Default militia armour

As for operational use, a tank might not be as cost efficient as a bunch of technicals. So even though a state guard unit might very well be equipped with the tanks listed by Rifleman ( fully plausible in my book) - its not sure they would actually see much use other than sort of deterrents around valuable areas. Running a tank patrol would be costly business in T2K.

Setting up and arming a militia unit is not that hard if you have an outside threat that people fear. Setting up a good one on the other hand is a different matter.

I remember reading an interview with a man from Liverpool who served in the trenches in WWI. He was in a depot for a total of 9 days, fired three shots and was of to France the 10th day. I dont know how many days he spent training there before he was in a trench.
