Ooc: I’ll do the number crunching later… total strength should be about 6 million frontline troops, so the numbers I have given are likely to change at some point. Corrections to any (likely) blatent mistakes and feedback of any for is welcome.

It’s probably obvious, but some parts have yet to be added…

Neuvo Rican Armed Forces

Neuvo Rican Armed Forces Sections

The Royal Neuvo Rican Army (NRA)
The Royal Neuvo Rican Navy (NRN)
The Royal Neuvo Rican Airforce (NRAF)
The Royal Neuvo Rican Marine Corps (NRMC)
The Royal Neuvo Rican Coastguard (NRCG)
The Royal Neuvo Rican Reserve Corps (NRRC)
The Royal Neuvo Rican Police (NRP)
The Royal Neuvo Rican National Guard (NRNG)
Neuvo Rican Aerospace Command (NRASC)


The Neuvo Rican Army

The Neuvo Rican army uses motorized infantry and tanks to great advantage. When attacking, blitzkrieg styled assaults are favored, whilst heavy infantry and additional armour are used to secure ground gained. Unlike many other armed forces, Neuvo Rica has a very powerful army air wing, which uses fighter jets and bombers to achieve objectives different from that of the air force. Whilst this may create some undesired competition between the army and air force, it means that Neuvo Rica has almost unrivalled air power.

NOTE: Logistical Support levels at about two personnel for every front line troop. An excellent logistics corps is maintained, with a heavy focus on this ever since shortcomings related to lack of infrastructure in the past.

Structure:

-8 Army Fronts
-3 Rapid Reaction Fronts
-2 Airborne Attack Legions
-5 Ghurka Commando Divisions

An army front comprises of:

-12 Motorised Infantry Divisions
-6 Motor Rifle (Mechanized infantry) Divisions.
-4 Heavy Infantry Divisions
-3 Ghurka Light Infantry Divisions
-6 Artillery Divisions
-2 Super Heavy/Coastal Artillery Regiments
-6 Armoured Divisions
-3 Aviation Wings
-4 Engineer Battalions
-7 Air Defense Brigades



A rapid reaction front consists of:
-7 Motor Rifle Divisions
-5 Heavy Infantry Divisions
-2 Armoured Divisions
-2 Army Aviation Wings
-1 Engineer Brigace


An Airborne Attack Legion Comprises of:

-3 Paratrooper Divisions
-2 Artillery Brigades
-4 Army Aviation Wings
-(Airforce Support Attached as necessary)
-6 Engineer Regiments
-5 Air Defense Battallions

A Ghurka Commando Division Consists of: *
-6 Mountain Battalions**
-4 Desert Battalions**
-5 Urban warfare Battalions
-7 Counter terrorist Wings***
-40 Hit Squads (Khamseen)****



*Armour and air support are attached as necessary, either from the army or Marine Corps.

**Neuvo Rican troops are trained in Tibet. This means that in terms of climate, Nuevo Rican troops excel when fighting in mountainous terrain. Recent massive training operations in the Karakumy desert in Turkmenistan also make desert warfare a speciality of the Nuevo Rican special forces.

***These units receive similar training to that of the British SAS.

****Almost identical in role and training to the Israeli Caesarea special forces wing. These units also take out foreign leaders in covert operations too.

Army Fronts:
* 1st Kazakh (Astana)
* 2nd Kazakh (Aktau)
* 1st Iranian (Tehran)
* 1st Tibetan (Lhasa)
* 2nd Tibetan (Nyima)
* 3rd Tibetan (Rutog)
* 1st Uzbek (Tashkent)
*1st Chechen (Grozny)

Some Nuevo Rican territories lack army fronts. Some fronts are also responsible for neighbouring territories. The Uzbek front operates in Afghanistan and Turkmenistan, and the Kazakh fronts are responsible for defending Kyrgyzstan.

Rapid Reaction Fronts
* 1st Uzbek (Samarqand)
* 1st Tibetan (Nyima)
* 1st Iranian (Tehran)

Same Applies, as with army fronts.

Air Attack Legions
* 1st Kazakh (Baykonyr)
* 1st Tibetan (Damxung)

Ghurka Commando Divisions
*1st Tibetan (Lhaze)
*2nd Tibetan (Lhasa)
*1st Nepalese (Kathmandu)
*1st Central Asian (Herat)
*1st Afghan (Kandahar)

Yup, these too.

Neuvo Rican Aerospace Command

The Neuvo Rican space program, run by the military with massive funding. The NRASC runs several projects, including the following.

- A man on mars:

A ship is under development; capable of using sped up Ion blaster technology to travel to the red planet. Tests so far have proved promising, and a quest is now underway to make a landing module.


-Controlled rocket use for terrestrial travel

Using specialized heat absorbent runways and a lot of fuel, this project could carry large numbers of people from Tehran to Astana in just over a minute. Still in the development stage – and very dangerous.


-Space Launched missile defence

Under Operation Uranus, Neuvo Rica has placed thirty heavy neutron warheads in space. With this system in place, anywhere on earth can be destroyed within seconds. Very complex security measures are in place, and the network is immune to ECM strikes. Rather than a missile arrangement, the warheads are carried in drop ships which power downwards, causing them to move at speeds bordering on the hypersonic.
