DMR.
M249M2 SAW (1)[]
To provide effective anti-personnel suppressive firepower, Dracnea can obtain a single M249A2 SAW, a light machine gun firing the same ammunition as the M4. Drawing on a belt from a 200-round magazine, the weapon can put out 600 rounds a minute up to 1000m meters away.
AT-4[]
For anti-vehicle firepower, Dracnea can deploy disposable AT-4 84mm rocket launchers. The AT-4's HEAT warhead is capable of penetrating 500mm of RHAe, able to defeat light armor. However, the weapon's massive backblast is a problem when fired from enclosed positions. Allocates each squad member one AT-4.
Protection[]
Being higher-value backbone infantry, Dracnea get PASGT/IOTV/MTV armor (with SAPI inserts) and old US Army Universal Camouflage Pattern fatigues. They provide them with protection from shrapnel and rifle ammunition.
Upgrades[]
None.
Mobility[]
Dracnea march on their feet, and due to being higher-value infantry, they almost always get mechanization.
Upgrades[]
None.
