I think the NEMA Mission Books (or whatever they are called) will detail elements of the US Military. To what extent I'm not sure.
On the other hand I don't think it would be hard to make some adjustments from the NEMA OCC's to military OCC's. My guess is thats what we will see.
A alternative would be to also check out the Marine and Navy OCC's in Undersea's for some pre-rifts examples.
As for martial arts I have no idea.

Any martial arts in Chaos Earth would likely follow the fashion of Rifts Japan, not Ninjas & Superspies.

unfourtunatly. they took out chi abilites, which to me devaules them a good deal. futhermore, they hardly resemble each-other in terms of combat bonuses
it should have said "we glanced at and copy-and-pasted a few paragraphs of discritptions, not "derived from Erick Wujuks Ninja's and Super Spys" they bear only a passing resemblence in that the names are the same

The problem is the N&S martial arts would really overpower the classes if they didn't 'lower' them like they did.

perhaps you can use a Deticated MA OCC from N&SS as an individual who survived the great cataclysm who found his "Chi" powers evolved into super powers with the raised mystic energy levels.
Other elements of the US military (the NEMA is not the US military, right?) we have seen in Rifts. The New Navy has direct liniage to the US Navy/Marines and we know the Air Force had the USA Sam from Spirit West. I assume the Army had glitter boys and other NEMA (non glittery?) bots.

I too have used N&SS and Mystic China martial arts in Rifts, they work just fine, and don't over power my NPCs.

I just realized that, I screwed up there.
What I was going to say was that I use NSS and Mystic China martial arts in Rifts and it doesn't over power anything.
