These MENA (Middle East/North Africa) fighters are veterans of conflict that has raged throughout the region for the best part of the past three decades.
These fighters can be used to represent commanders or sergeants within a squad. All of them carry some kind of status weapons, either purchased or captured from other combatants. These weapons include an AK74SU, M16, M4s and a SCAR-H. One commander has a bullpup PKM, which has been modified to be belt fed via a backpack ammo carrier. These have been spotted in use in Yemen and Syria in particular.
