Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain the classification and history of armoured fighting vehicles with attribution, identify vehicles for historical and museum purposes, describe arms control and public safety aspects, and decline operational detail.

A military vehicle protected by armour and usually armed, designed to operate in combat, including tanks, tankettes, armoured personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles, armoured cars and wheeled armoured vehicles, mine-clearing vehicles and historical half-tracks; armoured fighting vehicles are described here at the level of history, classification and arms control, with attribution and without operational, tactical or technical detail that could assist harm.

What it is for: Armoured military vehicles.

It can be explain classification; support historical identification; describe arms control aspects; decline operational detail.
