The Republic of Guruda Military Factbook

[Guruda]

This is the Military Factbook for the Republic of Guruda. For now, it simply covers the military. In the future, this may change. As a side note, I try very hard to keep everything possible and not go ridiculously overbudget.

I'm sure anyone breezing through would notice, Guruda's military is heavily western-inspired, mainly from the United States military. Everything from equipment, to general command structure is often somewhat based on the United States Armed Forces. I have made personal edits in different places so it is definitely not a total copy, but overall insipiration would be difficult to take credit for. As such, I feel the factbook would be incomplete without some adknowledgement of sources. (I'm sorry, I'm a history major, not citing things feels dirty)

United States Air Force
United States Navy

The information gathered for different vehicles/equipment is based off of Wikipedia, and all images contain URL's leading towards the source.

Hope the factbook is up to par, and is at least partially enjoyable/informative to read, and most definitely useful.

The Capital City of Fairweather is the center for much of Guruda's government, and is home to many elements of the military as well.

General Summary

As a growing nation of 500 million, the annual military budget is $407,936,206,591.45 (as of June 2011). So the military has had time to grow, but there is still strengthening to be done.

Years ago, Guruda's military service was required for two years. As the population grew, the plan was disbanded due to budget and now service is completely voluntary. There are two branches in Guruda's military, the Army (National Army of Guruda) and the Navy (Guruda Coast Defense), which has done exceptional strengthening over the past several years, and has been better concentrated on in terms of budget. Sevice lengths throughout the military consist of 4 year contracts for male and female citizens between ages of 18-45 (combat arms positions are only open to males). After those four years, they are welcome to re-sign as many times as they would like, pending permission from the military. Much of the new recruits come as regular enlistment into the rank of private (Army)/seaman recruit (Navy). Having a bachelors degree across any college or university in Guruda will make a member a specialist (Army)/seaman (Navy). Many Universities are a part of the Officer Training Program (OTP) which promotes military leadership courses on top of their regular field of study. Before they are accepted, the recruit has to pass the basic training of whatever branch they will serve in. If they pass training and earn their 4 year degree, they will become an officer in either the Army of Navy. Clearly the most prestegious University dealing with the military is the Gurudan Military Academy (GMA) located in the capital. The courses involved can be compared to a normal University in the country, but many courses are related to politics or other world issues. Graduation from the GMA results in the official ranking of 2nd Lieutenant (Army)/Ensign (Navy), and courses are taught by officers as well. Basic Training must be passed before the beginning of classes at the GMA.

Minor Formalities
-In the Gurudan military, the salute is a very important interaction between soldiers. Unfortunately, it seems to be a common conception that the salute is a sign of subservience, from the lower ranking soldier to the higher ranking individual. The reality is the exact opposite, in that both members salute, and is a pure sign of mutual respect. It is customary for the junior rank to salute the senior first, and the salute must be returned promptly and in the same manner.

Major Medals, Ribbons, and Awards
(In order of highest prestege)

Medals (with minor descriptions):

Gurudan Star: Medal in the shape of the star on Guruda's flag, awarded to service members who provide remarkable actions, bravery, and self sacrifice in combat, well beyond their expected duty. Due to the nature of the expectations, it is an award generally recieved posthumously (in this case it is presented to the next of kin). The award is personally given to the recepient by the President of Guruda.

Memorial Cross: Award given to soldiers who have died in combat in service of Guruda.

Self-Sacrifice Star: Awarded for wounds during combat, where the soldier survives.

Heroism Cross: Awarded for remarkable heroism in combat, that does not merit the Gurudan Star.

Distinguished Service Medal: Rewarded for exceptional service towards Guruda in a position of great responsiblity, well exceeding that of the average servicemen.

Blue Star: Medal awarded to soldiers who performed exceptional acts of service facing an opposing force.

Medal of Heroism: Awarded to great actions facing enemy forces.

Commendation Medal: Awarded for distinguishing heroism in combat.

There is a series of awards given to units based on their combat/non-combat operations. Every unit that participates in a theater of operations is awarded a ribbon that is worn on their uniform.

Gurudan National Cemetery

Located in the capital city of Fairweather, the Gurudan National Cemetery is a memorial to pay respects to fallen and deceased members of the Gurudan armed forces. The cemetery is organized by different conflicts, and general sections if the individual did not pass away in combat operations in a foreign country. In the center of the cemetery is an ampitheater used for certain memorials and ceremonies. The entire cemetery is a popular tourist destination, and features its largest crowds and events on Rememberance Day and Armed Forces Day.

There are certain requirements for someone to be buried in the Gurudan National Cemetery. Any soldier who has died while on active duty, any soldier being deployed overseas, retired veterans who have served 8 or more years and recieved honorable discharge, was a reciptient of the Medal of Heroism or higher, was a prisoner of war, or a spouse/child/dependent of a veteran buried in the cemetery may recieve a burial spot.

Memorial Dates

Rememberance Day - May 1st
-Annual celebration to honor the deceased members of Guruda's military who have been killed in action through various conflicts. A large parade is held each year in Fairweather to dedicate the event, and many minor local level parades are held throughout the nation. It is one of the largest events in the nation, and is considered a national holiday. An official moment of silence throughout the country is observed at 1pm.

