AERIAL FORCES

Jump Jet Infantry

While normal light infantry has the ability to cross most terrain they have problems with sheer cliffs and water to solve this dilemma. GDI developed jump jet infantry. These light infantyrmen have jet packs strapped to their backs allowing them to soar above the battlefield. This gives GDI the ability to send surgical strikes into critical locations regardless of terrain. On the ground, Jump Infantry are no different than their ground--hugging cousins, In the air, they are safe from anything but rockets and SAMS, both of which will kill them quickly.

Orca Fighter

The standard GDI military aircraft is the Orca Fighter. Orca Fighters combine speed and power to form an effective package. While vulnerable to any Nod units equipped with rockets and virtually defenseless against SAMs, Orca Fighters are a powerful addtion to any strike force. Their speed  makes them doubly effective because you can get them into battle and out again before Nod forces can react. Orca Fighters are best used in large groups of a half dozen or more; their combined might can confront any target, including deadly SAM sites.

Orca Bomber

The natural complement to the Orca Fighter is the Orca Bomber, heavier, slower, and better--armored the Orca Bomber alone doesn't have the best chance of survival against anything but Nod forces that are unable to target airborne enemies. Supported by Orca Fighters, however, the Bombers can deliver devastating attacks on ground installations, Nod bases and attack convoys the heavy bombs dropped by these aircraft can be used to destroy a Nod base but they are most effective at softening up the defenses in preparation for a ground attack. You will never need many Bombers but a few can turn the tide of battle in you favor.

Orca Carryall

For rapid deployment, nothing is as useful as this massive aircraft. while the Carryall is a noncombatant it can transport military vehicles to and form the battle field quickly sending fresh units into the fray and pulling back damaged ones to be repaired. Most importantly Carryalls can be used to transport you Harvester to and from Tiberium fields allowing for much more rapid harvesting.
