Armed Forces of the Realm of Cotland

The Armed Forces of the Realm of Cotland is the organization responsible for the territorial defence of the Realm of Cotland and its interests. The Armed Forces are organized under the purview of the Ministry of Defence, which answers to the Cabinet and the Parliament.

The Armed Forces of the Realm of Cotland (AFRC for short) consist of three branches. These are the Royal Cottish Army (RCA), the Royal Cottish Navy (RCN), and the Royal Cottish Air Force (RCAF). Additionally, the AFRC includes the Armed Forces Logistics Organization (AFLO), the Intelligence Service (CIS) and the Special Operations Command (SOKDA), which are Joint Service Commands that contain personnel from all three branches and, in the case of AFLO and CIS, civilian employees.

Royal Cottish Army

The Royal Cottish Army (Cottish: den Kongelige Cottiske Hær) is the main branch of the Armed Forces of the Realm of Cotland responsible for land-based military operations. It is the largest and oldest uniformed branch of the Cottish military, and is one of the XXX uniformed services. The modern Army has its roots in the Royal Army which was formed in 1443, to meet the needs of the King for a sizable army of conquest in what is today considered to be the Eastern Territories. The Royal Cottish Army direct decendant of the Royal Army of 1443, and thus dates its inception from the origins of that force.

The primary mission of the Army is "to fight and win Cotland's wars by providing prompt, sustained land dominance across the full range of military operations and spectrum of conflict in support of unified combatant commanders."

The Army is a military service within the Armed Forces of the Realm of Cotland, reporting politically to the Royal Ministry of Defence. Formally, the Commander in Chief of the Army is the Monarch of Cotland, who holds supreme authority over the Armed Forces of the Realm of Cotland under Article 25 of the Constutition of the Realm of Cotland 1814. As such, the Army pledges its allegiance directly to the Monarch, and is consequently responsible for the personal protection of the Royal House of Cotland. Administratively, the Army is led by the Minister of Defence, and the top military officer is the Marshall of the Army, who represents the Army in the Royal War Council.

During FY 2021, the Regular Army has an authorized strength of 1,100,000 soldiers, while the Army Reserve is allowed 2,500,000 soldiers in the organized reserve forces, making for a total strength of 3,700,000 soldiers available to the Army's peacetime establishment. In the event of mobilization or general war, the Army is able to recall to colours a significantly higher number of troops, as well as draft previously untrained civilians into new units.

Mission

The Army's present purpose and mission statement is specified in the Army Act 1921, which defines the purpose as

preserving the peace and security and providing for the defence of the Realm of Cotland, the Protectorates and possessions, and any other areas occupied by the Realm of Cotland
preserve, protect and defend the Royal House of the Realm of Cotland
preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the Realm of Cotland
supporting national policies as defined by the lawful Government of the Realm of Cotland
implementing national objectives as defined by the lawful Government of the Realm of Cotland
overcoming any nations responsible for aggressive acts that imperil the peace and security of the Realm of Cotland

Army Components

Currently, the Royal Cottish Army is divided into the Army Ground Forces (Hærens Bakkestyrker), the Army Airborne Forces (Hærens Luftlandestyrker), and the Army Support Forces (Hærens Støttestyrker), all of which report to the General Headquarters, Royal Cottish Army (GHQ, Generalstaben). The Royal Cottish Army is also divided into major branches such as the Air Defence Artillery, Infantry, Aviation, Cavalry, Artillery, Paratrooper Corps, Signal Corps, Engineer Corps, Logistics Corps, Transport Corps and Medical Corps. All soldiers are considered to be under the control of the National Government, as lawfully appointed by the King of Cotland. All officers in the Army are awarded their commission by the King of Cotland, and therefore owe their allegiance to the Monarch.

Administratively, the Army is divided into two seperate types of troops: Linjen (the Line troops), which are troops that are undergoing or have recently carried out their twenty-four month Military National Service period (age span: 18-35 years); and Landvernet (reserve troops), which are personnel that are deemed too old for Line duty and are relegated to territorial defence (age span: 35-46 years). Additionally, there exists a number of Provincial Defence Forces (Cottish: Landstormen) which are controlled by local Military Governors, which fall under Army control in the event of war.

Structure

The Royal Cottish Army is led by a civilian Minister of Defence via a civilian Secretary of State for the Army, who has statutory authority to conduct all the affairs of the Army under the authority, direction and control of the Minister of Defence. The Marshall of the Army, who is the highest ranked military officer in the Army has dual roles: one as the principal military adviser and executive agent for the Minister of Defence, i.e. its service chief, and secondly as a member of the Royal War Council, a body composed of the service chiefs from each of the military services belonging to the Ministry of Defence who advise the King of Cotland and the Cabinet on operational military matters, under the guidance of the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Royal War Council.

Operational control of the services follow a chain of command from the Chancellor in the name of the King to the Minister of Defence directly to the unified combatant commanders, who have control of all armed forces units in their geographical or functional area of responsibility. Thus, the Secretary of State of the military departments (and their respective service chiefs underneath them) only have the responsibility and authority to organize, train and equip their respective service components. The Army provides forces to the combatant commanders for operational use as directed by the Ministry of Defence.

