U.S Repair Tank - M88A1 ARV (Armored Recovery Vehicle): The repair tank is an essential part of any successful mission. It is able to quickly repair any friendly vehicle and keep them in the fight. This is useful in a number of ways, most of which are obvious. Less dead units means less time waiting for reinforcements, and it also means that veteran and elite units stay in the fight. The M88 itself is unarmed and lightly armored, and all efforts should be made to keep it safe.
The repair tank has a rechargeable emergency repair function, which instantly recovers a substantial portion of health on the target vehicle. It also has the secondary ability to perform self-repairs, though it must remain stationary to do so.

U.S Heavy Tank - M1A1 Abrams: An instantly recognizable symbol of U.S military might, the Abrams is the heaviest tank available to the U.S side, and the equal of the T-80. It performs a similar role, forming the bulwark of the armored spearhead, dishing out and being able to sustain massive damage.
It has HEAT shells, just like the T-80, effective against light or medium armor. Smoke launchers form an emergency defense.
quote:
U.S Medium Artillery - M125: Based on the venerable M113 hull, the M125 carries an 81mm mortar fired from an open fighting compartment. This weapon has good range and accuracy and is highly effective against enemy infantry or soft vehicles, but inflicts only minimal damage on anything heavier. As its special weapon, it carries incendiary rounds that greatly increases the damage against enemy personel.
New units sort of commanded but deserving of recognition:

U.S Battleship - USS Missouri: This Iowa-class battleship is simply bristling with weaponry, including nine 16" guns. These were to prove decisive in the battle of Pine Valley.
