105	!!Drill Sergeant[=/=]Colonel
106
107	* CoolShades: Wears one when he becomes a colonel.

147	%%* SirSwearsALot
148	* SociopathicHero: Downplayed. He's friendly to his fellow US[=/=]ARVN soldiers, but when it goes to the NVA[=/VCs=], he's pretty much PayingEvilUntoEvil. [[spoiler:Best exemplified in the VC campaign's ending, where he orders Minh and all the dead VC soldiers to be buried along with their victims]].

164
165	!!Tommyboy
166
167	%%* CommunicationsOfficer
168	* TagalongKid: He's not a member of Boone's team, and merely acting as a liaison between them and the MACV high command. There's a reason why Boone calls him "boy scout".
169	* TooDumbToLive: Tries to attack a fleeing VC squad and charges into an open field '''with absolutely no cover, completely exposing him to sniper fire.''' If it wasn't for Cobber, he would've bled to death.

187	* TheNeidermeyer: He's in charge of a failed mission (depicted in the intro) near the DMZ which ends with his marines either getting shot by the [=VCs=] or blown up by minefields and [=RPGs=]. Boone, who participated (and gets wounded) in said mission, hates him so bad that he filed a complaint and he almost got court-martialed. Cobber seems to hate him as well.
188	-->'''MACV soldier''': Rivalry between army and marines. The marines swept it under the table.
189	%%* SirSwearsALot
190	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Not seen or mentioned again after the second game's ninth level.
191
192	!!Mai Van Minh

199	%%* DemolitionsExpert
200	* KnightTemplar: Gets dangerously close to this trope as the VC campaign progresses.
201	%%* TheLeader

250	!!NVA Hero
251
252	* AllThereInTheManual: Game files, not to mention his class's description in the multiplayer mode identified him as a "hero of the revolution".
253	* BigBad: The closest the US campaign gets to one, being one of the remaining officers who were (probably) in charge of the NVA and VC forces in Hue.
254	%%* BossInMookClothing
255	* FinalBoss: Bonus points for being the very last enemy fought in the US campaign.
