The Support Specialist is a relatively new kind of infantry recently deployed by the Allies' infantry divisions. In keeping with the "jack of all trades" mentality, they're all trained engineers and field medics. This allows them to lend much needed support on the battlefield, be it making hasty repairs, seizing control of vital enemy structures or (and most importantly) keeping their comrades alive. They carry on their backs a large backpack containing all the equipment necessary for building repairs and capture, being able to execute these task quickly and efficiently. When the need arises, they can also pull out their First-Aid Kit and provide fellow soldiers with medical supplies, healing them so long as they're within range. The Geneva Convention is largely ignored by now unfortunately and many Support Specialists have already lost their lives in the line of duty. They're most vulnerable when healing as they're limited to setting up at their current spot until they're ordered to pack up and move out. Being unarmed, they must always be escorted should the situation intensifies.
