NCR Trooper

s are the main foot soldiers for the NCR in the Mojave wasteland during 2281.

Background
The foundation of the New California Republic Army, the troopers are men and women who have either volunteered or have been conscripted to serve in the NCR military as the hammer of the Republic. Their backgrounds, level of training, equipment, and even loyalty vary wildely amongst the thousands of troopers. But what they lack in consistency, they make up for in sheer numbers. The Republic has won many of its wars on that one factor alone. Yet the Mojave Campaign is starting to test the validity of that stradegy when your army is in a defensive posture and spread too thin.

The Republic has been hard pressed to deploy enough troops to the Mojave, where the sheer size of the territory requires a great number of personnel to properly secure it. Whilst a war of attrition against Caesar's Legion continues to eat up soldiers. This has forced the NCR to replace the veterans they lose with under-trained troopers who have been given a crash course in soldiering. Greatly reducing the quality of troops on the frontlines, and steadily lowering the life expectancy of the average soldier in the campaign.

Appearances
NCR Troopers appear in Fallout: New Vegas.