Typical unit organization

A typical Cottish Brigade consists of three manouver elements, either two armoured regiments and one mechanized battalion (Armoured Brigade), two mechanized battalion and one armoured regiment (Mechanized Brigade), two mechanized and one light-role battalion (Infantry Brigade), or three light-role batallions (Air Assault Brigade), plus a cavalry regiment for reconnaissance and support. Supporting these manouver battalions are field artillery, air defence artillery, engineer and logistics units, all of which can be broken into three to five sub-units. This setup allows a Cottish brigade to form three Battalion Task Groups, which is built around one of the manouver battalions and have support units attached to fit the assigned mission. This gives a flexible and powerful force which is capable of carrying out both offensive and defensive tasks as required. A typical Cottish Brigade consists of between 4,000-5,000 troops depending on type.

A Cottish Mechanized Division consists of two Mechanized Infantry Brigades and one Armoured Brigade, plus command and control, field artillery, air defence, engineer, logistics and reconnaissance units. All Cottish manouver divisions are mechanized in nature, meaning that they require substantial rail or sealift to transport themselves and their equipment to overseas theatres. A typical Cottish Division consists of almost 25,000 troops when at full mobilization strength.

A typical Cottish Corps consists of between two to four manouver divisions and several seperate brigades, as well as command and control, field and rocket artillery, air defence, engineer, logistics and reconnaissance units. A Corps can consist of between 80,000-170,000 troops.

As of 2021, the Royal Cottish Army has an authorized strength of 37 Mechanized Divisions and 4 Airmobile Divisions, and over 150 seperate brigades of various types organized into eleven Corps-level formations. There are in turn organized into two Field Armies.

Due to cost and manpower reasons, 17 Mechanized Divisions are maintained in reserve at cadre strength in peacetime, allowing for a very quick build-up of trained, fully equipped and easily available forces if needed. Of higher headquarters, three Army-level commands are maintained in peacetime, allowing for easily available, trained and known command and control of large manouver forces. Additional higher headquarters can be established as needed by converting military regional headquarters and attaching reserve support formations.

"Second Formation" Reserves

The Royal Cottish Army also maintains the "Second Formation" concept, which consists of taking experienced staff and field officers and non-commissioned officers from the active units in the event of mobilization to form the cadre for inactive reserve units which are activated on mobilization. The active-duty personell form the nucleus of the reserve formations, which draw older (but still quite usable) equipment and armaments from stores and are filled in with mobilized inactive reserve personell within a very short period of time from the mobilization order is given. With experienced leaders and senior NCOs, the reservists will benefit from current military thinking and tactics in their refresher training.

This allows each manouver division to form a second reserve division, while each seperate manouver brigade can use its seconded officers and NCOs to form a reserve division. This enables the Royal Cottish Army to form approximately 60 manouver divisions virtually overnight, as the reservists for each division are expected to arrive at the divisional depot of the recently departed active division within 48-96 hours after mobilization is ordered. Here, the reservists will draw former generation equipment and weapons that have been stored for the "second formation" at the divisional depot and immediately start forming into their formations and begin refresher training. Each reserve division and its subordinate units are awarded a title and battle honours of inactive Cottish line divisions, establishing a proud heritage and espirit de corps for the mobilized reservists to rally around. Each combat support and combat service support brigade in the active forces will likewise use seconded officers and NCOs to form a "second formation" support brigade, supporting the rapidly built-up force.

The equipment and weapons stored at the divisional reserve depot are from the former generation of equipment and weapons, and are stored after the active division re-equips. This effectively makes them Category C formations. After re-equipping, the older equipment which is kept in store is transferred to central depots for re-issuing to territorial reserves or militias, or to forming additional wartime-only formations as needed. Typically, the equipment the reserve formations draw has been in reserve for at least a decade. However, provided the equipment has been properly prepared and maintained while in reserve, it will still be perfectly usable. Only truly antiquated and useless equipment is discarded, either by material reclamation or by transfer/sale to military museums or private ownership, depending on the type of equipment or weaponry. The antiquated equipment may also be gifted to foreign "freedom fighters" or friendly foreign governments if still usable. Especially small-arms is typically kept in reserve for long periods of time, to be issued as needed to territorial reserves or militias in time of war.

Naturally, the reserve divisions are not nearly as well trained or equipped as the main line divisions, but it is believed that after a forced training regime, the reserve divisions can be ready for frontline service and be expected to conduct themselves with reasonable success by mobilization+30 days. The longer the refresher training period is, the better the units are expected to preform. This allows the Royal Cottish Army a significant reserve that can very well turn the tide of war and allow the Army commanders to go on the offensive with numerical superiority, thus obeying the first law of war: always maintain the initiative.

Army Airborne Forces

The Army Airborne Forces are light infantry units, set up to be moved by aircraft and "dropped" into battle. Thus, they can be placed behind enemy lines, and have the capability to deploy almost anywhere with little warning. The formations are limited only by the number and size of their aircraft, so given enough capacity a huge force can appear "out of nowhere" in minutes, an action referred to as vertical envelopment. The Airborne Forces are the Royal Cottish Army's primary strategic asset, and at least one Airborne Division always serve as the Army's Quick Reaction Force, ready to be air-transported into any area in the world within 24 hours. As such, the Army Airborne Forces are organized directly under the General Headquarters, Royal Cottish Army (GHQ).

The Army Airborne Forces currently consists of a total of four Airmobile Divisions with eight Paratrooper Brigades, and one training centre. Each Parachute Division consists of two parachute brigades, a helicopter brigade, and a pathfinder battalion, plus divisional support elements for a total of 15,000 paratroopers per division. Each Parachute Brigade consists of three parachute infantry battalions, a pathfinder company, a light artillery battalion, and brigade support elements for a total of 4,000 troops per parachute brigade. The troops are trained both as paratroopers and in air assault disciplines, allowing them to do both tasks.

