USMF

From Final Fantasy Wiki

The United States Military Force (USMF) forms the ground-based military arm of the United States in the year 2065. They are primarily responsible for the safety and security of the Barrier Cities as well as combating the Phantom threat.

The troop contingent Deep Eyes is a contingent of the USMF. The USAF provides aerial vehicles for the USMF's use.

[edit] Origin

The USMF was the first military force to combat Phantoms using conventional projectile weaponry, which failed them miserably. When bio-etheric technology was discovered and introduced by Doctor Sid the USMF began intensifying its fight. Following the United States the United Nations began standardizing itself and launched massive World Phantom Cleansing Missions. In the fourth Cleansing Mission in the Tucson wasteland, the entire North American USMF overland main force was obliterated. The living members of the forces were promoted to fill the empty positions, and Douglas Hein was promoted to the rank of General.

[edit] USMF Equipment

[edit] Hound Combat Suit

  • Anti SB Mechanized Infantry Protection System (Armed Land Warrior)

A highly sophisticated form of upper-body protection utilized by the Deep Eyes squadron. Combined with helmet and weaponry, this armor enables elite human soldiers to combat their mysterious and deadly alien foes.

The suits are colour coded to denote rank.

[edit] Nightmare Tactical Helmet

  • AN/SUS - 9C
  • Multiscopic S-scanned retinal image projection full face goggle

"Inputs the pulse data of spiritual entities directly into the brain and feeds the data back onto a built-in projector of the goggle, which projects the image directly on the retina. The reason for this complex projection system is that a fully mechanical spiritual energy scanner, which does not pass through a human spiritual body, results in a very low precision image."

"The full helmet was nicknamed "Nightmare" by the soldiers, denoting the horrific sight of the Phantoms seen through the goggles."

[edit] Revenant Tactical Helmet

  • AN/SUS - 10A
  • Monoscopic S-Scanned Retinal Image Projection Half Face Goggle

"In essence, this helmet is a simpler version of the 9 series. The difference is that this helmet has a simplified air filtration system and is not appropriate in chemically and/or biologically polluted areas."

[edit] Weaponry

[edit] Serpent (Nocturne) Rifle

  • Series G302D - A
  • Oersted induced 12 gauge S assault rifle

Discharges by having a magnetic flux barrel induce and accelerate spiritual energy. The variable energy shell can be fired as multiple low-energy shots or as a single high-energy shot. The rifle also features a grenade launcher function. The rifle has to be carried with two hands to operate effectively

Although its original model name was "Serpent", it is said that the soldiers, seeing dying Phantoms writhe as if they were dancing in a ballroom, maliciously began to call it "Nocturne".

[edit] Projectile Rifle

These rifles fire rapid-fire projectile rounds. These rifles are used primarily against carbon-based life forms as projectile weaponry does not affect Phantoms.

[edit] Handgun

Relatively small and easy to carry the handgun used by the USMF fires projectile rounds. The handgun is used primarily as a secondary or close quarter weapon against carbon-based life forms.

[edit] Grenade Rounds

[edit] Flares

Unlike conventional flares these rounds burst into smaller energy charged particles that, upon contact, will charge a plasma-based being’s body to become visible to the naked eye.

[edit] Impact Suppression Grenades

During an aerial drop a USMF soldier would fire one of these grenade rounds over their landing zone where, upon impact, a large mass of green plasma would erupt and cushion the soldier’s landing. The plasma would dissipate around the soldier as they’re cushioned. A larger variant of these grenades are used as emergency landing procedures for vehicles.
