Project Warfighter: "Tier-One" RP Group, OPEN

[The United Remnants of America]

How am I running one of the larger, more succesful RP groups in II, and I don't into archives and I just into OP app links?

Like. I'm a special kind of stupid. You can teach this kind.

But in all seriousness, I suggest that you put up an archive thread, and I also suggest that you pretty up/streamline the OP a little bit more.

I could put up an archive, but at this point, I think it'd be difficult to get everyone to post their app there.

Any advice on how to pretty it up? I mean, there's plenty of extraneous inside joke stuff that could be removed. Especially since we aren't the same community now that we were, say, when Legion began.

Sure, keep the links in the OP at least until most of the major players transfer over,

I'll give it a metaphorical makeover tomorrow if you want. I'm apping up for something else atm, so I'm short on time.

That's not fair to Emmy, Game, DEN, and most of the veterans who seem to be short on time as of late.

Except for Cong, whom I'm now decently sure is a superhuman being we should probably be worshipping.

[Vancon]

There's a reason that in every RP that I've ever made he is in some way either an official co-op or a co-op in essence, whether or not he wants the spot.

[Empire of Donner land]

So I can choose whether or not to go on the OP? that's neat.

Did I mention thanks for accepting me?

Biography of Outfit: The Eriathan Intelligence Agency has it's own military forces, directly under its command. Each division of these forces are divided in different Battalions, based on the tasks they are to perform. As such, in 1982, the 8th Battalion was founded for reconnaissance operations, assassinations, and sabotage work - often getting dropped deep behind enemy lines to do their job. As can be expected of the reconnaissance and assassination department of an Intelligence Agency, 8th Battalion has always been shrouded by secrets.

8th Battalion draws its people from all divisions of the Eriathan Army and the ERIA itself and is authorized to do so by the highest possible command, the Imperator himself. According to official, highly classified, records the 8th Battalion currently has 208 men and women under its command.

Operators of the Outfit:

• Elena Zykova: Lieutenant Elene Zykova serves as 17th Squad's leader and has done so now for several years, since 2012. Elena, before joining ERIA's 8th Battalion, served in the Imperial Army as a paratrooper, taking part in several successful operations and standing out from the rest for her ability to quickly analyse situations and her reliability. She is well-liked by her fellows, and is almost devoted to the Imperial cause. Elena is known for getting the job done, no matter what is between her and the objective, and under her command the 17th Squad has been nicknamed "the Despoilers", following the destruction of an entire apartment complex taken by rebels the squad was sent to take out.
• Robert Raatmink: Gunnery Sergeant Robert Raatmink serves as 17th Squad's second in command, and as the squad's gunner. Before joining the 8th Battalion he served in the Eriathan Marine Corps, where he took part in several anti-pirate operations. Like the rest of the squad, he is utterly loyal to the Empire.
• Connor Owen: Corporal Connor Owen serves as the squad's demolitions expert and combat engineer, although mainly the former, the man being almost obsessed with explosives. He previously served in the Marine Corps as a Quartermaster, although he had a surprisingly happy mood most of the time. Has been part of the 8th Battalion since 2008, but hasn't received any promotions mainly due to his utter inability to lead.
• Kylah Spencer: Corporal Kylah Spencer is the squad's latest addition, and is the group's sniper. Kylah is an ace shot, and legends tell that her eyes are fashioned out of secret technologies due to her ability to spot small details from far away. As the only other woman, Kylah already is Lieutenant Elena's best friend in the squad and due to this the one she trusts the most. Kylah used to serve in the ground forces before being assigned to 8th Battalion's 8th Squad.
• Dominic Rees: Lance Corporal Dominic Rees is the resident combat medic. Pretty much everybody in the squad likes him, which is a pretty good idea seeing as he's the guy that has to fix them up should they get injured during an operation. He, too, used to serve in the Marine Corps before being assigned to the squad.

RP Experience: You know me, I think..? I'll grab out tons of links if you don't.

Techlevel: Modern Tech to Post Modern Tech, leaning towards the latter.