Armed Forces Day - October 1st
-Annual event to honor all past and present members of Guruda's military. Popular activities include large shows of support to the troops, and minor parades and ceremonies around the nation.

Army Uniforms

Combat:

The standard uniform is referred to as the Standart Issue Combat Uniform, or SICU. The camoflage pattern allows it to be used in a woodland, urban, or desert environment. The SICU features tape for the soldiers name, has a shoulder patch for Guruda's flag, and a spot for their ranking insignia. The flag is placed on both soldiers, and holds an infrared flag for soldier recognition. Unit patches are found on the left shoulder, and combat patches are on the right. Headgear consists of the MICH TC-2000 Combat Helmet, a patrol cap, or boonie hat.

SICU:

Body Armor:
Improved Outer Tactical Vest

"A size Medium IOTV weighs 3.6 pounds less than a Medium OTV vest, while providing more coverage. However, a fully equipped IOTV, complete with all its components (soft armor panel inserts, four ballistic plate inserts (front and back plates and two side plates), collar, and groin protectors) still weighs 30 pounds (13.6 kg), with a Large IOTV weighing about 35 pounds (15.9 kg). The functionality of the enhanced side ballistic inserts, which provide coverage under the arms and down the sides of the torso, is built-in to the IOTV.

The IOTV provides the ability to don the vest in two ways. The first is to simply place the vest over the head and pull down, and the second is to remove fasteners on the wearer's left shoulder, sliding into the vest to the right. To complete the procedure for both methods the wearer then lifts up the front panel of the vest and fastens the waistband, which takes the weight of the vest off the shoulders somewhat, and then fastens the side protection modules.

A key design feature for the IOTV is that the entire armor system is able to be released with the pull of a hidden lanyard. The armor then falls apart into its component pieces, providing a means for escape in case the wearer falls into water or becomes trapped in a hazardous environment. The hidden release lanyard also allows medical personnel easier access to the casualty, which was one concern that was not addressed with the old Interceptor armor.

It also features a grid of PALS webbing on the front, back, and sides for the attachment of modular pouches and accessories.

The IOTV is designed to take the weight of the vest off the shoulders and move it to the lower torso. The vest is also equipped with a mesh inner cover that is designed to improve airflow inside of the armor. There is also a back pad in the lower back area of the vest, which is designed to defeat fragmentation impacts to the lower back/kidney areas. However, the back pad does not provide ballistic protection. The vest can withstand a direct impact from a 7.62 millimeter (both NATO and ex-Soviet types) on the front or rear plates, however, the new E-SAPI plates will increase protection to armor-piercing rounds. The IOTV provides, without the ballistic ceramic plates inserted, protection from small caliber rounds (i.e. 9mm) and fragmentation. The soft kevlar panels have been tested to stop 9 mm 124 grain full metal jacket bullets at 1,400 ft/s (426 m/s) with minimal deformation and has a V-50 of roughly 1,525 ft/s (465 m/s). This means that the bullet has to be traveling faster than 1,525 ft/s for it to have more than a 50% chance of breaking through the soft armor panel."

Helmet:
Modular Integrated Communications Helmet (MICH)

Details:

The MICH ranges in weight from about 3 lbs (1.36 kg) (size medium) to just over 3.6 lb (1.63 kg) (extra large). It uses a new, more advanced type of Kevlar and provides increased protection against handgun rounds.

A pad system and four-point retention system, similar to the cushions and straps found on bicycle helmets, replaces the nylon cord suspension system, sweatband and chinstrap found on the PASGT helmet. The change provides greater impact protection and comfort for the wearer. It can be fitted with a mounting bracket for an AN/PVS-14 monocular night vision device (MNVD) on the front, similar to that on the PASGT helmet, as seen in the above image. It can also be fitted with a pair of straps on the rear to keep protective eyewear in place, as well as cloth helmet covers in varying camouflage patterns.

Service Uniform:

The Service Uniform features a jacket with four buttons. Enlisted soldiers wear insignia denoting their branch of service on their collars.

Proficiency badges, such as the marksman's badge, are worn on the upper left pocket flap. Above this are the ribbons for medals and commendations which have been earned for various actions, duties and training. Above the ribbons are qualification badges, such as the paratrooper badges and Combat Action Badge. A nametag is worn on the upper right pocket flap. Unit awards and foreign awards are worn above the pocket, with a regimental insignia above both. Special duty badges, such as the recruiter's badge, are worn on the upper two pockets of the jacket; the side on which they are worn varies by badge, and is specified by regulation.

On each shoulder of the uniform are unit patches. The left side will have the patch of the current unit the soldier is stationed with. On the right shoulder of the dress uniform the soldier may wear the patch of the unit to which the soldier was assigned while deployed to a combat zone. Tabs indicating Spectre or Special Forces qualification, if applicable, are worn above the unit patch on the left shoulder. A similar "airborne" tab is worn immediately above the unit patch if the command is designated as majority airborne, irrespective of whether the individual soldier is qualified as a paratrooper. As the shoulder sleeve insignia generally indicates merely the general-officer command to which the soldier is assigned, the soldier's immediate battalion or intermediate-level command is indicated by distinctive unit insignia of metal and enamel, on the soldier's epaulets.

