Do certain units of your military have stronger training?

by **Omarios** » Fri Jan 24, 2014 1:08 pm

In Omarios, certain units have much stronger training than the general military, this includes special forces, snipers etc..

The questions are:
Do certain units of you military/police get stronger training, or are they all the same?
Is it via qualification, or anybody can apply?
How many weeks do the soldiers train, and are certain weeks harder?
Does it require certain measurements for the chosen/applicant to have, or they accept every one?
Can the general public know about the type of training, and what place they train at?
Do they take any type of stimulant?
Are they respected or are they treated like every other soldier?
If your military snipers get harder training, why is that?
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Do certain units of you military/police get stronger training, or are they all the same?Some units get stronger training, some even get near-impossible training to see the endurance of the soldier.
Is it via qualification, or anybody can apply?Qualification of course, the chosen individual must already be in the military, and the military ensures that the special forces are of top class.
How many weeks do the soldiers train, and are certain weeks harder?The soldier trains from 15 to 25 weeks, but don't be fooled, as the soldier progresses the weeks get harder, the last 4 weeks of training are nearly impossible to complete.
Does it require certain measurements for the chosen/applicant to have, or they accept every one?The soldier needs to be in perfect shape to be chosen.
Can the general public know about the type of training, and what place they train at?Of course not.
Do they take any type of stimulant?All soldiers are trained naturally, but are trained for extremely long periods of time, that sometimes the public might think that they are using stimulants.
Are they respected or are they treated like every other soldier?They are respected and are considered as role models by some soldiers, they are considered the "prestige" of the military.
If your military snipers get harder training, why is that?Snipers are the soldiers that need to endure the most, excluding the special forces, they have harder training to train in difficult situations as in getting spotted, lost in the woods/desert, snipers also need to have perfect eyesight and non-shaking hands, while also knowing how handle extremely difficult and frustrating situations.

Do certain units of you military/police get stronger training, or are they all the same?
Standard Army Infantry have a 10 week training course, Marines slightly longer. However Special Operations and Counter Terror unit candidates are put though on a tougher course.

Is it via qualification, or anybody can apply?
Applications very rarely make the cut, instead troops can be referred by commanding officers for a promotion, soldiers who have performed beyond their call of duty and those who have shown great promise are usually the ones to be referred.

How many weeks do the soldiers train, and are certain weeks harder?
Its different dependent on the branch, but on average its a 4-5 month course that gradually inclines in difficulty.

Does it require certain measurements for the chosen/applicant to have, or they accept every one?
Most soldiers are already fighting fit, the better built you are, the more chance you have

Can the general public know about the type of training, and what place they train at?
The types of training and training practices are well known, however locations are normally undisclosed.

Do they take any type of stimulant?
No, use of performance enhancing drugs are prohibited

Are they respected or are they treated like every other soldier?
They are normally regarded as the best of the best, by other soldiers and the public alike.

Do certain units of you military/police get stronger training, or are they all the same?

We generally do not use the measure of 'stronger' to describe training. Most forces, including the armed forces and police forces, get a basic training, and then some more specific to their duties.

Is it via qualification, or anybody can apply?

Specialized training is open only to those already registered to take up the job for which the specialized training is necessary.

How many weeks do the soldiers train, and are certain weeks harder?

Again, this differs. For example, the First Division of the Chinese Army has a jogging programme for its soldiers in the mornings. For the Presidential Residence Police (a 7-member group of experienced policemen who patrol the premises and perimeter of the President's residence day and night), this involves becoming familiar with the surroundings and rapid reaction should some disaster happen to the President.

~~Does it require certain measurements for the chosen/applicant to have, or they accept every one?~~

Can the general public know about the type of training, and what place they train at?

If the President sees no reason to secret this information, then it is publicly available.

Do they take any type of stimulant?

Not unless prescribed by a physician.

Are they respected or are they treated like every other soldier?

All soldiers within the same rank are of equal dignity and state.

If your military snipers get harder training, why is that?

They do not.

Do certain units of you military/police get stronger training, or are they all the same?
There is only one military unit that is treated harder and more roughly than the rest and, unsurprisingly, they are regarded as the elites. The unit's official title is only known to those who are part of it, but they are colloquially known as the Mekadoni.

