Airborne Division Flanktrooper

== Overview ==
Airborne Division Flanktroopers, colloquially known as the Bomberboys, are the airborne infantry division of the Iron Coalition. The first battalion is part of the Iron Tactical Response Group under the operational command of the Overseer of Tactical Forces. The other battalions are the airborne infantry component of the Iron Horde's Onslaught Formation, 12th Air Assault Brigade. The division, along with Onslaught Troopers, are the only line infantry divisions of the Iron Horde that have not been amalgamated with another unit since the end of the 1st Battle of Bulwark.
The division was formed following the 1st Battle of Saltstraumen, and eventually raised 15 battalions. These battalions took part in six major air assault operations in the Parent Coast, Gulf Of Kemet, Matka Hook, Synovian Desert, Rubik Oasis and the Cherrypick Islands, often landing ahead of all other troops.
=== Equipment ===
==== Personal Flight System ====
In some form or fashion, the flanktrooper has made use of a personal flight system. The original PFS was the Mk1 Jetsuit, developed by Arkham Armory in Y3990. While the suit functioned as intended, it was very delicate, and had low fuel reserves. The flanktroopers of today wear the Icarus PFS, a much more robust platform with a Cinderite-fueled propulsion system.
==== Weaponry ====
While flanktroopers are allowed the use of many requisitioned weapons, their preferred primary arm is the D12 Blade Adder, usually with an integrated Sonic Regression Emitter. Flanktroopers often find themselves conducting clandestine operations, more suitable for close range, high rate-of-fire weaponry. They also deploy with Daxite explosives when needed, should their objective be to destroy a structure or hard target of some kind.