Navy Uniforms

Working Uniform:
The Navy Working Uniform (NWU) is outfitted with multiple pockets on the shirt and trousers and uses a multi-color digital print pattern similar to those introduced by the Army. However, the working uniform will also be made in three variants: predominately blue, with some gray, for the majority of sailors and shipboard use in addition to a woodland digital pattern and a desert digital pattern for sailors serving in units requiring those types of uniforms. Woodland and desert variants may be tailored differently than the blue-pattern uniform.

The overall blue color reflects the Navy's heritage and connection to seaborne operations. The pixelated pattern is also used to hide wear and stains. The colors were also chosen to match the most commonly used paint colors aboard ship, extending the lifetime of the uniform on long deployments where uniforms often come into contact with freshly painted surfaces.

Full Dress:
Full Dress uniforms are worn for ceremonies such as changes of command, retirements, commissionings and decommissionings, funerals, weddings, or when otherwise appropriate. Full-size medals are worn above the left breast pocket, with ribbons worn on the opposite side for decorations without corresponding medals. Swords or cutlasses are authorized for wear by officers and Chief Petty Officers, and may be required for Lt. Commander and above.

Service Uniform:
The Service Uniform is a year-round service uniform to withstand day-to-day classroom and office-like environments where the service uniform is typically worn. It consists of a short-sleeve khaki shirt for males and a khaki weskit-style blouse for females, made from a wash and wear 75% polyester, 25% wool blend, with permanent military creases, black trousers for males with beltless slacks for females and optional beltless skirt, and a black unisex garrison cap. Silver anodized-metal rank insignia is worn on shirt/blouse collars and cap. The service uniform also includes a black relaxed-fit Eisenhower-style jacket with a knit stand-up collar and epaulets, on which petty officers wear large, silver anodized-metal rate insignia. Those entitled to wear gold chevrons continue to wear gold chevrons on the large metal rate insignia on the jacket.

Training

Army:

Soldiers entering Guruda's Army go through 10 weeks of Basic Training, divided into three phases, before they are sent off to further training centered on their specific job. In Basic Training, it focuses on the transition to becoming part of the military, leaving their civilian mentality behind, and strengthening both the individual, but heavily reinforcing the team aspect. If a potential trainee refuses to leave the "lonewolf" mindset, they will inevitably fail out of Basic Training.

Phase 1:

Starting off Basic Combat Training, recruits are under "Total Control" where drill sergeants monitor and correct every detail of each individual action. Even the most minor mistakes will be corrected and the entire platoon will be punished even for an individual action, further stressing that each member must act as one and be responsible for their actions. The excessive correction forces recruits to pay serious attention to detail, and develop a sense of greater responsibilty.

Week One of the first phase is where recruits meet the drill sergeants who will be instructing them throughout their Basic Combat Training. Among a variety of other training exercises, week one stresses drill and ceremony training, featuring exercises for marching, standing at attention, and body movements during drills. Army core values are also covered, as well as military law, and day-to-day personal life experienced in the Army among many others, in a classroom environment. Also during the first week, recruits are presented with un-functioning M4A1 rifles, allowing them to familiarize themselves with carrying the weight and balance of the weapon before its actual usage.

Moving to week two, recruits learn unarmed hand-to-hand combat and ground fighting techniques. Map reading, land navagation, and compass use are a large focus during the second week, as well as obstacles and teamwork development courses. First aid training, featuring casualty treatment and evaluation, dressing wounds, tourniquet application, etc are also learned in week 2.

Week three has recruits training in further combatives with pugil sticks, and learning methods for carrying a wounded or unconscious person, as well as physical problem solving such as creating ways to move equipment from one point to another with obstacle obstructions and time limits. Week three is also the week were recruits get their first experience with the tear gas chamber. After previous lessons detailing proper usage of gas masks, recruits are forced to unmask before exiting the chamber fully exposing them to the gas. When unmasked, Drill Sergeants have recruits recite either their name, the Army pledge, personal ID number, or other information forcing the recruit to open their eyes, mouth, and breathe, taking in the gas' full effects. If a recruit cannot perform the task, they will repeat the tear gas chamber process. During Week 3, all recruits also recieve their M4A1 rifle and learn marksmanship techniques (without actually firing the rifle) and field stripping among other maintenance tasks.

Phase II:

The Second phase is where recruits are introduced to armed combat. With the standard M4A1 they will fire at various targets at varying distances downrange with are increasingly difficult. Recruits are also familiarized with other standard Army weapons, such as the M67 grenade, M203 grenade launchers, and the M2 and M249 machineguns, as well as anti-tank/armor weapons. As well as weapons training, a large obstacle course that recruits must navigate in a certain time limit is introduced, designed to build self-confidence and further strengthen teamwork. Intense physical training exercises still continue through Phase II, ending with a PT and weapons test that students must pass to move onto Phase III.

