Best Answer

In the US Military, you'd probably be referring to a squad's Automatic Rifleman, who carries the M249 SAW. Each fire team in an infantry squad has one, and their role is suppressive and supporting fire, particularly to lay down covering fire while the other fire team bounds, flanks around, or moves otherwise.
