Rifle Squad: A Lumenic rifle squad is a sub-subunit of a Lumenic infantry platoon, and consists of 8 infantrymen, led by a Caporale. The rifle squad can function as two fire teams of four men, with one group being led by the squad leader, and the second fireteam by a Specialista. Infantry riflemen are usually armed with assault rifles, with the standard issue arm of the Lumenic Army being the Arsenale Reale e Ordinanza S.p.A FC-15. A member of a rifle squad will be equipped with a ML-95 squad automatic weapon, with one or more infantrymen able to act as an assistant gunner, carrying extra ammunition. Two infantrymen with the rifle squad will carry a single disposable PAS-78 or PAS-100 anti-tank weapon, though at times those two men may instead carry a single reloadable 90 mm PAS-90 launcher, with one man acting as the gunner and the second as an assistant gunner, carrying the extra ammunition for the weapon. In addition, one man will have an under-barrel grenade launcher for his FC-15 rifle. Some experimentation has occurred with equipping the squad’s grenadier with a standalone grenade launcher, such as the LG-21, but has not become standard practice.
Infantry squads are generally transported by either the Falco or Passero Infantry fighting vehicles, being assigned to armored and mechanized infantry formations respectively, or the Aquila-VI || Armoured personnel carrier in the case of motorized infantry units.

Warrant Officer
In the Lumenic Army, warrant officers are known as sottufficiale and are considered to be non-commissioned officers, outranking the senior-most enlisted ranks, as well as officer cadets and officer candidates, but below the officer grade of C‑1. They are primarily utilized to handle the upper administrative tasks of the Lumenic Army, serving as senior non-commissioned officers at the brigade and division level.
Sottufficiales are often employed in highly skilled, single-track specialty roles. In general, the Lumenic Army utilizes Sottufficiales in two ways; as aviators and technical specialists. Sottufficiales aviators will command both fixed wing and rotar wing aircraft, as well as lead, coach, train, and counsel subordinates. In some cases, a Sottufficiales may also command detachments, units, activities, vessels, aircraft, and armored vehicles. A Sottufficiale technical specialist would be primarily tasked to serve as a technical expert, providing valuable skills, guidance, and expertise to commanders and organizations in their particular field.
One special exception to this general rule is the rank of Maresciallo dell'esercito or Marshal of the Army, who serves as the senior most non-commissioned officer in the Lumenic Army. The Maresciallo dell'esercito is appointed to serve as a spokesman to address the issues of enlisted soldiers to all officers, from other Sottufficiales and Sottotenente's to the Army's highest positions. in effect making the Maresciallo dell'esercito the senior most enlisted advisor to the Generale dell'esercito, or the General of the Army. The exact duties vary depending on the Army's current Generale dell'esercito, though much of the Maresciallo dell'esercito's time is spent traveling throughout the nation to various Army posts and facilities, observing training and talking with soldiers and their families.