Royal Cottish Navy

The Royal Cottish Navy is the branch of the AFRC that is responsible for the seawards defence and power projection of the Realm of Cotland. For this purpose, the Royal Cottish Navy is a balanced, blue-water navy with green- and brown-water capabilities. The principal combat power of the Navy is found in the ten active aircraft carrier groups and the six active amphibious battle groups. With a standing personnel force of 1,100,000, the Royal Cottish Navy is the smallest branch of the AFRC, but by far the most combat experienced. Having been an active military branch since its formal establishment in 1411, the Royal Cottish Navy has time and time again proven that it has earned the coveted honor which has been formalized as its official motto: Rikets Vern (Defence of the Realm).

Like all other branches of the AFRC, the Navy relies on conscription to maintain its ranks, though due to the highly advanced and complicated equipment that the current Navy use, the conscription period in the Royal Cottish Navy is extended to thirty months.

Equipment-wise, the Royal Cottish Navy's strength have x active surface warships of varying sizes, x submarines, over x logistics support ships, and more than x other assorted ships for a total of x ships currently in commission with the Royal Cottish Navy, as well as an Naval Air Arm of in excess of x,000 fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters of both the manned and unmanned variety.

Organization

Organizationally, the Royal Cottish Navy is organized into two fleet commands, which are responsible for a geographical part of the world's oceans. These fleet commands have operational control of all naval assets in their specific geographical regions, and execute their missions as directed by Admirality. Additionally, there are several seperate commands which answer directly to the Admirality.

Administratively, the Navy is organized into various administrative branches, responsible for a specific type of ship or other asset. These administrative branches are responsible for personnel administration, unit working up and certification, and all other everyday administration. When the ships and units deploy, they become part of a combined Task Force which include ships and units of various administrative branches, commanded by a line Flag Officer. The Flag Officer commanding the Task Force is the tactical commander and responsible for executing tasks handed down from Admirality via the Numbered Fleet Commander. A Task Force is often subdivided into several Task Groups, which in turn can be subdivided into Task Elements. This allows for a highly flexible task organization that can rapidly be altered to meet suddenly changing environments and demands.

The Task Forces answers to Numbered Fleets, which in turn report to the Admiralty of the Royal Cottish Navy (Cottish: den Kongelige Admiralitet), which is part of the Royal Defence Staff (Cottish: den Kongelige Forsvarsstab). The Admiralty is responsible for overall administration, budgets, training and support to the Navy, and answers to the Ministry of Defence in peacetime. In wartime, the Admiralty is transformed into Marinens Overkommando (Navy High Command), and takes on a more direct command and control role and is responsible for providing overall strategic command and control of the Strategic Theatres of War. The Navy High Command answers to the War Council of the Realm, and is responsible for planning and executing operations in support of the goals and intentions issued by the War Council.

Unlike the Army and Air Force, the Navy maintains a large percentage (roughly 70%) of its wartime strength already in peacetime, as the mobilization activation of all Naval Reserve assets can take up to six months. Given the rapid nature of modern warfare and empirical data, most wars that the Realm of Cotland expects to fight in the near future will last less than three months. As a result, the Navy need to maintain the bulk of its forces in a ready stance.

Atlantic Fleet

The Atlantic Fleet is by far the most powerful numbered fleet, being responsible for all Cottish naval activity in the Atlantic Ocean and especially in home waters around Cotland. This includes geographical responsibility for the Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, North Sea, Norwegian Sea, Barents Sea, Kara Sea, Baltic Ocean, White Sea, and Caribbean Sea. The fleet is responsible for working up deployable units, and for the coastal and seaward defence of the Cottish homeland.

See His Majesty's Atlantic Fleet for further information.

Pacific Fleet

The Pacific Fleet is responsible for all Cottish naval activity in the entire Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean, including the Gulf of Persia, Red Sea, Strait of Malacca, South China Sea, Yellow Sea, and Bering Strait. The fleet is also responsible for the coastal and seaward defence of Protectorate of Polynesia, and the Republic of Canton.

See His Majesty's Pacific Fleet for further information.

Submarine Command

Royal Cottish Air Force

The Royal Cottish Air Force (RCAF) is the aerial warfare and space warfare branch of the Armed Forces of the Realm of Cotland and one of the Cottish uniformed services. Initially part of the Royal Cottish Army, the RCAF was formed as a separate branch of the military on 11 March 1943 under the National Security Act of 1943. As such, it is the most recent branch of the Armed Forces of the Realm of Cotland to be formed. Administratively, the Royal Cottish Air Force is organized into six Major Commands (MAJCOMs): Kampflykommando (Air Combat Command), Bombeflykommandoen (Bomber Command), Transportflykommandoen (Airlift Command), Spesialoperasjonskommandoen (Special Operations Command), Den Strategiske Rakettkommandoen (Strategic Rocket Command), and Romkommandoen (Space Command).

This new numbered Air Force's responsibilities included worldwide missions of special operations, combat rescue, weather reconnaissance and aerial sampling, security support for intercontinental ballistic missile sites, training of helicopter and HC-130 crewmen, pararescue training, and medical evacuation. In May 1986, legislation led to the formation of the Joint Special Operations Command (SOKDA), and Luftstyrke XIV was stripped of its non-special operations elements. In June 1992, Luftstyrke XIV was detached from Airlift Command and formed the nucleus of Special Operations Command, which was declared operational by 1 December 1992.

