>Topic: Non-Human Military Suitability
>Species: Manticore
>Physiological Assessment
<Wings: Testing has confirmed 'Manticore' wings unable to maintain flight or controlled glide under standard combat loads. While capable of slowing a decent from short heights, injury risks considered too great to be considered relevant tactical advantage. Furthermore, wing structure extremely vulnerable injury as a result of shrapnel. Protection of wing structure infeasible due to weight.
<Tail: Combat applicability considered nil. Gathered data referred to intelligence agencies for further research into potential applications.
<Hands: Structure of hands impedes operation of most equipment without substantial modification. Stress upon logistics system considered unacceptable.
>Psychological Assessment:
<Impulsiveness, solitary and aggressive nature results in frequent clashes with commanding authorities. Lone assignments more likely to result in satisfactory discipline.
>Final Assessment: Ineligible for combat duty. Refer all 'Manticore' applicants to Civil Border Defense Force.
