*SECRET IC*

<MAFCC War Office>

The decision was made. After hours of endless bickering and fighting amongst the leaders of the four armed forces came to an agreement. The recent terrorist attacks on Exmouth, and the subsequent crippling of the 1st CBG, assigned to the Home Fleet, had shaken MAFCCP to its very roots. It was time for change, and change they would make. The new King was more than happy to fund it, he was an avid fan of his military toys.

They had decided on one of the most radical plans ever drawn up in the history of the McLeodian Armed Forces. It took everything back to square one, starting with a major reshuffle of the forces organisation, and a severe trimming of useless adminstrative staff. Then contracts for trillions of pounds were awarded to McLeodian Military Industries and McLeodian Aeronautical Engineering for the refitting of the Army, Air Force, parts of Border Patrol, and the newly formed SOCOM, now a completely seperate entity from the Army. The forces were to nearly triple in size over the coming years, granting McLeod03 its rightful place amongst the superpowers. A new day was dawning, and the sun was shining on these few men, sat around a table, spending trillions of pounds at the drop of a hat.

The Airborne Special Infantry Force comprises the Royal Armed Forces sole airborne infantry unit. Granted access to any transport aircraft or helicopter in the Armed Forces, the ASIF are widely regarded as one of the leading Airborne units in the world. Capable of dropping into and securing an airfield or landing zone unsupported, the ASIF have recently been up-gunned to the M-8C carbine and MMI-4 sidearm. The unit also incorporates the old Airborne Armour units, the first of their type in the world. Designed to move light battle tanks and fighting vehicles behind enemy lines, the ASIFAA utilises adapted MV-54 transports to carry their tanks and troops behind enemy lines to support Airborne operations.

They are blessed with unswerving loyalty to the King, and rate his life above all else, including the lives of a Guardsman's family. Their uniform is easily recognisable, with long dark blue cloaks falling from stylised combat helmets, and full length carbon-boron body armour that covers almost every part of their exposed body. Each Guard is trained in sword-fighting and hand-to-hand combat, and equipped with the finest weaponry in the Empire. Their body armour, with small hydro-actuators to help ease the load, carries holsters and sheaths for an M-8C carbine, an MMI-7 machine pistol, an MMI-4 sidearm, two throwing knives, a twelve inch combat knife, and a sheath for a two-handed titanium broadsword.

<22nd Regiment - The Night Stalkers>

The Night Stalkers are the elite of the elite. The best of the best of the McLeodian Military. Drawn from other elements of SOCOM, a Stalker would have seen combat hundreds of times before the selection process, a gruelling month long affair, designed to single out the most suitable candidates from the fifty offered a place each year. Their trademark weapon is a black metal combat knife, heavily triangulated along the blade, meaning the wounds it causes are deep, and difficult to treat. The 22nd Regiment is the smallest combat unit in the Royal Army, consisting of no more than 150 men, divided into 5 companies, Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, and Echo. Each company consists of five squads of six commandos, with each squad named by its members.
