Biography[]
The current crop of Defense Recruits, also known as Sentries, in Rainbow are undergoing a revamped training regimen and finding their place in an organization that needs their drive, adaptability and resilience. Besides adding bodies to larger-scale defensive missions, Recruits are the foundation of Rainbow. Their ranks may seem faceless and nameless at times, but that won’t last forever, as the organization will often promote from within, drawing a Recruit up into being a Specialist.
While they are made up of a varied group with many personalities, backgrounds, heights, weights, languages and skillsets, there are some commonalities between the Defense Recruits. To succeed in the program, one must exhibit patience, attention-to-detail and a deft ability to communicate clearly and succinctly both prior to and during a mission.
Psychology Report[]
Since the training of the Defense Recruits fell under my purview I created a new series of training modules, specifically designed for the threats Rainbow currently faces in the field. It is imperative that a Recruit masters these training modules before heading into a hot mission. After Emerald Plains and our long journey to capturing Deimos, we ideally need our Recruits to be on an equal footing with the Keres Elite, who are quite clearly receiving expert and well-funded field training. I can only hope that with Deimos under our roof, that edge will dull.
While our experienced Specialists will have their unique gadgets and abilities to help ensure their success, a Recruit given the opportunity to join a mission must showcase a mastery of a variety of weapons. They are not the scalpel; they are the Swiss Army Knife, which is why they bring additional utility into the field to support Specialists.
No matter what some of our more opinionated Operators may say, these Defense Recruits are not all the same; they come from a variety of military and police backgrounds and have distinct goals they are pursuing within the organization. What Defense Recruits all share, however, is a keen focus on hostage protection, and a will to do whatever it takes to complete the mission objective. Do not mistake them for shrinking violets though. With my training, they are learning to be just as aggressive as the Attack Recruits when the situation warrants it.

Gameplay Description[]
Sentry's unique ability is the "Gadget Kit", which allows him to pick any 2 types of defender secondary gadgets to use in the field, with one of them occupying his unique gadget slot. This can lead to multiple different combinations.
- Nitro Cell + Proximity Alarms allow for vertical C4s from bellow, as the user can single-handedly listen to audio cues of the alarm to activate the Nitro Cell underneath;
- Observation Blockers + Bulletproof Camera can be a good combo for disabling electronics without compromising the location of the Camera;
- Deployable Shield + Nitro Cells / Impact Grenades can be good for holding of specific areas

Device Description[]
Thanks to the Recruits' uniform and the size of their kit, they field exercises bringing along two secondary gadgets, rather than the singular one our Ops normally have. And after an executive decision by Mira and Zero, they are now able to select from all of the defensive secondary gadgets, not the limited few we held Recruits prior to this. Sometimes the lack of a Six, and bureaucratic red tape can lead to positive innovations like this. I saw firsthand in a recent module just how useful this double gadget status can be. We were running a quagmire mission exercise, with myself and other Wolfguard Operators locked down on the defensive. Normally, we would be sending two Ops to any entrances -- one to lay some Barbed Wire, and the other to deploy an Observation Blocker to deal with drones an attacking force may be directing our way. However, a Recruit with the right loadout, can do the job by their lonesome. Quite the valuable asset to free up others for more important defensive tasks. While it may not be like having a show-stopping unique gadget in their arsenal, it is pretty damn good and would be quite useful in a hot mission scenario. I won't say no to having that on my Squad.

Trivia[]
- Unlike the rest of the operators in Siege, Striker and Sentry don't have specific identities or backgrounds, with their Operator Bios simply being marked as "Undefined" in any categories that involve the operator's real identity and characteristics. However, in-game, Sentry seems to be an American male, with Striker being a British female.
- Despite being labeled as members of the ROS in their bios, Striker and Sentry use the old phone screen when deploying observation tools, rather than the ROS logo used by Zero.
- Additionally, during the Operator Selection Phase, both Striker and Sentry have their ORG labeled as "Reliable And Available" instead, similar to the old Recruit.
