During the First Tiberium War, both GDI and Nod used rocket soldiers as a basic anti-armour unit. Although GDI replaced these kind of infantry with Disc Throwers, Nod continued using rocket launcher armed infantry for that purpose. They were replaced by the cheaper but less trained Militant Rocket Squad in the Third Tiberium War. Just like the Nod Light Infantry, they wore advanced Nod combat armour and the iconic Nod advanced helmet. Their missile launchers also gave them an advantage the discs their GDI counterparts didn't have, the abillity to shoot air units.
