Minuteman Veteran (Deluxe and WATM-Only Edition) - Seasoned Minutemen officers with distinct uniforms, weapons expertise, and top-level firearms.

Minuteman Extremist (Deluxe and Far West Minutemen-Only Edition) - Some Minutemen have been pushed to the brink, hardened by years of trauma and loss in the Commonwealth.

Heavy weapon specialists with heavy armor as well, they can give and receive a lot of punishment on the battlefield.

Minuteman Marshal (Deluxe and Far West Minutemen-Only Edition) - Spread out over vast territory, the minutemen do have to maintain a code of conduct and discipline. Minutemen Marshals, senior minutemen who have climbed the ranks, stand ready to do that. Dealing with rogue minutemen and the outside forces that often corrupt its membership, Marshals have to be ready for anything. Wearing impressive armor to signify their unique roles and preferring semi-automatic weapons, Marshals are skilled enough to be able to disarm threats from within and outside the minutemen.

Minuteman Reeve (Deluxe and Far West Minutemen-Only Edition) - Ready to protect settlements from outlaws and raiders, and resolve disputes in settlements through persuasion or force, the Reeve is an important role for the minutemen. They may not start a fight, but Reeves will finish it. Making use of an array of different minutemen weaponry, they are versatile battlefield combatants with solid armor.
Special Unit and Loadout - Recruit Starts at Rank 3, can be applied to soldiers at Rank 3.
Minuteman Pioneer (Deluxe and Far West Minutemen-Only Edition) - Able to endure rugged conditions and quickly determine what environmental conditions can be leveraged to the advantage of a settlement or an outpost, Pioneers are suited to patrol or support outposts in whatever role they are needed. They can certainly fight, too - and the more experienced the Pioneer the more hardy they become in combat. When it comes to weapons, they are not picky as they are experienced scavengers.
Loadout - can be applied to soldiers at Rank 1.
Minuteman Strategist (Deluxe and Far West Minutemen-Only Edition) - The planners and brains behind minutemen operations, strategists are ready to help at outposts in support roles by reviewing intelligence, manning defenses, working out details of assaults and patrols, or participating directly themselves. With able marksmanship, they prefer semi-automatic weapons and are frequently looking for weak points and tactical advantages in a combat situation.
Loadout - Can be applied to soldiers at Rank 1.
Minuteman Tinkerer (Deluxe and Far West Minutemen-Only Edition) - Experts at all things mechanical, the tinkerers can help outposts and settlements by supporting everything from water pumps to generators to defenses.

Loadout - Can be applied to soldiers at Rank 1.
Minuteman Traditionalist (Deluxe and Far West Minutemen-Only Edition) - Nostalgiac scavengers and preservers of Old World traditions, the minutemen traditionalists are jacks of all trades.

Like Pioneers, as they rank up they can withstand even more in combat before giving up the fight and will use any weapon at hand from the minuteman arsenal. They are accustomed to working in patrols or can support a variety of different roles in an outpost.
Loadout - Can be applied to soldiers at Rank 1.