Is it via qualification, or anybody can apply?
Technically, application is open to everybody who can get their immediate commanding officer to sign off on the application. In practice, application requires the permission of a soldier at least Vysoki Nachol rank, and even they are likely to refer the request up the chain of command. Before application is approved, potential soldiers are forced to undergo a one-week period of intensive training, with intensive being the operative word - recruits are forced to experience extreme sleep deprivation while being pushed to their physical limit. If a potential recruit passes the assessment - which is not the same thing as "succeeds", or even "stays conscious" - then they are permitted to go further.

How many weeks do the soldiers train, and are certain weeks harder?
The initial period of Mekadoni training is one year, during which time recruits are expected to become expert in every possible facet a soldier may be called upon to use. This includes marksmanship, unarmed combat against several opponents simultaneously, dealing with extreme climates, training designed for endurance and mental fortitude, and surveillance and foreign languages among many others. No one week is notable for being particularly hard, mostly because it all is.

Does it require certain measurements for the chosen/applicant to have, or they accept every one?
It requires merely that the recruit can live up to the extreme physical requirements. No other benchmarks are needed.

Can the general public know about the type of training, and what place they train at?
The general public are aware of the basics of Mekadoni training, but not the specifics or the locations. It is known that a large portion of the training takes place at the Nulevnizh military base outside Petrosinya, which is reknowned for being one of the coldest and most inhospitable places in the entire nation.

Do they take any type of stimulant?
No. In fact, the opposite is sometimes true - during specific exercises, the recruits are given depressants, most commonly alcohol, and then forced to complete their normal training regime. The reason alcohol is most often chosen is an extension of the principle "in vino veritas" - if a soldier can hold up physically and mentally and still keep his or her head in the game while inebriated, they are most likely true Mekadoni material.

Are they respected or are they treated like every other soldier?
Officially, they are treated as any other soldier of the same rank. Unofficially, they are treated with the awe and the respect they deserve. However, as anybody who graduates the program successfully is promoted and removed permanently from their previous unit, Mekadoni do not often mix with common soldiers unless on joint operations.

If your military snipers get harder training, why is that?
The Lzher military prides itself on the skill of it's marksmen and holds them to accordingly higher standards. Mekadoni marksmen, in particular, are spoken of in terms reserved mostly for comic books because of their freakish abilities with the rifle.

Do certain units of you military/police get stronger training, or are they all the same?

There is a group called the Royal Guard who receive specific training as well as skill assessments that goes beyond the average police or solider.

Is it via qualification, or anybody can apply?

To become a Royal Guard you must have been in the military for at least nine years, participated in four military based missions, and able to control all of your vampiric abilities. These include compulsion, fast and efficient bat transformation, and capable of using 100% of your speed and senses.

How many weeks do the soldiers train, and are certain weeks harder?

Royal Guard trainees go through a two year course that gradually increases difficulty near graduation.

Does it require certain measurements for the chosen/applicant to have, or they accept every one?

At this point, any possible benchmarks are usually already met. However, you must be able to fly quickly and your bat flying speeds are usually tested several times during training.

Can the general public know about the type of training, and what place they train at?

The general public only know that the Royal Guard exists. Everything else (including the training process and location) is strictly classified.

Do they take any type of stimulant?

Royal Guards are given human blood in order to be at their best and use the most of their abilities.

Are they respected or are they treated like every other soldier?

Royal Guards are highly respected and seen as the highest rank a non-royal person of society can reach. Even celebrities don't have as much clout as a Royal Guard.

If your military snipers get harder training, why is that?

The Royal Guards are trained snipers as well considering it's a skill they must have in order to graduate training.

Do certain units of your military/police get stronger training, or are they all the same?
All Mechanocracy military and police units receive pretty tough training in comparison to those of other countries - but to form the most efficient fighting force humanity has ever seen, they need to. However, the Spetsnaz Regiment, dedicated only for special operations in the Old World, has been reformed into a supremely powerful fighting force, serving on the front line as well as in the security detail of the highest ranking officials.

Is it via qualification, or anybody can apply?
Spetsnaz training requires qualifications to enter, but otherwise anybody can apply to join the military. In fact, military training is mandatory, since the Mechanocracy enforces conscription.

