4. Background, Flag, and Hymn of the Houston School of Armored Warfare:

Background: The Houston School of Armored Warfare (HSAW) was established in the 1950s in Houston, Texas, at the height of the Cold War and long before Japanese Sensha Do was created. Back then, it was an armor school for future US Army Tankers. When Sensha Do was introduced into the US as Tankery in the 1980s, the school itself was converted into a Tankery school, following the guidelines of the United States Tankery Organization, which allowed boys to participate, unlike the Japanese version, which is strictly female. In the 1990s, the Đổi Mới reforms in Vietnam allowed Vietnamese people, or Americans of Vietnamese origin, to participate in this sport, and to do that, the school was once again converted into a Vietnamese-American Tankery school, due to Houston serving a large Vietnamese population and serving as a launching point for future US Army, US Marine, and Vietnamese Army tankers. The subjects taught here are 50% English and 50% Vietnamese, so even the Americans in this school understand Vietnamese, just like their fellow compatriots serving alongside them. The school went on to win almost every US National Tankery championships except for in 2001, where 9/11 happened and some of the boys were immediately sent into the warzones of Afghanistan and Iraq. This is the reason why all of the boys in this school are already members of their branches, such as Lance Corporal An here, serving with the US Marines. With that, this school's Tankery Team is battle hardened from the experiences learned in Afghanistan, Iraq, and beyond, and they have successfully utilized the tactics of the Quân Giải phóng Miền Nam Việt Nam (QGPMNVN) (known as the Việt Cộng in US literature) and have converted those infantry tactics into armored warfare tactics, with their famous hit-and-run attacks, while utilizing 2 of the most modern high tech tanks out there, the T-14 Armata, and the M1A2C Abrams. This school also teaches advanced courses on infantry tactics and special operations, making them lethal both on foot and in a tank, with their skills akin to even Delta Force. All of this combined, makes them a deadly adversary and a dread to face for enemies on the field.

A/N: Of course, only the Americans know this. The Japanese girls will learn soon enough >:)

Flag:

Keeping true to their predecessors, they use the former QGPMNVN (Việt Cộng) flag as their official flag. Execpt the meaning is slightly different:

-Red: For the Socialist Republic of Vietnam

-Blue: For the United States of America

-Yellow Star: Union between the two countries

Hymn:

National Anthem of the Quân Giải Phóng Miền Nam-Giải Phóng Miến Nam (Liberate the South)
