I have always thought that the limiting factor in the project was not money or resources, but humans.

Finding people who are willing to give up everything on what really could literally be described as a "hunch" seemed like the biggest challenge. That is why I could see cryotubes being used for canine members at the team level.

The agricultural site mentioned in "Fall Back" has lots of animals in tubes IIRC. They also have extra fusion powerplants to be used in surviving agricultural equipment. This reinforces my belief that the project is resource rich, but relatively personnel poor.

Also if they teams are getting there pups from a central source like a regional base its possible they could pack more than one dog into a cryotube. Maybe up to three if there small enough.

I stand corrected. Don't have Fallback. Ok, so maybe there is room for the dog in the tube. My MP tends to be a small project and tight in resources, but if you need to substitute, why not. One might also make an argument for a chimp in the tube- but that might be too corny.

I definitely see a Recon team benefitting from having a master/handler and a dog, such as a Border Collie.

And if the dog and master share a empathic or telepathic bond....

What about expanding on the Animal Cryotube theme from "Fallback"...

Pack horses. Some locations that are very difficult to traverse still in the modern day are quite manageable by pack horse. The Rocky Mountain West for example, guided hunts on by horse is a thriving industry.

This severely limits the teams fire power and other equipment. Does however completely free their mobility. Down side would be caring for the horses. Hauling grain;grazing horses is fine, but for strenuous activity they need the calories. Caring, is not super difficult but, horseshoes are a must in rocky areas. Then there is how horses react when the shooting starts. I think Cavalry used to have a pistol range beside the horse corral, this desensitized the horse to gunfire.
