NCR Trooper

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

Background
The hammer of the New California Republic, the troopers of the NCR are men and women that have either volunteered or have been conscripted (from NCR territories) to serve in the NCR Military. Whilst they are not the most heavily-armed troops in the Mojave, nor are they the best-trained, they are the most-numerous and ergo the primary fighting force the NCR has. They have superior weapons, such as the Service rifle, and superior armor, such as NCR armor when compared to most any other faction in the Mojave wasteland (the Powder gangers, Fiends, Caesar's Legion). In a world with giant killer arthopods, drug-addicted psychopaths, and mutated horrors, the troops of the NCR are more than just soldiers. Their steadfast determination in the face of a hostile world and the ongoing war against Caesar's Legion have earned them admiration and respect - many individuals from in and around New Vegas and the surrounding Mojave Wasteland have joined the NCR in its campaign to hold the strategically-vital Hoover Dam at all costs. Anywhere the NCR operates in its campaign to annex the entire Mojave region, these soldiers come to the fore. They are hated enemies of numerous factions, including the Fiends and Powder Gangers. They are hostile towards the Brotherhood of Steel as well, in no small part due to the conflict over HELIOS One.

While their health and skill are strictly average, their NCR armor offers superior protection to the armor worn by the basic foot soldiers of almost all other rival factions, with the obvious exception of the Brotherhood of Steel. Their standard-issue service rifles also offer superior firepower compared to the firearms used by most other factions. A squad can lay down suprising amounts of fire with these quick firing rifles.
