The construction yard is the foundation of a base and allows the construction of other buildings in Red Alert.
Background[]
Construction yards and MCVs are used widely during the Second World War. The Allies and Soviets use identical designs. Generally, the construction yard completes all components before construction of the final structure begins at the desired location.
Legacy[]
After the war, the Allied replaced these structures with the Allied construction yard while the Soviets replaced them with the Soviet construction yard.
Game building[]
The construction yard is deployed from a mobile construction vehicle.
The construction yard can build the following structures:
