Info:

Pioneers are essentially a blending of traditional battlefield engineers and heavy infantry. They can provide an extra punch on the battlefield to help give infantry a fighting chance against vehicles and gunships. However, to be effective in these roles, Pioneers must be in cover. They can also plant area defense systems, remove enemy area denial weapons, and even fortify captured Uplinks by calling in air-dropped Sentry Drones. A good commander will have to keep his or her Pioneers well-protected as they have little chance of coming out on top in a firefight with enemy riflemen. They are also armed with the M32 Grenade Launcher and SCARa1 for anti-personnel use.

Soldiers who became Ghosts came from the USMC or elite units such as the US Army Rangers, Navy Seals, Marine Force Recon and Green Berets.
