OOC: Bump for comments

OOC: Some comments:

1. Concentrated all your airlift in your reserves isn't too wise. I'd keep at least a few squadrons of transports and tankers on active duty or least at on increased readiness rotation at all times.

2. Same as above for your Navy.

3. Most modern armies intergrate support troops into their combat forces at least at the division level, some do it at the brigade or even batalion level. A Tolvanic Army brigade would field 3 line batalions, a battalion each of engineers, artillery, air defense, and a support battalion, plus a recon troop, CBRN company, MP company, signals company, and a Military intelligence company.

4. I'd recommend fielding some paratroopers or air assault forces as well.

5. Finally, I assume you have some kind of special operations forces? Their a great benefir in modern warfare.

Thankyou for the comments, I appreciate your assistance. :)

You may be correct about my airlift and my naval reserves, but due to the small nature of my country and therefore budget restraints, it made sense to me to keep the majority of equipment that could be used in offensive operations in reserve, so that normally the Guard would perform defensive actions and short-term military operations until these forces were activated. However, I will give that some thought.

As for support troops, I quite honestly didn't want to spend that much time being that precise when it came to my Order of Battle (as this took long enough as it is) so in terms of support troops I just kinda assume that one batallion within each division would be given over to signals, engineers etc and that I can use them in RPs where deemed neccesary. However, as I hone my OrBat later and be more specific regarding batallions, I will consider taking this into account.

At the moment, I don't have an SpecOps or Air Assault forces, but they're definately gonna be next on the list - been watching Apocalypse Now a lot recently. :)

Thankyou.

Update: Added more to Infantry sections of the OrBat to take greater account of Tolvan's suggestion for greater implementation of support troops into the combat organisation of troops. Further plans to do this with Armour, Artillery and Anti-Aircraft Divisions by adding re-arming vehicles to each Division as dedicated units.
