This will allow you to conserve manpower and to keep your fighting units at the front lines, instead of retreating them to base to reinforce. Use this ability to reinforce weapon crews, veteran infantry squads, and expensive-to-reinforce squads like Guards Rifle Infantry and Shock Troopers. The free squads you receive all have the Merge ability. Finally, you will be able to call in Penal Battalions that come equipped with better rifles, can throw explosive satchel charges, and may be upgraded with flamethrowers.

As you gain experience during the mission, these will be replaced by Frontoviki squads that can be upgraded with PPSh submachine guns. In most missions in the campaign, you will have the option to call in infantry squads for free.
