- Description: Lightning Battalion, or more formally known as the 25th battalion, is a newly formed combat unit comprised of infantry, APCS, and assault vehicles. Extremely flexible and versatile in regards to weaponry and vehicles, Lighting Battalion can perform a variety of missions. Mainly performing operations in urban environments, they are experienced with handling civilians and know how to tell the difference between a disguised terrorist and genuine civilian. Nicknamed after their amazing speed and pinpoint accuracy, Lightning Battalion can rapidly deploy through their use of armored personnel carriers into tight situations. Their sheer numbers can overwhelm enemy encampments. Because the Lightning Battalion is a ground force, they rely on air support from other units to provide air reconnaissance to determine enemy positions, and bombing raids to clear enemy fortifications. Each company has their own unique culture and slang military terms. The companies are divided according to experience and ability of the individual. Each recruit takes a course that lasts about five weeks. Throughout these five weeks, the "fresh meat" are put through a series of tests and tasks that tests their potential ability to fight. At the end of the course an exam is proctored. Those that score high marks are placed within the first three companies while those who....score under the bar, are placed in the lower classed companies.
