USMC Corporal Melissa Foster has been mysteriously stranded in Equestria. She is determined to survive in a world she once thought fiction, using her wits and training, along with the help of a certain group of locals and another castaway from Earth.
Thanks for posting the story. There's a lot I like about it, but I'm struggling to like the primary character, and her apparent obsession with industrialisation.
I feel that the addition of magic means that a lot of assumptions about the 'best' solution to some problems may be wrong. Additionally the disadvantages of a sudden move to an industrial society (significant changes in roles making some cutie-marks obsolete, rapid migration to the unprepared (and presumably unhygienic) cities, and pollution for some examples) may outweigh the potential benefits. The introduction of new tech requires some basic infrastructure that would take a long time to set up and introduce, and I'm not sure she's taking that into account. I'm also a little worried by someone wanting to make missiles without having suitable to aim them at.
So thanks for writing the story, I did enjoy the first two chapters, but I think I'll drop it here.
