However, while the troopers will follow the player, they cannot be given commands.

Army troopers can appear individually, or in groups as numerous as 13(As seen when arming the missile launchers on [[Exodus]].

If two or more troopers are killed by the player in a row, the rest of the allies will attack the player. During this time, their weapons become so powerful that they can kill the player in one shot.
