US Command Squad
All the power in the world is useless unless you can direct it. In the US Army the Officer Corps provides this direction, wielding the men and vehicles of the American war machine with supreme skill to hold back the Invaders. The Junior officers are the closest to the fighting, commanding there platoons and companies often from front lines, extolling their men to keep fighting despite the terror the tripods inflict with their presence and weaponry.
In All Quiet on the Martian Front
The Command Squad is the only unit which you are required to have as a US player, and represents you (yes, you) on the tabletop commanding your units against the Martians.
For the basic stuff, the command squad has a standard move of 6 inches, defense of 5 and an armor of 4, exactly like an infantry squad. You also get rifles for a 15 inch range, single attack with no additional power, so you will basically be useless when it comes to directly fighting Tripods, you don't even get grenades to make assault attacks.
