The RSCM is the Army and marines of RavenStad, post on boats and on land, able to attack both ways. The RSCM is better trained then most nations Infentry or marines but at a cost, they are also a hell of a lot smaller in number. Your Average RSCM would spend 12-18 months in basic training, Officers get an extra 6 months training and this includes specialist training (Explosives, Snipers etc) for whome ask for it.

RSCSM RavenStad Colonial SpecOps Marines (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/corpsac/RavenStadColonialSpecOpsMarine.jpg)

An Elite group of men and women, picked from the best of the RSCM.

All RSCSM M41a's have Inbuilt Flash Suppressors for effective night time mission, since the RSCSM is trained to work mostly at night.1

The RSCM

The RSCM set up is rather simple, divisions contain 2 Brigades that contain 4 Infantry Regiments plus 1 Armor Battalion and 1 Artillary Battalion (each Armor and Artillary Battalion having intotal 360 units of armor/Artillary).Where the RSCM is different then most armies of the world is the set up of a platoon.

A Marine Platoon (25 Marines) has 1 platoon commander (Lieutenant) and 2 sections, A and B. Each section has its commanding sergeant, a Hind C (own design) crew of 2 Marines, 1 APC driver (incase of tank crew comes from Armor Core) and two squads. Each squad has two teams: Fireteam A through H (1st and 2nd Sections). Each team has 2 Marines. Fireteams A,C,E,G are called the Rfile teams and both marines carry the M41A assault Rifle. Fireteams B,D,F,H are the Gun Teams with one marine carrying the M41A assault rifle and one marine carrying a LMG.
The commanding sergeant of section A is second in command (2iC.), he will replace the platoon commander if the commander is killed or incapacitated. The commanding sergeant of section B is 3iC. Each squad has a squad leader in the rang of corporal. In case all superior officers and NCOs are killed or incapacitated command will fall to the corporal with the highest fireteam letter designation (from A on top down to H).

Senator Evana Mila

One of the most powerful Senators in RavenStad, tiped to be the next presidant in upcoming elections. Born in 1980 on June 2nd but due to complcations her mother died during labor. Life was tuff up till the age of 11 when it got worse, until she was 11 her father blamed her for her mothers death. Sometime after her 11th her father started to see some of her mother in her (you can guess what happened next and is the reason i wont go into detail), by the age of 13 during an attack from her father she killed him (beating him over the head with a metal box) this was the point she ran away from home.
At the Age 15 she joined an underground movement agenst the Dicatorship Goverment that took power in the fall of the sovert union, during 95 her group one of the major players in the civil war. She became one of the best Sharp shooters in the group (made in onto the top 10 most wanted with the old goverment).
After the civil war she went back to school and work hard for the next 5 years in poltics and became the youngest Senetor to gain so much power (being only 25). Shes a powerful voice on the Presidant but can be one of the most evil and maniputive woman you will ever meet. She is someone you dont want to cross if you know whats good for you.

Nikon, Chief of Intel

Not much is know about Nikon all that is know is hes not a man to cross. His jobs for life in his eyes and its the one job that is for life. All that is know is that during the civil war he was working for the Corporations for intel gathering and that infact it was he who planed the final attack that ended teh war, tho he denies this and tells people its just rumers.
Nikon can get things done and get any infomation you can think off, his network of agents grows each day and thats how he likes it.

Jack Black, Presidant of the Republic of RavenStad

Jack is a man of the people, he never took up arms during the civil war and infact lead an uneventful like till he got elected. The onyl reason for that was he reminded the people of themselves. takes most of his advice from Evana and when it goes wrong he takes the brunt.

Ravenstad,
I am impressed with your nation.
There may be a home for you in our region, why don't you send one of your people over to have a look?
Brusca

The Rainbow Bridge

im interested in moveing to your region, it looks active and to me thats all that matters (aswell as friendly but active is more important).

Well that is good news Ravenstad.
I will ask the Alliance members to have a look at your nation and discuss the matter, though I see no problems.
Meanwhile, if you wish to ask me any questions about ourselves please feel free, we have nothing to hide.