OPERATIONAL FORCES ORGANIZATION

Luftstyrke
A luftstyrke is the highest tactical formation in the Royal Cottish Air Force (RCAF), and is the equivalent to a Numbered Air Force. Commanded by a Major General or Lieutenant General, the luftstyrke is organized under the major operating commands of the RCAF and reflect the basic combat mission of its subordinate units. A luftstyrke consists of a headquarters, two to four luftgrupper, an airbase gruppe, responsible for operating and maintaining airbases and dispersal fields subordinated to the luftstyrke, an air defence gruppe responsible for the territorial air defence of the airbases, installations and area of responsibility given to the luftstyrke, a maintenance gruppe responsible for heavy depot-level maintenance of subordinated aircraft, as well as specialized luftvinger and skvadroner. A luftstyrke can consist of between 20,000-50,000 personell.

Luftgruppe
A luftgruppe is a force equivalent to an Air Division, and consists of two to four luftvinger as well as more specialized seperate skvadroner without an associated same-function luftving. Headed by a Brigader General or Major General, the luftgruppe is an intermediate command, subordinate to the luftstyrke and consists of a headquarters, three to five luftvinger, one or more specialized flying skvadroner without associated luftvinger, a security skvadron, and a maintenance skvadron. A luftgruppe often consists of approximately 9,000-15,000 personell.

Luftving
A luftving consists of three to four skvadroner, and is headed by a Lieutenant Colonel. The equivalent to a Wing or Air Regiment, the luftving supervises, commands and supports subordinate skvadroner. The luftving is often also the primary tenant unit of an airbase. Organizationally, a typical luftving consists of its subordinate flying skvadroner, as well as a headquarters, an operations skvadron, a maintenance skvadron, a medical skvadron, a security skvadron and an airbase skvadron, for a total of 2,000-3,000 personell depending on the type of luftving.

Skvadron
A skvadron consists of approximately twelve aircraft of a single type, organized into three four-aircraft sveit. The skvadron is headed by a Major, and consists of the three before-mentioned sveiter, an operations sveit, a security sveit, a maintenance sveit, and a medical sveit for a total of approximately 300 personell per skvadron.

Special Operations Command (SOKDA)

Spesialoperasjonskommandoen (Special Operations Command), or SOKDA for short, is the umbrella Joint Service Command responsible for administrating, training and employing the Special Operations Forces of the Realm of Cotland. All operations involving personnel from SOKDA is kept closely under wraps, and the Ministry of Defence will from principle never comment on any possible involvement of SOKDA units. Included among SOKDA's ranks we find the following units:

Army Special Forces
The Army Special Operations Command is the command charged with overseeing the various Special Operations Forces (SOF) of the Royal Cottish Army. The command is part of the Special Operations Command (Cottish: Spesialoperasjonskommandoen, SOKDA); a larger command overseeing all the different SOF Commands of each branch of the Cottish military.

Hærens Spesialkommando (HSK)
Established in 1942, The Army Special Operations (Cottish: Hærens Spesialkommando, HSK) is a Special Operations Force (SOF) of the Royal Cottish Army tasked with five primary missions: unconventional warfare, foreign internal defense, special reconnaissance, direct action, and counter-terrorism. These missions make Special Forces unique in the Cottish military, because they are employed throughout the three stages of the operational continuum: peacetime, conflict and war. HSK operatives are typically drawn from the Ranger, Airborne and Mountain Infantry communities, though any Army trooper who have served a minimum of four years and hold the rank of at least Corporal can apply for selection.

HSK's Unconventional Warfare capabilities provide a viable military option for a variety of operational taskings that are inappropriate or infeasible for conventional forces, making it the Cottish military's premier unconventional warfare force. Foreign Internal Defense operations, HSK 's main peacetime mission, are designed to help friendly developing nations by working with their military and police forces to improve their technical skills, understanding of human rights issues, and to help with humanitarian and civic action projects. Often HSK units are required to perform additional, or collateral, activities outside their primary missions. These collateral activities are coalition warfare/support, combat search and rescue, security assistance, peacekeeping, humanitarian assistance, humanitarian de-mining and counter-drug operations.

HSK is organized into ten Groups (eight standing, two reserve):

Spesialperasjonsgruppe I (HSK) (Standing Army)
Spesialperasjonsgruppe II (HSK) (Standing Army)
Spesialperasjonsgruppe III (HSK) (Standing Army)
Spesialperasjonsgruppe IV (HSK) (Standing Army)
Spesialperasjonsgruppe V (HSK) (Standing Army)
Spesialperasjonsgruppe VI (HSK) (Standing Army)
Spesialperasjonsgruppe VII (HSK) (Standing Army)
Spesialperasjonsgruppe VIII (HSK) (Standing Army)
Spesialperasjonsgruppe IX (HSK) (Army Reserve)
Spesialperasjonsgruppe X (HSK) (Army Reserve)

Hærens Jegerkommando (HJK)
In addition to HSK, the Army considers its Ranger units to be Special Operations Forces capable, and thus includes them among the Special Operations Forces, called the Army Ranger Command (Cottish: Hærens Jegerkommando, HJK). HJK is built around a number of regiments consisting of rapidly-deployable light infantry special operations battalions with specialized skills that enable them to perform a variety of special operations missions. These missions include but are not limited to airborne, air assault, and direct action operations, raids, infiltration and exfiltration by air, land or sea in addition to airfield seizure, recovery of personnel and special equipment, and support of general purpose forces (GPF). Each of the Regiment's three line battalions rotates as the "Ranger Ready Force". This battalion is at a constant readiness to deploy and is expected to be able to respond anywhere in the world within 18 hours. Ranger units can be distinguished from regular units by the sand-coloured beret and the "JEGER" tab they are authorized to wear.

