The Squad Moves Out, and News Blackout

Frank then looked at Big Dipper, who was under the Level 2 clone's control. "Big Dipper, vanguard?"

Vanguard soldiers could be understood to be scouts or sentries, or could also be understood to be cannon fodder.

An outstanding vanguard could effectively prevent troops from falling into an ambush. They could lock onto a mission target beforehand and attack first to prevent the enemy from attacking or retreating. This was one of the most important positions in the team.

An incapable vanguard might be killed by their teammates, since it would be very easy for them to lead the entire team to their downfall.
