OOC: I'm new - please tell me if this is unrealistic etc

These are the results of an initial survey into our military abilities.

Total personel: 400,000

Airforce: non-existent due to economic reasons
Navy: several (not counted, less than 50) 3-man gunboats.

Infantry: 360,000 - 12 divisions of 60 batallions of 10 units of 50 men
In each unit:
- 40 men, armed with M16s, 3 fragmentation grenades, smoke grenade, flashbang, and a beretta P9
- 2 snipers, armed with SR-60 rifles and Makarov pistols
- 2 teams of 2 men, with one M260 rocket launcher, and a makarov pistol each
- 4 unarmed medics

This leaves our 40,000 men in armoured divisions:
5 divisions of 10 units of 200 AMX 30 tanks with four-man crews (info at http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/europe/amx-30.htm)

As you can see, we have a moderate amount of ground troops, not all are needed to protect our nation. For this reason, we would be interested in opening negotiations to exchange the availability (on 1 weeks notice) of a negotiable amount of our ground forces, in exchange for naval and air protection (we would want some static defences, such as anti-aircraft defences near our capital, Token)
