The value is matched against the object categories, which accept either the short token or the longer editor description and ignore case. A value matching neither spelling discards the stored category and leaves the type uncategorized.
An InfantryType categorized Civilian is left out of the cameo list on the dropship loadout screen a scenario opens when its [Basic] StartingDropships is above zero — and only on the fallback list that screen builds when the scenario declares no AllowableUnits of its own.
Nothing else consults the category.
