Preamble
The ROFL is hereby formed in an effort to ensure the protection of Orbath, its colonies and its interests abroad, to allow for force projection, especially during efforts to aid civilians in instances such as natural disaster or rebellion and to provide advanced training to soldiers from nations around the globe.

The ROFL is also looking for foreign bases both for training and for permanent stationing. The ROLF is also looking for high ranking officers to become involved in the further growth of the training program and also for donations.

Training Programs

Basic Legionnaire Training - 2 Weeks
Although many Legionnaires are former soldiers, this training program is designed to integrate both civilians and former soldiers into the Legionnaire way. This includes learning basic English, Legionnaire drill and other small things that are often forgotten when trying to integrate forces from many different nations. It also begins to build on physical fitness, and important aspect of the Legionnaires. All those applying to join the Legionnaires must undertake this course.

Secondary Legionnaire Training 3 Weeks
Secondary Legionnaire Training is designed to introduce recruits to living, thinking and acting in a military lifestyle. It also builds on previous teachings, such as English and physical fitness.
Examples of things taught are,

Familiarization and Care of Fireteam Weapons
Field Navigation
Basic Field Survival
Basic First Aid


Advanced Legionnaire Training - 6 Weeks
This course teaches Legionnaires advanced war fighting techniques such as,

Conducting, Section, Platoon and Company Level Attacks
Selecting and Construction of Fighting Positions
Marksmanship with Fireteam and Crew Served Weapons
Unarmed Combat
Patrolling


It will also build on previous training.

Unit Training
This type of training can be conducted anytime, anyplace, year round. Often this means deploying to a foreign location for specialized training. It also consists of advanced english and other languages classes with the aim to have each Legionnaire speak in basic forms of many languages.

Officer Training
After undergoing the training above, officers receive specialized education to give them the capability to either train future Legionnaires or lead them into battle.

*Due to the costs involved with training and equipping 300,000 soldiers, signees of the Stoklomolvi contract will receive shortened training and will be issued surplus equipment.

''It is good to see such a fine group of willing young men, reminds me of myself at such a young age.'' - General Right on the arrival of the new recruits.

Message From ROFL
I have personally welcomed the new recruits and I am glad to hear someone is taking advantage of the return training program offered. I can promise these men will return able to perform feats they never thought possible, strengthened in mind, body and spirit.

We are pleased to hear of their acceptance and hopefully we shall gain from what the ROFL has to offer. Perhaps this may be a stepping stone to further diplomatic relations between our two countries.

Our Humblest Greetings,

Sadly, the Zinarian defense budget is non-existent and we are unable to provide any troops for the legion. However, we are willing to enter talks to allow Zinaire to act as a training ground. The island could provide valuable lessons in combat along rock and sand beaches, cliffs and in the jungle.

Official Government Message
We are pleased to announce the acceptance of all those who have submitted. Our military and financial analysts will be reviewing the information provided in an effort to fine tune both the training and pay.

Furthermore, Zinarian, seeing you have a non existent defense doesn't really matter. There is no cost to send soldiers, in fact, if transportation is an issue, we would be willing to pick up your soldiers. Although it means they must stay in service with the ROFL for a set number of years, they will returned well trained, with the capability to even train future soldiers back home. If you provide us with the opportunity to establish a base within your nation, we will not only return your soldiers with training, but also with equipment, free of charge, providing you send no more than 15,000 soldiers.

OOC: You, my friend, are to benefit from a protracted period of relative peace for the Empire; though that may seem to be a very pleasant thing for the population, it ultimately has caused notable unrest, particularly amongst the young men (who form a disproportionately large portion of the population), as the Errikans are inherently culturally a soldierly people. So all friendly foreign legions now benefit.

To - Zinarian Military Authority
We are most pleased to hear that you have chosen to take us up on our offer. Transportation will be arranged in the form of several C-5 Galaxies which will begin picking up and transporting soldiers from an airfield of your choosing. As for the base, we are not picky. It would be best if it had the capability to hold up to 25,000 soldiers, have an airfield, hangers and a small port. Anything other than that, such as construction of firing ranges and other training sites can be constructed by our own military engineers.

You may pick the soldiers up from the Zinarian Central Airfield which is 80km East of Zinaire City. It will take us one week to gather the troops at that location and any time afterwords you may pick them up. Please give as much notice as possible so we may clear the runways.

We will be converting a little-uses airfield on the South side of the island into the base. Within six months, the conversion should be complete. If you have any further specifications, please tell me.

The URPY would like to exchange foreign legion bases with Orbath.

The Yanitarian Foreign Legion would also like to work with Orbath in joint training missions, perhaps collaborating on an intensive training curriculum. A base in Orbath would allow training in colder winter climates, as well as open terrain, islands, and dense forests in mountainous terrain.

We would like to request small airbase with a small harbour in Throppe, to aide in supplying our legions in Wittenshcau and Liech, and a small base for advanced training in Orbath. In return we would be willing to accommodate military bases in Yanitaria, Wittenshcau, Liech, and Okhotsk.

We would be glad to allow you the use of not only ROFL bases but also Orbathian and Throp military bases. The prospect of working together to form an intensive curriculum also interests us, as does the prospect of our forces training together. We will certainly be able to provide a base in Orbath, and, provided the harbor is small, one in Throppe. In order to decided where we should establish our bases, we would need for you to provide details regarding climate and terrain.

OOC: This curriculum, is this just going to be assumed or are we going to discus a training program. Also, perhaps we could have a Foreign Legion war game in the future.