Biography of Outfit:

New Hayesalia has an extensive history of special forces utilisation. The Hayesalian Union constituted it's first special forces unit in 1896, used in an early direct action and sabotage role. Famous for their use of camouflage and stealth smocks as well as light body armour, the Pathfinders formed the cutting edge of the Union Army. In a battle overseas, a major enemy force of over 10,000 troops were set in a thick line in seige against an allied cities. The war was one stooped in religious woes. An allied force of only 1,200 soldiers was available, including a company of 100 Pathfinders. On a moonless night, the Pathfinders donned their camouflage smocks and conducted a psychological warfare operation. Three temples formed tributes to the enemy's deity had been established and were generally guarded by four soldiers standing in catafalque.

The Pathfinders were forced to crawl through no mans land, under cover of darkness, and were able to kill each of the guards silently. The enemy's religious text stated that temples in war were to be protected and could turn the tide of battle; and that if any attack was doomed to incredible failure the gods themselves would remove the headpieces of the temples. It also explained in graphic detail the injuries that would be sustained by those who watched such a divine act- which the Pathfinders replicated. The Pathfinders then exited, and made their way safely back to their lines.

Word quickly spread between the enemy troops the following morning of the so called divine intervention, and many troops refused to make advances. Eventually forced to by their officers, many lost motivation and unit cohesion and fell to the smaller allied force.

The troops live much in the same way as the rest of the troops, with regular weekend and holiday passes and with a raucous barracks life, although tough stealth training was a regular occurrence. The unit was reformed as the Commandos in 1959, although many Pathfinders became early members of the Special Reconnaissance Service, the Union Army's new Tier 1 force. A history of operations in small wars gave rise to the fame of the SRS. As more special forces units were established, such as the Army Pararescue and the RCTRG, the Commando Divisions became a way for excellent soldiers to be chosen for trainign to become elite soldiers. This multiple layered approach was critical in finding New Hayesalia's best fighters.

The New Hayesalian Army was formed as a new force from the Hayesalian Union Army in the 2009 Amalgamation. The pool of candidates was further enhanced with the Second Amalgamation with Montmaray, with the elite Royal Montmarian Guard contributing troops with expertise in CQB and close protection duties. However, at this point New Hayesalia was operating over a dozen Tier 1 units with a variety of skills. This situation was rectified with the reclassification of all special forces to the second and third tier, and creating a new Tier 1 force, recruiting only the elite of the elite. With nine combat-classified divisions of approximately 120 operators each, the new Battlefield Assault, Strategic, Tactical & Innovative Operations Node became the upper level of performance for any soldier's career. BASTION operators come from all services, and must be capable of performing the specialist duties of other SF units.

BASTION Entry Training is an eight-week course, where mind and body are tested to absolute limits. Candidates are expected to be able to learn anything and remember it well, as well as be able to apply it. In training, textbooks on subjects ranging from nuclear weapons to foreign small arms are issued, the knowledge practically applied in training perhaps hours later. This is in addition to other training, where food and sleep is little and far between, and candidates have no expectations of what will come next. Training is entirely practical in nature: candidates are expected to be fit enough to perform the training with no PT. Training takes place in locations all around New Hayesalia and Paddy O Fernature, from the alpine mountains of Piltomana to the deserts of Quepasa. OPFOR, usually made up of current BASTION soldiers, is often present.

By the end of the course and the following year long extended training, expertise will be held in all aspects of soldiering. All BASTION soldiers will possess expert knowledge in:
-hand to hand fighting, usually in Krav Magra and Judo techniques.
-service and use all New Hayesalian small arms and crew served weapons,
-tactics in all roles of soldiering,
-use and disabling of explosives,
-all insertion methods,
-medical skills comparable to regular Military medics (BASTION medics will hold skills comparable to emergency room personnel and surgeons),
-foreign equipment,
-high skills in driving light transport and all civilian vehicles,
-basic operation of mainline artillery pieces,
-basic understanding of how to fly civilian and some military aircraft,
-at least one language other than English,
-some electronic warfare,
-sabotage,
-personal health and fitness maintenance.

