I'm against an awning because of the simplicity. I refuse to believe our engineers can't build one. If you really want to remove the armory because we can eventually build up a stockpile, you may as well replace it with something we can't build. Elite communications synergizes with satellite uplink and radio tower. Standard arms bay for fast rearming of aircraft. Advanced radar. Backup power. We don't know if we can easily replace the radio tower and the radio tower has multiple purposes such as broadcasting propaganda.

I'm going to back this, an awning is too priorty as we can't risk our valuable aircraft, but we can very quickly build one up.
I'm still against the armory, but there's plenty of valuable stuff we can't switch it for. Better comms, a radio tower, backup power, radar, take your pick.

No they don't, however most other vehicles can easily do so. Humvees can manage lighter artillery, while artillery in the standard battalion can be done so by the transport trucks, either the M939 or M757. The bigger armored trailers meanwhile are meant more for carrying heavy equipment and vehicles. In a desperate situation however, I can imagine the substitutes can be made for towing the artillery, whether it be civilian vehicles or teams of oxen/brahmin/horses.
Upkeep shouldn't be an issue. If there's a situation/case where there is wear and tear and upkeep is required, it will be known.
The venom would be able to at max hold about 4 power armored soldiers, along with 2 with no power armor. However, besides that and there weaponry, not much else would be able to be brought due to weight issues, which is also a main reason as to why there can't be more just sitting on the sides of the chopper. As for the others, well the UH-1N would be able to carry 4 power armored soldiers, and the VB-01 could carry either 6 power armored soldiers or 4 power armored soldiers and 4 regular ones, this one largely due to space rather then weight.
@MajorKO what will the culture of our pre-war Americans be like? The information on pre-war america is sparse other than it being a cyberpunk dystopia with a 1950s aesthetic.
How much protection will our base and town have against radiation and rad storms? Will there be fallout shelters in the town or basements made to act as one? Will we have hazmat suits? We don't have enough power armor to protect everyone that way.

We at PPS are proud to present the cost effective and personal protection you deserve, the Pulowski Preservation shelter! These wonderful product can be located at every street corner and fully capable of protecting you and your belongings.
I'd imagine the base would have some thicker walls and maybe a reinforced bunker underneath for the command staff. But rad-storm is a post war thing.
Unlikely as we didn't chose the options with rolls for additional force.

Huh, Dad says that most towns with a military base has a bunch of reservist living in the town... So I thought the same applies here?

Like it implies, it will largely be a time of 1950's optimism and asethetic, except gone a bit too far. Culture has for the most part stagnated, with anything new coming out either essentially being a rebrand, continuation, or just not branching out. A large problem would be that people would want to keep that optimism up to the extreme, even going so far as to ignore worsening conditions and effects overseas.
Then the 2060's and 2070's happened, which I imagine was sort of a similar impact of our own 1960's/1970's and the shattering of optimism back then. In this case however, it's much worse for a few reasons.
One: Resources, more specifically oil, were running out, causing shortages and no doubt layoffs too.
Two: The wakeup moment was likely much worse. For us, it was over a decade of wearing down and gradual decay in Vietnam. For Fallout Americans, it was the sudden invasion of Alaska. Not only was this more quick and shattering for morale, but it also drastically cut off one of the last sources of oil.
Three: During our own times, the 50's optimism only had 2 decades max to really set in. For Fallout America, that time was extended by a century. Yeah, having that optimistic feeling that's been all around your whole life suddenly disappear like that can is disorienting.
Four: Warmongering and fearmongering from major companies, specifically Vault-Tec, as well as the government to an extent, wore down on Americans very hard.
So yeah, I imagine it was sort of like that. Just before the nuclear exchange happened however, I imagine that there were a couple growing groups of people that were springing up. One was likely those that were dissatisfied by the government, and turned to other means to either relieve that frustration or act out on it. Another was those who were more hardened and aware of what exactly was going on, essentially a mixture of our 1980's and 2010's attitude. Of course, there were those that clung, almost delusionally for some, to the hope of things returning to normal.
Not a whole lot really. If you've read some of the story notes at the end of part 1, I mentioned that the eastern half of the pacific northwest got off pretty lightly, largely due to a mixture of fewer targets, more anti-missile defences, and the Cascade and Coastal ranges largely keeping the fallout to the west. In fact, most of the only nukes that got through and hit Cascadia were bombers, meaning that their loads were lighter.
However, there are still a few 'radiation zones' however, and occasionally a small radstorm starts in one. However, the Displacement Zone shouldn't have much to worry about, as all major radstorms are west of the Cascades. However, a few particularly strong radstorms have managed to get passed the mountains, if only in a slightly weakened state. These often were very damaging and resulted in the final nail in the coffin for many communities and species of animals or plants that were barely clinging onto life.
Thankfully, those storms were only present in the early days, and the last one to get east was a century ago, and even then it only managed to make it a dozen miles or so east before tapering off. So we probably/possibly/maybe won't have to deal with any.
While that would for the most part be true, it's not quite in this case. While many bases are built near towns, in this case it was a town built near a base so to say. Most of the people there already have an eligable family member in the military, usually at the base. The rest already work buisnesses and such to support said base and town. Also, while there are a few reservists in town, do keep in mind that just a short period of time ago, there was a frontline just a couple hours drive north of them, and that there are still conflicts with guerillas and 'Chinese supported groups'. As a result, many would likely be stationed closer to the border.

