Wolfram sat within his office sipping a cold refreshing lemonade, the windows behind him revealed a vast spralling landscape of red sand and rock; the heat was unbearable. He looked down upon a engorged envelope sitting in his in-tray, the only piece of paper work this day. Carefully placing the lemonade on his floral painted coaster he took hold of the open strip and wripped the envelope open, then steeled himself for boredom.

President Wolfram,
As per your request I have begun drafting of the new Defence budget. Such a process has not been easy, sir, as you know that our Nation has only in recent years forged itself into the Nation it stands as today; as such our military is undertrained and under equiped. To help I have enlisted the help of neighbouring Nation Die Reborn Nazin, despite their unorthodox methods in governing they have a very capable long established defence force which is able to train our military and assist in building manufacturing infrastructure.
Thanks mainly to the generous Defence budget you have given us, along with the latest combining of the police and defence forces into one ministry, as well as the budget surplus you have siphoned our way I feel capable we will meet all the requirements of the coming war with YYTT if actual forces are needed.
Our main goals will be focusing on fast responce times, this means fluid communications and cooperation between all 5 forces under my ministry. Due to the moral guidelines so instringent within the populace and the willingness to work and respect the armed forces I foresee such problems as experienced by other nations will not be so immediate, we will still implement educational training in stopping force rivalries however. I have attached a series of documents detailing the military units.
Commander L. T. Surge
Scoffing at the mans name Wolfram shook his head and yawned, good news at least. Shifting the introduction aside Wolfram began to skim over military specs, factory locations, training programs, budget projections and responce capabilities. Everything seemed in good order.
Die Reborn Nazin's Contribution
The Nation of Die Reborn Nazin has managed to supply a small group of a few hundred training officers to design the new military curriculum and assist in the training of the soldiers themselves. Military engineers have also been sent from their arms industry to confer with our own scientists in designing and constructing factories and military equipment.
Restructuring of the Automobile Industry
As you are no doubt aware the use of automobiles was recently banned, this has left us with a surplus of steel, workers, and factories geared to producing vehicles, as well as a mass surplus of petroleum. Seizing upon such an oppurtunity we are now in the process of converting such automobile plants into military capable factories.
Naval Shipyards
In preparation for the construction of Naval ships we have begun construction of a series of Shipyards on our Northern Coastline, the rocky cliffs of the region provide for exellent cover when we have fully carved out the rockface. Protection from air raids will be more then adequate and there will be no overly outward signs of the shipyards presence. The incorpation of anti drag/wave hulls seems to be on the list.
Airforce
The airforce is key in our strategy and the majority of our forces will go to supporting and maintaining the air force. A series of helicoptors, yet undecided upon, will be used in Naval landings as well as within the Justice section of the military. We're looking at a variety of tactics, including small aircraft carriers with offensive weaponry. Effectively the Airforce will play a pivotal role in all military capabilities, we're looking at using hydrogen powered fuel cells to power the vehicles as they're cheaper and almost as efficient. We're not looking at long range capability at the moment, but such aircraft will be fitted with petroleum based engines instead.
Armed Forces
The land component of our military will be mostly moved around by the airforce and navy, but our tank divisions will be quite capable of moving themselves. For the most part we are looking at using special force teams rather than conventional infantry. As such our army forces will be incorporated largely with all other divisions, it is our hope that the lines will blur to nothingness and efficiency will be maximised.

Wolfram looked up from the notes, rubbing his eyes wearily, there was a stack of statistics futher below, and it looked like he had much of the day to continue reading. Such was war.
OOC: Yes. I know. Horrible post, I'm still working out how to draw up statistics for my military, so bare with me if you will. I'll try to get something up tomorrow that mentions actual weaponry and numbers. I haven't been in the roleplaying mood for a few weeks now, exam stress. The military is small right now, but the budget is pretty big.
