The focus seems to be

Spoiler: Focus

    focus = {
        id = USA_armored_infantry
        icon = GFX_goal_generic_build_tank
        x = 2
        y = 4
        prerequisite = { focus = USA_main_battle_tanks focus = USA_tank_destroyer_doctrine }
        relative_position_id = USA_selective_training_act
        cost = 10

        ai_will_do = {
            factor = 1
        }

        available = {

        }
        
        bypass = {

        }

        cancel_if_invalid = yes
        continue_if_invalid = no
        available_if_capitulated = no
        search_filters = {FOCUS_FILTER_RESEARCH}
        completion_reward = {
            add_tech_bonus = {
                name = USA_armored_infantry
                uses = 2
                bonus = 1.0
                category = motorized_equipment
            }
        }
    }

Which seems to give 2 research bonuses to category "motorized_equipment", which has been rebranded to truck after NSB logistics update.
Then, if I open up the infantry technologies page and ctrl f the category, we get...
truck, armoured cars 1, 2, 3, and ACAT, mek1, amphibious mek 1 and 2, mek2, mek3.
In the support page, we should have...
hospital and logistics, 1-4 for both.

When I start a new USA game, and focus.autocomplete and focus.ignoreprerequisites, I see the 2 research boosts listed on the research screen when you mouse over the bonuses

And clicking into all of the previously mentioned techs (that you don't start with) do show that the bonus would apply.


I can see in your screenshots that this seems to have been from a live game, and that you have both mek1 and armoured cars research, as well as actively researching mek2, which might have consumed your bonuses. I can't tell if you may have alternatively used them on hospital or logistics support techs.

Would you be able to confirm if you had started researching, or juggled any of the relevant techs, which might have consumed your bonuses?

In the mean time, I'll try to play through a bit of a more natural game, to see if naturally selecting the focus somehow doesn't trigger the bonuses.

Thank you for your answer. I don't recall having researched any support company or any other tech that could have used the bonus.

I tried a new game (no ironman), rushed that focus and now I see the speed bonus. My apologies for opening a false-bug thread. Not sure really what went wrong!
