Description
Motorized infantry benefit from their ability to tow Field Guns into battle, allowing them to wield the firepower of larger vehicles and 'Mechs. For the Taurian Concordat post-Jihad, these units are seen as a means of making the best use of their dwindling resources. The Motorized Batteries of the 75th Light Guard, 1st Taurian Lancers, have begun training with light autocannon batteries, using ammunition copied from the Federated Suns to deadly effect.[1]
Armament
Soldiers in the Seventy-fifth carry Auto-Rifles and Support Particle Cannons for personal defense, however it is the 6 Autocannon/5s each platoon tows into battle that give them the needed punch. Each gun comes with 20 rounds of ammunition and requires only 5 men to operate.
