=====================

In the Alfegos army, each recruit goes through a 4 week training course before being allowed to fight. During this process, a recruit is referred to as a "Whiteshield". This is similar to the name given to Cadets.

Each soldier is armed with an AF-07 assault rifle, and KSB - AP1 pistol.
This combination varies amongst sections:
Paratroopers - AF-07P
Armour - AF-07S

Each soldier is expected to be able to survive in most climates, but are trained specially for jungle and mountain combat.

=======================

The million people who work in the "Support" section have varying roles. Mostly, they are involved in supplys, translation and burocracy.

However, there also a 50 000 - strong medical section, who do not count as militray units unless the DEFCON reaches 1. These are usually reserved for non-frontline operations, as squad memebers can train as medics.
