Total
Active Military Units- 7,355
Active Reserves- 3,932,000
Inactive Reserves- 1,550

Active Military Units are the standing army of Niraamaya.

Active Reservists are soldiers who have already been assigned a place in the military and are not doing active duty, but have to immediately mobilize during a war. They are given 2 days to mobilize.

Inactive Reservists are those who have no assigned branch in the military, but have to join it during a war. They are given up to 3 months to mobilize.

Military service and reservist status is completely voluntary, excluding people who are sent for punishment, such as teenage mothers/fathers, (If neither party wishes to take custody of the child or if the child is abused in custody) child abusers and rapists. They have reduced rights in the military as opposed to normal soldiers.

Calling people cannon fodder may not be the best for morale. It's even worse for construction people, who know that they are less than cannon fodder.

Only people who commit serious crimes (Rape, etc) are used as cannon fodder and constructionmen. Normal Privates also work as constructionmen, but the difference being they have better working conditions.

And respect, and easier work, and...

Equipment added.

Be consistent in your numbering. 0.9 million and 0.1 million could be easily written as 900,000,000 and 100,000,000. By the way, your logistics figures are far too low. 8,000 officers in your entire army? So, 112,500 men for one officer to handle? My lord, that's sooooome management. Also, define your officers; what are NCOs? COs? 9 infantrymen to 1 supply man? You expect him to cart around supplies for 9 people when they're constantly moving? It would be terrible. And the fact that he doesn't have unlimited supplies on hand; he'll have to go all the way home for supplies.

It's a start, but there's much room for improvement.

Might I suggest changing Cell Phone, to Satellite phone, because on the battle field, chances are good that either, cell towers will have been knocked out during the battle, it's in an area without cell towers, or the cell towers are in the hands of the enemy, and they can intercept cell phone calls. Also, what is a pistol knife? Most likely not a good idea to arm your medics. Walkie Talkies and cell/satellite phones seem a little redundant, especially, when you could probably combine the two things into one unit, less to carry the better. Your equipping every soldier with infrared goggles? It's a little excessive to be part of the standard gear. Again, the issue of carrying less, is better, and the basic cost of equipping them, and then replacing them in the likely event that they are damaged in combat. Would work better as a mission specific item.

Penal battalions would be the correct term.

ooc all this is useless

Like Stok said, why does military personnel outnumber logistics 9 to 1? My logistics personnel outnumber my combat personnel 3-1 or 2-1 depending on whether its domestic or being deployed overseas.

Suggestions implemented.

Except these three:

Penal battalions would be the correct term.

Would you, as a rape victim, rather hear, "He's going to be sent to a penal battalion", or "He's going to be used as cannon fodder"?

ooc all this is useless

Why? The operative will need to buy stuff.

About the camera, that's optional. Normally this loadout is for spying missions.

Also, what is a pistol knife?

I got it from the World's Most Impractical Weapons Storefront.

It rox your sox.

Penal battalion is more professional. Would you, as a general, rather use the term "penal battalion" or "cannon fodder" during a press conference in reference to penal battalions? And if you're using them as troops, do you think they would rather be referred to as "penal infantry" or "cannon fodder"?

Hmm. Good point. Changing now.

Why? The operative will need to buy stuff.

About the camera, that's optional. Normally this loadout is for spying missions.
as paratroopers are fighting soldiers not spies

If you're a paratrooper, you're going to be carrying a lot of gear. Unless you plan to leave your gear behind and walk into a store with your gear left in some place where it could be discovered, you're not going to be needing money. And if you have no gear, just money, well you're fucked anyway.

*Facepalm*

*Handwaves* The loadouts can be modified.

Actually, nevermind, I'll just rename them as "spy".

ooc you still don't drop spies with all that shit

Actually, I don't see why you would drop spies in at all, I mean, it'll look a little suspicious if this guy just drops out of the sky and starts taking pictures and asking around about the government. It's too risky, that he'll be spotted, and there is the fact of getting the plane over another nation's territory without them knowing, because if they know, then what's the point.

I didn't call them paraspies, did I?

I think an M4 is a little strong for a spy, and a little difficult to get through customs.

300 rounds and an M4 carbine...that's unnoticeable. And a thick wallet of $5000 is going to be very unnoticeable. What nationality are your spies going to pretend to be from?

Foldable M4.

Also, that's what cosmetics are for.

this is a M4 http://www.modelguns.co.uk/images/M4A1a.jpg
dose it look like it can be fold?

