This is the order of battle of the Bonstocknian Armed Forces Joint Strategic Command. Its mission is to provide an overwhelming nuclear detterance to the use of weapons of mass destruction against the Federal Republic, and to provide a viable first-strike option should the need be found necessary to do so. Its contents are here provided as a refrence, so no nations will ever feel the need to use WMD against Bonstock. The redone ORBAT for the rest of the Bonstocknian Armed Forces is coming soon.

The FRB Strategic Command follows the same Chain of Command as normal units in the Armed Forces. The President, Harald Gustavsson, is at the top. Only he has the power to order a nuclear strike, in this case. Directly below him is the Bonstocknian Armed Forces High Command, the joint command that controls the entire Bonstocknian Army, Navy, and Air Force. Next in the chain is the headquarters of the Strategic Command, located at Kent Garden Air Force Base in central Bonstock. Below that are the various Air Force and Navy units capable of delivering nuclear ordinance.

However, Strategic Command does not actually own any of the units it needs, save for its headquarters and all Intercontinental Ballistic Missile units. All long range bombers and ballistic missile submarines are assigned to various Air Force and Navy combat commands; only in the event of a nuclear contingency would they actually be assigned to Bonstocknian Strategic Command.

The list of units goes as follows. All units are noted with their main equipment:

The units are organized as follows:

Missile Wing:
4 Missile Squadrons with 50 missiles each, a total of 200 missiles

Submarine Group:
24 Submarines in four Squadrons, with a Sub Tender complement and shore support

Bombardment Wing
72 bombers in four Squadrons with associated support

In total, Bonstock has the following forces for our nuclear detterance:

2000 Peacekeeper Missiles
96 Ohio-class Ballistic missile subs (each with 24 Trident II missiles)
360 B-2
720 B-1B
720 B-52H

The bombers can carry a variaty of nuclear weapons, from B-61 Gravity bombs to AGM-86 cruise missiles for a nuclear role. Usually, however, they carry conventional loads.

All told, the Bonstocknian nuclear arsenal contains more than 50,000 warheads, plenty for a nation with 4.5 billion inhabitants and counting.

ooc: am I godmodding, or is this an OK nuclear arsenal for my nation (population 4.5 billion, w/frightening economy)?

The US has something on the order of 6,000 nuclear weapons according to the FAS. That is a country of 300 million with a frightening economy, if you use thirdgeek. You are 15 times bigger, if you have the same degree of Frightening as the US, i.e. 35,000 GDP per capita, then you could realistically have 90,000 nukes. Thirdgeek is slow right now so I'll edit later if you have the same level of Frightening as the US.

EDIT: You only have 30000 GDP per capita, so 50K nukes are about right.

Bonstock, please check your TG's.

ooc: Got it.

OCC: Very good, That very complicated. I couldn't even figure out how you organized your forces very accurately. Good job anyway!! :)

It's just a taste of what's to come... im redoing the rest of my military soon. I figured I'd scare a few people with my uber nuclear arsenal first, though.

Well I hope you do. You just scared me!!