HJK is organized into six Regiments (five standing, one reserve). Each Regiment consists of three line battalions and a support battalion,

19. Jegerregiment (HJK) (Standing Army)
20. Jegerregiment (HJK) (Standing Army)
21. Jegerregiment (HJK) (Standing Army)
22. Jegerregiment (HJK) (Standing Army)
23. Jegerregiment (HJK) (Standing Army)
24. Jegerregiment (HJK) (Army Reserve)

Hærens Spesialoperasjonsflyvekommando (HSFK)
The Army Aviation provides a number of squadrons to the Army Special Operations Command in what is known as the Army Special Operations Aviation (Cottish: Hærens Spesialoperasjonsflyvekommando, HSFK). HSFK draws on the best aviators and support soldiers in the Army and specialized in low-level, night operations. The unique mission of the units requires that all members be three time volunteers (volunteering for extended service after National Service with the Army, volunteering for Airborne training, and volunteering for service with the HSFK.

HSFK are organized into four Army Aviation Battalions (three standing, one reserve).

42. Hærflyvebataljon (HSFK) (Standing Army)
43. Hærflyvebataljon (HSFK) (Standing Army)
44. Hærflyvebataljon (HSFK) (Standing Army)
45. Hærflyvebataljon (HSFK) (Army Reserve)

Naval Special Forces
The Naval Special Operations Command is the command charged with overseeing the various Special Operations Forces (SOF) of the Royal Cottish Navy. The command is part of the Special Operations Command (Cottish: Spesialoperasjonskommandoen, SOKDA); a larger command overseeing all the different SOF Commands of each branch of the Cottish military.

Marinens Jegerkommando (MJK)
The Naval Ranger Command (Cottish: Marinens Jegerkommando), or MJK for short, is one of the world's finest and most professional maritime special forces units. Specializing in maritime operations, MJK was established from the cadre of the old Frogman Corps in 1954. MJK is employed in many kinds of operations, such as unconventional warfare, guerilla warfare, special reconnaissance, recovery or protection of ships and oil installations, various counter-terrorism missions, hostage rescue and direct action (which includes sabotage, raids, kidnapping and specific enemy assassinations).

Selection to MJK is reported to be the most demanding military training course in the Armed Forces of the Realm of Cotland with a reported pass rate of less than 10%. It is a test of strength, endurance, and resolve over among others the Dovre mountains in Norway, and in the jungles of South America, taking around 6 months to complete. Selection is held twice a year regardless of conditions. Personnel must have served for at least four years, obtained at the very least the rank of Petty Officer 3rd Class (OR-4) or Lieutenant (OF-2), and not exceeding 32 years of age, as well as sign the Official Secrets Act 1983 before beginning Selection. Candidates are limited to a maximum of two attempts with personnel failing being Returned to Unit. After passing Selection, the MSK Selectee undergo a eighteen-month training course, during which the Selectee learn the necessary skills of the trade. Upon successful completion of the training course, the Selectee is offered a contract with MSK, which binds the Selectee to serve in MSK for a minimum period of seven years.

MJK is organized into five Special Action Groups, four active and one reserve. Each Group consists of a Headquarters & Support Squadron and four Operational Sabre Squadrons.

Spesialaktivitetsgruppe I (MJK)
Spesialaktivitetsgruppe II (MJK)
Spesialaktivitetsgruppe III (MJK)
Spesialaktivitetsgruppe IV (MJK)
Spesialaktivitetsgruppe V (MJK)

Spesialbåttjenesten (SBT)
The Special Boat Service (Cottish: Spesialbåttjenesten), or SBT for short, is a maritime special operations force.

The exclusive mission of SBT operators is to expertly drive and provide large-caliber gunfire support on specialized high-tech, high-speed, and low-profile Surface Combatant Craft to secretly infiltrate and exfiltrate MJK operators on Special Operations missions worldwide. These missions include direct action on land, sea, coastline or rivers (such as strikes, captures, and ship take downs by boarding parties), special reconnaissance, coastal patrol and interdiction of suspect ships and surface craft, counter-terrorism operations, riverine warfare, deception operations, search and rescue operations, and foreign internal defense missions. Although MJK and SBT undergo different training programs, both are focused on special operations in maritime environments. The SBT program includes extensive training on craft and weapons tactics, techniques, and procedures. Like MJK, SBT must show physical fitness, possess strong motivation, be combat focused, and maintain responsiveness in high stress situations.

SBT operates variants of the outstanding Stridsbåt-90, Stridsbåt-98 and Goldfish combat boats.

SBT is organized into five Special Boat Squadrons, four active and one reserve, which support the five MJK Special Action Groups.

Spesialbåtskvadron I (SBT)
Spesialbåtskvadron II (SBT)
Spesialbåtskvadron III (SBT)
Spesialbåtskvadron IV (SBT)
Spesialbåtskvadron V (SBT)

Air Force Special Forces
The Air Force Special Operations Command is the command charged with overseeing the various Special Operations Forces (SOF) of the Royal Cottish Air Force. The command is part of the Special Operations Command (Cottish: Spesialoperasjonskommandoen, SOKDA); a larger command overseeing all the different SOF Commands of each branch of the Cottish military.