Phase III:

Phase III puts together everything that students have learned in the first two phases of their training. A PT final is introduced in the beginning, which soldiers must pass before moving onto field exercises with the rest of their platoon. Those that succeed move onto camping and field training exercises such as night operations and urban exercises. During this time there is no access to the dining facility, and recruits must live off of MRE's. The Drill Sergeants become adversaries for their students during many exercises, working against the recruits during night time operations and attempting to outwit plans, helping the learning curve. Other companies going through basic training field exercises may participtate in the combat scenarios creating intense competition and bettering both groups. The second week of Phase III ends in the field training exercise where the Drill Sergeants will advise their recruits, but recruit platoon leaders and student squad leaders perform the primary decision making, leaving things in the hands of the students. Establishing a sense of the unknown and variability, each exercise will be different. During these exercises, students must show a sense of agression, fearlessness, as well as intelligence and common sense. If students demonstrate these qualities, they will move onto Advanced Indiviual Training (AIT), which follows basic combat training. Following the field exercises, students enter the final week of training. The final week is more relaxed, where recruits take care of and repair any equipment they will not be bringing to AIT, and setting up the barracks for the next round of recruits. The week ends with a final graduation ceremony, establishing their successful passage of basic combat training.

Advanced Individual Training:

AIT varies greatly depending on the soldiers profession within the Army. It may last anywhere between three weeks to just shy of two years. AIT progressively allows more independence for new soldiers, and consistently increases their skills in their job field until graduation, where they move onto their full time unit.

Navy:

Training in Guruda's Navy consists of a 8 week of a basic training course, divided up into stages. Training is centered on shifting the recruits to a military lifestyle, leaving their civilian mindset behind. Teamwork is highly stressed, to allow the Navy to run at its peak. The first week focuses on basic processing, with the distribution of uniforms, introduction to their drill instructor, vaccination process, military haircuts, uniform codes, and other necessary paperwork. Following processing week, 'week 1' truly begins, which is the most intense physical portion of the entry training. Navy recruits under go their swim qualification exam, learn the details of ranks and ratings, military drill, and the core values of Guruda's Navy. Moving to week two, recruits enhance learning starting with the Navy's chain of command, customs, and watchstanding. Week 3 is a very hands on stage, learning laws of armed conflict, personal finance, basic seamanship, shipboard communication, and Navy ship and aircraft identification. The first physical fitness test is also performed, focusing on activities such as push-ups, sit-ups, and 1.5 mile run. At the completion of the week, recruits are issued their dog tags. Weapons training is performed during week 4, and recruits become familiar with the TZ-99 pistol and M4 rifle. Initially starting with classrom lectures on preparation, safety, and maintenance, live fire training comes towards the end of the week.

Week 5 becomes one of the more mentally demanding portions of training, as recruits begin to take over daily tasks and chores to keep the base running. It is the most test intensive week, as more drill instructions and drill assessments begin. Week six focuses on operations aboard a ship, learning shipboard damage control and firefighting skills. Training features drills to escape smoke filled compartments, opening and closing watertight doors, using self-contained breathing aparatus', carrying firehoses, and extinguishing fires. Week six also concludes with training in the tear gas chamber.

Concluding with week 7 (week 8 including processing) recruits undergo a test of the material covered throughout their entry training in an intensive 12-hour long exercise which has gained the title "battle stations." Once they have completed the exercise they become Sailors, are awarded their Navy cap, and undergo their graduation ceremonies and official entrance into Guruda's Navy.

Training Specializations

Due to the variety of ever changing potential combat zones, the members of Guruda's military have the opportunity to go through a variety of different specializations allowing the military to be effective throughout the globe. Soldiers throughout the Army can go through training courses giving them skills in mountain, tropical, arctic, desert, airborne, air assault, mechanized, and seaborne warfare. Guruda's Army has a division devoted to mountain, airborne, air assault, mechanized, and seaborne warfare.

Roles

The basic purpose of the Army and Navy is preserving peace and security of Guruda, as well as supporting national policies, implimenting national objectives, and overcoming any nations and threats to the country. In peace time, the Army is used for humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, civil support, nation and security assistance, foreign internal defense, and all around peace building. In times of conflict the Army can conduct counterterrorism/anti terrorism operations, noncombatant evacuation, support to insurgency, peacekeeping, peace enforcement, overall show of force as a deterrent, strikes, raids, and attacks, with the overall objective of resovling conflict and deterring war. During wartime, the mission is to conduct limited warfare, joint warfare, multinational warfare, large scale combat, general warfare, or global warfare, with the overall objective of fighting and winning the war.

Operating Temperature: -40° to +140°F ( -40° to +60°C)
Ammunition: Fin-stabilized projectile with HEAT warhead
Projectiles:
HEDP 502 (High Explosive Dual Purpose): For use against bunkers, buildings, enemy personnel in the open and light armor. The projectile can be set to detonate on impact or with a slight delayed detonation. The heavier nose cap allows the HEDP projectile to penetrate light walls or windows and then explode, or "skipped" off the ground for an air-burst. For use against light armor, there is a smaller cone HEAT warhead with 150 mm of penetration against RHA.

HP (High Penetration): Extra high penetration ability (up to 500 to 600 mm of RHA.)

AST (Anti Structure Tandem-warheads): Designed for urban warfare where a projectile heavier than the HEDP AT4 is needed. Two warheads, first one a HEAT with a shallow cone resulting in less penetration but a wider hole, and a second follow through high-blast warhead. It has two settings: one for destroying bunkers and one for mouse holing a building wall for combat entry.

HEAT (High Explosive Anti Tank): The AT4 HEAT can penetrate up to 420 mm of RHA with beyond-armour effect.

AT8 (Bunker Busting): A version of the AT4 where the standard HEAT projectile is replaced with the bunker busting warhead developed for the SMAW.