How many weeks do the soldiers train, and are certain weeks harder?
Soldiers usually spend eight months in training to hone their skills to perfection. The Spetsnaz are expected to complete their training in just two, since their regimen is much tougher.

Does it require certain measurements for the chosen/applicant to have, or they accept every one?
Spetsnaz operatives are handpicked by the top generals in the army.

Can the general public know about the type of training, and what place they train at?
Oh yes, the Spetsnaz training camp is located in the Volkhov district of Sunikagrad, in the public eye.

Do they take any type of stimulant?
Unless you count combat stimulants to aid in battle, then no.

Are they respected or are they treated like every other soldier?
On duty, Spetsnaz are treated as equals to every other soldier. Off duty, however, Spetsnaz are regarded as heroes, and many old operators can be found in Sunikagrad's pubs retelling stories of their daring exploits in Europe or the Middle East.

If your military snipers get harder training, why is that?
Military snipers receive only additional survival training, and are also trained to live in isolation. Mechanocracy snipers can sometimes spend weeks on the prowl without any extra provisions, conserving their meals or living entirely off the land. As a result, the best snipers are leveraged from hunters and woodsmen in the Urals.

by **Albaie** » Fri Jan 24, 2014 2:33 pm

Do certain units of you military/police get stronger training, or are they all the same? The 1st Imperial Legion and Imperial Guard armies receive the highest amount of training with two two hour sessions twice a day every day but Sunday. The professional Imperial Armed Forces then receive a four hour session every other day and again excluding Saturdays but a one hour training session every day. Trainees for the Imperial Armed Forces have to do five hours of training every day to prove their toughness and to sort them into relevant units. Imperial Regional Militia have a four hour training session every Monday and that is all.
Is it via qualification, or anybody can apply? All members of the 1st Imperial Legion and the Imperial Guard are handpicked by the Emperor and a committee consisting of the Field Marshall of the Imperial Guard and the regimental commanding officer of the unit needing more soldiers and the Imperial Recruitment Marshall.
How many weeks do the soldiers train, and are certain weeks harder? In Albaie you train every week.
Does it require certain measurements for the chosen/applicant to have, or they accept every one? Soldiers are judged on every aspect of their life including height and health and their military service.
Can the general public know about the type of training, and what place they train at? Yes many people go to the Imperial Palace for the chance to watch the 1st Imperial Legion and the Imperial Guard train and the Imperial Palace Staff sell tickets for these events.
Do they take any type of stimulant? No not at all stimulants would go against Albaie's theory that great soldiers are gifts from God.
Are they respected or are they treated like every other soldier? 1st Imperial Legion and the Imperial Guard are treated like minor nobles by most people due to the fact many are already knights or are made knights during their service.
If your military snipers get harder training, why is that? Yes soldiers who are picked for sharpshooting in their units receive an extra hour training after every session.

Do certain units of you military~~/police~~ get stronger training, or are they all the same?
Everybody goes through a basic 6-week training course, known as Stage 1. Then dependant on your chosen specialization you go on to do a Stage 2 course of between 10 and 18 weeks. Then some specializations have a Stage 3 of between 6 and 8 weeks.
Example a: (Air Assault Infantry: 6 week basic > 10 week infantry combat course > 8 week air assault course)
Example b: (Chef: 6 week basic > 18 week Chef course)

Special Forces selection consists of a 30 week training course. Potential candidates must have at least 3 years previous service in either regular or reserve forces to be considered.

Is it via qualification, or anybody can apply?
We operate a professional volunteer military. Anybody may apply however you must pass entry exams.

How many weeks do the soldiers train, and are certain weeks harder? As above.

Does it require certain measurements for the chosen/applicant to have, or they accept every one? As above.

by **Kaitjan** » Fri Jan 24, 2014 4:06 pm

Do certain units of you military/police get stronger training, or are they all the same? Some units have harder training, but they are usually designated for special forms of fighting. To example alpine troops and jungle troops have longer training due to the harsh environments they are expected to fight in.

Is it via qualification, or anybody can apply? All military branches are pretty much powered by conscripted soldiers. Elite units, Guards and some units with special designation are partly or entirely made up out of professionals.

How many weeks do the soldiers train, and are certain weeks harder?The average soldier is conscripted for 3 years. In peace time a soldier is considered capable of battle after 6 months, in war fresh conscripts can be sent to battle after a week or two. The 3 years of military service is spent on maintaining equipment, patrolling and occasional training sessions and expeditions. Alpine troops, jungle troops and specialized units have longer training.

