US Armed Forces Arsenal

Note: This is a remake of the Original US Armed Forces military arsenal used in my both Fanfiction series, GATE: Thus the JTF Fought Here! and GATE: Thus the Alliance liberates the Avatar World, which will features various equipment and weapons used by the US Military personnel in both Falmart and Earthrealm.



The United States Armed Forces are the military forces of the United States. The armed forces consists of six service branches: the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard and later the Space Force in 2019. The president of the United States is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and forms military policy with the Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS), in both federal executive departments, acting as the principal organs by which military policy is carried out. All six armed services are among the eight uniformed services of the United States.

From their inception during the American Revolutionary War, the U.S. Armed Forces have played a decisive role in the history of the United States. They helped forge a sense of national unity and identity through victories in the First Barbary War and the Second Barbary War. They played a critical role in the American Civil War, keeping the Confederacy from seceding from the republic and preserving the union. The National Security Act of 1947, adopted following World War II, created the modern U.S. military framework. The Act established the National Military Establishment, headed by the secretary of defense; and created the United States Air Force and the National Security Council. It was amended in 1949, renaming the National Military Establishment the Department of Defense, and merged the cabinet-level Department of the Army, Department of the Navy, and Department of the Air Force, into the Department of Defense. 

The U.S. Armed Forces are one of the largest military forces in terms of personnel. They draw their personnel from a large pool of professional volunteers. Although military conscription has been used in the past, it has not been used in the U.S. since 1973. The Selective Service System retains the power to conscript males, and requires that all male citizens and residents residing in the U.S. between the ages of 18–25 register with the service. 

During the Sadera-Japanese War of 2015, the US Armed Forces decided to send their troops to Japan and to reinforce their JSDF Allies alongside with two of their allies in NATO which comprised of United Kingdom and France calling their Military coalition as the Joint Task Force or JTF, the US were responsible for supporting Japan's counter-offensive against Saderans by providing Military assistance and providing humanitarian support for the Native inhabitants of the Falmart. Thanks to their military superiority, they were managed to save the whole JTF by eradicating the Arachnid swarms in the aftermath of the Saderan Civil War. 

In 2017, the US Armed Forces assisted Japan once again on their crusade agains the Fire Nation, only this time they will provide a Military support for Avatar Aang and his allies upon learning the Air Nomad Genocide and other atrocities of the Fire Nation. The Americans (unlike in GATE canon) they were permitted to be included due to the good relationships between President Ben Asher and PM Motoi Shinzo.



INFANTRY

Unlike their counterparts from the JSDF, United States military always issued their infantry one of their best military equipment and they weren't shy about it, because they wanted to show their Supriority complex, not just to intididate the Saderans but also to overpowered them. The soldiers from US Army were wearing Interceptor Multi-Threat Body Armor System for the US Army or Modular Tactical Vest and Scalable Plate Carrier for the US Marine Corps, for their head gears the US infantry units were seen wearing Modular Integrated Communications Helmet variants like the MICH TC-2002, Advanced Combat Helmet (for the Army) and the Enhanced Combat Helmet/ECH for the entire US troops in both Alnus Hill on Falmart special region and Wu Yang Hill on Earthrealm, meanwhile the Special Operation Forces units of the SOCOM were only wear Plate Carriers and Ops Core FAST Helmets as their standard gear.

The majority of their infantry were seen wearing Operational Camouflage Pattern on their Army Combat Uniform/ACU for the US Army, while the US Marine Corps were seen wearing Woodland MARPAT (more commonly known as Marine pattern), this allows the US Infantry to blend in the Environment and to quickly hide themselves compared to their JSDF counterparts until 2017 during the final days of the Hundred Year War.

Explosives:

* 40mm Grenade

40 mm grenade (also styled 40mm grenade) is a generic class-name for grenade launcher ammunition (subsonic shells) in 40MM (1.57 in) caliber. The generic name stems from the fact that several countries have developed or adopted grenade launchers in 40MM caliber. These type of Grenades were used to arm the Grenade launchers like the M203, M320 and the Mk19 AGL used by the JTF troops, more particularly the US Armed Forces during the Saderan Conflict (2015-2016) and the Hundred Year War on Earthrealm.

* Cluster munitions

A cluster munition is a form of air-dropped or ground-launched explosive and non-explosive weapon that releases or ejects smaller submunitions. Commonly, this type of weapon ejects explosive bomblets nor leaflets that are designed to kill personnel and destroy vehicles or to convince the enemy combatants to surrender. The Bombs were used by the USAF either be dropped by the C-130's or the F-117 Nighthawks on Falmart, some of which were the submunition-based weapons can be disperse as non-munitions, such as leaflets.