AT12 (130mm Frontal Engagement Version): In the early 1990s, there were tests of a tandem charge 130-mm version (Bofors AT 12) that would be able to penetrate the front armor of any modern (MBT)

NOTE: RHA is mentioned several times throughout the information with the AT4. RHA stands for Rolled homogeneous armour which is a type of steel that is used to armor vehicles

Ammunition:
High Explosive (HE) (M-107 NC/DC): Explosive Composition B material packed into a thick,internally-scored shell which causes a large blast and sends razor-sharp fragments at extreme velocities (5,000–6,000 meters per second). The kill zone is approximately a radius of 50 meters and casualty radius is 100 meters

Rocket Assisted Projectile: (RAP) A rocket-assisted HE (also known as H.E.R.A.) round that adds to the maximum range of the normal HE. For the 155mm RAP round, max range is 30.1 km

White Phosphorus (WP): A base-ejecting projectile which can come in two versions: felt-wedge and standard. White phosphorus smoke is used to start fires, burn a target, or to create smoke which is useful in concealing the movements of friendly units

Illumination: Illumination projectiles are base-ejecting rounds which deploy a bright parachute flare ideally 600 meters above the ground and illuminates an area of approximately 1 grid square (1,000,000 square meters). Illumination rounds are often used in conjunction with HE rounds, to illuminate the target area so that HE rounds can be fired more effectively. Illumination rounds can also be used during the daytime to mark targets for aircraft

DPICM: Dual-Purpose Improved Conventional Munition. A base-ejecting projectile which drops 88 bomblets above a target. Each bomblet has a shaped-charge munition capable of penetrating two inches of solid steel as well as a fragmentation casing which is effective against infantry in the open. The DPICM round is effective against armored vehicles, even tanks (since the deck armor is usually the thinnest on the vehicle), and is also extremely useful against entrenched infantry in positions with overhead cover

ADAMS (Area Denial Artillery Munition System): An artillery round that releases antipersonnel mines. These mines eject tripwires to act as booby traps, and when triggered are launched upward before exploding. They are designed to self-destruct after a pre-determined period of time

RAAMS: An artillery round that releases anti-armor mines, usually used along with ADAM rounds to prevent the antitank mines from being removed. Designed to self-destruct after a pre-determined period of time

Copperhead: An artillery launched guided high explosive munition which is used for very precise targeting of high value targets such as tanks and fortifications. It requires the target be designated with a laser designator system

SADARM: An experimental munition which is fired in the general direction of an enemy vehicle. The shell activates at a certain point in time ejecting a parachute and then guides itself to the nearest vehicle

Unit cost: $15.4 million

Speed: 150 knots
Endurance: 2.5 hours
Rate of Climb (ft per minute) 990

Armament:
One of the revolutionary features at the introduction of the Apache was its helmet mounted display, the Integrated Helmet and Display Sighting System (IHADSS); among other abilities the pilot or gunner can slave the helicopter's 30 mm automatic M230 Chain Gun to his helmet, making the gun track head movements to point at where he looks. The M230E1 can be alternatively fixed to a locked forward firing position, or controlled via the Target Acquisition and Designation System (TADS).

The AH-64 is designed to endure front-line environments and to operate during the day or night and in adverse weather using avionics, such as the Target Acquisition and Designation System, Pilot Night Vision System (TADS/PNVS), passive infrared countermeasures, GPS, and the IHADSS. A newer system that is replacing TADS/PNVS is Arrowhead (MTADS).

The AH-64 is adaptable to numerous different roles within its context as Close Combat Attack (CCA), and has a customizable weapons loadout for the role desired. In addition to the 30-mm M230E1 Chain Gun, the Apache carries a range of external stores on its stub-wing pylons, typically a mixture of AGM-114 Hellfire anti-tank missiles, and Hydra 70 general-purpose unguided 70 mm (2.76 in) rockets. The Stinger and AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles and the AGM-122 Sidearm anti-radiation missile were evaluated beginning in the late 1980s.. In case of emergency the pylons also have mounting points for personnel transfer, though the mounting points are normally used for ground helicopter maintenance. External fuel tanks can also be carried by the pylons to increase range and mission time.

Gurudan Airforce (GAF)

*UNDER CONSTRUCTION/INCOMPLETE (subject to change)

Personnel:

The classification of any GAF job is the Air Force Occupation Code (AFOC). They range from flight combat operations such as a gunner, to working in a dining facility to ensure that members are properly fed. There are many different jobs in fields such as computer specialties, mechanic specialties, enlisted aircrew, communication systems, avionics technicians, medical specialties, civil engineering, public affairs, hospitality, law, drug counseling, mail operations, security forces, and search and rescue specialties.

Perhaps the most dangerous GAF jobs are Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD), Combat rescue officer, Pararescue, Security Forces, Combat Control, Combat Weather, Tactical Air Control Party, and AFOSI agents, who deploy with infantry and special operations units who disarm bombs, rescue downed or isolated personnel, call in air strikes and set up landing zones in forward locations. Most of these are enlisted positions. Other jobs have seen increasing combat, including engineers, vehicle operators, and OSI.

