Gaiaterra: Elysea's Conflict/HIMARS

"It's gonna be... difficult"

-HIMARS driver

The M142 HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket System) is a multiple rocket launcher vehicle of Task Force Eve, replacing the M270 MLRS. Armed with six rocket tubes loaded with M-26 artillery rockets, the HIMARS is very effective in engaging against infantry and structures at long-range. Voiced by Britt Baron.

History

-...

The requirement for HIMARS first came about in 1982 V.C., when the 9th Infantry Division (Motorized) saw the need to acquire a light multiple rocket launcher as a counterfire asset. The requirement failed to gather support from the Field Artillery School and languished for a number of years.

With the waning of the Cold War and the growing interest in low-intensity operations, both the Field Artillery School and Missile Command realized that the M270 MLRS was too heavy for rapid deployment and pushed for the funding of HIMARS.

Operation Desert Rage and subsequent Aquilan intervention in Encantadia gave new impetus towards fielding a lightweight MLRS, when the M270 proved too costly in airlift assets to deploy in Encantadia and the launchers did not arrive with the initial wave of Aquilan troops during the intervention. The HIMARS concept was tested on 1991 V.C. at White Sands Missile Range, using a modified Honest John launcher.
