Riot Shield Squad

Riot Shield Squad is an air support option available in the Survival Mode of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. 3 GIGN squad members with Riot Shields and MP5s will drop in via helicopter.

If they are knocked down in close combat (say, by a dog or charging enemy) but rescued by the player, they will retain their MP5 but drop their shield.

Tactics
Riot Shield Squads are useful for defending open areas or distracting Juggernauts. They are roughly as strong as a tier-3 AK-47 soldier and will follow either player around. These Squads are good at soaking up damage and act as a meat shield for you and your support. They can suffer from friendly fire so make sure to aim above or around them.

You cannot use the Riot Shield Squad in conjunction with the Delta Squad, but if there is a second player playing they can call in for Delta Squad while the Riot Shield squad is still in play. It is inadvisable to place Sentry guns near them as they have a habit of being caught in the line of fire. placing them in areas with little maneuverablity will cripple their combat effectivness, as they can be shot easily when in close quarters or changing direction.
