Striker

The recruits who will become Rainbow assault troops, known as Strikers, are the backbone of the organization. Despite what is said internally, they are not just a massive block of identical soldiers. They are generally much younger than our experienced specialists and agents, but that does not make them any less indispensable to the smooth running of our missions. Moreover, there are worse things than excessive enthusiasm, even if some recruits sometimes show a little too much passion in the presence of our elite specialists. Despite the confidential nature of Rainbow's missions, some recruits are known to treat our agents like celebrities, developing their own theories about their actions during various missions and pestering them for details and anecdotes. Because of this and other concerns raised by the specialists, recruits now have their own dining hall and generally only interact with agents directly involved in their training. Although all of these recruits come from the elite of military and counterterrorism institutions, they all know that Rainbow is still a cut above and treat the organization with the respect and discipline it demands.

Although they are not full-fledged agents, many recruits have been through the crucible of battle, such as the survivors of Deimos' attack on the Tower. They showed courage, working effectively with Vigil to shoot down the helicopter that carried out the attack and took so many young lives. As tragic as it was, this event also served as a real-world test, leading one of the survivors, Ram, to become a specialist.
