The safe role answer
The official feature material names Command, Infantry, Recon, Armour, Mortar Squad and Helicopter units as the broad role groups. Public official pages in the supplied material do not agree on a single total role count, so this page does not turn that conflict into a definitive number. The group structure is the reliable part of the answer. It is enough to guide a first role choice without a disputed total.
That is enough to make a first decision. Read what the squad needs, then choose the group whose battlefield purpose fits that need. A role page should explain the task a player can support, not force every player into a permanent tier list.
Command and infantry groups
Command sits at the level of directing the team or squad structure described by the official page, while Infantry represents the direct ground presence in the objective area. The supplied sources do not provide a complete current loadout table for every named role. This guide therefore keeps the explanation at group purpose and avoids invented weapon or ability lists.
For a new player, the useful distinction is whether you are helping the squad see, move, hold or pressure the objective. Choose an infantry-oriented task when you need to learn the ground loop, and pay attention to how communication changes the group’s next move. Exact role selection should follow the live squad screen.
Recon, armour and mortar groups
Recon, Armour and Mortar are named as distinct groups in the official material, which signals different ways of supporting the battle beyond a basic infantry push. The sources collected for this page do not establish a complete role roster, range table or damage chart. Those details are intentionally left for a source that can confirm the live build.
Use the group name as a question, not as a promise. Ask what the squad is trying to observe, move, suppress or support, then check the current role description and squad communication. That keeps the choice tied to a visible objective instead of a speculative “best class.” The live squad screen is the final check for the available class.
US helicopter units
The official feature page identifies fully operational US helicopters as a Vietnam system used for fire support and supply drops. It also lists helicopter units in the role structure. That connects the aerial role to team support, not just personal mobility or sightseeing.
A helicopter role should be read alongside the helicopter guide because the supplied flight material recommends a practice-first approach. Exact keybinds, aircraft limits and success rates are not published here. Learn the task from the current game and use the role group to understand who benefits from the support.
Why this page omits a role count
Public official pages in the supplied material report different role totals. Because the request requires uncertain information to be removed, this page reports the shared groups and not a disputed total. That is more reliable than picking one number without resolving the source conflict.
The same rule applies to an exact class list, named perks and a universal beginner ranking. When an official live page publishes a reconciled roster, it can be added with a date and source. Until then, choose the role that answers the squad’s current need.
