The SL is awarded based on the total surviving number of soldiers at the end of a successful mission.
[edit] Grenadier(G)
The grenadier is the heavy weapons specialist of today's squad based Army. He has third priority to be a medic. He carries up to 7 High Explosive grenade rounds for the M203, which is used to take out enemy personnel. A well-trained grenadier is capable of firing grenades through windows or even use the grenades as an effective close-range slug. The M203's rounds have a fuse to prevent detonation at close ranges after the grenade has left the barrel. A standard grenade loadout would be 0 to 1 fragmentation grenades, 1 to 2 smoke grenades, and 1 to 3 flashbangs.
[edit] Automatic Rifleman(AR)

Each AR carries four 200-round magazines, which can be used for suppressive fire and taking out enemy at longer ranges over extended periods of time. A standard grenade loadout would be 1 to 3 fragmentation grenades, 1 to 2 smoke grenades, and 1 to 2 flashbangs.

Advanced Marksmen must pass a multitude of rigorous tests in order to use the rifle in combat. A well-trained sniper can easily kill any soldier, mobile or immobile, in various positions difficult for an amateur sniper.
