All of my mind are equipped with Bizarro Guitars, are somewhat-intelligent zombies (No chance of rebellion!) who have 9 inches of solid Neutron Star Duct taped to them, and mad Gung Fu Skillz.

Shall I elaborate? The Bizarro Guitars, which they are masters of, allow the projection of sound waves so high frequency they are capable of shattering reality; space, and time, in infinite lengths and to anyone who isn't wearing special ear muffs. In this torn piece of the Time-Space Continuum, people will either die from the energy pouring out of fall through the rip, it is a place where 2+2=, Fish are weapons, and you can't walk for various reasons. No color, no floor, no black, no white.

If the lose their reality-shaking guitars, the zombies have their Gung Fu Skillz, which are powerful enough that they have the capability to punch of kick and send the force through the air, and land on a target, generally arriving with a force of 20,000 lbs.

The only thing I would need is one helluva lot of nuclear powered nuclear/cruise missile submarines, maybe with some hunter killers as well. Everything else would only be needed if I wanted to invade something, which I wouldn't.

Lets say... tropical island nation, no larger than Borneo, no smaller than Luzon.

My Army is already outfitted to operate in such a enviroment.

You will notice I specified amphibious capabilities on many of the vehicles and a tank in the 40 ton range for lighter weight and aircraft required to operate in unprepared conditions.

I want my recon/scout elements to keep going and withdraw with no problems if under fire. None of this pull up to a river bank and take 20 min to erect floatation gear bullshit. Drive in and drive out

I find it somewhat amusing that you're putting all of this uber-highspeed superweapons into your military, brother, but your mortars are still just 81mm.

Isnt 81mm or close to it still the largest generally considered man portable? I thought most mortars 81mm and larger were usually mounted in light vehicles?

For instance the US Army uses the M106 (M125 for 81mm) family of mortar carriers from the 81mm up to a 120mm version.

IIRC the USMC uses the LAV-M and the US Army is getting the M1129 mortar carrier based on the Stryker.

plus the classics never die, they just get new wrappings. Armies have been using the 60mm mortar and 105mm arty sizes for generations. If it aint broke and all...

I see what EO is getting at though. Theres some uber-shiat in this guys lineup and all of a sudden you get some oldish current tech as your primary OTH and non LOS support options heh heh not that theres anything wrong with that. refer to my first 2 sentences

It was deleted along with all the other posts made about cavemen and deathstars. Last time I checked there are no space bombers yet.

Please people, this is for serious discussion. If you can't post real and realistic units (A trillion nuclear warheads is not realistic), please don't post at all in this thread.
