My nation is going to have two Armies. They will be identical in all ways for the time being but will have two separate heads of army. Both will be under my President’s command though. They will work together and separate some times. I intend to maybe have different special divisions for each army, but I do not have that included. One will be the Omega Army (The Massive Ethiopians) and the other will be the Alpha Army (Third Jerusalem). As of now they are identical, but that will hopefully change.

Very good. All of that you posted will be difficult for me who types only with his left hand to do. very good! You might also want to think of having Airborne Divisions.

Thank you for the comment and yes I do intend to create an air force and a navy. My air force is going to be my pride and joy. Thank you or the comment!

OOC> I'm guessing that you have a pop of around 1.8 - 2.0 billion. Which means that, using the following formula of 1/10 of 1% of your pop is available for the military, then a maximum amount of military personnel would be about 2 million, in all branches.
You are claiming 2 armies of 300 divisions each with each division having 15,000 men. That comes to a total of 4.5 million men times 2, equalling 9 million men between the two armies. This means that you are using an unusually large percentage of your GNP to support the military. In reality, this would crush any nation's economy.
I'm just pointing this all out to save you the aggravation of having nations ignore you because your'e "godmodding" your military numbers. If I saw a nation your age coming at me with HALF of those numbers, I'd simply ignore you. Just wanted to point this out....no hard feelings.... ;)

Good. I would like to see that. The quote: "Airborne Divisions" meant Paratroopers.

Does the Cobra function as an APC/IFV? If it doesn't, you have two options.
Either your men ride on your tanks, or they walk everywhere. Infantry riding on tanks means that ERA isn't a possibility (which is the easiest way of ensuring those M-60s of your could hold their own against a modern MBT), plus they're vulnerable to snipers.

Also, you should get some Man-portable SAMs at the very least. With no organic air defense component, your troops will be butchered from the skies.
You mention the Air Force being your pride and joy, but it never hurts to have redundant air defences, rather then saying, "Bombers? Meh. My fighters will shoot them all down."

You can telegram me if you want some ideas for air defenses. Tyleri AA weapons are more prolific, since my military doesn't have a seperate dedicated Air Force.

As for your MBT, why the M-60? That's thing's kinda old, and it doesn't have as powerful a gun as some other tanks.

Also, throw in some Marine units. Without the ability to project power abroad, you just become another France.

The reason that they are so big is because that they are two nations combined. SOrry ifi didnt make the clear!

Following that formula the US military in all branches could not possibly exceed 250,000, which is obviously wrong. On the other hand, why is this massive military needed? Do you share a border with a hostile and powerful nation?

1) If those two combined nations are both yours, that's known as puppetwanking, and is a deplorable practice that's serverely frowned upon and worthy of an I.G.N.O.R.E. by most respected nations. It's just such a pathetically cheap method of trying to boost one's military.

2) There is some error in the initial response, due primarily to poor estimation. If it had been done properly, he'd have noted 20 million. An honest mistake, but one that should be avoided. Now, I would put the maximum active force indeed at about 1%. You're a big nation, and your economy isn't that good, so you have concerns elsewhere, especially with 100% taxation.

3) Now, while the numbers were in error, the basic gist is not. Unless those divisions are all garrison units with no ability to deploy much beyond a set district, they will need higher support. For a modern military, there should be 1-2 personnel outside of the division for each one inside, or you have no ability to sustain operations. That puts 9-13.5 million personnel per army. Which is quite high, about limit of what you should be fielding.
But wait! You should also have an air force and a navy. Do you have any personnel left available for those? I certainly don't see much extra space for such things.

4) As said, you need an excuse for a large army. You must provide an IC reason for extreme militarization, and don't just say the government. Even a militaristic government will not have a very large army without good reason.

5) I'm curious about these PAK 41 Heavy Infantry Guns listed. The designation gives me the impression of an antitank or artillery piece. If this is the case, your own divisions are sorely understaffed. Even if these are just 105mm guns, you'll need around 20,000-30,000 personnel just to man and support 900 of them (!). In fact, even if these are just light mortars, that's probably too much. If they're machine guns that would be okay (well, unless they're 12.7mm ones or bigger), but you just don't have the men for that many artillery pieces.

