“

The Supply Center dispenses Chinook helicopters to retrieve supplies from the nearest depot. While Chinooks are vulnerable to anti-air fire, they can cross any terrain, including mountains, to keep your Supply Center full of resources and money. - Generals manual(src)

”

The Supply center is the processing center for supplies of American armies in Generals 1.

Background

The building is intended as a supply drop site (beside the more exclusive supply drop zone), material processing center, and supply storage facility. As with the Chinese and GLA counterpart, the structure can be used to call in additional Chinooks (Combat Chinooks in the case of General Malcolm Granger).

The building is capable of storing a large (if not unlimited) amount of materials. Materials gained from paradropped supplies are also stored here. In addition to collecting from Chinooks, the structure may also cater friendly supply trucks and workers, should the player have use of these non-USA supply gathering units.

The building is susceptible to sabotage and theft by enemy infiltration units.

Game building

The center costs $2000, and comes with a single Chinook (or Combat Chinook in Malcolm Granger 's case) with the ability to call more.

Chinooks gather supplies with a net and bring the goods back to the Supply Center, giving $600 with each trip.

The Supply Center is vulnerable to Black Lotus/Super Lotus who can steal money from the Supply Center, as well as the Chinese Cash Hack.

Production

Chinook Aerial supply collector and transport, can perform combat drop Rangers into a garrisoned building.
