Command Structure

Army Command West, based in Diourbel

Army Command Central, based near Aketi

Army Command East, based in Cairo

Organisation


The Inspector of the Army is in charge of the entire Army, with 3 vice-inspectors under him in charge of each army command. There are about 1,150,000 soldiers in the army, with 19.56% of the army being combat arms. This is about 224,980 combat soldiers. The army is organised into Field Armies of about 200,000. There are only 3 Armies currently. Armies are split into two Corps of two or three divisions, about 30 to 40 thousand. The average division has about 10,225 soldiers, but when combined with things like staff, aviation, medical corps and other support, a division can reach a nominal strength of 12,000 or more. There are 22 combat divisions in the regular army. Each division is broken into three regiments. Regiments are the default size grouping of Krosani troops. Divisions can also be split into two brigades of 3 regiments. A regiment is composed of about 3,000 men and is broken into 3 battalions of 1,000. A battalion is made up of 5 companies of 200 men. The company is the smallest official army designation. The company is broken into 5 platoons of 40 soldiers. Lastly, a platoon can either be broken into 3 squads(infantry) or 3 sections(cavalry, armour and aviation) of about 12. The squad is the basic infantry fighting unit. A squad can be split into 3 fireteams of 4.

Armoured Divisions
Description: Armoured Divisions operate as about 1/3 Infantry and 2/3 Armoured. Infantry is intergraded to the platoon level. They serve as an important spearhead into enemy territory and are the main feature of Krosana's doctrine. They mostly operate M1A2 Abrams tanks, though the update the M1A3K is slowly entering service. Merkava tanks can be seen in the Suez Area and California. Leopard 2 tanks are often used in the Congo Area.

1st Armoured Division "Hunters" (Joint Forces Base Suez, I Corps, 1st Army)
2nd Armoured Division "Renegades" (Diourbel, II Corps, 1st Army)
3rd Armoured Division "Stallions" (Fort Irwin, III Corps, 2nd Army)
4th Armoured Division "Wolfhounds" (Fort Zancudo, IV Corps, 2nd Army)
5th Armoured Division "Vampires" (Joint Forces Base Fallon, V Corps, 3rd Army)

Calvary Divisions
Description: Cavalry serves as the bridge between Armoured and Infantry troops. The operate armoured vehicles like the Ajax, an armoured scout vehicle, the M8 medium tank and Namer Infantry Fighting Vehicle. They also have heavy aviation support from attack helicopters like the AH-64 Apache.

1st Cavalry Division "Winged Hussars" (Naval Station Gran Canaria, V Corps, 3rd Army)
2nd Cavalry Division "Knights" (Fort Songhai, V Corps, 3rd Army)

Infantry Divisions
Description: Infantry are the most important on the battlefield. They operate both Namer IFVs, Bionix IFVs, L-ATVs, Sand Cats and other armoured and unarmored vehicles. They are the most mobile on the battlefield, after Mountain troops. They are much more mechanized than other nations, often resembling cavalry division to troops of foreign countries due to their heavy use of IFVs.

14th Infantry Division "Cowboys" (Fort Rogers, IV Corps, 2nd Army)
15th Light Infantry Division "Spartans" (Fort Irwin, V Corps, 3rd Army)

Air Assault Divisions
Description: Air Assault Divisions operate differently than other divisions in the Army. They have twice the number of soldiers as most other divisions and operate about 200-300 aircraft. They can serve as a quick relief to troops under siege.

1st Air Assault Division "Helljumpers" (Joint Forces Base Diourbel, VI Corps, 3rd Army)
2nd Air Assault Division "Angels" (The Citadel, VI Corps, 3rd Army)
3rd Air Assault Division "Warhawks" (Fort Songhai, VI Corps, 3rd Army)

Mountain Divisions
Description: In situations where the terrain is impassable for heavier Infantry, Mountain Divisions are deployed to take the place of infantry. They are equipped with L-ATVs, Servals, Sand Cats and ALSVs. They are even more strategically than Air Assault Divisions, as they number around 7,000, rather than the standard 10,000 seen in most divisions.

