The Tieren Ground Type is the stable for HRL ground assault forces. They were eventually replaced with more improved variants of the Tieren design and ultimately replaced by the GN-X series during the conflict with Celestial Being. The Gundams devastated these mobile suits during their battle in Ceylon.

Combat Characteristics
At nearly twice the mass of the Gundam Virtue, the mainstay mobile suit of the Human Reform League is comparable in design to a bipedal tank, markedly less advanced and less maneuverable than the mass-production types of the other major powers. Though the unit's heavy armor and firepower are relics from an older generation of combat vehicles, the preservation of these throwback features translates to practical dependability in general-purpose warfare, the reasoning behind its continued deployment. A number of purpose-specific variations and custom types exist. The Tieren's cockpit is screenless and relatively cramped. The piloting display is head-mounted.
Armaments
200 x 25 mm Smoothbore Cannon
One amongst the selection of standard solid-round firearms available to the Tieren. The barrel is fixed with a 12.7 mm coaxial machine gun and two heat sink sword bayonets of sufficient resilience for use as a weapon in close-quarters combat.
30 mm Machine Gun
Machine gun mounted in the orange panel before the left shoulder joint.
Carbon Blade
A low-cost melee weapon resembling a katar, but with a double-ended bow-shaped blade that parallels the grip. Its performance in battle is inferior to that of a sonic blade. Normally docked on the panel behind the waist when not in use.
Shield
A prominent plate shield normally docked to the front of one of the unit's lower legs, extending upwards to the hip. Two smaller shields are mounted onto each shoulder.
