"Battle-armored infantrymen wear powered suits of armor equipped with various weapons. Clan battle armor troopers, known as Elementals, are organized into 5-man Points. Their individually powered battle suits mount missiles, small lasers and anti-personnel weapons. Because Elemental armor can survive direct hits from BattleMech-class weapons, a single Point of battle armor can often disable or destroy a ’Mech. Clan Battle Armor pilots are also genetically bred to be larger and stronger than normal humans. Elemental battle armor was based off of Clan Goliath Scorpion undersea mining suits.
"Inner Sphere forces also field battle armored infantry in 4- to 6-man squads, depending on faction. Such equipment, though more diverse, remains rare and less powerful than Clan battle armor.
"Most battle-armored infantry soldiers receive extensive anti-’Mech training."1
