Well, GUN is something of a police/military/intelligence community and the Solaris Project would've been considered dangerous and blasphemous the world over if people knew the truth, so it seems completely sensible that Rouge and her team would be undercover. It may even be possible that we didn't see any GUN soldiers other than agents because of either operational or jurisdictional limits. In Valkyria Chronicles 2 for example, the Militia from the last game weren't allowed to fight the Gallian rebels which were comprised of some former soldier because of some constitutional mumbo jumbo. Which is why they had to find a loophole in some military school students. I remember four G.U.N. soldiers in '06 that acted as mission givers to Town Missions 3, 11, 12 and 13. From what we understand from these missions is that both Rimlight Corperation and (elected official?) Lord Regis have required services from GUN.

This could mean that while GUN is indeed an organisation under United Federations command they are not exclusive to the United Federation. Un;less they can be compared to CIA which often snoop outside of America.

All in all I think perhaps G.U.N. may also be a reference to-or based upon-S.H.I.E.L.D. from the Marvel Universe, SHIELD being an American espionage, law-enforcement, and counter-terrorism agency.
