Fusiliers were any non-airborne "elite" unit, similar to Soviet units designated as Guards.

stopping the “Petrovansi’s Own” tank division and their Pezo tanks at the Battle of Brandenburg, and breaking the defenses at Elizabethtown as part of the offensive to retake Fort Campbell. I always thought it was just some creative writing on the part of TRADOC, but I guess they were leftovers from the era of the Circle Trigon hordes!

The Pezo was the late-1960s heavy tank of Circle Trigon, at 52 tonnes and carrying a 122mm main armament, with a top road speed of 42 kph. The 1966 and 1969 versions of FM30-102 have the Pezo. The 1960 version has a 54 ton heavy with a 35 kph road speed. I don't have a copy of the 1963 version to see what tanks it contains. That one and 1955 are the only two versions of FM30-102 I haven't yet found online.
