The militant rocket squad was Nod's anti-aircraft and anti-vehicle infantry during the Second Nod Reunification War and the Third Tiberium War.

Background[edit | edit source]
Nod militants were recruited by the hundreds of thousands from the desperate populations of Yellow zones[1]. Rocket militants in particular were chosen based on former military or partisan experience. They wield Airburst rocket launchers, capable of destroying aircraft and even armored vehicles[2].
The rocket squads are easily recognizable by their red ponchos emblazoned with Nod's emblem, along with red hoods and white scarfs covering their faces.
Abilities[edit | edit source]
 |
Call for transport | If an Air Tower is deployed, Militant rocket squads can call in a Carryall for pickup for a small fee of $200. This ability has a 2 minute cooldown. Unavailable to the Black Hand. (Ctrl+A). |
Upgrades[edit | edit source]
 |
Confessor upgrade | Adds a confessor to the squad, increasing firepower and adding the automatically used Hallucinogenic grenade ability (Nod only) (Ctrl+A). | This upgrade costs $1000 and takes 0:30 to research. |
 |
Black Disciple | The Black Hand faction gets the Black Disciple upgrade instead, which adds a Black Hand trooper instead of a confessor. This gives the Rocket Squad a short range anti-infantry defense and ability to clear garrisons (Ctrl+A). | This upgrade costs $1000 and takes 0:30 to research. |
 |
Tiberium infusion | Tiberium Infusion adds a 10% health bonus, 25% speed bonus, and immunity to Tiberium to Militant Rocket Squads, and also changes their gun armor to 100%. (Ctrl+S). | This upgrade costs $1000 and takes 0:30 to research. |
In-game[edit | edit source]
They are marginally effective against other infantry and can easily be killed by rifleman squads, grenadiers, or buzzers. Anti-Infantry specialists such as sniper teams can eliminate entire regiments of them without too much trouble. The best way to use them is in garrisoned buildings or from ambushes. Otherwise, they don't stand much of a chance.

- Tiberium Wars patch 1.05:
- speed increased by 20%
