As our imposing convoy escorts are no longer threatened by cowardly local militias, our ships have gone without combat for nearly a month. In an effort to keep our troops from getting rusty, we are selling their services to any country in need of them.

What we do;
-Scouting
-Escort
-Search & Rescue
-Hostage retrieval
What we don't do, but will if we are forced;
-Open combat

We don't fight your battles for you. We take secondary roles, like mentioned above, so your troops can get to the front.

What's for sale;

Payment contract; You will pay for wages, fuel, expended ammunition and for any damages inflicted by the enemy. A day with no combat, just sitting at port with engines off, comes to B41,600 ($80,000)

ooc: Tell us what thread to post in for combat!

OK, I got an immediate job for you.

In this thread, (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=363850) the terrorists plan to escape by helicopters. We'd like to pay to use your forces to intercept them over international waters, or if needed, the heliport they intend to land at. We'll pay any amount of money.

The new People's Republic of Sinear would like you to spare any forces you can, and scoure our small nation for any terrorist or terrorists smypathizers that may still be within out borders. The cities of Rahaz and Tarek are the major cities that need to be searched, for any terrorists.

Dispatching troops

(OOC: I'm taking out Sinearin terrorists, right? Loyal to Kalantar?)

Sinearian and Farmina terrorists

Baron von Steuben and Henry Ford have been sent to deal with the terrorists.

I am looking for mercenaries to train counter-terrorism units. Why should I choose yours over someone else?

Counter-terrorism is VERY important to us. Our capitol, Bahbia City, is one big building on one little island (ooc: Vinalhaven island, off of Maine.) All buildings there have merged into one giant structure over time (we ran out of room, so we had to build up.) Can you imagine the damaging effects of a small nuclear device, or a biological weapon in there? We would be crushed! Over half of our population, Air Corps and Navy is based there! To defend our country, all ports are closely monitored, 15 laser cannons defend from missile attack, and every citizen needs at least four years in the military. We have foiled over 42 terrorists attacks in our country's history. Not once has a terrorist succeeded. That's why you should choose Bahbland for your counter-terror needs.

However, if your country has found another counter-terror educator who you think will do a better job, please choose them, for the sake of your people.

Having heard from you and Malkyer, I have to say that you both sound promising. Would you mind prehaps working together? Please let me know if this is agreeable.

That is fine with me. Malkyer?

(Dispatches two dozen counter-terror teachers to New Goliad in a Beechcraft Starship (http://www.airliners.net/info/stats.main?id=69))

It sounds like a good idea. Seeing as you have already dispatched two dozen instructors, we shall send 30 men to assist in teaching and to accompany New Goliad's units in the field, at least for awhile.

30 men of the 1st and 7th Platoons, B Company, have been sent to New Goliad along with Captain James Rykin, Regimental Director of Intelligence.

Excellent!

OOC:
Are we going to RP the training and fighting terrorists or just leave it at this? Just wondering.

New Goliad, here's your terrorism survival guide;

-Identify potential targets (dams, schools, government buildings, large buildings...)
-Identify sources of hostility (re: terror groups,) and assess capabilities (what could they do?)
-Identify possible defenses for those potential targets (missiles, police, etc.)
-Know where aid stations can be set up, nearest hospitals, fire stations, etc. for these areas

All that's good, but here are another couple of guidelines:

-Don't put things terrorist may want to bomb near other things they may want to bomb (i.e., don't put soldiers in a school or hospital unless civilians have cleared out). Force them to divide their resources.
-Aid stations and command centers are good targets, especially during times of panic and confusion. I suggest devoted guard teams, and mobile command centers (i.e., inside an IFV or truck)
-Prioritze. If you have a list of potential targets, guard them based on accesibility, damage potential, etc. For instance, guard a nuclear power plant more than you would a hospital, unless the plant is on an island and the only way to get there is by boat. Then have naval or coast guard ships defend that, and station your ground forces at the hospital.

This last one is harsh, but it works:

-Hostages. If you fear people putting car bombs in front of your HQ, take hostages and kill them if something does happen. There's a lot less glory and honor for the terrorist if they get their whole family killed along with their enemy
