Due to the rising threat of Communist forces in neighboring Canada, some more troops are being sent to states along the US-Canadian border to assist our allies at a moment's notice if ordered by the President.

In other words, DARPA has contracted the Atlas Corporation, AM General, Oshkosh Defense, Lockheed Martin, and General Dynamics to help improve both the Army and Marines' arsenal of armored fighting vehicles. DARPA is also working with the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) to create a new armor composite for both future and existing AFVs and future naval vessels.
 * Atlas and General Dynamics are to develop a new heavy main battle tank, to be designated the "M62 Bison," to serve alongside the new models of the M1 Abrams and M2 Eisenhower series of MBTs currently entering service. The Bison will also serve as a tank destroyer due to the large caliber of its main gun.
 * Both Oshkosh Defense and Lockheed Martin are to design upgraded versions of their variants of the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV). AM General will do the same with the Humvee.
 * General Dynamics will also design a new self-propelled gun using the main chassis of the M62 Bison.

The Navy and Air Force are getting closer to unveiling and declaring two new fighters, the F-38 Vampire and F/A-40 Coyote, as IOC. They along with the F-36 Raven II will be the newest fighters designed to counter both the Protoss, Soviets, and radical American forces. A newer version of the radical US' F/A-85 Hornet II will be developed and classified as the F/A-41 Hornet II. A newer, much better variant of the Wildcat II will also be developed, but will retain its F/A-71 designation.

And finally, the National Guards of all 56 states in the Union, including the District of Columbia, will be receiving newer additions to their arsenals in the near future. They are already being issued, the recently-declared IOC M1A3 Abrams and will receive new vehicles in the near future.

OOC: Just announcing new vehicles I'm working on at the moment and will post when completed.
