| - In terms of unit firepower and strength, the Global Liberation Army is the weakest of the three main warring factions of the GLA War. The GLA lacks the enormous economic resources of the global superpowers America and China, and they have no Air Force to speak of (except for transport aircrafts) but they are arguably the most resourceful faction in the conflict, and they have to be. The GLA compensated for their weakness by buying weapons, ammunition, and spare parts from Black Markets, converting civilian vehicles into combat vehicles (as with the Technical and Battle Bus), assembling vehicles themselves at the Arms Dealer, grab any salvageable leftover from any remains, or activating bounty stash where "anti imperialist" fund can be funneled to the cause with evident of imperialist destruction as compensation. GLA commanders also upgrade some of their vehicles, including Technicals, Quad Cannons and Marauder Tanks with salvaged parts left on the battlefield to bring more deadly effect to the cause. The Global Liberation Army prefers to use stealth, subterfuge and speed to defeat its enemies. Lacking the strength to engage the Americans or Chinese head on, the GLA has learned to master the art of camouflage, traps and disguise. Typical GLA units have weak armour but move quickly, perfect for hit-and-run attacks. The GLA also use their Tunnel Networks to resupply, heal and move their troops out of sight of American and Chinese spy satellites. Another way for the GLA to avoid direct confrontation is to develop long-range strike capabilities. GLA Rocket Buggies can deal considerable damage to enemy units and structure from long distances and can retreat quickly. The GLA can also deploy their long-range SCUD Missiles. Of the three factions, GLA units are generally the cheapest and quickest to train or build. They can therefore be deployed in large numbers to compensate for their lack of armour or firepower, and casualty is less of an issue. In fact, the GLA is notorious for its use of suicide attacks. The GLA can train Terrorists, often at the wheel of a Bomb Truck, who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the cause.
