Basic Unit list drawn from Bradley's 2.0 arsenal. Some units will be added for flavor, including these units:
Marine:
Replaces Ranger
The US Marines, based off of the US Navy, is designed for power projection. Subtle is typically not in the doctrine of the US Marines, who compared to their Ranger brethren, trade covert ops for firepower. Armed with an LMG rather than an assault rifle, Marines are the most powerful basic infantry on the battlefield. They make up for this with more cost, and less mobility, however. They also cannot participate in covert raids.
M113 Vulcan
Replaces Humvee and Avenger
General Brown generally does not like to use high tech lasers, feeling that they are fragile and prone to failing in hardened battle conditions and weather conditions. He prefers instead to use the venerable M113 APC, specifically the M163A1 which trades transport capabilities for a very powerful M61 Vulcan. With a similar range to the Avenger, it just so happens to be more effective at shredding enemy aircraft. However, it is less accurate than the avenger, and while it does have much more armor, it also does not have Anti-Missile systems.
Unlike the Avenger, the M163 can also use its anti-air weapon for ground support. It is highly inaccurate, but provides effective ground support against infantry and very light vehicles.
Phalanx CIWS
Replaces Cyclops
The Phalanx CIWS was used earlier in the 21st century on many naval boats. It is still used today to complement Cyclops Laser Turrets on many NAU Floating Fortresses, however only as a backup. General Adam, since he is often up-close and personal with enemy forces, does not prefer to ship in expensive laser parts that requires large amounts of maintenance. He instead prefers to use the old Phalanx in his bases. These use less power, and have an equivalent firepower owing to its high rate of fire. However, it is also more inaccurate than a laser, and also does not have quite the range.
