CCA RECRUITS

Recruits or RCT's are the starters or so called "Newbies" in the Combine Civil Authority.

They are un-augmented, and they are a regular citizen with a uniform. Recruits are likely to be scared by resistance members, high ranked units, or any other people that are a threat to them. Occasionally, recruits are considered as a 'backstabbers' or a 'traitors' by the citizen's point of view for applying to serve the Combine. Sometimes, citizens are forced to join the Combine. The Recruits can be rogues and protest against the combines secretly.

The Recruits units are not necessarily a part of the Combine Civil Authority-- well, they do take a part of it, but they can not go outside of the Nexus till they train professionally and get promoted. Thus they are referenced as "citizens in outfits."

Recruits are not allowed to patrol the city unless they get a protocol changed by the Combine Commander or his assistant, but they wouldn't like it, and they won't accept it. The law won't change due to the lack of trust for recruits. The commander would obviously dislike seeing rogue activity occurring that may lead to the destruction of the Combine. The majority of the new units that joined the Combine Civil Authority cannot redeem themselves guns or special melees, types of equipment, or any kinds of explosives(Equipment prohibited from the recruits: MP7, beanbag shotguns, frag grenades, rappel devices and so forth.)

Although they are granted to carry pistols, and stun sticks, It doesn't mean they can't get any weapon authorizations if announced by the Combine Commander; it wouldn't be the best option to ask any high rank for weapon sanctions, you might get demoted or even killed!