Spesialoperasjonsving (Special Operations Wing)
The Air Force Special Operations Command is divided into a number of Spesialoperasjonsvinger (Special Operations Wings), which are tasked with conducting global special operations missions ranging from precision application of firepower to infiltration, aviation foreign internal defense, exfiltration, resupply and refueling of SOF operational elements.

For this purpose, the SOW' are equipped with a number of modified aircraft to carry out this mission. Examples include the MC-130 Hercules variants, AC-130 gunship variants, and MV-22 Osprey, MH-47 Chinook and MH-60 Pave Hawk helicopters.

Ranks of the Royal Cottish Armed Forces

The following is a list of ranks currently in use by the Armed Forces of the Realm of Cotland. They are divided into two types, Soldatgrad (Enlisted Rank) and Offisersgrad (Officer Rank). The Officer Ranks have gone through extensive training, and are formally commissioned into the Armed Forces by His Majesty the King through his duly appointed representatives.

In the Armed Forces of the Realm of Cotland, non-commissioned officers are considered to consist of ranks from OR5 to OR9, and officer ranks are considered to consist of ranks from OF1 to OF9. Non-commissioned officers are awarded their rank through attending the respective branch's Non-Commissioned Officer's School, while officers are awarded their rank after attending the respective branch's Academies.

The ranks represent the four different types of personnel employed by the Armed Forces of the Realm of Cotland. There is the Operative Type, which are the front-line troops, sailors and aviators who do the actual fighting (both enlisted, non-commissioned and junior commissioned officers); there is the Competence Type, which include instructors, mechanics, trainers, basically the knowledge pool of the Armed Forces (primarily non-commissioned officers and some officers); then there is the Control Type, which is responsible for managing the Armed Forces (senior non-commissioned and commissioned officers); and last, but not least, there is the Support Type, which include the logistics personnel who are critical for all other types to succeed in their missions (enlisted, non-commissioned and some commissioned officers).

Conscription in Cotland

The Armed Forces of the Realm of Cotland relies on conscription of the young adult populace to bolster its ranks. Annually, approximately 5,500,000 men reach military age, at present 18 years of age as defined in the Conscription Act 1994. In Cottish, this is called Verneplikt (literarily translates to Safeguard Duty, commonly translated in English to National Service), and derives its legality from Article 119 of the Constitution of the Realm of Cotland 1814, which states that "§ 119 - Every Citizen of the Realm is equally required to, for a certain period of time, to safeguard his Country, regardless of birth, status or fortune."

The first real encounter a Cot has with the Armed Forces aside from the various visits to local military garrisons and the military-supported mandatory classes in the Cottish school (marksmanship, orientation, fieldcraft, et cetera) occurs the year a Cot turns 17, when he or she receives a summons to appear before a Selection Board. These Selection Boards, found in most all major cities and towns where there is a military garrison, will assess the Cot for military service through interviews, medical and cognitive tests.

Military National Service

If the Cot is deemed fit for military service, he or she will be inducted into the Armed Forces the year he or she turns 19, or after the Cot has finished secondary education. Exceptions from military service may be granted if sufficiently good cause is present. Such causes could be medical conditions or conscientious objection. Those who are deemed fit to serve but who are not needed in the Armed Forces, such as conscientious objectors, undergo a twenty-four month National Service period in a civilian institution, such as kindergartens or schools, hospitals, retirement homes, charitable organization, et cetera instead. Refusing to appear before the Selection Board or reporting to the military is considered a felony in Cotland, and is punishable by up to four years imprisonment.

National Service remains mandatory for both sexes, and is considered a cornerstone in maintaining the nation and building character. National Service is also seen upon as a safeguard of democracy by Cotland, as it is less likely for conscripts to rebel and train their weapons on people who very well could be family members or friends than it is for full-time professional soldiers. Annually, the Armed Forces summon 3.2 million men and women to barracks for military service. Of these, roughly 500,000 are found to be unsuitable for military service and transferred to the Civilian National Service programme. Typically, the female percentage of conscripts make up appoximately 11.2% (~359,000) of the annual conscript batch (FY 2014). As of 1998, females have the same service options and opportunities as males when the ban on females in the Airborne Forces was lifted.

After receiving orders summoning them to military service, typically either in January and July, depending on when the Cot was born (typically, the July induction is the largest of the two, taking advantage of the end of the school year in mid-June), the young Cot reports to the designated Recuit Training Depot. These are located throughout the Realm, in each region, and are organized according to Armed Branch (Army, Navy, Air Force). At the Recruit Training Depot, the young Cot is processed through a series of administrative and medical tests, determining the eligability of the Cot to conduct National Service. Unless there are pressing reasons barring the Cot from carrying out National Service, such as debilitating medical condition, severe allergies, or having serious conscientious convictions against military service, the young Cot is inducted into the Armed Forces and start the Basic Military Training programme. Over the course of ten weeks, the Cottish conscript is taught the military basics, transforming them from civilian to soldier. Focus is placed on developing physical and mental conditions, and teaching basic fieldcraft, military discpline, marksmanship, life-saving medicine, and other essensial basic military crafts.

Upon successful completion of Basic Military Training, the conscript is promoted to the first soldier rank and transferred to advanced military training, where they will learn the specific trade they will specialize in for the rest of their military career. This training lasts between ten and fifty weeks, depending on the specialization and trade, before the conscript is transferred to the units they will serve in for the remainder of their National Service. In addition to the military skills they are taught, the soldiers are also taught skillsets that can be used in civilian life.

