Choose one type of camouflage: arctic, coast, desert, forest, grassland, mountain, swamp, outdoor manmade, or indoor manmade. The soldier gains advantage on Stealth checks while in the chosen terrain while wearing their fatigues. Hustle. The soldier may take the dash, disengage, dodge, help, hide, or search action as a bonus action on each of their turns, but they gain 1 level of exhaustion immediately after doing so. Adaptability.

When the soldier makes a ranged attack while they are within 5 feet of a hostile creature, they do not have disadvantage on the attack roll and their base movement speed increases by 5 feet. Dueling. When the soldier is wielding a weapon in one hand and no other weapons, they gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls with that weapon (included in attack). Disappear. While the soldier is within an object, such as a cardboard box or barrel, and not moving, they are visually indistinguishable from a normal object. Stealth Take-down. When the soldier makes an attack against a creature that is unaware of them and the attack does not have disadvantage, the attack is automatically a critical hit. If the attack has disadvantage, the attack only counts as a critical hit if it hits normally. ACTIONS Handgun. Ranged Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, range 60/600 ft., one target.

[Source]. Certain expert soldiers are trained in intrusion strategies, typically on orders to assassinate a target or retrieve certain information that could be lost with a more straight-forward approach. Infiltrators are typically given extremely sensitive missions with little to no room for error, making otherwise unknown soldiers legends in the eyes of militaries and PMCs.