1st Mountain Division "Pioneers" (Joint Forces Base San Francisco, VII Corps, 3rd Army)

Doctrine and Strategy

Since the late 1970s, the doctrine of the AirLand Battle has shaped the Krosani army and how it fights. However, in the 1980s and beyond there has been an increasing amount of focus on constant artillery support and manoeuvre warfare. Very rarely will the army use artillery, air support, or manoeuvre alone. Instead, a more likely solution would be heavy artillery fire to soften up enemy defences, with aircraft delivering debilitating strikes, with a highly skilled manoeuvre carried out by light tracked AFVs and IFVs.

Unlike in most other armies, Krosani soldiers often do not march to their destinations, instead opting to use highly networked IFVs and MRAPs to organise effective manoeuvre and mobility.

An emerging tactic is the Air-Mech-Strike Group. This tactic would allow Krosana to transport infantry units to the frontline within a few days, allowing for quick relief of units who might be in danger of being overrun.

Motto: Per aspera ad astra (Latin: Through difficulties to the stars)

Structure

1st Air Force
2nd Air Force
3rd Air Force
4th Air Force
5th Air Force
6th Air Force
7th Air Force
9th Air Force
10th Air Force

The Air Force is organised into numbered air forces (e.g. 1st Air Force, 3rd Air Force) each with about 380 fighters, 23 electronic warfare aircraft, 85 bombers, 300 cargo aircraft and 140 tanker aircraft, a grand total of almost 1000 aircraft. The exceptions to this rule are the 9th and 10th Air Forces, which are used for training and experimental testing. Each numbered air force is divided into several wings, usually 10 to 12 and is composed of about 80 aircraft. Wings are divided into 6 squadrons of 12 aircraft, the smallest official designation. On mission assignments, squadrons are often subdivided into flights of 4 or elements of 2 aircraft.

The 9th Air Force, the numbered air force responsible training of most ground personnel, flight crew, and maintenance crew. It skips the wing designation, going straight to 37 large squadrons of 51 aircraft, and a further 13 non-flying squadrons for the training of other personnel.

The 10th Air Force is organised as a wing, with about 250 aircraft borrowed from various Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force squadrons around Krosana. They are also responsible for Special Tactics Squadrons, adversary training and evaluation of captured enemy aircraft.

Organisation

The Air Force is a large, highly trained force that is use by Krosana for transport, air dominance, and tactical and strategic bombing. Krosana'a Air Force is one of the world's oldest air forces, established 3 July 1917. An emerging tactic is the use of stealth aircraft, such as the F-23C Black Widow II. These aircraft can enter enemy airspace undetected, avoiding radar and shooting down enemy fighters.

Current Strength:

approx. 2880 Fighters
approx. 140 AWACS
approx. 105 Electronic Warfare
approx. 636 Bombers
approx. 420 Reconnaissance
approx. 1650 Cargo
approx. 320 Helicopters
approx. 1000 Tankers
approx. 2000 Trainers
approx. 400,000 personnel


Adversary Trainers

Lawhead F-16X Intruding Falcon

Corrigan F-15E Strike Eagle (SOLD TO BULGARIA)
Posted Image
Description: When McDonnell Douglass initially pitched the F-15A/B/C/D in the early 80s and were subsequently rejected, one of the main reasons is that the Eagles, though powerful air-to-air platforms, were useless for air-to-ground missions. When they returned in 1999 with the Strike Eagle, a multirole platform, to the Secretary of Defence, a former pilot, he was impressed.
In Service: 0, all 280 units sold to the Bulgarian Empire

Corrigan F-15SE Silent Eagle
Posted Image
Description: In July of 2002, the superiority of stealth was becoming clear to the Air Force and the populace. They launched the previously mentioned APUI. This would ask for upgrades to several aircraft, along with requests for new designs to be submitted. 300 of the 500 Strike Eagles would be refitted to a stealthy new configuration, along with about 20 new-build aircraft. Thus, the F-15 "Silent Eagle" was born.