[QUOTE=Clan Smoke Jaguar]1) If those two combined nations are both yours, that's known as puppetwanking, and is a deplorable practice that's serverely frowned upon and worthy of an I.G.N.O.R.E. by most respected nations. It's just such a pathetically cheap method of trying to boost one's military.

2) There is some error in the initial response, due primarily to poor estimation. If it had been done properly, he'd have noted 20 million. An honest mistake, but one that should be avoided. Now, I would put the maximum active force indeed at about 1%. You're a big nation, and your economy isn't that good, so you have concerns elsewhere, especially with 100% taxation.

3) Now, while the numbers were in error, the basic gist is not. Unless those divisions are all garrison units with no ability to deploy much beyond a set district, they will need higher support. For a modern military, there should be 1-2 personnel outside of the division for each one inside, or you have no ability to sustain operations. That puts 9-13.5 million personnel per army. Which is quite high, about limit of what you should be fielding.
But wait! You should also have an air force and a navy. Do you have any personnel left available for those? I certainly don't see much extra space for such things.

4) As said, you need an excuse for a large army. You must provide an IC reason for extreme militarization, and don't just say the government. Even a militaristic government will not have a very large army without good reason.

The nations all belong to different people. However the RP is that we have joined forces to create one nation. I am governing body of the new nation and Third Jerusalem is the resistance. I have Rped this and I RPed the reason for the forces. In the old forum we had a history of Aliados thread but it is lost and we decided to start Rping the return of Aliados. Nellisland is also involved because they are our neighbor. I plan on making a navy and an airforce. The numbers up there are not including the support crews because that I was told to do when making this. I do not think that nine million troops between two "combined" nations would be to much of a problem. So I should not be ignored for that. Thank you.

Following that formula the US military in all branches could not possibly exceed 250,000, which is obviously wrong. On the other hand, why is this massive military needed? Do you share a border with a hostile and powerful nation?

Agreed, but in NS, our pop goes up 5 million every day, as is not the case in RL USA. The pop of the United States does not go up 35 million people a week, as it does here, therefore our pop-to-military ratio is greater. I'm just trying to say here that if there were a standard percentage of military personnel to general population ratio, then we'd all be on the same page, and we'd all know our (and each other's) abilities and limitations. It should be as realistic as possible. I personally don't have any problems with puppets, because that's a more reasonable way to grow your empire. I do have a problem with a nation whose pop is 300 million having a military with 10 million, or even 5 million, people in it.

bump...comments?

It's not 9 million troops combined. If you read carefully, I said 9-13.5 million per army. That means that many for each nation. And again, that's putting things minimally (I actually have only about 1/4 of my army in direct combat formations), and without any navy or air force listed. Still, that's not that bad.


However, unless you have no infantry or are using Soviet style organization, I don't think the numbers quite add up. Those divisions are a bit small for all the equipment, and I'm still not sure what you're referring to with the PAK 41 weapons, unless you're referring to the German WWII era 75mm antitank gun. If that's the case, you need to add at least a good 15,000 personnel to each division in the necessary crew and support for each weapon, effectively doubling your total force requirements to 18-27 million per nation. And now we're getting well beyond what you should be having.

Well... it isn't completely unreasonable. It does depend on the training levels, levels of support offered, and how much time the soldiers of these armies spend on active duty normally. Tops... you don't want more than 1% of your population in military roles ordinarily in peacetime, and that's for a fairly militarized nation.

North Korea has about 5%, which is one of the reasons North Korea fails to prosper. (Another significant reason - and not unrelated - is their poor relationship with their neighbors). You should include support personnel in your TO&E, even if just as a footnote; whoever told you that you shouldn't was encouraging sloppy work.

At worst... it's a reasonably sized wartime army for a large nation, and one that you could staff (including support staff, although not that you'd necessarily want to operate constantly) with a couple years' mandatory service.

And it could well be a very "Soviet-style" army. That would fit with older tanks... and possibly the "infantry guns," although CSJ's question about what exactly these "infantry guns" are is quite justified. I could see them fitting very nicely as something along the lines of the Carl Gustav 84mm recoilless rifle... but listing them in with the tanks and trucks does suggest mortars, light artillery, or possibly towed guns of some other stripe, such as heavier recoilless rifles.
