This isnt official but i was thinking about making like a group of specially trained soldiers that come from the nations involved and are open to the use of all member nations for whatever cause if approved by the rest of the nations. This way we can buy more things with our combined finances and have better technology than everyone else. It would be like the UN except for military use and after a while we could expand. anyone interested.

i have been attempting idea like this and i would be interested as well
Ursava

I'd be interested but what would we call it?
The Aaronian Empire
08-11-2008, 23:25
how about SPECTOR. Special Permanent Enforcement Collectively Toward Operational Resources

or
UNDEAD
Unified Nations Defensive and Enforcement Agency of Destruction (Defense, death, etc
Leskov
08-11-2008, 23:29
I'd be interested, but isn't this just a Military Alliance?
Ursava
08-11-2008, 23:40
That's what he's trying to say with the "like UN" bit Leskov.


We could call it one of these:

N.A.T.T = National Anti-Terror Team.
G.M.S.T = Global Military Strike Team.
U.M.S.T = United Military Strike Team.
A.T.D.U = Anti-Terror Defence Unit.

Those are just a few that I thought of.
Henrland
09-11-2008, 00:10
I'd be interested.

W.C.T.O = World Counter Terror Operation.
I.O.A.T = International Operation Anti-Terror.
D.R.O = Defence Recon Operations.

yea its pretty much a military alliance and maybe political, like i said with the UN and maybe eventually we could expand later. I was thinking we could run campaigns for different spots in office in this organization too. We would all have to work together on this though cuz i dont want to be the only organizing things so i would appreciate it if you guys would help. None of you guys are communist or socialist or a dictatorship either, right?
Festejar
09-11-2008, 00:33
I as thinking calling it I.S.F for International Spaecial Forces but we should vote on a name. Everyone who has posted is a member right now(if they want to) and we can make decisions on who to let in as they come.
Henrland
09-11-2008, 00:36
I'm a 100% stable democracy, mate.

Anyway, I believe that we should create, if popularity surges, an offsite forum (which I will set up). There, infomation and meetings are stored, along with archives of operations. Ofcourse, all our ops are posted on II.
Ursava
09-11-2008, 00:36
I vote for D.R.O. Also, I'm a democratic society.
Festejar
09-11-2008, 00:37
We should vote on a name. And i was thinking that we could run campaigns for different spots in office. We are gonna have to make requirments for membership spots that we all agree on. And I dont want to be the only one organizing things so you guys are free to make suggestions and do things, but any big decisions we all need to vote on.

I kinda like U.S.M.T but we will all take a vote eventually. Lets get some more things set up first. I saw that Leskov is a corrupt dictatorship. Do you think we should allow him.

haha...I dunno if you have a link up yet somewhere, but if you do I definately didn't see it. But yeah, cool idea. I think it was tried before. If you all want I'll have a buddy of mine who uses a nation which directly sponsors international Islamic Fundamentalist terrorism RP with ya. Give you all some operations to conduct.

But for a name, I'd say International Joint Strike Force (IJSF) or International Clandestine Services Unit (ICSU). And perhaps I'll contribute to it. Many say that the Wanderjarian Special Air Service (previously referred to as Grenzschutzgruppe Nine/GSG-9) is the finest special operations unit in II. At any rate, I'll gladly help y'all out.

I do like the IJSF and those operations sound fun. But we need some rules. A constitution if you will.

We'll do that soon, mate. I'll create a board for conferences and that. How about a yearly conference?

If not monthly and whenever a crisis happens. We'll need a conference soon to decide policy and stuff so we know when to intervene

Falkasia

Yea, and thanks for fixing it.

On a side note, I'd suggest creating a subforum for each nation's Special Forces, but that might take up too much space.

i also think that having a conference sooon is a good idea to set up ideas and other things. I think during the conference we should be thorough on many aspects of this alliance. Can we have it in two weeks though. This week is going to be busy for me with WKCE testing for school and my grandpa died so can we set it for like 2-3 weeks

Being extremely well versed on special operations training I'd say your best bet would be to copy BUDS (Basic Underwater Demolition School) and then "The Finishing School" (Eighteen Months of intensive training in Advanced Driving, Diving, Advanced Diving, Airborne, Advanced Airborne, Political Warfare School, Jungle Warfare, Mountain Warfare, Arctic Warfare, Desert Warfare, and Urban Warfare, as well as small unit tactics..all in all two and a half years before earning the "Budweiser Trident"). This is the training of the United States Navy Sea Air and Land (SEAL) Teams, Special Development Teams, and Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewmen. You'll get a small, highly trained, diversely specified, and elite set of special operations forces.

