From Summary Section of "Elite Infantry Operations Guide"

Trained using many of the same techniques that were used to shape the ancient Ninja, the Nod Shadows are elite special forces troops capable of infiltrating well behind enemy lines.  Shadows employ stealth, carry rapid-fire weapons that are deadly against enemy infantry, and are equipped with collapsible powered hang-gliders that give them the ability to fly.  The most powerful weapon carried by a Shadow is a bomb incorporating a new type of explosive. Shadows can use these bombs to destroy enemy structures with a single blast.  The chemical composition for the explosive was obtained by espionage, stolen right out of a GDI lab working on next-generation chemical explosives

Excerpt from an intercepted GDI intel FLASH report: "...GDI troops are coming up against their worst nightmare in the field: Teams of stealthy, flying, high-tech ninjas that can destroy entire buildings. Commanders charged with defensive operations are advised to double up on stealth countermeasures and patrols..."

Nod影子小队是精英特种部队，能熟练渗透到敌军防线之后，其训练使用了很多与训练古代忍者相同的技术。影子小队使用隐形技术，装备对敌军步兵致命的速射武器，同时装备了可折叠动力悬挂式滑翔机，给予影子小队飞行能力。影子小队携带的最强大的武器是一枚含有新型炸药的炸弹。影子小队能用这些炸弹一次炸毁敌军建筑。炸药的化学成分是通过间谍行动获得的，是从GDI研究下一代化学炸药的实验室偷来的。
