1 Team Yankee NATO Milan Section contains:
- 8 Milan Missile Teams
- 8 Small Two-Hole Bases
- 2 Unit Cards
The Milan missile is a modern man-portable, light anti-tank missile. Its small size makes the missile team easy to dig in and conceal, yet it can penetrate most tanks.
Despite the Australian Defence Force being an early adopter of missiles such as the ENTAC (a French ATGM adopted in the 1960s), the Milan missile system hasn’t entirely replaced the 106mm Recoilless. Its heavy weight has meant that cavalry and mounted units are the main users of this system. Crews prefer to operate near vehicles rather than manually carrying reloads.
Since its inception in 1949, NATO has been a community of free nations brought together with a common goal, to defend the freedom of Western Europe and North America. To do this Canada, France and the Netherlands deploy armoured and mechanised forces in West Germany.
