As can be seen above, each maneuver battalion has this unit attached to it
12 x Ultrasport 496 & “Limo”
The “Limo” is a modified flat-top M113 designed to act as a “take-off/landing pad” for the chopper and a “home” for the mechanic. Since the M113 can hold up to 13 people (including the crew) and the helicopter’s “pad” houses only 3 (pilot, M113 driver, mechanic), the flat-top has earned the nickname “Limo” by non-recon troops

Weapons
The SR16 (virtually identical to the)M468 (http://www.gunblast.com/images/Barrett-M468/DSC03092.jpg)) is a M16 rifle modified for the Remington 6.8mm SPC round. The SC4A (Syskeyian Carbine 4 - Airborne) “carbine-and-a-half” is basically the same thing, except with an M4 carbine lower section. Both have been retrofitted with a gas piston system for greater reliability. In that sense they look virtually identical to their RL counterparts except for the gas exhaust tube above the rifle barrel, which places the front sight just the slightest bit higher.
Each Syskeyian rifle is equipped with a triple bayonet lug. This allows a bayonet to be fixed either under the barrel, as is traditional, or on either side of the barrel, to allow one to attach a bayonet while an underbarrel weapon is attached to the rifle
The Syskeyian soldier usually carries a spike bayonet. Rougly the diameter of a pencil, the Syskeyian B1 spike bayonet has a triangular section blade 9 inches long, with fullers to upward and downward blows.
The S2 grenade launcher is an underbarrel grenade launcher that holds 3 grenades in a rotary cylinder. This allows the grenadier to possess more ready-to-fire ammo than the traditional one-shot grenade launcher. The S2 also carries a version of FN Herstal’s FN2000 firing system. As this site (http://matrix.dumpshock.com/raygun/firearms/assault/fn2000.html) describes it:
The F2000's fire control system provides a means of quickly and accurately aiming the grenade launcher that greatly increases its effect. It ensures a high probability of achieving an effective hit with a minimum number of grenades. A laser range finder first determines the range to the target and then a ballistic computer, programmed with three firing tables, automatically calculates the launch angle. LED indicators tell the user the aiming adjustments required and when the correct angle required to hit the target is reached.
The HLV (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v123/Syskeyia/m113_hellfire.gif) (Hellfire Launching Vehicle) is a M113 modified to fire eight Hellfire Missiles from external launchers. It earned the nickname "Brimstone" because of the term "hellfire and brimstone," since it fires the missile "Hellfire," well...
More will come later.
*The type of tank used in armored formations relates to the type of brigade it is in. The M1A3/4S Abrams tank is the main tank for armored brigades, while the Sabra is used by armored battalion in infantry brigades.
**While most "Avenger" and "Blazer"-equipped M113+s use the Stinger missiles, refitting is currently replacing them with Starstreaks.
***The MTVLS (Mobile Tactical Vehicle Light - Short) is identical to the Syskeyian MTVL, but keeps the hull length of the regular M113, as well as the five-wheel track length. This was done in order to cut down on the number of C-17s needed for an airdrop, as the Globemaster III can carry five M113s, as opposed to only three to four MTVLs. (Pic of said APC may be coming soon.)
****The M8155 Airborne Assault gun is basically a 155mm assault gun attached to a modified, turretless M8 Thunderbolt chassis.
