ACL-98 Larder

A new Military Labor concept which serves as a battlefield command post.

As seen in examples with the Hannibal and Brocken, some of a military labor's most effective roles are riot control in conflict areas.   Conversely, while this is not the only role that other existing weapons systems are used in, there has been an trend in recent years to more clearly define labor 'roles'.

Shinohara Heavy Industries’ previously mentioned AV (Advanced Vehicle) project did not only give rise to a law enforcement labor, the Ingram operated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department’s Special Vehicle Section 2, but another labor was born in the background.   Operated by the JGSDF’s airborne units, the ARL-99 Helldiver was also created from this project.