The nine divisions of BASTION are assigned particular focus tasks- such as counter-terrorism and long range patrol. Even within BASTION however, are the elite. These are no more than 120 men- no women yet qualified- in the 14th Division. Named for the 14 alliances that took place at the Battle of Hollow Bastion, the men in this unit were expected to do any mission, any where, any time. While some nation's special forces were considered subject matter experts in fields such as unconventional warfare, or amphibious ops, or airborne entry, the 14th Division of BASTION are the world's subject matter experts on war.

Amongst Tier One, 14 Div BASTION are the experts.

Captain Q

SPECIAL FORCES CAREER PATH:
1 Commando Div
2 Commando Div
Special Reconnaissance Service
7 Div BASTION
14 Div BASTION

Captain Q is an experienced member of the team, with five years service in BASTION. His current posting with the 14th Div began midway through last year, and he has proven himself equal amongst his peers, commanding a team of people qualified for any mission. Captain Q takes great satisfaction in his work, and is one of an elite few BASTION officers, unrivaled in skill.

Sergeant J

SPECIAL FORCES CAREER PATH:
3 Commando Div
2 Commando Div
Army Pararescue
Recapture Tactics Team
1 Division BASTION
14 Division BASTION

Sergeant J, despite his unassuming appearance, is one of New Hayesalia's most overqualified paramedics. Awarded a bravery medal for rescuing and stabilizing three soldiers single handedly in the midst of battle during the Missourian Conflict, J has proven himself one of the Military's most accomplished medics. With a list of paramedical qualifications so long he needs additional logbooks to keep record of them- he notes that he's only missing qualifications that would qualify him to work in space- he is a valuable asset to 14 Division, BASTION.

---

Corporal U

SPECIAL FORCES CAREER PATH:
1 Commando Division
2 Commando Division
Special Reconnaissance Service
5 Division, BASTION
14 Division, BASTION

Corporal U is a BASTION veteran, with three years service in the unit's unconventional warfare specialists. With knowledge of multiple languages and a near encyclopedic knowledge of foreign affairs and cultures, U is a smartass that can justify himself. His intuition is second to none, and his ability as a special forces grenadier is spectacular.

Marine Proficient H

SPECIAL FORCES CAREER PATH:
Marine Reconnaissance Company, NHS Slaver's Lament
Marine Submarine Reconnaissance Company, NHS Whoad
Special Reconnaissance Service
8 Division, BASTION
14 Division BASTION

MARP H is famous in Marine circles. Reputed to have swum from the city of Tagrem to Saman in one cool morning in his combat uniform for no reason other than to meet a woman he'd met online, and returning in the same manner by the afternoon for his duty shift aboard the Slaver's Lament, his endurance is legendary. As well as serving aboard submarines in their Marine Recon Companies- the equivalent to the Army's Commandos- his entry to the SRS is nothing short of exceptional. In one 20km pack march with 20kg weight, candidates must cross the finish line within 3 hours and 15 minutes. MARP H did it in 2 hours, 20 minutes, returning to find the directing staff watching Finding Nemo. His career in the SRS was immediately successful, and joining BASTION was a natural extension of his abilities.

Lance Corporal R

SPECIAL FORCES CAREER PATH:
3 Commando Division
2 Commando Division
CBRN Response Unit
6 Division BASTION
14 Division BASTION

Not a lot of men can deal with long patrols and combat missions in MOPP 4 chemical warfare suits. Fewer still can do it in the combat load of a machine gunner. Lance Corporal R couldn't imagine doing anything else. The CBRN-U is responsible with combatting serious threats in CBRN environments- this means finding and fighting the enemy, even when they use lethal gas to protect their positions. Their unique abilities mean standouts are saught-after by the BASTION staff- Lance Corporal R was one of them. In a short career at BASTION, he has proven himself an expert in all forms of warfighting.

