T-SHIRTS- 2 pair of each . For female soldiers, sports bras are also available.

DRESS UNIFORM- includes shirt, coat, pants, belt, boots, hat, tie and gloves. This is for formal situations and officers in non-combatant roles.

20 ft ROPE- Just enough to let you realize you need more
ENTRENCHING TOOL- folding shovel/hatchet, in Russian version only the blade does fold. Russian troops often practice using their shovels in fight. With at least one edge sharpened (or even without this), this tool becomes a deadly, tomahawk-like weapon that can be used in melee, or thrown for a few meters (2d6 blade-AP damage, even vs. hard armor).
CAMMO NET - provides personal or equipment concealment when in the bush.
COLLAPSING MINE DETECTOR- Collapses even smaller than the entrenching tool, and meant to be used while crawling on your belly

LEG HOLSTER- for the handgun. Can be used as belt holster, up to user’s preference.

P567 GAS MASK- this is contained in its own pouch, with adjustable waist and leg strap, Mexico issues the same Gas Mask as the Neo-Soviet Military.

ARASAKA LBAV-8 BODY ARMOR VEST- (SP: 18) Instead of straps, this armored vest has customizable pocket arrangements to more securely store your gear, or if one is inclined, one can simply use the pockets for thick kevlar pad inserts (SP:20 10% chance bullets misses inserts, additional ten percent chance for every pocket used to store gear instead of armor.) The pockets vary in size, allowing a perfectly tailored custom load out everytime.

HELMET- (SP: 20) Adjustable retracting monacle equipped with LL, Thermograph, and tele-optics and a built in short range radio. Similiar, though inferior, to Militechs latest infantry helmet. Mexico issues the same helmets as the Neo-Soviet Military.

POLICE UNIFORM- The Police in Mexico are actually another branch of the militaryhowever they are issued seperate uniforms tohelp ease public relations and confusion stemming from duty jurisdiction. The mexican police uniform consists of a thickened Armourweave (same material datafilm is made from, without the interface capabilities SP:8) t-shirt with optional shoulderpads (SP: 12), and a pair of black or olive BDU style pants.

MEXICAN METALS ACHAS-02 12,350- (SP: 30) (EV: 3) (STR: +4) This suit of metal gear plus is the heaviest in standard use of any military in the world. It is not as agile as or as strong as some it's counterparts in the EEC, Russian, or American militaries, but its protection is incomperable. The suit provides the wearer with a strenght boost which helps alleviate the stress of the weight of the suit itself, though its size still adds greatly to the encumberance of the armor. The cloth portions of the armor are actually thick Armorweave (SP: 8) draped over strenght boosting frame. Just shy of hardsuit classification, this suit features a 30 minute independent air-supply, a cooling.ventilation system made necessary by Mexican climate, and the helmet is equipped with IR, Anti Dazzle, Low-Light, adio dampers, and a military radio/laser communicator. Additional accessories include a gyro-stabilazation harness and back mounted ammo hopper (200 rounds) for heavy gunner duty, and disposable self inflating flotation units for naval duty.
