The humble worker is perhaps the GLA's most important unit.  First and foremost, they are cheap and expendable.  More versatile than the other factions' resource gatherers, the worker also replaces expensive and vulnerable construction dozers.  Being smaller than a dozer, he can repair defenses and structures in a crowded battle-space.  A base with a formidable defense can be quickly created by several workers building separate structures simultaneously, then returning to resource gathering when done.  No power is needed; so the time, resources and space required to build power stations does not apply to the GLA.  There is also no need to worry about defenses going "offline" due to mismanagement or the loss of a power station.

Unconventional means to fight an unconventional war is key to success for the GLA.  A head-to-head battle with like-type units is sure to fail.  
Speed, resourcefulness and improvisation are the GLA's most important strengths.  "Unconventional means to fight an unconventional war" is key to success for the GLA.  A head-to-head battle with like-type units is likely to fail. Utilize the speed advantage of GLA mechanized units for quick hit-and-run attacks.  Upgrades for Technicals, Quad Cannons and Marauder Tanks are obtained by scavenging parts from defeated mechanized units.  Additional upgrades can be obtained for these and other vehicles, at a reasonable price, from the Black Market.  An anonymous benefactor is willing to pay cash for each enemy unit eliminated.
 
Want an Overlord, Paladin, or any other enemy vehicle?  Just steal one with a Hijacker; or, Jarmen Kell can snipe the driver, which disables the vehicle making it available for capture by any friendly troop.  No friendlies nearby?  A Rebel Ambush can instantly remedy that situation.
Zip a worker behind enemy lines inside a Technical to build a Tunnel Network.  Units can enter from any tunnel entrance and emerge at any other tunnel in the network.  Also, a unit in trouble can quickly duck into a nearby tunnel and emerge in full health.  Several units can wait inside the Tunnel Network and dispatched to a trouble spot on a moment's notice.  A Rebel Ambush is available to be dispatched anywhere on the map (two additional levels provide larger groups).  With Camouflage upgrade (Palace), Rebels can lurk unnoticed inside an enemy's base, waiting for your orders at just the right moment.