The currently authorized National Service period lasts twenty-four months (except for certain types of forces, such as Airborne and Marine forces), after which the conscript is discharged into the reserves where he or she will remain until age 46. Conscripts that have completed their National Service relatively recently remain with the Line Forces (Cottish: Linjen) until age thirty-five, after which they are transferred to the Territorial Forces (Cottish: Landvernet) which consists of personell between age thirty-five and forty-six. Additionally, those who receive peacetime deferments but remain eligable for call-up in the event of war are organized into the third type, the War-Only Reserve (Cottish: Landstormen). Legally, the Government is only authorized to deploy Line Forces outside the Territory of the Realm of Cotland, reserving the Territorial Forces for service within the Realm's borders except with the express and explicit permission of Parliament.

As of FY2015, 2.62 million young Cots are annually inducted to the Armed Forces and distributed to the branches roughly as follows:

Royal Cottish Army ~1,150,000 (excluding Airborne Forces)
- Airborne Forces ~200,000
Royal Cottish Navy 380,000 (excluding Royal Marine Corps)
- Royal Marine Corps 130,000
Royal Cottish Air Force ~369,000 (excluding Strategic Rocket Forces)
- Strategic Rocket Forces ~90,000
Joint Special Operations Command ~40,000
Various joint units (Headquarters, Logistics Centres, etc): ~300,000

Civilian National Service

5.5 million Cots reach military age annually and thus are required to conduct National Service. However, as the Armed Forces only require approximately 2.6 million annually to maintain its authorized strength, the remaining 2.9 million Cots are transferred to the civilian variant of National Service. Primarily intended as an alternative for conscientious objectors, in recent years the Armed Forces have downsized its organization considerably, while the birth rates have remained high, giving a large surplus of the year classes after the Armed Forces have had their fill. This means that those who apply not to carry out military service generally have their applications authorized and are transferred to the civilian National Service pool.

Civilian National Service takes many forms, but the most common employers of Civilian National Service are listed below:

Civil Defence Bureau
The largest employer of National Servicemembers is the Civil Defence Bureau, which is tasked with supporting police, fire departments, health care or other public agencies in case of larger incidents which those departments don't have the manpower to handle. Typically, this means that the Civil Defence is called out in case of natural disasters, major fires, search and rescue missions, and other similar tasks. The Civil Defence Bureau is also responsible for maintaining the vast network of public air raid shelters, and for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) decontamination efforts. Approximately one million youths are inducted into the CDB annually.

Labor Service
Most young Cots carry out their National Service with the Labor Service, with many serving their local communities, being tasked with serving as assistant teachers in schools and kindergartens, care and aid workers within retirement homes or resting homes for the infirm, maintenance, janitorial or cleaning duties in public buildings, postal workers, parks services, et cetera. Quite a few are also employed as unskilled labor on governmental construction projects, building roads, railroads, dams, parks, public buildings and facilities. 1.6 million Cots are inducted into the Labor Service annually.

Cottish Red Cross
A number of youths are allowed to carry out their National Service with the Cottish Red Cross, which is a national organization affiliated with the International Committee of the Red Cross. The organization provides a variety of humanitarian services, including care for old and the infirm, outdoor rescue, and international work. Approximately 300,000 Cots carry out their National Service with the Cottish Red Cross every year.

The Ten Laws of War

#1: Attack only military targets. Apart from armed forces, military targets are also objects that contribute an effective contribution to military operations, and that under the circumstances give a clear military advantage (legal military targets).

- Comment: Uniformed members of the armed forces, except medical personnel and clerical personell, can participate in combat and can be attacked. Those who bear their arms openly during hostilities or participates actively in hostilities, but do not wear uniforms, are also legal military targets, but do not enjoy protection upon capture under the Laws of War and can be executed as illegal combatants.

#2: You will not carry out random attacks, or attacks that can lead to greater collateral damage/loss to civilian personell/objects than what the specific and direct military advantage under the circumstances dictate.
#3: You will not use civilian personnel as shield or cover for own military operations, but will respect and as far as possible protect them.
#4: You will respect private property. Looting is forbidden.

- Comment: Save for legitimate public requisitions, private property is not to be confiscated or commandeered, damaged or destroyed unless it is a military necessity. If such a military necessity exists, there will- if the circumstances permit it - be given sufficient warning that can limit such damaging effects.

#5: You will not attack medical or clerical personnel, or combat-ineffective sick, wounded, shipwrecked, or personnel escaping from destroyed aircraft, but respect and protect them.

- Comment: Terms for protection is that the sick and wounded don't continue the fight. For example, a severely wounded machine gunner who continues to fire is still a legitimate target.
- Terms for the protection of medical personnel, transports and installations is that they don't abuse their protected status, for example if the enemy have an artillery observation post on the roof of a hospital or transports ammunition in a marked ambulance. These can however not be attacked on suspicion only, and only after warning has been given if possible. Marked medical installations are to be kept seperate from combatant units.
- By shipwrecked we mean survivors who are rescuing themselves from a distressed or burning craft at sea or in the air. Also for these the requirement is that they clearly have given up all resistance. Paratroopers who are leaping out of a burning aircraft, must clearly have signalled that they are surrendering in order to be protected.
- Shipwrecked at sea will be rescued.