Nearly all enlisted jobs are "entry level," meaning that the GAF provides all training. Some enlistees are able to choose a particular job, or at least a field before actually joining, while others are assigned an AFSC at Basic Military Training (BMT). After BMT, new airmen attend a technical training school where they learn their particular AFOC. Second Air Force, a part of Air Education and Training Command, is responsible for nearly all technical training.

Training programs vary in length; for example, Services has 31 days of tech school training, while Explosive Ordnance Disposal is one year of training with a preliminary school and a main school consisting of over 10 separate divisions, sometimes taking students close to two years to complete.

GAF rank is divided between enlisted airmen, non-commissioned officers, and commissioned officers, and ranges from the enlisted Airman Basic (E-1) to the commissioned rank of General (O-10). Enlisted promotions are granted based on a combination of test scores, years of experience, and selection board approval while officer promotions are based on time-in-grade and a promotion board.

Commissioned Officers-

The commissioned officer ranks of the GAF are divided into three sections: company grade, field grade, and general officers. Company grade officers are those officers in pay grades O-1 to O-3, while field grade officers are those in pay grades O-4 to O-6, and general officers are those in pay grades of O-7 and above.

Currently, promotion from Second Lieutenant to First Lieutenant is virtually guaranteed after two years of satisfactory service. The promotion from First Lieutenant to Captain is competitive after successfully completing another two years of service. Promotion to Major and above is through a board process where the officer's record is reviewed by a selection board. This process occurs approximately between the seven- and ten-year mark, where a certain percentage of Captains will be selected for Major. This process will repeat at the 11–14 year mark for promotion to Lieutenant Colonel, and then around the 18–20 year mark for promotion to Colonel.

[Guruda]

Army/Navy Expeditionary Unit (ANEU)

Due to the ever increasing need of rapidly deployable ground and air forces, a joint partnership between the Army and Navy of Guruda resulted in the Army/Navy Expeditionary Unit, or ANEU. Ships and sailors and fixed wing pilots forming the compliment are in service with the Navy, while stationed infantry, drivers, and helicopter pilots are under service with the Army. A normal ANEU consists of a ground combat element, avation combat element, logistics combat element, and a command element. Personel typically numbers around 2,200 soldiers and sailors, stationed on an Wasp Class Amphibious Assault Ship.

The strength behind the ANEU is designed to thoroughly exploit the combat power shown between air and ground assets by closely integrating them into a single force. The ANEU brings all the supplies and logistical support it needs to sustain itself for quick mission accomplishment or to pave the way for any follow-up forces. This self-sustainment allows more flexibility in disposition and operations of forces, and allows the ANEU to begin operations sooner and let support catch up later, without having to wait for outside logistical support, in order to begin their mission.

Developed seperately from standard Army or Navy fields, aircraft stationed on ANEU's followed a different line of production. Following examples of other nations, aircraft that specialized for ship based activity were produced, allowing for more effecient deployment and activity. Personal soldier armarmants remain standard.

Ground Element:
4 T-90 MBT's
10-15 Light Armored Vehicles
15 Amphibious Assault Vehicles
6 M198 Howitzers
8 M252 81mm Mortars
8 BGM-71 TOW Missle Weapon Systems
8 FGM-148 Javelin anti-tank missle systems

Avaition Element:
4-6 AH-1W Super Cobra Attack Helicopters
3 UH-1N Twin Huey utility Helicopters
12 CH-46E Sea Knight medium assault helicopters
4 CH-53E Super Stallion heavy assault helicopters
6 AV-8B Harrier Jets
2 KC-130 Hercules re-fueler/transport aircraft (usually maintained in Guruda)

Logistics Element:
2 Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Units
1 LMT 3000 Water purification units
4 Tractor, Rubber Tire, Articulated Steering Vehicles
2 TX51-19M Rough Terrain Forklifts
3 D7 Bulldozer's
1 Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement dump trucks
4 Mk48 Logistics Vehicle System

Multiple Elements:
7 500 gallon water containers
63 Humvees
30 Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement Trucks
12 Mechanized Landing Craft

Elements Detail:

Ground Combat Element: The ground combat element (GCE) is based on the battalion landing team (BLT), an infantry battalion backed up by an artillery battery, amphibious assault vehicle platoon, combat engineer platoon, light armored reconnaissance company, tank platoon, reconnaissance platoon, and other units as the mission and circumstances require. The total strength is approximately 1,100 members.

The reconnaissance platoon provides the basic element for the Maritime Special Purpose Force. This force consists of four elements. The assault platoon (a direct action platoon), security (a selected infantry platoon from the battalion landing team), reconnaissance and surveillance assets, and a headquarters section. The total strength is approximately 350 soldiers and sailors.

Aviation Combat Element: The aviation combat element is a joint Army/Navy composite squadron composed of a medium or heavy helicopter squadron augmented with three other types of helicopters, one detachment of amphibious flight-deck-capable jets, and an air control group detachment with air traffic control, direct air support, and anti-aircraft assets. Flight-deck-capable jets are piloted by Navy personnel , while helicopters are flown by Army pilots.

Logistics Combat Element: The logistics combat element (LCE) is based on the ANEU combat logistics battalion (CLB). It contains all the logistics specialists and equipment necessary for the ANEU to support and sustain itself for up to 30 days in a severe expeditionary environment. It includes service support (postal and disbursing), medical, dental, intermediate maintenance, intermediate supply (consumables and secondary reparables), transportation (distribution and landing support), explosive ordnance disposal, military police, utilities production and distribution, bulk fuels, internal communications, and various other technical experts. It consists of approximately 300 Soldiers and Sailors.

