Report by Colonel Natasha Krell (Lyras):

Based purely upon the per annum budget presented, and ignoring considerations of population or alliances, I do

hereby submit the following report for consideration.

Total sizing:
To ensure a per-soldier parity with more militarised states, and to guarantee forces the technological

sophistication to match one's opponents in the technologically advanced and aggressive/confrontational

political situation that is the norm globally, the preposition is advanced that a total combined army (no

consideration herein being given to naval or fixed-wing air forces, at this stage) of 30 regular divisions be

established. Reserve forces equalling this, at the very least, are strongly encouraged, however equipping them

from extant surplus or gradual forward purchase is greatly preferrable to destroying the national equilibrium

by rampant military overspending.

Of the 30 divisions proposed for the regular army, the suggested break down is advanced as follows, with a

tentative allocation of numbers for future ease of discussion:

Mechanised Infantry: 19 (1st through 12th divisions, then 19th through to 25th)
Armoured: 6 (13th to 18th)
Artillery: 3 (26th, 27th and 28th)
Air Defence: 2 (29th and 30th)

The above force structure further subdivides, per division, on the following basis:

Mechanised Infantry Division
6 Mechanised Infantry battalions
4 Armoured battalions
4 Artillery battalions (mixed)
4 Aviation battalions (attack helicopters)
4 Support battalions

Artillery Battalion
3 Gun batteries (1 x LY516/219, 2 x LY300 OR 3 x LY300)
1 Artillery support battery
BHQ (2xLY219 Cmd variant)

In this context, I feel that artillery divisions deserve special mention. Frequently overlooked, the LY300

Manticore is perhaps the single most frightening piece of equipment on the battlefield anywhere in the world

today. Divisions of Manticores can wipe out fleets, tear gaping holes in a nation's national infrastructure, to

say nothing of the high levels of saturation fire available. Manticore divisions often function as the weapon

of choice for a theatre commander, as they allow him to pick a target, hit it from a thousand kilometres away

(Here Colonel Krell is obviously being expressive. She most certainly knows that the range of a BGM-109 is

2500km, given that she cited that figure herself in her previous report – Field Marshal Ward), and all without

disrupting his or her own operational level manoeuver forces, and completely impervious to any viable form of

counterbattery fire. Manticores in general, and when coupled with cruise missiles in particular, are a highly

effective battlefield technology, and one which I cannot recommend more highly.

With reference to air defence divisions, each individual battalion of air defence forces would be equipped with

the LY471 Skyguard, as per generic layout specified within the LY471 information, however the additional units

and equipment of divisional and brigade level would be held in reserve at each level, controlled by

brigade-organic support battalions and division-organic support brigades, as appropriate. The slightly heavier

load of combatant forces attached to air defence brigades is in acknowledgment of their uniquely important role

within the battlespace, and thus their considerably greater value as targets to hostile forces.

Taken in concert, each division is able to conduct offensive and defensive operations, by day or by night,

regardless of season, weather or terrain, to seek out and close with the enemy and neutralise or destroy them.

Combined arms emphasis enables any given opposing force element to be engaged by the most appropriate friendly

force element, and a preponderence of hardened, mobile ground-launched anti-ship systems will, in and of

itself, go a long way towards securing the Lamonian coastline.

Skyguard needs no further discussion above that which I submitted in my prior report. I am gratified to learn

of Lamonian intentions to purchase the system, and feel personally that they will derive much benefit from it,

either domestically or abroad as part of expeditionary units (The good colonel reacted very enthusiastically, I

am told, to the stated Lamonian intention to purchase the Skyguard. Colonel Krell has long been renowned as one

who loathes civilian casualties, accordingly of all systems covered, Skyguard is perhaps that which she most

strongly advocates – Field Marshal Ward ).

The organic support elements to each division will simplify the logistic stream greatly, enabling Lamonian High

Command, for example, to despatch just the 15th Armoured Division, should they so choose, or (at the higher

end) 1st, 2nd, 8th and 11th Mechanised, 13th and 14th Armoured, 27th Artillery and 30th Air Defence, without

having to seperately detail what would otherwise be a fairly length supply chain. This will also enable each

division to internally support, as far as logistics is concerned, a factor which considerably increases long

term force endurance in operational conditions.

Should the Lamonians wish to talk to me directly, I would be happy to, and if they require or desire specific

training on the weapons featured and the integration required to operate most effectively, then I will detach

Captain Lachlan and his company from my unit here in the Dictatorial Republic of Sumer to assist in that

regard.

As always, should further questions be asked, I will endeavour to respond satisfactorily.

Yours

Colonel Natasha Krell
Commanding Officer

TO: CinC Task Force Epsilon
FROM: Lyran Governmental Trade Department

Sir

Based on the report attached by Colonel Krell, I have prepared a total costing for all equipment specified in

the report. The total purchase is extensive, but, if extended over several years, should not put undue strain

on a defence budget the size of the Free Republic's.

Should the recommendations of Colonel Krell be implemented, I will forward a submission to Executive Command

for financial considerations and a delay of payment.

Regards

Lieutenant-General Aleksandr
Director
Lyran Governmental Trade Department

TO: Free Republic of Lamoni
FROM: CinC Task Force Epsilon

RE: ORBAT

According to previously outlined requests, I hereby submit the report on ORBAT and equipment recommendations,

with my blessing.

This is a basic post to announce the upgrading of the Lamonian Army. I've bought all the equipment from Lyras (who looked over what I could afford, so Star can go yell at him if he doesn't like it); who is letting me pay for it over several NS years. And, I now have the most advanced army in AO.

Do? You have the 'most advanced army' that anyone has actually announced thus far.

As for actual competitive war RPs, when was the last time AO had one of those, if ever?

As I already stated, i'm not ONLY active in AO, Star. There are lots of such RP's on Jolt. I figured that it would only be fair to post about my new military purchases here in my own region.

Congratulations, you have numbers.

Do they do an RP ability storefront?

Just for the record, I'm mightily pissed at your disloyalty to Paladin Tech. The AH-5, possibly our proudest export, accomplishes the same role as the TRA-92 yet at a fraction of the cost.

Falc: If you are referring to this thread, it's an OOC post. Well then, we'll just have to put PT's stuff through the NS Draftroom and see what's said about it, won't we? Also, the Eiko can do a lot more than the stated abilities of the AH-5.

Star: Well, it is active in II, and I actually enjoy it.

Depends entirely on the pilot and gunnery officer. I guarantee a trained Falcanian flight crew in an AH-5 will beat any other chopper.

Really? How about we test that theory with an exercise, Falc?
