New department Interest and Organisation [Spec Ops Task force/ Military ground forces]

[shroudedintent]

For a good while we’ve had an organised space force yet no sign of a dedicated and/or organised military infantry/ground force.

Time to rectify that!

Thus I bring to you the possibility of the Special Operations task force to act as a dedicated military force capable of taking on missions of a vast variety of sorts. Be it ground battles, boarding actions, night raids and reconnaissance missions, the Task force will be up for the job.

-------------------------------------------------

Department/organization: Special Operations Task force. (Name may be subject to change)

Duties:

To provide a primary organised and disciplined multi role military force for the Transmigration 9. Primarily utilized to focus on ground borne engagements and missions but also set up for use in special operations such as boarding operations as well as semi-covert operations such as night time raids.

Where duties crossover with other departments:

Task force works directly as part of military command, Engineering for assistance in the maintenance of equipment and vehicles. Cross over with Starfighter command for aerial transport, particularly for space borne endeavours such as boarding actions.

Cross over may be possible as well with magic/mystical in the case of battlefield casters and artillery if required. In addition Medical could assist with combat medics to assist the task force in the field.

Requirements to Join, if any: Able to utilize weapons and work as part of a squad, or be capacity to be trained in such. Training in the use of ground based fighting or transport vehicles and walkers would also be needed for those interested in the armoured support division of the department.

-------------------------------------------------

Potential organization:
This is a basic idea of the potential organisation of the Task force, note that the Task force will work directly with Command.

Organisational command: Special Operations Commander

Overall field command: Field Marshal

1^st Infantry Regiment: Major/Lieutenant
Note: Organised into squads of 2-10 led by an officer of Sergeant rank or higher.

Could include:

Light infantry
Heavy infantry
Power armoured infantry
Assorted specialists to be attached to or assist squads:
-Sniper teams
-Heavy weapon teams
-Combat Engineers
-Scouts/recon specialists

2^nd Armoured Regiment: Major/Lieutenant
Note: Fielded in squadrons or attached to Infantry regiment where needed.

Could include:

Scout vehicles
Light/heavy transports
Light/heavy walkers
Light/heavy armoured vehicles

-------------------------------------------------

Who the Task Force needs:

-Officers: People who have experience in combat and are willing to lead and command others in the field. As an officer the character will have rank within Command. Each squad will have a Sergeant and each regiment will be lead by a Major or Lieutenant.

-Soldiers: People who can take orders and can wield a weapon, or who willing to be trained in the use of such weapons. Weapons will be provided for those who do not have their own.

-Specialists: People who are experienced in combat and also capable or willing to be trained in specialist area be it in the use of heavy or sniper weapons or in reconnaisance and stealth duties. Other specialists may be those trained in sapping or repairs in the field or even battlefield casters.

-Drivers/Gunners: Those who can and are willing to drive and/or operate a variety of combat vehicles into combat or are willing to be trained in the use of such vehicles and their associated systems. Vehicles will be provided for those who do not have their own.

If you have any ideas, suggestions or characters that would sign up with the task force, in either regiment or in possible command positions let me know below!

I know I can't speak for other players' interests, but you might wanna see if Roger's mun would be in on this - he's got a set of power armor as well, and that whole "founding the Brotherhood of Steel" bit under his belt.

Veronica brought a laser rifle along, but GIA weapons are probably better than that antique.

Good that he'd be useful, though whether I'll get him involved is kind of wobbly at the moment, as he may wind up teaming up with the Rangers - stuff's still up in the air.

Lina...would be a handful, and I suppose it would matter on who gets her into doing things and who she has to answer to, along with the situation. Crap hits the fan, she's usually good about doing what's needed, or if it's someone she knows well giving the orders, then that might work out. Otherwise, she will try to weasel out of it until a reward is involved.

I haven't had a chance to speak to Roger's mun specifically, but from 'Vadum's thread with Roger so far, it looks like Roger would want to be in on it, and if he wants in he's welcome to, will get in touch with them if I can catch them online.

GIA Plasma rifles then most likely for Veronica.

That's understandable, if he does end up involved I'm sure he'll be of use. Either way is fine by me!

As to Lina, I suppose that's something we'll have to see as to who she's put with when she joins in. Should be interesting either way!

I'm rather interested in getting Lina involved, so we can probably find some way to make things work.

Indeed, I'm sure we can find a way to make it work in that case!

This is Roger's mun. I'm groovy with it. My email address is this user name @ megaloceros dot net, and I can give you my AIM ID if you find that easier to communicate with.

Cool, have sent an email across to you, hopefully it got through.
