The 'Burn-In' was first pioneered by distinguished officers of the newly formed 8th Armored Infantry Division, who discovered this method was most suited to getting large numbers of Armored Infantry into battle with the least risk from enemy fire. Thereafter, this deployment method was standardized for all Armored Infantry units in the USIF.

  • The 'Burn-In' was first pioneered by distinguished officers of the newly formed 8th Armored Infantry Division, who discovered this method was most suited to getting large numbers of Armored Infantry into battle with the least risk from enemy fire. Thereafter, this deployment method was standardized for all Armored Infantry units in the USIF. In order to perform a burn-in, the soldiers who will be deploying must first enter a dropship, which then takes them over the battlefield. Once the pilot has locked onto a landing zone, he ejects the soldiers out of the bottom of the dropship via jet propulsion from tens of thousands of feet above the ground. Once launched, troopers can guide themselves to avoid incoming fire. When the soldiers are closer to the ground, they have two options: they can activate their jet brakes, which slows their fall and allows for a stealthy landing; or the more dramatic method- continue on at terminal velocity without deploying jet brakes and creating a large crater upon landing, allowing the soldier to enter the battlefield more quickly. There is also a third method that allows the burn-in to be used as a weapon, where the trooper continues on at terminal velocity and deploys the jet brakes at the last moment, allowing him to position himself above his intended target. He then lands on top of his intended target, with the resulting impact able to crush large vehicles or unsuspecting infantry and even smash through bunkers.
