You could swap 7.62 NATO for something better - 6.5 creedmore would require little effort in conversion (barrels, chamber spacing?), but would it be worth the cost?
Something radical like CTA would help soldier load but that's a whole new weapon(s), ammo, infrastructure, etc...

There is one striking incoherence in the text: the document is all about America first.
But the very same document lists America’s “network of alliances” & “unmatched softpower” as assets, and speaks about “collective defence”.
If the US does what it describes in the doc, it will lose all that.

Actual archers were not that lethal, as we've discussed in depth repeatedly (e.g. acoup.blog/2025/05/02/c...); all-foot-archer comps are entirely viable in Bannerlord, but you'd have been insane to do that historically (even English armies had lots of men-at-arms).
