Description
The Foot Ballistic Rifle infantry platoon of the post-Jihad era is typified by units such as the 513th Infantry Regiment within V Hastati of the Republic Armed Forces. Built in large part around a former Armed Forces of the Federated Suns regiment, the 375th Avalon Rifle Regiment, the ethos of the 513th is very much rooted in the professionalism and dedication of the battalion from the 375th that formed the nucleus of the modern Republican regiment. Capable of using a variety of weapons, the 513th excels in applying rifles to a variety of problems, whether firing en masse or acting as individual sharpshooters. The 513th is also capable of pack and moving out as a formed regiment in just three hours, transporting everything needed for three weeks of operations in the field on their backs.[1]
Armament
Each Foot Ballistic Rifle infantry platoon carries a twenty-eight Auto-Rifles and no support weaponry.[1]