#6: Personnel, transports and objects that are marked with internationally recognized signs of protection are not to be attacked, but are to be respected and protected.
#7: You can fight the enemy by using war tactics (disinformation, camouflage, etc). Abuse of protected signs and faking own status as a protected person is forbidden.

- Comment: Faking that you are a civilian, wounded, medical personnel, surrendered soldier, or waving a white flag, and then open fire on the enemy, is strictly prohibited as betrayal.

#8: Legitimate enemies (see #1) who surrender or who are otherwise captured, are to be treated humanely and protected. They will be disarmed and surrendered to superiors.
#9: As a prisoner of war, you are entitled to keep your personal protection gear, clothing, and uniform, identity papers and dogtags, as well as personal effects. You will only state name, rank and date of birth.
#10: Do your best to prevent violations of the laws of war. Do not obey orders that violate these rules. Report infractions to your superiors.

- Comment: The Laws of War are rules for behavior in combat. Serious violations of the Laws of War will make you a War Criminal. A War Criminal is a person who have executed prisoners of war without due process, raped civilians, blown up churches, attacked hospitals, et cetera - in other words committed heinous actions that any civilized person will find appalling. War Crimes are severely punished, often with the death penalty.
- Remember that you are held personally responsible for your actions. Therefore, you shall not obey orders that violate the Laws of War.
- In war, refusing an order can naturally spawn fatal consequences, even the loss of the lives of your own comrades as well as not carrying out military missions. However, your superiors may possess information that make a seemingly illegal action just; an innocently looking barn can conceal several enemy combat vehicles.
- Article 24 of the Military Criminal Code states that "The Subordinate following Orders issued by Superiors will not be punished, unless the Subordinate is clearly exceeding the Order, or must have realized that He in the execution of the Order contribute to an Illegal Action."

Royal Cottish Marine Corps

The Royal Cottish Marine Corps (RCMC, Det Kongelige Cottiske Marinekorps) is the marine corps and amphibious infantry of the Realm of Cotland, and alongside the Royal Navy (Den Kongelige Marine) and the Royal Coastal Artillery (Det Kongelige Kystartilleri) form the naval service of Cotland. The Royal Marines are a maritime-focused, amphibious, highly specialised light infantry force of commandos capable of deploying at short notice in support of the Cottish Government's military and diplomatic objectives overseas and are optimised for operational situations requiring highly manoeuvreable forces.

Personnel

The Royal Marines have a regular manpower of 250,000 personnel, including training and support elements. In addition the Royal Marines have a reserve force of 80,000 personnel, giving a total of 330,000 Royal Marines. This makes the Royal Marines a relatively small, but highly trained and experienced force.

Like the other branches of the Armed Forces of the Realm of Cotland, the Royal Marines relies heavily upon conscripts to fill out its billets. However, the Royal Marines accept only conscripts who have volunteered, something which helps maintain the service's image as an elite service. The Royal Marines recruits are put through a sixteen-week basic training period and a twenty-week advanced training period before the Marines are assigned to a operational unit, giving the Royal Marines a training period which is significantly longer than that of the other branches of the Armed Forces. As a result of this longer training period, the National Service period for the Royal Marines lasts thirty months instead of the regular twenty-four months.

Organization

The Royal Marines are organized into eight Marine Divisions of roughly 14,000 personnel, each of which is capable of conducting offensive operations against hostile shores in close support with the Royal Navy. The divisions each consist of three Regimental Combat Teams and an Artillery Regiment, as well as a headquarters unit with support units and special reconnaissance elements. Of these eight divisions, six are active-service units and along with the Army's Parachute Divisions form the principal Rapid Reaction Force of the Realm of Cotland. The other two divisions are reserve formations, which can be mobilized and prepared for action in 120 hours.

In addition to these units, there are a number of seperate regiments and battalions forming coastal defence units in coastal regions and island territories of Cotland, a Recuit Training Regiment at Riihimäki, Finland which is responsible for providing new troops for the Royal Marines; the Fleet Protection Group which is responsible for the base defence of the major naval stations; and a number of smaller support units spread around Cotland.

CHARLOTTE class Destroyer

Official Image

The CHARLOTTE-class (also known as the C-class) started their lives as Nerotikan UDALOY-I-class destroyers, having been laid down at Naval Shipyard No.7 in occupied Nenetsia in early 2001 as a series of 50 destroyers. In 2003, when Cotland reclaimed Nenetisa by force, Naval Shipyard No.7 was captured intact, and along with it the destroyers, which were from 21% to 62% completed at the time of capture. After hovering in limbo for two years while the Admiralty tried to figure out what to do with the hulls, it was finally decided to complete some of the vessels and commission the modified destroyers into the Royal Cottish Navy. A number of design changes were made, made possible thanks to the hulls being mostly empty. Vast use of off-the-shelf components for the destroyers, named the CHARLOTTE-class, was implemented, thus driving down cost, and the internal outfitting was completed to Cottish standard, which was far greater than the original standards. For example, the CHARLOTTE-class is the first UDALOY-derivative to feature comfortable crew accomodations, crew showers, and continuous hot water availability. Armament-wise, the CHARLOTTE-class is armed with a variety of weaponry, with the focus being on anti-submarine and anti-shipping warfare, as represented by the two Seahawk helicopters carried in the aft hangar, and the eight heavy anti-shipping missiles carried in the two large quad launchers straddling the fo'c'stle, which along with the 130MM dual-purpose cannon gives the CHARLOTTE-class its unique look and sets it apart from the UDALOY-class.
