AD HOC SALVAGE TEAM
Just a weird collection of vehicles & people. Including some of the "trades" that I find interesting. I put in some NPCs that might round out a PC group
Vehicles
HEMTT M985 trucks with trailer x 2
Ural-43206 x 2
Motorcycles (125 cc "scramble bikes") x 4
note: Team is a lightly-armed platoon and is designed to be capabnle of splitting into 2 sections
Background History:
This unit's HEMTT trucks were the resupply vehicles for a MLRS battery. Since the ammunition ranout long ago, and the M985 has a useful crane, they were assigned to the salvage team [the crane can lift 2.5 tons]

The Ural trucks are 4x4 ex-sovet army vehicles. Each has a 4-ton payload and are used to transport the team's personnel and some of the more "fragile" salvaged items
The motorcycles are requisitioned civilian machines and have been modified to run on alcohol. They are used for recon and courier duties
Notable Personnel
XO: Lt Diana Andrea Chan - is a USAF Civil Engineer (AFSC: 32EX) which means that she has some Combat Engineer capabilities. Primarily trained for tasks such as the management of static facilities and infrastructure, Chan was also trained as a firefighter. After one term of service, she was seconded to the US Army (most USAF units were broken up to provide reinforcements for ground troops) She is the unit's expert in NBC detection and decontamination
Driver: PFC John Fisher (MOS: 13M). Fisher is a 35-year-old Texan trucker (drafted into the Army after war broke out). He operates one of the HEMMT trucks. In fact, he was operating it when it was part of the MLRS battery. Fisher is a big, irritable individual who only seems relaxed when he's drunk (which is frequent when off-duty). His drinking is tolerated because of his driving skill
Medic: Sgt Kenneth Mackay USAF (4P0X1 - Pharmacy Technician). A studious-loooking individual, he is known to the team as "The Professor". As well as being a combat medic and operating the unit's stills, his duties include examining any medicines that are salvaged. To assist in this, Mackay carries several large textbooks in his backpack (other team member sjoke that these would probably stop bullets)
Wireman: Sgt Brian Kirst USMC (MOS 0613) Kirst is the unit's specialist in salvaging cables and antenna systems. He also comands the unit's Support Weapons section (which has a variety of rocket launchers, usually a couple of RPG-7s, with a few rounds of HEAT ammunition)
