South American rebel soldiers

The Rebel Guerrilla Soldiers are a rebel faction in South America fighting for governmental control. The local government in that area has hired the Pieuvre Armement PMC to fight off the advancing rebels. The rebel guerrillas are more experienced in combat than the Militia Soldiers in the Middle East and have more advanced weaponry as well as uniforms that each soldier wears. Given that they lack the use of SOP however, that leaves them in a large disadvantage against the Pievre Armement PMC forces and they've shown expressions of fear and panic at numerous occasions during the battles, especially when encountering Laughing Octopus.

Solid Snake can either ally with or make enemies of the Rebel Guerillas depending on his actions on the battlefield. However, thanks to Laughing Octopus's actions, Solid Snake's relationship with the soldiers are at best neutral.

Equipment
The Rebel Guerrilla Soldiers are seen using PKMs, M10s, G3A3s, sawn-off shotguns (Twin Barrels), C4 explosives, grenades, and LAW mini rocket launchers. They utilize GSR pistols as a sidearm similarly to the PMC soldiers. They wear red berets, DPM and/or leaf camouflaged tactical pants and shirts, leather gloves, green scarfs, balaclavas, boots, tactical vests with radios, and often times harnesses with bullet/ammunition belts around their chests. To enter the Vista Mansion, the rebels use a bulldozer for cover and to smash through the gates.



Background
Judging by the fact that they wear red berets and arm sashes, they are likely communist, and favor the old regime over the current one. When the current regime seized power they were either stripped of their ranks or left of their own accord. The vast majority of them were in the army when the old regime implemented the SOP system. With the regime change, and the current nanomachines in their bodies, the system expunged their IDs. Hence, they can't use ID guns and fight with naked guns instead, which also leaves the government unable to control their actions through the system. However, since their ID's were expunged from the System, it is unknown how they are effected by Emotive Ammo.

Trivia

 * During the Solid Sun mission, Solid Snake has to travel through a prison camp holding Rebel prisoners in order to advance. Snake also encounters five Rebel soldiers who are about to be executed. If Snake manages to save them, the Rebel Soldiers will return the favor by giving him a Rebel Uniform and unlocked weapons.
