INFANTRY QUALITY OF LIFE:
There are a number of small things our infantry have been requesting for a while now. By themselves, they are not worth our time. Combining them changes matters.
-Boots. A good pair of boots. Infantry love boots.
-Binoculars. We've enough experience with lenses that we can surely design a decent pair.
-Medkits. A little first aid can save hundreds of lives. More to the point, knowing that help is available improves morale.
-Sunglasses. You try shooting someone with the sun in your eyes.
-Bayonets. Sometimes you just need a knife. On the end of your gun.
-Better Parachutes: Basic steering and possibly higher weight capacity increase our paratroopers' self-reliance.
We shall spend our time trying to develop as many of these as possible.
-Entrenching tools (foldable/collapsible spades).
-Sandbags.
-Engineering equipment (more sandbags, dedicated tools like wire cutters, barbed wire, small axes, pickaxes, etc)
-Vests, bags, bandoliers, pockets and pouches, even elbow ones.
-Waterproof camo cloaks.
-Knee and elbow pads.
-Gloves.
-Fire retardant uniforms.
-Winter and tropical versions of the uniforms.
-Healthier and tastier rations.
-MagnesiumManganese steel helmets and vests
