Two new infantry units have been formed within the ranks of the Phoenix Milita.
These units draw from Army, Militia, Navy, Marines and Airforce special operations and infantry personnel.

The KOP, or Knights of the Phoenix is the most elite infantry unit on the face of the earth. Skilled in every aspect of man-to-man fighting, experts in everything from mortars and rocket launchers, to knives and ju-jit-su, these hardcore veteran troops are the new heart of the Phoenix Milita Armed Forces!
(think USArmy SF + Navy SEALS + UK SAS)

The SPX, or Sons of the Phoenix specialzes in Light-Infantry operations, Airborne and Air-Assualt operations and behind-the-lines raiding operations.
These smart, brave young men are the new life-blood of the Phoenix Milita.
(think USArmy Rangers + Marine Force Recon + Elite Paratroopers)


Active Personnel:
KOP: 42,000
SPX: 156,000

>>>more information to be provided later <<<

The new KOP Battle Dress Uniform camo patterns have been released, almost all of the patterns, except woodland, go for confusion over concealment, with obvious attempts to make identification on the battlefield easier
