Point man: These guys are all guts and quick reflexes. They're the first into combat and most likely to die. However after enough training and experience that likely-hood dwindles. They navigate and act as scouts for squads or even companies.

Medium Rifleman: The M.R. are the main body of the squad. If you're not looking for any special role and just wanna work with your buddies or need to learn from the more experienced guys then this is the position for you. M.R.' do a lot of filler jobs like demo, capture certain positions, provide backup, etc..

Heavy Weapons: The Heavy Weapons guy puts down a lot of heads to keep his team moving or cover a retreat. They are never the first ones in unless in an urban setting. If you plan to be this guy, plan on spending lots of money on your gun to make it fast and on paint to keep up with the enemy team.

 Sniper: The one shot wonder doesn't quite hold up to the military idea of a sniper but works for what we need them for. In our unit, we send a spotter with lots of ammo to protect the sniper so that he can make his mark on the assigned target. So in actuality our sniper consists of two men and is in fact a team rather than an individual. They are experts in stealth and flanking.

Commander: This guy spends his entire night before the big game sweating and replaying past mistakes and possible future mistakes to ensure that his plan turns into a "Da Vinci" masterpiece. It's his job to make sure that his team knows his plan and is able to execute it while also knowing the back-up procedures in case things turn out for the worse.
