The '''Grunt''' is the standard infantry used by all ''[[Battalion Wars (series)|Battalion Wars]]'' nations. Originally named the Rifle Grunt, the first part was dropped in [[Battalion Wars 2|the second game]] so as not to confuse the unit with the similar [[Assault Veteran]]. Despite being the weakest of a nation's units and having no specialized weapons whatsoever, the Grunt is actually able to take out not only enemy infantry, but vehicles as well. This of course takes time, which lowers the [[Speed]] rating, but it is possible to complete a mission with only a single Grunt left.

"Choking down pungent Ghosgene fumes from the moment of their birth, infantry of the [[Iron Legion|Legion]]'s military nation wielded Borkvar Muskettes before they could walk. When not massed on the front lines, they were happiest digging for [[Nerocite]] in the darkest mines of [[Xylvania|Old Xylvania]]."
