Force shield

A Force Shield was an energy field produced over structures rendering it invulnerable to attack for a short period of time while the Field was active. During the Psychic Dominator Disaster all factions began to use it to protect vital structures from superweapons. Commanders may access it via the Battle Lab. However, the great amount of power required to activate a Force Shield will completely power down the entire base for a while, and afterwards it required a long amount of time to recharge. When used properly, it can be a lifesaver for desperate Commanders, but beware as using the Force Shield will momentarily drains power from all base defences.

The Soviet Iron Curtain can perform a similar role without draining power from a base, but its effective radius is smaller.

It was not used during World War III.