Cluster munitions pose an immediate threat to civilians during conflict by randomly scattering submunitions or bomblets over a wide area, although despite it was banned on Earth, the US Air Force are permitted by the Japanese Ministry of Defense and the US Dept. of Defense to bomb the Saderan positions during the Saderan Civil War and later during the Arachnid swarms when the Recon Team 4 requested an air-support against the swarms of the Arachnid bugs, since Geneva Conventions cannot be applied on Falmart and also there are few Civilians involved.

However in 2017, the Cluster bombs were banned during the Hundred Year War because they might feared that many civilians as well as captured the Japanese and foreign citizens might be killed at the Bombings, however the JTF decided to use non-munition weapons to drop leaflets to encourage the Fire Nation soldiers who were keep fighting against the JTF to surrender with an approval by the UN, the Japanese Government and the by the personal order from Firelord Zuko himself.

* Armour-piercing discarding sabot

Just like in the JSDF Arsenal, the Armour-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot were used by both US Army and Marine Corps on their Tanks and Howitzers to eliminate heavy threats such as Falmartian Ogres and Fire Nation tundra tanks.

The M127A1 is a single use illuminant device managed by the Project Manager Close Combat Systems, or PM CCS, an office within the Arsenal's Program Executive Office Ammunition. Some other PM CCS products include countermines and explosive ordnance disposals, improvised explosive devices, area denial, combat munitions, such as grenades or non-lethal ammunition and support munitions, such as demolitions and pyrotechnics. This incendiary weapon is used by both US and the rest of the JTF as a Signal Flare gun to make a contact for the Helicopters in order to provide an Air-support, spotting enemy forces or Medivac, one example is the use Flare Guns against the Saderans and it's allies during the Battle of Alnus Hill or Saderan Civil War against the Saderan Empire and later in 2017 against the Fire Nation.

* Illumination shell

see: Illumination shell on JSDF Arsenal

The Illumination shell is a special type of artillery shell used to illuminate the battlefield in dark environments. The JTF Coaltion forces (mainly the US and Japanese military) used this type of shell during the night portions of the Battle of Alnus Hill in 2015 and Wu Yang Hill 2017.

* M202 FLASH

The M202 FLASH (Flame Assault Shoulder) is an American rocket launcher manufactured by Northrop Corporation, designed to replace the World War II–vintage flamethrowers that remained the US military's standard incendiary devices that used until the 1960s. The XM202 prototype launcher was tested in the Vietnam War against the NVA and Viet Cong, as part of the XM191 system programme. It is considered more effective than the conventional type of Flamethrowers, one of the reason is that the Flamethrowers have not been in the US Military arsenal since 1978 and they decided to stop using them due to them being of questionable effectiveness in modern combat scenarios, until the War on Afghanistan of 2001. This is why the US Military prefer the use of M202 FLASH against enemy infantry during the Saderan Civil War and the Arachnid Swarms, however it was not considered effective during the Hundred Year War against the Fire Nation on Earthrealm 2017, mainly because they would only divert flames against them and will be backfired terribly.

* Mark 77 bomb

The Mark 77 bomb (MK-77) is an American 750-pound (340 kg) air-dropped incendiary bomb carrying the 110 US gallons of fuel gel mix which is the direct successor to napalm. This is one of the incendiary bombs that were used against Zorzal's men during the Saderan Civil War and later against the Arachnids during the Swarm, both events happened on year 2016. However in 2017 when Hundred Year War is coming to closure, the Mk77 Bombs were banned due to the possibility of killings sof both Civilians and also the captured citizens from Japan and foreign nations as well, it is possible that the Firebending soldiers of the Fire Nation might deflect the explosion further.

* White Phosphorus

White Phosphorus munitions is a type of Weapon that use one of the common allotropes of the Chemical element Phosphorus. The White phosphorus is originally used in smoke, illumination, and incendiary munitions, and is commonly the burning element of tracer ammunition. This weapon was banned by the Geneva Conventions, however despite being banned on the battlefields because of it's lethality, this doesen't applied to Falmart Region against the Saderans and Arachnids nor Earthrealm against the Fire Nation during the final days of the Hundred Year War as long as there are no civilians were involved, besides they decided to create their own laws of War similar to the Geneva Conventions.


Mortars:

* M252 mortar

The M252 81mm Medium-weight mortar is a British-designed mortar weapon used for long-range indirect fire support to light infantry, air assault, and airborne units across the entire front of a battalion zone of influence.

