Item	Description and brief history	Weapon Systems
M1A4 Harrison Main Battle Tank	Named after Kevin Harrison, a member of the Cold Force during the Great Alien War, this tank is a vast improvement over its predecessors. Packing a small on-board fusion plant, this vehicle can drive up to 80 km/h on a paved road. This 4-man vehicle has served in the USSA armored forces since 2024. Covered in 2 inches of reactive titanium alloy plating, there isn't much that can destroy a 'Harry'. Obviously, this vehicles is used for general purposes - i.e. blowing the crap out of the enemy.	One Main Gun, firing varying ammo types. Occasionally, the main gun is replaced with a laser cannon. Two coaxial machineguns, covering 360 degrees around the tank. Other mountable weapons include flamethrowers, mortar launchers, and any other weapon that can be strapped and wired to the hull.
Armored Personnel Carrier	A vehicle designed to get to a destination, stop, disgorge a squad of troopers, and get out. This category covers wheelie APC's as well as helicopters.	Usually a projectile turret or a mounted machinegun of some sort.
Air Ranger Transport Plane - "Dropship"	The "Dropship" recently passed testing phases and has now entered full-scale service. It's capable of Vertical TakeOff and Landing, but most of the time it's used for low-altitude parachute drops. A particularly nasty manuever involves flying over a battlefield and ejecting a hovercraft full of ground troops behind enemy lines.	Generally speaking, none. This isn't a combat plane. However, an enterprising commander once loaded his cargo bay with explosives and dropped a load on a rather large alien installation...
Combat Aircraft	The air support for the USSA ground troops. Since the aliens haven't been able to field many aircraft due to elerium shortages, most aircraft are used for bombing runs on enemy ground troops and installations. Unlike alien aircraft, these use conventional fuel - of which there's plenty, thanks to the newly-prospected Canadian oil fields. This category covers both combat helicopters and jet planes.	Fuel-air explosives, napalm bombs, conventional explosive charges, rapid-fire vulcan cannons - whatever can hit the ground and blow up, basically.
Hovercraft	Ever since the Great Alien War, a large number of these wound up in the hands of USSA forces. Every single one has been retrofitted with a fusion plant similar to that of the Harrison Main Battle Tank. These vehicles can push up to 200 km/h and have a transparent canopy which slides open easily to allow the 10 passengers to exit.	A bolt laser turret on the top of the canopy controlled by an operator from below.
