Demolition Troopers are members of the Galactic Federation who are outfitted with explosive weaponry for special missions. While capable of destroying the strongest of barriers, they are not very good at combat, due to lighter armor, and often rely on others to cover them while in battle. When the only way to the objective is straight through an obstructing object, Demolition Troopers are called upon to make it happen. They seem to have weaker versions of the Galactic Federation Marine's assault rifles. Their explosives are carried on their back.
In Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Samus is charged with watching over twelve Demolition Troopers after she disables the Pirate Homeworld's defense system. These Troopers will clear a path to the Phazon Seed. Meanwhile, Samus must defend the Demolition Troopers from Space Pirate attacks. Four of the twelve Demolition Troopers are required for the final door. If there are less than four surviving, Samus will get a game over. The easiest tactic for getting the Troopers through to the end is to go right up in the face of the Space Pirates so that they can't shoot around Samus, and then for her to kill them at point-blank range.