In 2017, the AIM-9's were later used against the Fire Nation's Air Force units comprised of both War Balloons and Airships during the Assault on Western Air Temple and later during the air operations against Ozai's 100+ Airship fleet.


VEHICLES

Light Vehicles:

* Humvee

The High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle known as HMMWV or Humvee is a family of light, four-wheel drive, military trucks and utility vehicles produced by AM General. It serves as a fully Armored Passenger area protected by hardened steel and bullet-resistant glass.

* Oshkosh L-ATV

The Oshkosh L-ATV (Light Combat Tactical All-Terrain Vehicle) is a light utility/combat multi-role vehicle that won Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) program. In the very early stages of the program it was suggested that JLTV would replace the Humvees on a one-for-one basis. It is now suggested that the JLTV will partly replace the HMMWV/Humvee, not replace it on a like-for-like basis. The L-ATV's were seen used by the US Army and Marine Corps personnel particularly on their Recon missions, one team were seen using this type of vehicle is the Recon Team 4 led by Cpt. William Blazkowicz and the rest of the American and Japanese teams, in 2017 these vehicles along with Humvees were used to rescue the people at the National Diet Building when the Terrorists were attacked the Summit.


Tanks:

* M1 Abrams

The M1 Abrams is a third-generation American main battle tank designed by Chrysler Defense and it was named in Honor for General Creighton Abrams. This tank was widely used by both US Army and Marine Corps against heavy units of the Saderan Army and it's allied kingdoms during the Battle of Alnus Hill and also during the Saderan Civil War, they were seen effectively killing Ogres and other Gigantic units that causing havoc to JTF Personnel, while in 2017 the M1 Abrams alongside with the Type-90 Kyu Maru were considered as the fire Nation's nightmare during the Battle of Wu Yang Hill when they attempt to recapture the Hill but only backfired terribly.

** M1A1 Abrams

The M1A1 Abrans was introduced in 1985, replaced the original M1's 105mm Tank gun with a 120mm smoothbore cannon that was a refined version of the gun in use on the Leopard 2s. The M1A1 also featured a new type of turret, upgraded suspension and later the final model, the attached Depleted Uranium Armor. It remained in production through 1993. This tank was mainly operated by the United States Marine Corps known as the FEP or Firepower Enhancement Program, mainly by it's Tank Battalions and this shall increase the Marine Corps' warfighting capabilities all-day all-night and it contribute significantly to the Mission of winning decisively on the battlefield, with minimum casualties. The M1A1s were present during the Battle of Alnus Hill as the USMC provided a fire-support to the troops against the upcoming hordes of Saderan forces and the second wave from the Allied Kingdoms, in the latter it was seen fighting against Zorzal's loyalists during the Saderan Civil War and in 2017 during the final days of the Hundred Year War, it was widely seen by the US Marine Corps who fought against the Fire Nation tanks during the Battle of Wu Yang Hill alongside with the Japanese Type 90 Kyu-Maru, as well as the Second invasion of the Fire Nation and the Liberation of Ba Sing Se whereas the tanks were proving a fire-support for the JTF troops and White Lotus fighters.

PS: In my fanfic universe, the USMC never abandoned nor decomissioned it's own Tank units unlike IRL, in fact the USMC will have M1A3 AbramsX.

The M1A2 Abrams were seen during the Battle of Alnus Hill as the tanks fought against the Saderan Army during the first battle and against the allied kingdoms during the second battle, then it was later used during the Saderan Civil War against Prince Zorzal's loyalists and against the Arachnid swarms when the Recon Team-4 were encountered the giant bugs (similar to the Canyon Crawlers) as they provided a fire support against the giant arachnids alongside with the artillery.

** M1 AbramsX

The AbramsX is an immediate successor to the older variants of the M1 Abrams main battle tanks which will be operated by both US Army and Marine Corps, although it was a project by the US Department of Defense and General Dynamics, it will be introduced in 2022, the Tank was originally known as the M1A3 Abrams.

* Griffin II

The General Dynamics Griffin II which will soon to be renamed as M10 Booker, was a light tank variant of the Griffin Armored fighting vehicle for the US Army (and later the Marine Corps in the Future), they were designed to combat enemy vehicles and fortifications but not for enemy Main Battle Tanks. The US Armed Forces wants to use this type of vehicle as a testbed in 2017 at Alnus Hill along with US Personnel with the JSDF troops as well, after learning their experiences on their conflicts against the Saderans and the Earthrealmians, although it was on it's experimental stage and it will be introduced in 2022, Sokka is interested driving this vehicle.


Armored Vehicles:

* M113 APC

The M113 is a fully tracked armored personnel carrier that was developed and produced by the FMC Corporation.
