Filecard information:
Code Name: MAJOR STORM
GENERAL COMMANDER
File Name: Swanson, Robert G.
SN: 785-2113-GE00
Primary Military Specialty: General Commander
Secondary Military Specialty: Long Range Artillery Officer
Birthplace: Providence, Rhode Island
Grade: 0-4
MAJOR STORM accumulated his skills the hard way - in the field. He's forgotten more about armor tactics than most tank commanders will ever know in their lifetimes. He is a battle hardened warrior who has driven the big ones — the M-60A1 and the MlAl all-purpose battlefield crusher. To him, the General is just another heavily-armored chunk of government hardware that was designed to defeat Cobra - it's just bigger than anything he's ever commanded.
"From the commander's seat of the General, Major Storm can scan the battlefield with an amazing array of sensors, including third generation image intensifiers, infrared detectors, pulse doppler radar and laser range finders. All this electronic hodge-podge is controlled by an advanced computer guided system that only the Major can decipher. The General boasts more firepower than an entire 155mm howitzer battery and its anti-aircraft defense system is second to none! To the dismay of the crew who keep it rumbling, Major Storm still refers to it as 'his tank'!"
