The vast majority in an organisation like Cobra would be personnel of a more routine variety, but as the organisation grew in size and scope there would be more diversity than just all blueshirts. This is another in my series of Cobra troopers with modest but important functions.

Despite advances in technology and automation, tanks still require crews to operate them - drivers, loaders, gunners and crew commanders. This is not to mention a leadership hierarchy among these personnel. These vehicles and crews together make up Cobra's Armoured Legion, divided into Heavy, Medium and Light Armoured formations. Given the prestige that Cobra Command accords to its armoured strike capabilities (due in no small part due to the occupational hazards endured by the tank crewmen), these troopers wear distinctive uniforms that differentiate them by formation type and from the infantry. While the HISS Commanders (sub-unit leaders and above) may wear the famously distinctive red uniforms, below them - in rank and tank - are the scores of troopers crewing the fighting vehicles in battle. Providing leadership and keeping order and discipline among these troopers are the Non-Commissioned Officers, the backbone of the armoured crews and their units.
This NCO - in a black uniform - belongs to a Heavy Armoured Division. Depicted in one image is the insignia of the Armoured Legion.
