Assault Squads (ASM) are Space Marine jump infantry units equipped with heavy armor, jump packs and close-combat weapons. Their jumping entry provides good disruption and they murder any ranged infantry, but lose to proper melee specialists. The grenade upgrades allow them to support anti-vehicle and anti-garrison actions.

The most expensive tier 1 unit in the game
Damage output is medium, and can take ranged fire fairly well, doing nicely in situations where melee participants are being shot at
Especially good synergy with the Apothecary
Facing melee specialists (only dedicated melee though, as in worthless range and extreme melee damage) requires ranged support and using abilities
