Huey Rifle Platoon
"Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die!" ~ Blood Upon the Risers, unofficial Airborne theme song
The Airborne is possibly the most renowned formation in the history of the United States Army, with a legacy of honor stretching back as far as some general getting the idea that it would be a great idea to throw a bunch of men out of these newfangled airplanes.
In Team Yankee
Significantly larger than the other US Army infantry unit in game, the US Mech Platoon, the Huey Rifle Platoon is a great choice for commanders who love to overwhelm the opposition with lightning fast assaults.
