This defines the sidebar image used for a veteran version of this unit. Normally this can only be seen whenever a Spy infiltrates either a Barracks or a War Factory, thereby enabling production of veteran units.
The general naming convention of this cameo is:
____uico.shp
where ____ is the first four letters of your cameo's filename. Cameos should generally have an 8-character filename followed by the .shp extension. Normally this would be ____icon.shp, but veteral icons are usually given the suffix of 'uico' instead.
This tag generally is only applicable to Infantry, Vehicle and AircraftTypes, as you cannot spy on an enemy structure to get the ability to build 'veteran buildings' as they do not exist in an unmodded YR.

If you do not know how to add a cameo, read the Adding A Cameo tutorial on this page.