Okay, so this is very close to my previous plan, but with a couple of changes, which are as follows:
Regarding the radio tower, its nice, and certainly useful, but it's far less complicated than actually getting a surveillance satellite into orbit. While a radio tower could be built, albeit perhaps with some difficulty if resources are scarce, a satellite uplink is irreplaceable. The surveillance satellite also allows us to swap out the recon aircraft squadron for something a bit more useful.
So, I decided to remove the recon and helicopter attack/transport sqaudron, exchanging them for heavy bombers and interceptors. The Heavy Bombers likely won't see much use, but have incredible strategic value, and will allow us to wreck any high-tier enemies we encounter. Likewise, while interceptors also probably won't see much use, if we encounter an enemy with aircraft they'll be able to help us retain air superiority.
I've kept the fighters and heavy attack helicopters, as the former are versatile, and can perform well both in terms of tactical bombing runs and air superiority, while the latter provide devastating local fire support. The heavy attack helicopters do have attack/transport helicopters as well, with more firepower than vertibirds but less troop capacity. That means we shouldn't suffer too much from not having vertibirds, although I definitely want us to get our hands on some if we can.
Moving on to the army, and I've swapped one Mechanized Battalion for an Artillery Battalion. My logic here is mostly that this will allow us to reverse engineer and produce our own dedicated artillery, rounding out are capabilities in the long run. Power armor is great, but it doesn't make everything else obsolete. Standard artillery is also a bit more versatile than either the light or field variants, and seems a decent compromise in that respect.
If anyone has any final thoughts, then please let me know. However, I am reluctant to make changes unless they are small and have unanimous support.

--[X] (Requires Advanced communications equipment) Satellite uplink: When the area around the base was displaced in time, it turns out the radius went straight up into space. With this, 1 prewar communications and surveillance satellite is available, and links can be set up with up to 3 other normal satellites (Total: 25 energy).
--[X] Library: This library contains material both literature and practical knowledge, with the latter primarily composed of military textbooks/technical manuals, stories/journals of old war stories, and American history textbooks, to inspire young soldiers to remain patriotic (+5 morale, -1 turn to specialized training, Total: 5 energy).
--[X] Medbay: Allows for soldiers to be better treated, with a capacity of up to 50 wounded (-1 to turn recovery, +5 to survival role for mortally wounded, Total: 10 energy).

Hi guys, just thought I'd let you know that the second version of my plan is up. If you notice any mistakes, please let me know!

Don't forget to add your vote for marriage/kids! Might make it easier for the QM to tally, although having two votes going at the same time will be a bit of a mess.

We at PPS are proud to present the cost effective and personal protection you deserve, the Pulowski Preservation shelter! These wonderful product can be located at every street corner and fully capable of protecting you and your belongings.
I'd imagine the base would have some thicker walls and maybe a reinforced bunker underneath for the
command staff. But rad-storm is a post war thing.
Nobody has fallout shelters? There are no government buildings besides the base that can act as one? Do we have NBC suits for our normal soldiers?
As soon as our character finds out about the apocalypse, how there is still radiation after 200 years and about rad storms? We're going to have to radiation proof our entire community.
This is the best plan we can make for what we want to do. I can't argue with the logic of replacing the armory and radio tower with a satellite uplink and standard arms bay.
