The symbol of 20th centurywarfare, the Main Battle Tank had gone out of favour with the former 'Superpowers'.  However, in the past 20 years smaller nations have pursued actively building mobile, versatile armies with both MBTs and light tanks.  For a successful military offensive campaign, strong armored divisions are essential.

At the core of any military force is the infantry. Infantry units are relatively quick and inexpensive to develop, though limited mobility and difficulty in working in clear terrain are drawbacks. Modern infantry units often including motorized or armored transport.

A much more mobile, transportable force than Main Battle Tanks or infantry.  Light Tanks and Recon Units can take territory quickly and move forward with little notice, scouting terrain and engaging infantry. Not a match for a heavy tank force or anti-tank units.

The ability to engage the enemy without being in danger is the dream of every soldier.  Artillery has always offered commanders a taste of that dream.  Well place artillery can make a region impregnable or at least terribly expensive to take.

Anti-Tank battalions and non-mobile fortifications are ideal defensive  units.  But beware a quick, massed attack that could make the lack of mobility of these units a major drawback.

As Air Forces grow, there is a constant need for air defense.  The types of anti air are quite varied from wheeled missile launchers, to tracked AA guns or even shoulder mounted launchers.  A number of the units can also, in last chance situations or in self-defense, attack ground targets.

With constant fear of attack from above, all nations have invested heavily in these fighters.  As always, a good defense is a strong offense.  The modern day dog fight is enhanced by newer electronics and better training.

At the dawn of the 21st century, numerous countries had attack fighters at various stages of development.  The world now finds that, what was to be tested for tomorrow will be needed today.  Many aircraft have had their final stages of development shortened or dropped as regional powers assemble what air force they can.

Capable of delivering devastating salvos from incredible heights, these planes have little direct aerial attack capabilities.  Whether carrying conventional weapons or weapons of mass destruction, these aircraft can alter the landscape and cripple a nation if not defended against.

Many powerful pieces of military equipment are too slow to reach from one conflict to another and must be transported.  As a region expands, it also becomes necessary to move troops quickly and efficiently between territories.

Considered by many to be the Queens of the Battlefield after their successful use by the United States in Vietnam, many wonder if these airborne assault platforms will become the ultimate mobile border for pushing a conflict back on an aggressor.

Modern Destroyers and Frigates are now armed with advanced reconnaissance and targeting technologies, as well as sophisticated weapons such as guided missiles.

Although Battleships of the past dominated the seas with their main guns, can they maintain their threat level in the face of far reaching aircraft carriers or even Guided Missile Cruisers?

Aircraft Carriers are used to extend force and influence far beyond a region's home territories.  Combined with air squadrons and other naval forces, a Carrier Group is a serious threat in any theater of operations.

Submarines can fulfill many roles, including the disruption of shipping and also the threat of ballistic missiles.