The Federal Krosanian Navy

Motto: Semper Principes (Latin: Always leading)

Structure

2nd Fleet (Atlantic Ocean, western Arctic and southern Pacific)
3rd Fleet (East Pacific Ocean and east Arctic Ocean)
6th Fleet (Mediterranean)
7th Fleet (Indian and West Pacific)
http://i.imgur.com/AqF5ulv.jpg

The entire navy, commanded by a select group of Admirals and Fleet Admirals called the Admiralty, which is headed by the Admiral of the Navy is composed of approximately 407 ships. Each fleet is divided into 9 Task Forces headed by a surface aircraft carrier or amphibious assault ship. It is composed of 1 carrier or amphibious assault ship, 2 or more cruisers, 3 frigates, 2 or more submarines, 2 destroyers, and 3 resupply ships. The next division of ships is the Task Group or Carrier Strike Group, based around the carrier(surface or submarine), usually composed of a carrier with 2 or 3 surface escorts, 1 submarine escort and the carrier air wing. Squadrons are usually composed of 4 surface ships, such as cruisers or frigates, of 4 submarines in the case of a submarine squadron. Task units are the smallest official navy designation, being pairs of (non-aircraft carrier) ships capable of housing aircraft, such as frigates, littoral comabt ships or destroyers. The final unit is the Task Element or Element, a single, unescorted combat ship.

The Navy follows a similar structure as the Army, with three "home ports" where main operations occur and one Mobile Offshore Base located in the Mediterranean. The home ports are Bissau, Las Palmas and Suez. The MOB remains in a classified position, but anyone with satellite access and enough time could, in theory, find it. The MOB is capable of storing over 100 carrier-capable and non-carrier-capable aircraft. The Inspector of the Navy is in charge of the entire Navy. Each Home Port has a fleet attached to it, each Fleet having several aircraft carriers, assault ships, submarines, destroyers, frigates, etc.

The Federal Krosanian Marines

Motto: Primum est bellum (Latin: First to the Fight)

approx. 250,000 personnel

Marine Infantry

There are about 90,000 combat arms troops in the marine corps. They make up 36% of its forces, much more than the army's 19.56%. This is largely because marines do not have as many staff corps personnel, very few medical personnel. The combat arms serve in various roles such as artillery, infantry and aircrew. Marine divisions have integrated support, unlike the army. Marine divisions number around 12,000 troops. Each marine division is broken into 3 or 4 combat regiments, depending on size and whether support is attached. Regiments are about 1,000-2,000 in size. Each regiment is broken into 4-7 battalions, usually 5, with 300 soldiers on average. Battalions are broken into companies, the smallest "official" marine designation. Companies are usually 100 men and no more than 150 soldiers. A company will often consist of 3 or 4 platoons and very rarely 5 platoons. A platoon consists of about 24 men but can fluctuate between 30 and 15 on the battlefield. A platoon is broken into 3 sections of 8 men, or fireteams of 4, depending on the mission and unit.

The Special Forces of Krosana

The Special Forces of Krosan form their own pseudo-branch, giving them the freedom to operate from conventional forces, while still receiving funding and being subject to the rules and retaining the designations and ranks of their subjective branches. Most of the Special Forces teams were established during The Second Great War, retaining their German names and slang. As with all combat-designated roles in the military, the entirety of the Special Forces is male.

Seeluftlandkorps

Posted Image

Established during the Second Great War as a combat diver team, the Seeluftlandkorps(SLK)'s mission evolved into a multipurpose special ground force capable of fighting on the ground, in the littorals and deep in enemy territory. Training is extremely rigorous, and attrition rates average about 90%. It takes over a year for a soldier to become an SLK member. However, about 30% of the failed SLK applicants who have demonstrated themselves to have great potential are either recommend to be placed in the Jäger teams or given an option to go through a shorter, even more, rigourous SLK training regimen. The SLK reports to the Navy Special Warfare Command and, secondarily the Joint Special Operations Command. The SLK number at approximately six to twelve thousand, though the actual number is classified.

