The AVS 14 (Notreceauen military designation: Char Tonne 14 AVS Modèle 31-75) is a Notreceauen light tank produced between the years of 1950 and 1988 that saw heavy service in the Omandan Continental War. The AVS 14 was designed by Ateliers de construction d'Villeaines and manufactured by GIST Industries. The AVS was originally conceived for service in Huguîles, however the expansion of the Omandan Continental War into central and eventually Southern Omand made it an ideal light tank for campaigns in Costa Mejis, Rocha Sur, Joleste and Notreceau itself due to its ability to traverse rough terrain at good speed. The AVS 14 is equipped with an oscilating turret that utilizes a revolver-style magazine to maximize the number of ready rounds in the tanks relatively small turret. At the time of its retirement the AVS 14 was the longest serving armored vehicle in the inventory of the National Army of Notreceau. Because of the versatility of the AVS 14s platform a large number of variants fulfilling a variety of roles exists.
