GH-23M "Cricket" Infantry Dropship with MDR-A3 Bayonet Cargo Carriage (unattached)
The MDR-A3 Bayonet Cargo Carriage changed the face of warfare for the Corps. The ability to quickly and quietly bring heavy assault machinery immediately to the battlefield proved an invaluable asset. The MDR-A3 BCC was a cargo upgrade for the widely used GH-23 Infantry Dropship. The bulk of the frame held additional fuel for the required four extra engines. T.A.H. Bayonets were too heavy for a standard GH-23 to carry so the added engines were required to maintain speed. The rear engine/wings' pitch could be changed in-flight, providing maximum stability and thrust.
Although Crickets with MDR's were deployed with other heavily armed variants to ensure safety, each dropship could defend itself with it's crew of three Devil Dogs- the Bayonet operator, a support Marine, and GH-23 pilot.
