Euruskan Shield Officer
Description
The Shield Officer is a heavy Euruskan soldier who will retaliate against players who destroy the Eurasian communications tower on Mech Trenches and the helicopter on Frozen Swamp. He will spawn with a squad of 5-6 armored, MG-34 wielding Euruskan soldiers. The Shield Officer will spawn shortly after the player completes a Theater of War objective that hinders Eurasian or Euruskan operations.
Location
Strategy
The Shield Officer behaves like a HunterKiller OrgaMech and will attempt to melee any unit that gets too close. He will track the player for the duration of the raid.
The following actions can initiate the Officer's spawn:
- Destroying the comms tower on Mech Trenches (requires 1 explosive)
- Destroying the helicopter on Frozen Swamp (requires 1 explosive)
- Destroying the bridge on Ashen Mesa (requires 4 explosives)
Fire 7 railgun shots at him to disable him.
Once he is downed, the Officer will have a drillable container, which includes his own Codex.

Trivia
- Despite being named as the Euruskan Commander in released concept art, the Shield Officer is different from the Commander who spawns with Toothy.
- Given the unit's unique spawn conditions, it is possible for the player to trigger the Shield Officer and regular HK units, such as the Europan EOD Hunterkiller.
- Upon spawning, a boss camera animation will play and show where the Shield Officer spawns. The Shield Officer can be seen beating a Eurasian Crawler against its shield before discarding it and heading into the map; the player is not vulnerable during this animation. An on-screen text warning similar to other HK warnings will then display.
- The Russian inscription on the fish on the Officer's shield reads "Time for lunch."
