[b]Technical and Historical Notes[/b]

The typical combat Matey of the Alliance forces, the GPCM covers many bases but is a master of none. Alliance units typically use GPCMs to fill out combat squads, preferring to use specialized units for primary roles. As a result, GPCMs tend to be mostly seen in garrison positions.