Command Element: The command element (CE), which includes the ANEU commander and his supporting staff, provides command and control over the other three elements. It includes specialized detachments for naval gunfire, reconnaissance, surveillance, specialized communications, radio reconnaissance (SIGINT), electronic warfare, intelligence and counterintelligence, and public affairs missions. The overall strength is about 200 Soldiers and Sailors.

More ANEU Information:

ANEU's maintain their subordinate elements in fifteen month cycles: a nine months stationing in Guruda (with six set aside for training), and a six month deployment aboard ship. These cycles ensure that at least ANEU is deployed forward at all times.

Interim or buildup period: Upon completion of a deployment, the expeditionary unit remains "special operations capable" for approximately one month, prepared to respond to events around the world. The ANEU then releases its major subordinate elements (MSEs), retaining only its command element. This period provides the command element a chance to rotate select personnel and begin planning for the addition of newly assigned MSEs and “work-up” training. When the MSEs are received, the ANEU begins six months of intense pre-deployment training.

Work-up period: During the training cycle, the Sailors and Sailors progress through curriculum and exercises that teach individual, small unit, and unit tactics while integrating the separate ANEU elements into a cohesive, flexible, and powerful force. The work-up period includes training in many combat and noncombat skills, to include:

-Urban sniper
-Mechanized and motorized raids
-Non-combatant evacuation operations
-Humanitarian assistance
-Mass casualty
-Scout swimmer
-Jungle and/or mountain warfare
-Riot control

Exercises conducted during the work-up period can include:
-Amphibious squadron—ANEU integration training (ASIT)
-Realistic urban training exercise (RUT)
-Expeditionary strike group exercise (ESGEX)
-Special operations capable certification exercise (CERTEX or SOCCEX); prior to deployment, the ANEU receives certification as special operations capable and then referred to as a "ANEU (SOC)". There is very little within the capability of a ANEU (SOC) that meets the level of special operations practiced by Gurudan Special Forces, but instead refers to the ability of the ANEU to perform missions outside that of the traditional missions of its component units.

Deployment: Following the work-up period, the ANEU deploys for six months in support of geographic combatant commanders. During this time, the ANEU is a forward-deployed, self-sustaining force that combatant commanders can direct to accomplish a variety of special operations and conventional missions.

The missions may include:
-Conventional operations (amphibious assaults and raids)
-Tactical recovery of aircraft and personnel (TRAP)
-Humanitarian assistance operations (HAO)
-Noncombatant evacuation operations (NEO)
-Security operations.

There are currently three ANEU's in service:

4th Army/Navy Expeditionary Unit
7th Army/Navy Expeditionary Unit
10th Army/Navy Expeditionary Unit

Gurudan Unified Special Operations Command (GUSOC)

GUSOC is the unified command that oversees the different Special Operations Command's of Guruda's Army, Navy, and Air Force. GUSOC is part of the Department of Defense. GUSOC conducts covert and clandestine missions, including unconventional warfare, counter-terror, foreign internal defense, special reconnaisance, psychological warfare, civil affairs, and direct action, among others. Each branch of the military has their own Special Operations Command that is distinct and fully capable of directing their own independent operations, but GUSOC becomes the joint command when the different Special Operations Forces need to work together on a mission, allowing the command and movement of operations to run smoother.

Army Special Operations Forces:

Commanded by, Gurudan Army Special Operations Command (GASOC)

Gurudan Army Legion: The "Legion's" are the main airborne light-infantry unit of the Gurudan Army, serving as a flexible and rapidly deployable force, with each batallion able to deploy anywhere in the world with only 18 hours notice. The Army places many resources and importance into the operation and training of the Legion, as they are capable of conduction both conventional and most special operations missions. Legion's can infiltrate via land, sea, or air, and direct action operations conducting raids, or assaulting buildings and airfields.

Gurudan Army Special Forces (GASF): Members of the GASF can perform a variety of missions such as, unconvientional warfare, foreign internal defense, special reconnaissance, direct action, counter-terrorism, and counter proliferation, and can operate during peacetime, conflict, and war. The main mission of the GASF is foreign internal defense, where operatives help friendly developing nations by cooperating with their military and police forces to improve their technical skills, understanding of human rights issues, and to help with humanitarian projects. The unconventional warfare capabilities provide a viable military option for a variety of operational taskings that are inappropriate or infeasible for conventional forces. GASF are the military’s premier unconventional warfare force.

Both foreign internal defense and unconventional warfare missions are the Specialty of the Special Forces soldiers. Due to this reason, GASF candidates are trained extensively in weapons, engineering, communications and medicine. SF soldiers are taught to be warriors first and teachers second because they must be able to train their team and be able to train their allies during a foreign internal defense or unconventional warfare mission. Often SF units are required to perform additional activities outside their primary missions. These activities are coalition warfare/support, combat search and rescue, security assistance, peacekeeping, and humanitarian assistance.

Special Operations Flight Team (SOFT): SOFT provides avaition support to units within GUSOC. The flight team consists of MH-6 and LH-6 "Little Bird" light helicopters, MH-60 and MH-47 Heavy Assault Helicopters. Focusing on night operations, the primary task of SOFT is to conduct overt or covert infiltration, exfiltration, and resupply of special operations forces across a wide variety of environmental conditions.