Does it require certain measurements for the chosen/applicant to have, or they accept every one?All healthy men aged 18 - 40 can be conscripted. Almost all men do at some point in their lives come in contact with the army. Alpine troops, jungle troops and specialized units usually have a bit different requirements. The men that are sent to or join them by own will need to have a higher standard of physical strength and intelligence than the common soldier.

Can the general public know about the type of training, and what place they train at? Special forces and units are trained in secret, but how the common soldier trains is no secret.

Do they take any type of stimulant? No stimulants are used. And if they are used they would not be revealed to the broad public.

Are they respected or are they treated like every other soldier? Special forces, Specialized troops, alpine troops and jungle troops are usually held in high regard by the common soldier.

If your military snipers get harder training, why is that? Snipers do not get harder training than other soldiers. Gifted marksmen are usually volunteers and get additional training, but It should not be considered harder than most other programs.

by **Luepola** » Fri Jan 24, 2014 6:26 pm

Do certain units of you military/police get stronger training, or are they all the same? More elite units and units that are deployed in combat more often have more intense training. In most other cases, the strength/depth of the training is proportional to the complexity of the field; a spotter in a sniper team or the pilot of an attack helicopter will obviously have to go through more training than your average grunt.
Is it via qualification, or anybody can apply? Anyone of age can apply for basic training; those who pass basic training will automatically be transferred into a Service Field (equivalent of the US military's MOS system) based both on their training results and on demand for personnel in various SFs.
How many weeks do the soldiers train, and are certain weeks harder? Basic Training lasts for 11 weeks.
Does it require certain measurements for the chosen/applicant to have, or they accept every one? Certain requirements must be passed.
Can the general public know about the type of training, and what place they train at? It depends on the unit.
Do they take any type of stimulant? No.
Are they respected or are they treated like every other soldier? No one is treated better or worse than anyone else in the Luepolan armed forces as far as official training goes.
If your military snipers get harder training, why is that? They do. This is because Luepolan marksmen who have the skills and abilities that a sniper requires must also be capable of far more than the average infantryman or Designated Marksman.

UPT:

Do certain units of you military/police get stronger training, or are they all the same? Absolutely it varies by unit. Among the most demanding are the subterrenians and the paratroopers.
Is it via qualification, or anybody can apply? You need to have the requisite personal abilities for any unit, for example subterrenians virtually need to be fire types, Smeargle units take only Smeargle, and so on.
How many weeks do the soldiers train, and are certain weeks harder? Varies by unit. Training never really ends of course.
Does it require certain measurements for the chosen/applicant to have, or they accept every one? See above. Generally one's size and weight don't matter so long as one meets the performance requirements.
Can the general public know about the type of training, and what place they train at? For most units yes. The subterrenians are quite secretive, and the paras often train in closed military areas of space.
Do they take any type of stimulant? No.
Are they respected or are they treated like every other soldier? The top units tend to be recognised as such.
If your military snipers get harder training, why is that? Sniping's a job for spacecraft...

Do certain units of you military/police get stronger training, or are they all the same?
Airborne units, Marine Commandos, Special Operations Force (SOF) and Anti-Terrorist Squads (ATS) get harder and stronger training than any other units.

Is it via qualification, or anybody can apply?
Via qualification of course

How many weeks do the soldiers train, and are certain weeks harder?
Army, Navy, and Marine soldiers have Basic Infantry training for 30 weeks, and Cavalry & Artillery for 26 weeks. Air force soldiers have 26 weeks of Flight training, and 22 weeks of Air Combat training.

Do they take any type of stimulant?
Nope

Are they respected or are they treated like every other soldier?
They are a little bit more respected

If your military snipers get harder training, why is that?
Sniper rifles are heavy to carry on your backs, and you must have a higher shooting accuracy to become a sniper. That's why the training is harder.

