Motorized infantry is the first stage towards the mechanization of an army. Civilian trucks are readily adaptable to military uses of transporting soldiers, towing guns, and carrying equipment and supplies. That greatly increases the strategic mobility of infantry units, which would otherwise rely on marches or railroads. In practice, armies have found it advantageous to develop trucks to military specifications, such as all-wheel drive, to have vehicles that function reliably in extremes of weather and terrain.
These units are practical to hold strategic targets, such as towns or cities as well as scout missions and support. They are highly adaptable.
Features
The Motorized Infantry Progression Tree Features Three Vehicles:
The U.S. Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) is capable of running on two flat tires while sustaining additional damage to its fuel tank, engine oil reservoir, and coolant systems. A hearty V8 diesel engine is at the heart of the vehicle. Mobile and adaptable, the JLTV is capable of being fitted with additional protection kits which will dramatically increase survivability.
The Russian Kolun transport unit is large. Admittedly not as mobile or speedy as its American and EU counterparts, this vehicle was designed as a combat transport vehicle for the 21st century. Weighing in at 9 tons the Kolun is focused on providing landmine and bullet protection for up to sixteen personnel.
Defined as a light armored recon vehicle but essentially a tank on wheels, the EU LGS Fenek is anything but light. As standard, it is armored against 7.62 mm rounds, and should the mission demand, it is fully capable of being mounted with additional armour. If chemical, biological, or even nuclear attack is headed your way, the air conditioning system will provide refuge for theDefined as a light armored recon vehicle but essentially a tank on wheels, the EU LGS Fenek is anything but light.
