The Aquilan army has seen action in countless conflicts all around the globe, in all sorts of terrains, against all sorts of opposition and tactics. An army like this certainly has to be properly equipped and prepared at all times, and for all the good propaganda can do to convince as many civilians as possible to join the military, the idea of fighting in Booby trap infested areas is not an idea that pleases many. For this reason, the Aquilan military has made sure to give its personnel far better survival chances than the rest, with more advanced training and increasingly sophisticated vehicle eject measures: most Aquilan pilots who reach a certain amount of experience with their vehicles will be able to eject from them upon their destruction, giving them a chance to live and fight another day. Once ejected from their aircraft a General may order them to occupy another aircraft, sharing their knowledge with the rest of that vehicle's crew and sometimes making the difference in the heat of a battle. This double edged sword thus not only assures the Aquilans will have far more survivors that may then be reused in other operations than other factions, but also to give an impression of "safety" to the population for what is in reality still a very risky job, as ejected pilots are still very much vulnerable to enemy fire.
