Jump Troops

Jump Troops are the premier airborne assault infantry of the United States.
== History ==
When many of the Vinland's new recruits pass as only "Grunts," Some are recruited to test experimental weaponry in the USV's secretive Area 52. One of these experimental prototypes is the “Archangel" Jet pack, a cantankerous and arrogant backpack with the power of a Rocket strapped to a soldier's back. The Archangel is Capable of advancing rapidly to the front lines by simply unleashing a burst of propellant and fly over the most difficult terrain. However without proper control, the archangel can fire its user into a concrete wall and effectively shatter his or her bones, OR launch the user into unexpected heights and effectively burn off all the fuel needed to land. few test pilots effectively died, giving it the cruel nickname "Backbreaker."
Nevertheless, The soldiers that DO survive its initial testing have the distinct advantage of speed, unpredictability and unrivaled ability to attack anywhere on the battlefield. Armed with with two M3 "Grease Guns" in both of their hands, the Jump troops do not sacrifice much firepower for mobility and are able to spray their enemies with a hailstorm of bullets from above. Although well capable of holding their own in a gun fight, the Jump Troops rarely engage the enemy in a conventional shoot out. Instead, they seek to take objectives through lightning fast, crippling raids and then hold them with grim determination until relieved by the main republic army.
Tactical flexibility is the Jump troops greatest advantage over other forces, and there are few tactical situations like a well drawn out siege, that the Jump Troops cannot counter quickly and effectively. Many Vinland and Federal generals owe their decorations to the bravery and wild actions of the Jump Troop regiments.
