Concerning: Formation of International Defesne Legion

Bedouin Raiders is forming the International Defense Legion. The purpose of the Legion will be to go to the defense of participating nations. To join the Legion it is required that a nation provide a minimum of four battalions of at least 1000 men each. Upon arriving at the Legion's headquarters the battalions will be mixed so that battalions from different nations work together and thus build up untiy in the Legion. Each person will be in charge of one Brigade(4 battalions from different nations). The reserves will be divided equally after that. The Legion will help train member forces in wargames. The following types of battalions will be accepted without question:
Light Infantry Battalions
Mechanized Infantry Battalions
Paratrooper Battalions
Mountain Warfare Battalions
Combat Aviation Battalions
Transport Aviation Battalions
Light Armor Battalions
Special Forces Detachments(please specify branch of service and specialties)


Any other types will be inquired about before being accepted.

Nobody wants to be part of an international military force for mutual protection upon request?
If nobody or only 1 or 2 people join I would become a mercenary to carry out assasinations and the like with my spec ops and fight in wars for people.

OOC: As someone who's been around awhile (this is my puppet account, my master is a June 07) the problem isn't your alliance but your size. Most people won't join an alliance headed by anyone under 2 billion.

OCC: that kinda sucks. I am just proposing a military coalition of forces idnependent from a single military to be used by everyone. Not looking for an allaince. Just a force to help support friends I happen to make.

OOC: 2 billion really isnt that big.
Most respectable RPers could care less about your pop and more about your skill. You are an unproven roleplayer anyone worth their salt isnt going to risk their reputation by getting behind your banner. Its nothing personal.

Give it some time--it will all come together.

OOC:
An issue might well be your definition of a battalion and how one is made up. To be honest though, outside of the true mil wanker circles, that likely doesn't matter so consider this a freindly bump
