As it is known, under paragraphs 4 and of the Ali'Staan Accord, the members set up a Rapid deployment force as follows


4. Rapid Deployment Force

The Accord will maintain a common fund, to which each nation will contribute the equivalent of one billion dollars per year.
This money will be used to create a common Rapid Deployment Force for the protection of the members of the Accord.
Every nation will also contribute 10,000 troops to the RDF.



This thread is for the discussion of nations' contribution to the Accord and of our decision of the mainstay RDF (and, if the nations agree) RDF calibers, weapons etc.
Allanea will contribute the following:

1 Allanean Marine Corps Divsion (10,000 infantrymen, using 1,000 BMP-3U's)

5 Yekaterinburg-class Supercarriers and 200 Ann Coulter Mark II fighter-bombers (carrier-capable). The Yekaterinburg-class supercarrier has a capacity of about 110 aircraft and will be used as a staging and logistics platform for the marines.

Furthermore, 10 billion dollars will be contributed by Allanea.

The Marines use the M-16AL (Allanean) rifle in the 6.5mm Grendel round, which is effective out to 1000 yards/950meters.

Yallak will over the next few months train a further 10,000 Assult infantry to add into the RDF. This men will be complimented with the standard armoured detachment.

The Emperor has also seen fit to donate a sum of Imperial currency to the value of $130 000 000US.

What will the troops be equipped with? We suggest using a common rifle caliber.

What will the troops be equipped with? We suggest using a common rifle caliber.

Any ideas about standards, anyone?

Any ideas about standards, anyone?

Why not the standard NATO rounds?

5.56x45mm NATO
7.62x51mm NATO
9x19mm Parabellum/Luger
.45 Auto/ACP
12.7x99 BMG (.50 cal)
40x46mm Grenade

Those are the basic calibres used by all the weapons in my military's arsenal, they're commonplace so we'll never have problems acquiring any and everyone knows them.

We suggest, Aequatio, that the main rifle caliber be the 6.5mm Grendel if only for the reason that the RL USA is considering it. It is as long as the 5.56 rifle round, but more efficient, having an effective range of about 1000 yards.

I suggest staying with a 5.56mm round, but using blended metal ammuntion instead of regular bullets. This's what the Ineffable Armed Forces uses as standard. It's also what the US is considering as an alternative to the 6.5mm, but they're reluctant to use it because of the damage it can cause. A single bullet of this type, is hitting a limb, is likely to take it off. On the torso or head, it'll probably result in an instant kill. One bullet.

Thanks you for the donation.

not sure if i've been accepted yet, but if i am, 1 airborne division shall be put in w/ matinence and support staff including the planes they need.

Muktar will contribute 1 Legion from Infantry, Land Armor, and Air Force, each. Stats of Legions (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=147312). Funding will be made is required.

I just had a thought. Do we want an accord forum?
If so I can easily set one up, I did both the Metus and (current, the third generation) GDODAD forums.

Ooh, and I forgot to add that I donate 200 Samurai class attack helicopters. Shouldn't there be a post totalling everything up?
*opens a notepad file*

Edit: Meh, I'll total it up myself...

I personally believe we do need a board.

TST, do you have MSN or similar?

P.S. I assume the payment of 1 billion per year per nation as the RDF budget.

What will the troops be equipped with? We suggest using a common rifle caliber.

They were going to be issued with P-90s but can be changed to whatever is deemed as the standard

Can't forget my donation!

20,000 Imperial Gaurd Assault Troopers
200 B-747 Bomers (of course, it is a modified 747)
2,000 E-3 Robin fighting vehicles
Battleship Visigoth
200 CAS-01 Jaguar bombers


And as the Military Advisor, I advise that we accept the Grendel as our calibre, and that we co-develop an assault rifle to be our standard rifle.
I have other suggestions, such as tank standards-but those will wait until more secure communication is established. (we get our own board, is what)

The troops which i will donate are as follows (1billion is included)

Troops:
10,000 Assault Troops (accompanied with assualt craft if needed)

Carrier Battle Group:
1 Lunar Class Carrier
2 Ticonderoga Crusiers
2 Thatcher Class Destroyers
2 Ardent Class Gided Missile Frigates
2 Furor Supply Ships
