Oofian Grunt

Oofian grunts were poorly armed and trained Oofian footsoldiers in the early days of the Oofian War.

Equipment
Oofian grunts were usually poorly equipped with wooden or stone weapons, often times even using their fists. Bows were also commonplace among more trained grunts. Some grunts who found tridents were allowed to use them on the battlefield. Grunts who found tridents were the most dangerous to Noopian Armed Forces members, and inflicted the most losses upon them in the early stages of the war.

Early Oofian war
Oofian grunts were primarily used in the early days of the Oofian War, where Oofia had next to no resources to spare for the war effort. These soldiers held no official rank in the Oofian Army, and were considered to be expendable as there was many of them. While they did not have an official rank in the Oofian Army, they were split into two groups, which were the regulars and elites. Most regulars went on to become enlists in the army, while most of the the elites went on to fill various specialist and officer roles.

Decommission
Oofian grunts were phased out slowly as the Oofian Army gained access to more resources. Grunts who survived the early days of the war were given proper equipment and training, as well as an official rank. The rank they became depended on various factors. Most grunts became privates, however some exceptional grunts were allowed to advance early in the ranking system, and elites were given officer and specialist positions.
