A ground deployed, flamer unit from the 101st PACkeRs (101st Powered Armor Combat Ready Division), attached to an M.I. Squad of 8 to 10 Troopers. Armed with a flame-thrower and two rocket pods. Tanks filled with an undisclosed flammable liquid mixture are mounted on the back; feeder hoses lead to the pressurizing mechanism. This MR-9 flamer has an effective range of 300-feet (...that's the length of a football field!). Attached to each side is a pod firing 35 micro-rockets each with a range of roughly 4km. They can rotate 65º in either direction to assist in trajectory targeting.

Continuing the legacy Roughneck Joe, a project originally started back in 1997 shortly after the movie Starship
Troopers came out. Here is my patriotic homage to our Armed Services stationed overseas. This "Desert Trooper" is sporting the new desert camo BDUs that were issued to our forces in the late 90's.
