INI reference EnumsCategoryType

Classification tokens that infantry, vehicle, aircraft and building types can set, read only by the dropship loadout screen.

Engine enum: CategoryType
Input form: Named token

Only Civilian has an effect. An InfantryType with Category=Civilian is left off the dropship loadout screen when the scenario lists no AllowableUnits. Category gives the details. The other ten categories change nothing.

Each category has a short and a long spelling, and Category= accepts either in any letter case. For example, recon vehicle and Recon name the same category. Soldier and Civilian are spelled the same both ways; the table pairs the other nine.

Short token	Long description
`VIP`	`VIP/Agent`
`Recon`	`Recon Vehicle`
`AFV`	`Armored Fighting Vehicle`
`IFV`	`Infantry Fighting Vehicle`
`LRFS`	`Indirect Fire Support`
`Support`	`Misc. Support Vehicle`
