Usage
- Always include at least one to your infantry squad. Officer provide bigger range of spotting stealth enemys and special bonus to infantry.
- Their grenade like the rifleman's can clear out garrisoned structures.
- Don't send your officers on suicide missions if you have chose to not doing that. If you do so, the rest of squad will be much more prone to attacks of stealth units.
- Their grenades are not very effective against armour, but they can damage it.
- Officer captures key locations much faster than Rifleman, so make sure you include at least one Officer into the infantry squad that are willing to capture something.
- Use in conjunction with a medic and other types of infantry for support.
- Use his Binocular ability to spot hidden enemies or reveal terrain in front of your defenses.
Against Infantry
Can engage enemy infantry with the as effectively as riflemen. Large spotting radius give them a kind of advantage. Can use his rifle grenade to hit clustered enemy units with reasonable damage. Use in prone position to maximize accuracy and range.
Against Vehicles
Can engage only jeeps/trucks but with minimum effect. Can use his grenade launcher to scratch light vehicles.
Against Aircraft
Cannot attack any aircraft nor helicopters, except hovering/landed ones.

How to defend against
- The Officer is weak against any non-infantry unit. Any ground-attack vehicle can take them out easily.
- Even if better in holding small arms than specialized infantry classes he is still weak against machinegunners.
- Clear them if they're in a building with a rifleman's / officer’s grenades, a sniper, a RPO Soldier or by using a Humvee Mk19, BRDM2 or Artillery.
- Defensive structures deal devastating results to infantry.
- Helicopters and Low-flying planes work well against them.
