History
"Somebody talked, no one is safe!"

-...

In Vinland exists the Alliance Air Defence School, initially established as a range for testing anti-aircraft rockets and guns, where the operators of the Ironfire anti-aircraft system are trained for combat service. During the six-month-long Mobile Air Defence Specialization course, Ironfire operator teams learn to identify and engage a wide variety of enemy aircraft, judge distances accurately, calculate firing solutions with a slide rule and graph paper, engage in rough terrain driving courses, as well as optional programs such as classical literature. They come out the training the best anti-air specialists in the entire world, men and women capable of protecting the ground forces of the Alliance with iron and fire.

Due to the large size and rotary action of the Ironfire's 20mm AA gun, the platform is forced to reduce its speed while firing. Though a trained crew can switch to firing mode in less than ten seconds, this delay can mean life or death on the battlefield. As a result, a constant mantra of preparedness is drilled into each Ironfire crew, who must be ready to deploy or undeploy at any time. Reports from psychiatrists indicate that this training regime may be responsible for the heightened levels of paranoia and borderline schizophrenia in Ironfire operators.