Jäger

Posted Image

The Jäger are mainly divided into two parts: Fallschirmjäger, the lighter infantry paratroops, and the Gebirgsjäger, the heavier all-weather troops. The Jäger are Army personnel, highly trained for paratroops operations as well as general special operations. Jäger training is gruelling and intense, designed to test both a soldiers body and mind. The vast majority of their training goes towards parachute landings and for the Gebirgsjäger, mountain combat. Very little focus is put on fighting near or around the ocean. Both the Gebirgsjäger and the Fallschirmjäger number together about 20,000. They report to the Army Special Warfare Command and the Joint Special Operations Command.

Überfallflugzeug

Posted Image

The name Überfallflugzeug means "raiders". Highly secretive, the Raiders can turn up on nearly anyone's doorstep. While less well known than the SLK, they are an even better trained and more secretive force. They are assigned to the Marines and are estimated to number 14,000. Unlike the other special forces, they do not report to the Joint Soecial Operations Command.

Adlerkrallen

Posted Image

With their name translating to "Eagle Claws" the Adlerkrallen are specifically trained not to rely on stealth and primarily use more dated fighters in their operations. Every pilot applying must have to be qualified in each fighter in his respective branch. Captured foreign fighters, adversary aircraft and situations where air superiority is desperately needed are situations for the Adlerkrallen. Pilots from the Air Force make up the bulk of the ranks, but training was opened to Navy and Marine Corps pilots in 2016. The number 1,000 pilots and approximately 900 aircraft. They operate the F-15KA, F-14E, F/A-18F, F-20, F-23 and F-22N. They report to the Air Special Warfare Command and the Joint Special Operations Command.

Falkenkorps

Posted Image

The "Falcon Corps" specialize in low altitude insertions. They are the cargo counterpart to the Adlerkrallen fighters. Many of the squadrons in the Falkenkorps trace their history back to the Second Great War. The Falkenkorps operate the C-130, E-14, C-5, C-27 and their main aircraft, the C-17, number approximately 1800 pilots. They report to the Air Special Warfare Command and the Joint Special Operations Command.

The Space Forces of Krosana

Krosana's space exploration programme structure is unusual compared to that of other nations. It is a military arm of the government, it's budget being accounted for as part of the military budget. However, there are no general, admirals or commanders, only the Chief of Space Operations. Another difference between the Space Forces and other programmes is that there is no direct enlistment, only a referral from an OF-7 or higher or a Diet member can guarantee that one can enter the space forces.
Posted Image
The SF was established on January 16, 1955. On December 11, 1971, The first Krosani walked the moon. SF receive 10% of the military budget, approximately 170 billion dollars annually. The SF currently has 8 major projects that are either being planned or are operation.

The Coast Guard of Krosana

The Coast Guard of Krosana officially operates as a military authority, with authorization to board ships. They have jurisdiction over both the waters of Krosana and international waters. In times of war, the Coast Guard can be brought under the command of the Navy, by either the order of President or the Diet.

Reserve Forces of Krosana

Krosana has two reserve forces to pull additional manpower from the Armed Forces Reserve, and the Militia. The AFR is in the official military structure, with the same physical guidelines as the main forces, same laws, and reservists are subject o desertion charges if they leave unannounced. The AFR is made up of 100% veterans and retirees. They receive their arms and pay from the government as well. They also are required to serve and train with active-duty forces for 45 days a year, and more for pilots. The Militia is mostly made up of retired veterans, people with minor diseases, and others who cannot otherwise serve in the AFR. Unlike the AFR, the Militia is not in the military structure, the members are all volunteers.

Militia Forces of Krosana

The Militia is much less centralized than the reserve. Each regiment sets its own amount of training yearly, but it must be at least 25 days a year. It is mainly composed of people unable to serve in the active-duty forces due to minor health issues such as asthma or eyesight problems, with retired military officers and NCOs making up the leadership. The militia trains often with local active-duty and reservist personnel.
