Offer of Military Bases and Request for Elite Forces Training

Gregory Pelican has been appointed as the new head of the Foreign Office. In his debut speech as First Home Secretary, he makes commitments which have never before been outlined in a foreign policy document; namely, the pursuit of 'liberty and prosperity' in the world at large by military means if necessary, and the possibility of mutual defence between Thrace-Tailteann and allies.

"... To this end, we are looking for nations who seek liberty and prosperity.
We offer to set up military encampments in the territory of free and friendly nations who seek employment, protection and liberty;
We request the aid of an established military power to train the elites of our army; as our nation is slow to anger, even our best brigades have only a few weeks of actual combat experience;
We offer our assistance to those free nations who live under the fearsome shadow of terror." -G Pelican, 19 July

As of today, the Department of Defence and Foreign Affairs acts upon the Pelican Directive. We would like to build barracks for divisions of the Republican Armed Forces in nations of good repute, and to send our best soldiers to benevolent and strong nations for training.

OOC: The thought occurs that "Benevolent and Strong Nations" already have a pretty good military and probably don't want someone elses' military bases in their Country.

Your best bet is probably to try and find a smaller Nation and sign a Defence Treaty with them...

The NAS has fought in a series of conflicts in recent years, most notably the Barokoyan Civil War, and the GovCorp Incident in the now re-established Generic Empire. The NAS's GSG9 Special Forces took part in both situations and would happily impart their experience onto Thrace-Tailteann's rookies.
