Ewa Beachian Military Factbook
"The only hope you have is to accept the fact that you're already dead. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll be able to function as a soldier is supposed to function: without mercy, without compassion, without remorse. All war depends upon it."

I. Overview
The Federal Military of The Federation of Ewa Beach can be divided into two subdivisions: the Federal Armed Forces (comprising the Federations' main military forces and their reserves), and the National Guard (comprising the Federations' strict homeland defense force). Intrinsically, preference is given to the Federal Armed Forces in terms of equipment and funding, though the nation's budget allocates over (USD)1 Trillion in military spending, providing enough fiscal support for the entirety of Ewa Beach's military options.
Senior Command Structure
The Federation has a strong tradition of civilian control of the military. While the President is the overall head of the military, the Federation Department of Defense (DoD), a federal executive department, is the principal organ by which military policy is carried out. The DOD is headed by the Secretary of Defense, who is a civilian and a member of the Cabinet, who also serves as the President's second-in-command of the military. To coordinate military action with diplomacy, the President has an advisory National Security Council headed by a National Security Advisor. Both the President and Secretary of Defense are advised by a six-member Joint Chiefs of Staff, which includes the head of each of the service branches, led by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
All five branches are under the direction of the Department of Defense, except the Coast Guard, which was made an agency of the Department of Homeland Security. The Coast Guard may be transferred to the Department of the Navy by the President or Congress during a time of war. All five armed services are among the seven uniformed services of the Federation; the others are the Federation Public Health Service Commissioned Corps and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Corps.
Major Military Facilities
Symbolically, the Federal Military answers to the Federal Government in Ewa City, which answers to the President in the symbolic capital of Resburg. Functionally, the major nerve center of the Federal Military is located in Ranava. The Federations Army Forces Command (FORSCOM), the chief center for military planning and aerospace defense is located in Ranava, as is Headquarters for the Department of the Navy and the Headquarters for the Department of the Air Force. The Headquarters for the Department of the Army is located in nearby Fort Bull.
Recently, The Federation of Ewa Beach and The Republik of Solm have formed a Joint Task Force. Designated Echo-Sierra Joint Task Force. It is comprised of 1,000,000 soldiers. Both combat and support. Ewa Beach has devoted 500,000 troops, and Solm has devoted 500,000 troops to the JTF. The ESJTF will be the main military force deployed when involved in a war. Ewa Beach and Solm will deploy their own militaries, but the Task Force will be sent out at the same time. There is a ESJTF Military Base in both nations. One in Fort Catt of Ewa Beach, and it is unknown where Solm has placed their ESJTF Military Base.

Citizenship for Service
All natural born, able-bodied male civilians must begin a compulsory service term with the Federal Armed Forces or the National Guard of no less than two years by no later than the age of 25. Following the completion of their two year mandatory service term, the men can opt to remain with their active service branch, become designated to the Reserve Corps of their respected branch (if applicable), transfer to the active or reserve National Guard, or withdraw from the military altogether. Such a structure is designed to award serving men with the status of citizenship in the US. All natural born men and women of the United States are automatically granted citizenship at birth. Both of the subdivisions of the Federal Military retain Reserve Corps - the Federal Armed Forces and the National Guard. The Reservists from the Federal Armed Forces and the National Guard fall into the same organizational structure as the active troop body does.
Matériel
The Federal Military uses a strategy called Simplistic Superiority in its military planning. A more commonly referred colloquial slogan would be "Strong by Force, Virtuous by Simplicity". This refers to the Federal Military's policy of using matériel that is easily transferable from one branch of the military to another. Every branch and subdivision of the Federal Military uses the same basic uniform structure, with color alterations made to order, and all military branches are equipped with the same weapons program, produced by Slevens Weapons & Munitions Company. The entirety of the Federal Military Field Weapons Arsenal contains only eleven different platforms: the KA-BAR Combat Knife, the M1A Model Bayonet, the M9 Military Pistol, the MP5 Military SMG, the M1A SOCOM II, the AA-12 Military Automatic Combat Shotgun, the MK19 Grenade Machine Gun, the M203 Grenade Launcher, and the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon. The Federal Military uses three classes of grenades: the AN-M18 Smoke Grenade, the M67 Fragmentation Grenade, and the M1 Incendiary Grenade.
Furthermore, all airmen, marines, and sailors make use of the Meals Ready to Eat, a series of ration kits used in the field, dependent on the environment and situation. All MRE Kits maintain the same basic composition:
-main course (entree)
-side dish
-dessert or snack (often commercial candy, fortified pastry, or HOOAH! Bar)
-crackers or bread
-spread of cheese, peanut butter, or jelly
-powdered beverage mix: fruit flavored drink, cocoa, instant coffee or tea, sport drink, or dairy shake.
-utensils (usually just a plastic spoon)
-flameless ration heater (FRH)
-beverage mixing bag
Accessory pack:
-xylitol chewing gum
-water-resistant matches
-napkin / toilet paper
-moist towelette
-seasoning; including salt, pepper, sugar, creamer, and/or Tabasco sauce
Personnel Grades and Decorations
The Federal Military uses a three-phase, twenty-five tier rank structure to denote personnel levels in the two subdivisions: the Federal Armed Forces, and the National Guard The three phases are unilateral across the board, and encompass the three levels of Ewa Beachian military personnel: Enlisted Personnel, Warrant Officers and Commissioned Officers. The enlisted personnel phase holds nine levels or grades, the warrant officer phase holds five rank levels, and the commissioned officer phase holds eleven rank levels. In both subdivisions, the Federal Military uses the same Military Decorations.