Do certain units of you military/police get stronger training, or are they all the same?
The standard period of training begins at birth and early training with physical training to hone their agility , strength and endurance to their maximum potential as well as numerous puzzles and games designed to sharpen their minds. This complements the advanced genetic engineering that every GEM has to increase their abilities far beyond what a baseline human could ever hope to achieve.
The training continues in childhood and adolescence with the cadet corps which trains cadets in all the skills they need to be a well rounded soldier. Training includes tactics , weapons handling, marksmanship, survival in a wide variety of environments both hostile and mundane, basic military engineering to the extent that a platoon can easily construct a hardened shelter from locally available materials or supplies provided if no suitable materials are available. Cadets with exceptional leadership skills will also receive additional officer training. In addition to all the formal training every cadet is also assigned a mentor who is usually a retired soldier for additional one on one training.

The Praetorian guards, our elite unit take this and expand on it to the nth degree.

Is it via qualification, or anybody can apply?

Most citizens transfer directly into the regular armed forces from the cadet corps so basic training is unnecessary. However a basic training course is available for immigrants who wish to serve but unless they are exceptional they will usually be assigned to the auxiliaries which perform rear echelon jobs like garrison duty or logistics.

To become a praetorian a soldier must of completed at least 2 deployments and been awarded at least a distinguished service cross. And then the Praetorian guard commander will contact that soldier and offer them the opportunity to join the Praetorian Guard. It is only in the most exceptional of circumstances that a volunteer who approachs the Praetorian guards will even be considered.

How many weeks do the soldiers train, and are certain weeks harder?
A lifetime, the training never stops. Soldiers are expected to keep themselves physically fit and their skills current.

Does it require certain measurements for the chosen/applicant to have, or they accept every one?
For front-line deployment a mind transfer into one of our military spec GEM bodies is an absolute requirement , we have to face down foes that can effortlessly tear a baseline human to shreds in a fraction of a second so an enhanced body that can match our enemies in every respect is an absolute requirement.

Can the general public know about the type of training, and what place they train at?
Of course they know it is hardly a secret since most of the population are military or retired military.

Do they take any type of stimulant?
A mill spec GEM body requires no addition stimulants to perform at peak levels. However the combat armor issued to baseline human auxiliaries has auto injectors of various medicinal substances to heighten their performance and provide emergency medical aid if they are injured.

Are they respected or are they treated like every other soldier?
Praetorian guards are the best of the best and in our highly meritocratic society they are afforded enormous respect .
Regular soldiers and auxiliaries are technically equal , but the more skilled regular soldiers who have a lifetime of training behind them are generally held in higher esteem , although the auxiliaries are treated with a lot of respect as well , they are often reminded that if they want to join a front-line unit they will need to upgrade to a GEM body.

If your military snipers get harder training, why is that?
2nd year Cadets that demonstrate exceptional marksmanship skills get assigned to a mentor for additional one on one training. They are usually assigned to a sniper or a marksman where the spend several years training with them in their spare time to learn everything that can be taught about this specialty. Most of the mentors are hunt mistresses who are retired snipers / marksmen and rangers so they are easily available to their students. Occasionally a particularly exceptional cadet may be assigned to a praetorian guard sniper who will be their mentor , but since snipers of this caliber are extremely rare this is considered to be a high honor for the cadet.

Do certain units of you military/police get stronger training, or are they all the same?
Of course specialized troops get specialized training. For example, parachutists get parachute training.

Is it via qualification, or anybody can apply?
Anybody can apply but acceptance is based on qualifications.

How many weeks do the soldiers train, and are certain weeks harder?
It depends on the course.

Does it require certain measurements for the chosen/applicant to have, or they accept every one?
Everybody is accepted but they are trained in order of qualification. For example, if you want to become a commando, you're more likely to be accepted if you already have parachute training, either in the military or as a civilian.

Can the general public know about the type of training, and what place they train at?
All of our military facilities are accessible to the public. We have regular Camera Days when foreign spies are welcome. Trying to hide military training from outsiders is just silly. We prefer to show off our strengths.

Do they take any type of stimulant?
Coffee is ubiquitous.

Are they respected or are they treated like every other soldier?
We have no elitism in our armed forces. A rifleman gets the same respect as a sniper or a general.

If your military snipers get harder training, why is that?
We have very few actual "snipers". Each squad has a Designated Marksman but they don't get specialized training. They just tend to be the best marksman in the squad and they get enhanced equipment - e.g. telescopic sights and a bipod. The few actual snipers that we do have choose their own weapons and train as they see fit.
