"There stands Jackson, like a stone wall."

The M112A2 Retriever, or just Retriever, was a standard infantry transport introduced at a late stage of the Second World War (from 1953 to 1955), for the Allied Nations, and afterward - for the Peacekeeper Divisions, until the development of the Riptide in 1962.

The well-armored, slow-moving Aquilan-made APC was intended to replace older half-tracks like the Whippet, although complete displacement of German trucks hasn't been reached. Originally, Retrievers had .50 cal heavy machine guns in special mounts, but when they were consigned to the New California Commonwealth, the Allies stripped them of their Brownings to mount them on the first generation of Riptides.

When the Minutemen recovered the Retrievers from the waste, they gave them the nickname of Jackson, in honor of the famous "Stonewall" Jackson of the original Minutemen - although veterans of the Second World War sometimes joke by confusing those names. The refurbished Jacksons often have an MP122 speaker system, designed to simulate the effect of Empire propaganda, and in addition allow the unarmed crew to affect the course of the battle by shouting cheerful chants, which they take utmost delight in doing.