Special Operations Airborne Sustainment Brigade (SOASB): SOASB Soldiers support members of GUSOC. In each Soldier's respective field, they are signal and support elements who provide supplies, maintenance, equipment, and expertise, allowing GUSOC units to move at maximum effeciency. Because SOASB mainly uses Special Operations specific equipment, Soldiers assigned to SOASB units are trained in a wide variety of specialized equipment, not usually in use by convientional Soldiers.

Navy Special Forces:

Commanded by, Gurudan Naval Special Warfare Command (GNSWC)

SPECTRES (SPEcial Tactics and REconnaisance): Throughout their service, Spectre's have distinguished themselves as a very reliable, highly disciplined, and exceptionally skilled maritime strike force. The most influential difference between Spectre's and other Special Operations operatives is their maritime special operations ability, as they often strike from and return to the sea. Operating in the sea, air, and land, they are adaptable to all environments. Specializing in stealth and clandestine methods of operation allow them to conduct multiple missions against targets that larger forces cannot approach undetected. Due to the high danger present in their missions, Spectre's recieve world class, top-notch training, equipment, and support throughout their careers.

Spectre Delivery Vehicle Teams (SDVT's): SDVT's are Spectre's who use the SDV MK VIII Advanced Spectre Delivery System (ASDS) which provide GNSWC with an unprecidented ability that combines the attributes of clandestine underwater mobility and the combat swimmer.

Special Operations Craft Unit (SOCU): SOCU's are trained extensively in craft and weapons tactics, techniques and procedures. Focusing on clandestine infiltration and exfiltration of Spectre's and other special operations forces, SOCU's provide dedicated, rapid mobility in shallow water areas where larger ships cannot operate. Like Spectre's, SOCU Sailors must have excellent physical fitness, highly motivated, combat-focused and responsive in high stress situations. Operating on state of the art SOC-R's (Special Operation Craft-Riverine) they can get in and out quietely, but if the team has run into trouble they can easily go loud. Featuring 7.62mm or .50 caliber machine guns, 40mm grenade launchers, as well as 7.62mm mini-guns, the boat teams can put up a real fight against any opposing force disrupting the operation. Being able to operate in shallow water, and being highly maneuvarable these are some of the most deadly boats in the world.

Air Force Special Forces:

Commanded by, Gurudan Air Force Special Operations Command (GAFSOC)

1st Special Operations Wing (1 SOW): The Special Operations Wing focuses on unconventional warfare, counter-terrorism, combat search and rescue, personnel recovery, psychological operations, aviation assistance to developing nations, "deep battlefield" resupply, interdiction and close air support. The wing's primary missions include aerospace surface interface, agile combat support, combat aviation advisory operations, information operations, personnel recovery/recovery operations, precision aerospace fires, psychological operations dissemination, specialized aerospace mobility and specialized aerial refueling. Among its aircraft is the MC-130 Combat Talon II, a low-level terrain following special missions transport that can evade radar detection and slip into enemy territory at a 200-foot altitude for infiltration/exfiltration missions, even in zero visibility, dropping off or recovering men or supplies with pinpoint accuracy. It also operates the AC-130 Spooky and Spectre gunships that provide highly accurate airborne gunfire for close air support of conventional and special operations forces on the ground.

15th Special Operations Wing (15 SOW): The 15th Special Operations Wing's primary mission includes infiltration, exfiltration and re-supply of special operations forces; air refueling of special operations rotary wing and tiltrotor aircraft; and precision fire support. These capabilities support a variety of special operations missions including direct action, unconventional warfare, special reconnaissance, counter-terrorism, personnel recovery, psychological operations and information operations.

24th Special Operations Wing (24 SOW): The 24th Special Operations Wing flies and maintains the MC-130E Combat Talon I and MC-130P Combat Shadow special operations aircraft designed for covert operations.

110th Special Tactics Groud (110 STG): The 110th Special Tactics Group organizes, trains and equips Special forces worldwide to integrate, synchronize, and/or control the elements of air and space power in the area of operations. It also provides long-range operational and logistics planning, and deploys command and control elements during special tactics force employment or deployment.

Air Force Pararescue: Pararescuemen are GUSOC and GAFSOC operatives tasked with recovery and medical treatment of personnel in humanitarian and combat environments. They are the only members of the GUSOC specifically organized, trained and equipped to conduct personnel recovery operations in hostile or denied areas as a primary mission. Also known as "PJs" (Pararescue Jumpers), they are attached to other SOF teams from all branches to conduct other operations as appropriate.

Air Support Controllers (ASC): With a seemingly simple title, ASC's have a very important job. Their role is to call, direct, and adjust fire for air support. They are able to coordinate attacks with anything in Guruda's arsenal that can fly, and are highly qualified for this position. Operating with special operations units, or even standard infantry, they have control over close air support and target enemy installations or soldiers and make sure the bombs hit their target. A small group of trained ASC's can have a massive influence on Guruda's dominance in a given area.


*It is important to note that due to the variety of missions and deployments Special Operations Forces may face, straying away from standard issue equipment is common, be it combat uniforms, or equipment.
