The armory is a GDI building in Tiberium Wars and Kane's Wrath which enables researching advanced infantry technologies and also heals damaged infantry units.
Background
The Armory is a two-story modular building housing storage for advanced equipment and weapons. It grants access to GDI's most highly trained soldiers, and also contains a medical bay that can heal wounded infantry, replacing lost soldiers with fresh reinforcements with the same level of veterancy. The Steel Talons subfaction do not use Armoury, as they primarily rely on tanks, Walkers and other vehicles.