Made from scratch to be able to fold. Anything else?

While you're making stuff from scratch, you might as well just go with a folding M2. Or better yet, a folding Abrams.

Made from scratch to be able to fold. Anything else?

It would probably better to invite something like a suitcase gun, or cane gun, where the gun is actually built into something. An umbrella, a crutch, things like that. But it's just a suggestion.

ooc
cane guns ,cane swords and along with suitcase guns are real

The gun is built to resemble a flashlight when folded.

It even lights up.

And how exactly do you propose that that will work? It would be a lot less like a folding deal and a lot more like a complete assembly deal. There's no way you could fold a functioning M4 down to flashlight size.

I don't mean those wussy tiny round ones.

I mean those huge ones with huge batteries and is really heavy.

I don't mean those wussy tiny round ones.

I mean those huge ones with huge batteries and is really heavy.

It would have to be a very large flashlight. The barrel would cause problems too, considering that I think its performance would be severely affected by telescoping/screwing together, whatever. Wouldn't it be easier just to give spies MP7s or something else compact?

I don't mean those wussy tiny round ones.

I mean those huge ones with huge batteries and is really heavy.

:rolleyes: you have no idea about weapons do you ?

Nope. :) Ah well, MP-7s FTW.

Would you, as a rape victim, rather hear, "He's going to be sent to a penal battalion", or "He's going to be used as cannon fodder"?
Neither.
But as CF, that means they WILL treat you as expendable, in a PB, it means they're scraping the barrel.

Actually, I don't see why you would drop spies in at all, I mean, it'll look a little suspicious if this guy just drops out of the sky and starts taking pictures and asking around about the government. It's too risky, that he'll be spotted, and there is the fact of getting the plane over another nation's territory without them knowing, because if they know, then what's the point.
Para-spies don't work, even half-smart RPers will either uncover you or hide the target, perhaps both.
If you plan to do a military-style raid for Military-intell, do a military-style raid with a real fighting unit, not a James Bond style HALO-jump (even in the movie it failed epicly to achieve surprise).

Yeah, I kinda did that type of insertion for RPs, what, five times already?
It only works when the locals know you are coming and are welcoming you as allies, in which case it's cool-factor over efficeincy.

--------
As for a spy-gun, use a friggin APS-Stechnin (http://world.guns.ru/handguns/hg155-e.htm) and pray you won't ever have to use it.
Telescoping tubes do not make good barrels because they must stack inside each other (nest).

A couple of ideas:

Try to put your ranks into ordered lists (the seventh button from the left on the bottom row). Thsi will make everything appear neater.

(*)A member of the military may, at any time, engage in sexual activities with any other member or members unless the aforementioned activities occur during a battle, or if the activities create significant disturbance (10 complaints).

You do realize that this is not leagl in most RL militaries for some very specific reasons.

The manpower of the various branches of the military are as follows-
(Note: Logistics personnel includes, but is not limited to: Medics, Mission Control, janitors and firemen.)

Logistics also includes anyone who carries supplies, ammunition, food, etc. to your combat troops.

Ground Soldiers- 350,000 personnel
Logistics Personnel- 600,000 personnel
S.O.N units- 12,000 personnel
Battalion Officers- 58,000 personnel

Your logistics personnel should number at least 60% of your total manpower.

Airmen- 20,000 personnel
Ship Commanders- 155 personnel
Marines- 700,000 personnel
Seamen- 500,000 personnel
Logistics Personnel- 1,000,000 personnel
S.O.N. units- 6,000 personnel

Ditto.

Air Force

Pilots- 300,000 personnel
Paratroopers- 100,000 personnel
Logistics Personnel- 90,000 personnel
S.O.N units- 2,000 personnel

Logistics should be at least twice you number of pilots and paratroopers combined.

Bodyguards

Operatives- 400 personnel
Logistics Personnel- 50 personnel

Again, your operatives are way too many for the number of people supporting them. Since they are an elite unit, they should have at least three support people for every operative.

1 Credit Card How do you expect your credit cards to work in a foreign country, especially if they don't even use them over there.
But yeah, a card for electronic transfer of funds is going to be considerably more useful than a wad of cash.

Cash seems like an easy way to carry money, but when you figure out ~$50 to fuel-up a sedan, ~$100 for food to last the week, plus anything else you wanted to by (like $20 gizmos), it adds up pretty quick, and cards can be traced a hell of a lot easier than cash if stolen.
