Fighting alongside the multi-national battlegroups of the European Continental Army, battle-hardened units of the national militaries of Europe form a critical component in the war effort. Many of these units have survived four years of continuous, high-intensity fighting, often outnumbered and even isolated against the Russian forces. Their combat experience makes them superior to standard "blue" ECA troops and field commanders can summon them to the Deployment Zone to support their operations.

In the 2030s, the Jagdpanzer Mammut (or Jagdmammut) was a manifestation of the Bundeswehr's return to a doctrine centred on territorial defence in Europe. Highly motorised, heavily armoured and armed with two 140mm guns, it held the record of being Germany's biggest, meanest war machine prior to the appearance of the Manticore tank. To make the concept of a double barrelled turretless tank work, the designers developed a unique gas-hydraulic hydropneumatic suspension that would allow the tank to "lean" itself for precision targeting, coupled with an intelligent fire control system that allowed the gunner to lock on to a target on the move and then automatically fire whichever gun first aligned on the target.

During the Third World War, the Panzerjäger battalions of the Bundeswehr consistently maintained a higher kills-to-losses ratio than the Leopard-equipped units and produced a long list of war heroes. Gunner Felix Nguyen was injured during the Russian Vistula offensive and remained in his damaged tank after his comrades had evacuated and single-handedly destroyed six T-72s before he died. During the Russian advance through France, the crew of Commander Matteo Ruhland destroyed over a hundred tanks and came close to matching the most famous German tank aces of World War II. After Operation Pandora and the liberation of France, the crew of Commander Johanna Schwarz were the first European soldiers to make it eastward across the Rhine, into Russian-occupied Germany.
