The Human Grunts - often referred to as the Hazardous Environment Combat Unit and it's acronym HECU - are ruthless troopers found throughout Half-Life starting with the chapter We've Got Hostiles!; Tasked with purging Black Mesa of any living creatures, they are merely one of many obstacles the player has to face. Before they settled on their final design, they went through a good few revisions prior to their final design, though they arguably remained the most consistent throughout development.
WARNING: The following article is going through a comprehensive rewrite. Currently it is incomplete and needs more work.

Panthereye render
of note is the un-textured flashlight model and gun models, the gun specifically is likely modelled off a Walther MPL/MPK gun without the back stock
Version 1: The Human Sergeant
This is the earliest model we have. This version of the Grunt has lower quality textures compared to the final model. Additionally, his shoulders are wider and sharper, he has a unique sleeve texture with a US Marine Corps tattoo, suggesting this is who the player would be fighting against. Further more, their vest is merely a harness, with their pouches being more closer to lime than army green. Compared to later revisions, this one has gloves.
Alpha Human Sergeant
Version 2: Gloveless HECU
TO-DO
Version 3: reference(old).smd HECU
Seen in the Half-Life SDK.
Version 4: 0.52 Alpha HECU
The HECU model from the leaked 0.52 Alpha Half-Life build.
Version 5: reference.smd HECU
Seen in the Half-Life SDK, this version of the Grunt seems to be the 0.52 model mapped to the retail textures and skeleton. Along with having numerous UV errors, it is the last to have thin biceps and shoulder guards.
reference.smd HECU
Version 6: Half-Life: Day One HECU
As seen in Half-Life: Day One, this HECU soldier is near completion, as he carries an MP5 and has an alternate head with a beret and scowl. Otherwise, this is almost identical to the retail model.
Day One Gasmask HECU
Day One Beret HECU
Version 7: Retail HECU
The final version of the HECU as seen in the retail build of Half-Life.
