The Assault APC is a five to seven man high speed transport used for commando style raids as well as for recon missions. The APC requires one pilot, and can comfortably transport four troops in PA or six troopers in body armor. Theses units were designed with both single and group tactics in mind as such each vehicle can operate equally well whether it is supported or unsupported.
