Acting as a troop carrier and fire support vehicle, the Minuteman is a versatile and effective unit in the ISP cavalry. Designed specifically to be a combat vehicle rather than an exploratory one, the Minuteman nonetheless sees use in both fields.
A six-wheeled APC, the Minuteman can carry up to 10 men in its passenger bay, and can deploy them straight into a firefight if need be. Surprisingly fast for such a large vehicle, it can hit up to 57 miles per hour and is capable of traversing rough terrain relatively smoothly. In combat, it uses its 40mm repeating railcannon to provide supporting fire against both infantry and vehicles, as well as a remote control M100 machine gun turret for suppressing infantry. For heavily armored units such as tanks and combat walkers, the M20 is armed with eight Pike AT missiles.
Heavily armored with composite plating, the Minuteman is immune to most small arms, requiring heavy weapons to breach it. It is well-known for being able to safely transport squads of soldiers directly through hot zones, guaranteeing that they will reach their objectives unimpaired. A trusted companion to the ISP ground forces, the Minuteman is reliable, robust, and effective.