Oh and "Ghost Recon's" training is Army Special Forces "Selection". Really nothing different. Not to say that its easy by any stretch, but completely and totally different from BUDS, and frankly not as difficult on the individual's mind or body.

If still looking for a name, some in which Wandejar inspired an alliance to think of (http://z9.invisionfree.com/GASN/index.php?showtopic=488), but was never really acted upon.
Fremen? First Response Elite Missions in Enemy Nations
Spectre-6? Special Counter Terrorist Recon Division Six

The big-kill to the project was that we knew we wanted indistinct weapons that were hard to trace, but couldn't agree on any standards.
Leskov
09-11-2008, 11:12
Leskov's UN Category is 'Corrupt Dictatorship', but that's just because we are recovering from a Civil War. We have enough Military Support and an Honest Government but it could take a little while until our Civil Rights and Political Freedoms to improve. If ever my nation plunges into self-destruct mode again i would not expect the members of this organisation to interfere if they didn't want to.

You both will have to fill out an application form if you would like to be part of this ORG . AND PLEASE DONT JUST JOIN AND FORGET ABOUT IT. YOU HAVE TOP CONTRIBUTE. for the app form just make a list of things about your country(true) and just tell us the usual mandatory stuff.

And what usual mandatory stuff?

Also, just because I have a 892,800 kilogram special forces army doesn't mean that they're not awesome and highly trained.

If I wasn't short on sleep, I'd chuckle at your factbook.
Nostalgia does that sort of thing.

To get 5% militarization, most places would resort to military-run police states with short life expectancies past retirement*. To gauarntee any recognition of quality in your troops, cut it in half, then send half of that into the air-force/navy, and the rest into a militia someplace save for some badassed Marine drill sgts.

FWIW, I could steamroll your nation (in current military statblock) in spite of capping my stats in '07**.

*It generally not a good idea to use frontline combat-troops over 60 years old, or under the age of 6 for that matter. And those not in the military would have to be breeders to make sure there's always X amount of boys and girls fit for service. (All issues if you're going to bring up South-Korea's percentage of men-at-arms and per-capita spending)

**4.2 million in active and resserve, population of... ~4 billion...
-30 million employed in civillian defensive contracts (building+maintaining weapons, barracks, ships, and surplus weapons)
-22 million Para-military police officers
=That's about 1.5% of my countrymen-at-arms, but only 0.105% will even have a remote chance of seeing combat overseas.

==================
So, um, if I were to join, how much 'o my forces would have to show up to the meetings?
Cause if you guess want more than a rifle-company plus artillery support...
Look elsewhere.
Festejar
13-11-2008, 23:40
Ok niramaya just dont even think about it. Hurtful thoughts in the other hand, you are more than welcome to join. you seem very intelligent and qualified. All we ask is you show up at conferences and contribute to discussions. you would just need to supply a few specially trained units(around 250-1000) or more if you would like. So if your still interested welcome to the crew.
Hurtful Thoughts
14-11-2008, 03:54
...

I may have to create a whole new security clearance catagory* for that "battalion"... ~800 people spread amongst many units. (5 companies from 5 divisions)

I'll pull these troops from Hurtian Marine Raider divisions (I already have 3 grades of "elite", this new security clearance would place that unit on a whole different level).

This clearance is due to certain unsavory aspects of my nation that may need cooperation in order to most efficiently achieve their stated goals (AKA "I has spies and double-agents, and known double agents working against me").

Sorry things didn't work out too well upon application.

I'll consider it that the background check rejected me from entry.

Maybe some other time when either your alliance becomes disillusioned or when I'm finally done doing what I do, then we can have more friendly relations.

But currently, we are idealogically opposed.

Kinda ironic, Wanderjar provided the (tactical) nukes for that precise purpose... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aF79U0B_ze0)
438 days ago.
All OOC/hypothetical IC of course.

I know lots, far too much to consider myself "clean".

Edit:
*And no, I won't go Jihad on your alliance, you're for a good cause and all that, although I think you're a bit misguided regarding how to confront the risk of a nuclear exchange.

A lot of the 'rogue' nations will be quite large and independent, with no regard to anything resembling the Geneva conventions. So in any nuclear conflict, you'd be almost garanteed to be on the short-end of the stick. Especially if they ever decided to band together (http://z9.invisionfree.com/GASN/index.php?showtopic=134&st=15).
