Heavy Gear Blitz Army Design

Northern Guard Regiments are normally rather strict in their organization. Sometimes, even rarely, the Northern Guard is able to adapt its organization to the mission. To take control of a southern city, the command decided to go on a doctrine less conventional than those based on the three squads of Gears. The priority level is 3 to reflect the importance of the mission and provide the necessary flexibility in terms of auxiliary.

The Task Force is based on the joint and coordinated action of three distinct groups:

  1. Action Group: Command and light assault with the General Purpose Squad, control buildings with infantry and reconnaissance of enemy positions with the Recon Squad
  2. Insertion Group: Two airdroppables units to capture distant objectives and establishing a bridgehead
  3. Support Group: a standard fire support unit