Chief Petty Officer F

SPECIAL FORCES CAREER PATH:
Naval Clearance Diver Team 2
Naval Clearance Diver Team 4
Recapture Tactics Team
8 Division, BASTION
14 Division, BASTION

CPO F, one of the NH Navy's elite clearance divers, has over 10 years in special forces experience. Having graduated the Commando Course, like all SF operators, F went onto the Navy's frogman teams, partaking in missions such as Operation Cutthroat Snake, which involved paddling against strong river currents in the Missourian Conflict and destroying a majority of their brownwater fleet in the early stages of the war. Going onto the Recapture Tactics Team, designed to test the security measures of NH Military bases at the serious threat of injury or death, CPO F applied for and passed BASTION initial training, showing considerable leadership potential in five years in the 8th Division, focused on amphibious roles. He was selected for BASTION's 14th Division due to his exceptional performance, and promoted to 2IC of his squad.

---

Corporal A

SPECIAL FORCES CAREER PATH:
3 Commando Division
2 Commando Division
CIGU
4 Division, BASTION
14 Division, BASTION

A special operator within the Combat Intelligence Gathering Unit, Corporal A, also known as the Hulk, has partaken in a wide variety of secretive missions in a number of countries, often operating with the Foreign Intelligence Directorate and SRS as well as his CIGU colleagues in the gathering of enemy intelligence and tracking of enemy resources and commanders. His position in 4 Division BASTION continued this career, and his stepping into 14 Division means he can combine his expert clandestine skills with other fields of military study.

Guards Corporal K

SPECIAL FORCES CAREER PATH:
3 Commando Division [As a member of the Army]
CAT, Revnami Garrison, RMG Close Protection Detail
CAT, The Veil Guard, RMG
3 Division, BASTION
14 Division, BASTION

The skills required of a sniper in the Royal Montmarian Guard are best compared to the goalkeeper in a number one football team. As a member of the Revnami Garrison of the Royal Montmarian Guard in the Counter-Assault Team, Guards Corporal K was responsible for the safety of figures such as the Deputy Prime Minister and visiting foreign dignitaries in the New Hayesalian capital city. In the CAT team he operated as a counter-sniper, requiring the highest level of precision. As a member of the historic and elite Veil Guard, RMG members are responsible only for protecting the Monarch, the Prime Minister and major visiting foreign dignitaries. Guards Corporal K history as an elite sniper gave rise to trial for the BASTION, and after two bites at the entry testing, he succeeded and became a BASTION sharpshooter.

---

Lance Corporal O

SPECIAL FORCES CAREER PATH:
1 Commando Division
2 Commando Division
Special Reconnaissance Service
2 Division BASTION
14 Division BASTION

A former member of the Mountain Legion and experienced in warfare more often vertical than horizontal, LCPL O is one of BASTION's experts on the subject of mountain and arctic warfare. As the squads rocketman he faces off against tanks and armoured vehicles without hesitation- a statement of fact, tested in actual combat. As the newest member of 14 Division, BASTION, he still has to prove himself to his squadmates, by outdoing anything in his service record.

---

Leading Aircraftsman D

SPECIAL FORCES CAREER PATH:
No. 4 Combat Control Squadron
1st Special Forces EOD Battalion
1 Division, BASTION
14 Division, BASTION

The squad's only Air Force member has his own strong history in the Air Force's special operations community. While most of that community is aircrew, some specialised members occupy the ranks of the Army-administered 100th Special Operations Legion- including the Air Force's Combat Controller squadrons. Without the CCTs, enemy airfields are about as useful as clean highways- with CCTs, they can become hubs for effective air operations. Trained to follow and fight with Commandos, and call in air strikes to assist them, some CCTs ascend even higher to fight with units like the SRS or joint service units, like CIGU or the SRS. For LAC D, a career in EOD made sense- somehow- and he joined their unit, emerging as an unlikely star in training. After proving himself at 1 Div, BASTION, he is not the squad's explosives expert charged with both clearing the way and destroying enemy equipment.
