I've been thinking about the 'convential military couldn't help because of
the high level of firepower required to take down a Youma'.

Given some convincing, if you could get the USA youma hunting, it wouldn't
matter that much that you'd need lots of explosives.  Think of a combination
of Special Forces with laser targeters and F15/F16/A10 air support with 2k
pound bombs.  Sure, it might cost a block or so per attack, but considering
the alternatives it might be worth it.  Don't forget that during the fist
gulf war, we came out with a NEW bunker buster in under a month.  I'm sure
that given proper incentive, the USA wouldn't be working on a variantion of
anti-tank rounds.  Maybe some sort of missile with a directed 'shotgun'
charge.  And I think that an alien invasion would be plenty of motivation.
