The Armed Republic of Sino, being a fondly militaristic and nationalistic nation would like to host or help prepare a contest where participating nations present their their best Honor Guards (Guards of Honor) in front of the select panel of judges (senior military officials).

Such an event would great for any nation's military. One of the key values of the military is discipline, we shall see which nation's military is the most disciplined and punctual.

The may even be ceremonial and BDU heats.

Any questions and comments?

BUMP

Is active camo allowed?

BUMP

Gentlemen, just take this as warfare without the bloodshed.

Is active camo allowed?

That's up to you, but for the judges to decide about the appearance of your troops.

All honor gaurds and personal gaurds of officials are judged on their ability to not be detected. Offense nothing, the best defense is not being seen. :wink:

OOC: What part of "modern tech" don't you understand?

So basically elite troops drilling?

(OOC: I have done this in real life. Absolutely blows.)

Even as w are far from our Motherworld Earth, we do have a Colonial Honor Guard. They would be glad to participate.

Although Reformed Rome is a fairly new nation, our small military does have the Praetorian Honor Guard to participate in such events. With the hosting nation's permission, Reformed Rome will enter this contest.

- Consul Marcus Iionlious
- Consul of Reformed Rome

We would like to participate, to improve diplomatic relations.

Not exactly drilling but marching in review. It shows pride and discipline. The Honor Guards are a corp of the military that specializes in ceremonial drills. Their drill movements are the most perfected of the force.

We just need to find a location.

By no means is such a tournament is going to be public knowledge just yet, but members of the ARSCF Honor Guard have noticed visible increases in the vigourous and hardcore daily training.

The Socialist Union of Kerla would like to display our elite troops, the Red Guard to partipate in the competition. We feel that our troops can do well and show the other nationstates the best well oiled fighting machine.

Hattia would be interested in sending a group of our Hat Guardsmen to this competition...

Good work. But there should be more participants.

OOC: Which RL nation(s)'s Gaurd of Honor did you copy off?

BUMP

We are still in need of a venue for this.

Do you mean the pics?

Otherwise, they aren't really similar to any nations. There are multiple types of Hat Guard units. Hat Guard generally signifies that they have had much more extensive training. Though not as much as our Red Hammer commando units, which IC few know of their existance. The ones we would send to the competition will probably be Army units.

Hmm, we are interested in this, and perhaps also interested in hosting such an event. If allowed, the Templars of the Republic would attend.

All are allowed provided that one obeys the fact that this is a modern tech RP.

((OOC: I am also unsure of the top pic.).

OOC: Since my telegrams function is crippled would someone please telegram other NS nations that may be interested? Thanks.

BUMP

So no one is interested?

Though not a militaristic or warmongering nation, Hell Bovines is proud of its very well trained elite corps, the Elite Duchian Guard, and so, we would be proud to participate in this interesting competition.

(OOC: A small question: Does "modern tech" mean that my corps trained in martial arts can't participate? - they can use guns and modern weapons, but they only do it in times of need, if not, they are encouraged to use martial arts -)

We would be interested in sending parts of the 77th Motor Rifle Division to the competition.

They are LRR's best drill unit, and will bring with them the Troubadours Battalion, the LRRA band, which has in its ranks 200 drummers, 250 Bassists, 200 Guitarists, 100 assorted brass players, 20 Theremin players, and 10 Synthesizer operators. The unit uses specially modified Land Rovers to carry their amplifiers, drums, lighting, and other equipment too heavy to be carried by individual troubadours. They have recieved very high ratings wherever they go, and their performance of If The River Was Whiskey is rated as one of the best.

As always if a nation's military feels like showing off its best drilling, thye should do it here. We also allow unarmed drilling. However, this is NOT a martial arts contests. So do not bother stopping in the middle of the drill ground and start throwing kicks and punchs at the air in front off.

This is not a military tattoo so keep the musicians aside.

General Zhang of the ROCA wishes to lead a company of his troops to compete at the ceremony. Understandably, obtaining permission for an event in Sino in the current political circumstances is rather difficult, so only a small number of men will be participating.

Xiaguo would like to participate.
Objections?

Sino is most willingly to welcome Zhang's participation. We are still searching for an place to host and house this event and currently we have San Gang (OOC: Would someone tell him about this), Xiaguo or _Taiwan in mind.

We bloody need to see the ROCA march, back in the days of Chiang, the R.O.C. didn't have separatist poofs like they do now! Bring on the nostalgia!

BUMP

Xiaguo would like to participate.

No objections! Finally someone we know is truly interested.

We must allow nations of all political creed to attend, even if a bunch of drunken anarchists marches, then let there be drunken anarchists to be laughed at.

Muktar is willing to participate. We have an organization of higly disciplined soldiers from the various city states known as the Raven Guild. We wish to know how many of their members to send.

The Imperial Guards of Taipeng and South Xiannese 7th Calvalry will both enter.

The Sinoese sword is one of Western Cavalry design, the inscription are: "ARSCF Guard of Honor" in both (traditional) Chinese and English. The Sinoese Executive Captain will be named shortly. Be sure as he will be the best there is.

The Socialist Union of Kerla glady accepts the inviation to host the miltary matching tournamanet. In fact it will be directed by the director of defense Bill Spirit himself. We find that this ia perfect oppunity to showcase our great country to the world.

The Secretary of the Ministry of the Republic will also be there to lead along side Kim Ke Song.

OOC-Yes, Sino, made a good point. As My nation Xiaguo is mainly based in Manchuria, the low plains make horses very important.

Duke Lenni, the official commander of the LRRMF, will lead the 77th Motor Rifle Division's Uhlans battalion, which will be the unit attending the competition. They will be riding BMW R65GS motorcycles, and a small band which will play "marching" music will be transported on a group of Land Rovers.

OOC: What did I say about excessive music?!

BUMP

OOC: What did I say about excessive music?!

The other guy said he would play military music while his troops marched and you said nothing 'bout it!

Yep, you said nothing about excessive music, we can play the music only when we're at the viewing point where the main audience is and the judges and important people etc so that the whole march won't sound like a buch of racket.

Just let is be brass bands and drums but none of that modern rock or pop crap. The military is the military not a pile of horse manure in uniform. But be sure that this is not a tattoo, a few piece of instrument is different to a stadium filled with military musicians.

Has Kerla organized a suitable location to host this?

General Zhang's 20 piece orchestra, wiht a combination of western and oriental instruments, have arrived at the venue.

General Zhang is currently flying to Sino on EVA airways.

OOC: Marching and drilling isn't such a bad idea.

OOC: Someone has never drilled for real...

The Socialist Union of Kerla has organized a location for the contest. With the World Cup going on we have decided to have it in our biggest city, Diamond City. It will be go through the main streets of Diamond City with the judges sitting up at the City Hall. We expect to have a lot of people so therefore we have prepared and have our police forces ready. Since we do not allow cars inside the city (only on highways and major roads) this will not be a problem. We hope that this acceptable to everybody.

Currently, all we have are Chinese nationalists and commies, we need nations of all political beliefs.
