AGE Mounts Up!

Transition Time!

As of Wednesday June 30, Army Group East will officially transition to a new structure, offering a more cohesive branch identity, and greater flexibility to face the challenges of eRepublik Rising. No more will the eUS Army have two sub-branches! Army Group West will remain the one and only Army, and Army Group East will adopt the name and methodology of the RL military division most uniquely suited to the world of constant open warfare.

Cavalry!



Tanks are the backbone of the US Armored Cavalry, and while expensive, will supply a lot of raw damage on the battlefield.



Infantry is instrumental in providing the maximum battle effect. Whether holding a critical field hospital or taking down air defenses, there are some jobs that should only be given to the infantry! The US Armored Cavalry has many infantry and combined arms regiments, recognizing this reality.



As any Civilization IV addict can tell you, Cavalry evolves from horses to helicopters! Air assets are vital to the US Armored Cavalry, and the eUS Cavalry will make great use of air units to provide landing zones for friendly forces, eliminate enemy armor, and deliver a grievous ass-kicking to enemy units who think they're safe!



The Air Cav has a proud history in the US Armored Cavalry, and soldiers training to fly will have all the support of their booted and tracked brothers-in-arms.



Cavalry means covering your buddy's back! Without artillery to swat down enemy choppers, our own armor would be sitting ducks. Artillery isn't all about hanging back and playing it safe though, to be effective, an artilleryman has to drive right up into the choppers' teeth to get the job done!



Of course, the eUS Cavalry's artillery will have teeth of its own!



In the end, let's face it, Cavalry is just plain sexy!
