While its units can unlock a damage-mitigating armor as well as unlock Explosive Overclocking with their Railguns, they lack a tech building that unlocks EMP grenades for Grenadiers (which are very good vs Epics), while said walkers are more expensive and vulnerable to anything that can get close to cripple their legs. Awesome, but Impractical: The Steel Talons sub-faction in Kane's Wrath, which retains GDI's mecha arsenal from Tiberian Sun and Firestorm.By Tiberium Wars, the UN part is all but abandoned, existing more as a formality. Artifact Title: GDI was founded as the United Nations Global Defense Initiative, even as the UN buckles under the global spread of Tiberium, while its remnants are eventually subsumed into the organization.Other vehicles also often feature animal-themed naming, but it does not affect their shape or function and is not even related to the animal being marine/land/flying, such as with the Orca assault craft.

Mammoth is another recurring animal whose name is used for at least four different GDI tanks (plus closely related Mastodon and Behemoth walkers), but holds zero symbolism besides the blaringly obvious meaning that they are big. GDI eagle is a counterpart to Nod's scorpion (and symbolizes their air superiority and use of Kill Sat), but its shape or name aren't used in any design concepts beside Sigil Spam. While this fuels resentment especially among Nod's ranks, in practice GDI still makes use of the old placenames, whether due to persistent national identities in Blue Zones like England, or out of pure convenience. By Tiberium Wars, the various Zones that the Tiberium-wracked world is formally divided into by GDI Tiberium Wars are given bland designations, such as Yellow Zone Y-4 for the Australian Outback. Granted, GDI's leadership had foreknowledge of an Alien Invasion from research into the Tacitus and planned accordingly, but it still wasn't enough on its own. Despite being unaware of the Scrin's true plans or what the Threshold Towers are meant for in Tiberium Wars, GDI is still able to not only make educated guesses about the aliens, but figure out their critical weaknesses from their connection to Tiberium, which proves decisive in wiping them out.

Achievements in Ignorance: Downplayed.

Preferring overwhelming firepower to subtlety, GDI forces have few stealth units. GDI troops utilize both superior armor and firepower, making them typically much more powerful than Nod forces in direct open confrontation, but also more cumbersome and less flexible.

It is capable of instantly deploying vast quantities of well-trained and well-equipped soldiers backed by powerful ground, air and naval assets to any point on the globe, and this in ways that are considerably more organized, advanced, and on a much greater scale than any conventional real-life military force today possibly could. GDI's initial goal was to preserve world order by combating global terrorism, but eventually outgrew its original mandate to become a world superpower. The United Nations Global Defense Initiative (UNGDI), or Global Defense Initiative (GDI), was originally the military wing of the United Nations founded in 1995 in accordance with the United Nations Global Defense Act, passed in order to combat global terrorist groups like the Brotherhood of Nod.
