A Brief Look Into the Omzian Domestic Security Forces
Total Personnel: ~6 million (DY 101 Figure)
Introduction: Like many other nations, the Omzian Democratic Republic finds a domestic security force just as important as a powerful military arm to ensure that not only the sovereignty of one's nation can be kept, but also that the said nation could be kept in a state of peace and prosperity as well. Thus, it is only natural for the Omzian Democratic Republic to possess a large arm of security forces, responsible for the safety of Omzian citizen domestically and abroad, the safeguard of Omzian land against enemy and terrorist intrusion, and to shield off the crucial elements of the Omzian government from unwanted elements. No official figures as been released, but the individual branches, units, and arms of the Omzian security forces combined is a mighty and powerful apparatus of well-trained and motivated personnel, willing to risk their lives for the sake of the survival of the Omzian Democratic Republic as a prosperous nation.
People's Armed Police (Daakae Zonkares Longizi): Founded after the Homeland Defence War and the adaptation of the new constitution that limited the powers of the military in the government, government leaders began to look for a suitable replacement for the Omzian military in the roles of domestic security, counter-terrorism, and internal affairs. Thus, the People's Armed Police was born. A paramilitary force that is largely responsible for domestic security tasks, like the Omzian Forces, it is an independent branch and can be used in combat if necessary (for example, occupation duty, peacekeeping, and homeland defence). However, it is also vastly different in the fact that the branch is specifically designed to shield the Omzian people and the Omzian government against internal and domestic threats, in addition to unconventional threats, during peacetime, as opposed to conventional external threats. In recent years, the People's Armed Police has been expanded to accommodate other tasks such as the management of special penitentiary systems, sovereignty enforcement, and other tasks as well.
The People's Armed Police normally responds directly to the Omzian Ministry of National Security during peacetime, but wartime, it can be placed under the direct guidance of the Omzian Forces High Command (Lokarie Dakarie Omzae Gendakonando). It is normally headed by the Chief of the PAP (the highest rank in the PAP) who responds directly to the Ministry and the President, who could be integrated into the Omzian Forces High Command during wartime. The PAP follows a rank system similar to the Omzian Forces with the exception of Warrant Officers; however, entrance into the officer corps is often easier. Personnel are organized into Divisions or Corps depending on their role, each assigned to a Regional Command, which responds to the Headquarters of the Omzian People's Armed Police, and in turn to either the Ministry or the High Command. Omzian People's Armed Police personnel normally dresses in pitch-black uniforms, represented by a symbol consisting of a red star surrounded by bands of the Omzian flag, with a large eagle on top.
The employment of the People's Armed Police is governed by Section XIV of the Omzian Midterm Constitution Act (Dakarie Year 66) and Section XX of the 3rd Revision, Omzian Military Government Act.
Branches of the PAP
Security Forces (Korpez Zonkara): The Security Forces is the largest and most common branch of the People's Armed Police. Consisting of armed security personnel trained to handle domestic security affairs with both lethal and non-lethal force. Designed to replace the National Guard and the Militia in domestic security and law enforcement tasks, the Security Force acts as an assistant for both national-level and regional (provincial) level police personnel, not only ensuring security and efficiency but also establishing a paramilitary presence. In times of natural disasters, it can also function as a disaster relief force, while in other roles it can act as a riot-suppression force, aiding the Rapid Response Forces. In wartime, it can also function as either a peacekeeping force in foreign territories along regular Omzian Forces units, while in homeland defence duty it can function as a light infantry force alongside the People's Militia.
Organization: Organized in 128 Security Corps, falling under ten Regional Commands. Each Corps also has attached elements of various types, including NBC Defence, Counter-Terrorism, Internal Security, Canine, Aviation, Training, Armoured Vehicle, and other special sub-units.
Rapid Response Forces (Dakakorpezie Zonkarez): The Rapid Response Force is the vanguard of the Omzian government in times of crisis and peacetimes as well. Unlike the Security Forces, it is trained and organized to function as an internal security force, with other primary roles including counter-terrorism, VIP protection, and other unspecified Special Operation tasks. It is a 24-hour, all-year rapid response force of highly trained and disciplined professionals. During wartime, it effectively serves as a force countering unconventional enemy threats, while functioning essentially as a bodyguard formation of Omzian governmental leaders. The Rapid Response Forces are the only security formations that patrols around the Osaria Government City 24 hours per day, all-year including holidays. Elsewhere, it can also serve alongside Omzian Special Forces, effectively acting as commandoes.
Organization: Organized into 52 Rapid Combat Brigades, falling under ten Regional Commands and a separate Internal Guard Command.
Penitentiary Guards (Kouppezonkarie Loklongizi): The Penitentiary Guards are responsible for guarding and running special state Penitentiary facilities - or more specifically, labour camps that are a part of the Omzian Reeducation Through Labour program. Functioning as guards that can effectively contain the threats of the most dangerous criminals and most threatening law offenders in the Omzian nation, they ruthlessly enforce order and progress in these facilities, while ensuring steady progress and production through hard labour, with brutal efficiency. They are specially selected personnel from the Security Forces, and are mentally motivated and disciplined to carry out their tasks in the preservation of the Omzian homeland from criminals, traitors, and other dangerous offenders, while ensuring that they can contribute to the Omzian government and economy via forced hard labour.
Organization: Organized into 59 Penitentiary Guard Brigades, each guarding one Reeducation Through Labour facility.
Emergency and Air Raid Relief Forces (Korpukaez dan Aeroinstazebonkare Korpzonkara): The Emergency and Air Raid Relief Forces are special, non-combat formations designed to aid the Security Force and external components of the National Security Ministry in disaster relief and fire fighting, and the protection of the civilian population against the effects caused by both conventional and unconventional attacks against Omzian population centers. Thus, they must be skillful in handling a variety of tasks and engineering problems, while possessing considerable knowledge about the threats and their effects that they must handle. Even though they will probably never get their hands onto a weapon unless in emergency circumstances, they are skillful engineers with a professional grasp of different knowledge.
Organization: Organized into 68 Emergency Relief Brigades, falling under ten Regional Commands.
Forestry and Sovereignty Enforcement Forces (Longstazekoe dan Dakarieyakazie Korpzonkara): The Forestry and Sovereignty Enforcement Forces are special formations responsible for security in the remote regions of Omz, specifically the northeastern mountains, and remote forested areas and national parks within the Omzian nation. They are a so-called 'semi-combat' force, meaning that their skill base, roles, and special tactics tends to fall between those of the Security Forces and the Emergency and Air Raid Relief Forces. They are stationed in remote and/or natural areas of the Omzian wilderness, preventing illegal activities, promoting regional growth and tourism, while establishing a semi-military presence to discourage external threats.
Organization: Organized into 21 Forestry Guard Brigades, falling under five Special Regional Commands.
