The Bear Republic - a work in Progress

The Bear Republic (aka as The Great Bear Republic) A Confederated Republic
Consists of "Federal States" subdivided into "Regional States" and further
subdivided into various smaller governmental bodies. Flag: TBD Tech: Fusion
Generation Plants, Superior FCS and Missile Guidance Drives: Varied (see
notes) Single Barrel Turrets predominate

The Confederation military consists of 1 division Coast Guard Marines
(Waterborne,) Jump Jet troops (2 Battalions), ATGM Brigade, VTOL "Air Marines"
Battalion and an Off Planet Expeditionary Force (TBD) The Coast Guard Marines
generally serve in Company sized detachments or in port based "Garrisons."

The Federal states are required to maintain 1 to 2 division elements each
varying dependent on their terrain and population. All forces may be
confederalized for defensive operations (internal or external.)

"Coastal states" are required to maintain GEV "Marine" units equipped with HEL
weapons. These units are trained in coastal operations using amphibious or
VTOL methods.

"Mountain states" are required to maintain Tracked SLAM equipped "Mountain"
units. The infantry is trained in "Mountain" warfare operations.

"Desert states" are required to maintain Mechanized Cavalry units utilizing
either DFFG or GMS weapons. These are generally specialized in 'behind enemy
lines or Special Forces' operations.

"General States" (i.e., all other) are required to maintain GRAV equipped
Mechanized forces using HKP weapons (MDC 1 and 2 for smaller size weapons.)

"Regional States" are required to maintain 1 - 5 Battalions of "Light"
National Guard forces using Wheeled and MDC equipped systems, depending on
population. The Average is 2 units. All forces may be Federalized in a
disaster or riot and all forces may be Confederalized for defensive operations
(internal or external.)

States below "Regional" May (with permission of Regional, Federal and
Confederal governments) maintain "Light Infantry" ('leg' although unarmed
organic wheeled 'truck' transport is part of the TO&E in most units)
Companies. All units be Federalized or Confederalized in a declared crisis for
internal protection.

Vehicle general design is fixed as follows:

APC Size 3, FT x 2, "System/1" turret, PDS/ BAS, LAD
LBT Size 3, "System/3" Turret, PDS/Sup, LAD
LTD Size 3, "System/5" Turret
MBT Type 1 Size 4, "System/4" turret, PDS/Bas,  LAD, 4 capacity local
design
MBT Type 2 Size 4, "System/4" turret, PDS/Bas, "System/2" Secondary
Turret (free choice of weapon type)
IFV Size 4, FT x 2, "System/3" turret, PDS/ Enh
TD Size 4, "System/5", PDS/Enh, LAD
HTD Size 4, 2 x "System/5"
ATGM Size 4, FT, GMS/H x 4
HBT Size 5, "System/5" Turret, PDS/Enh, LAD, 2 x (extra) APSW

Platoons of vehicles are standardized at 5.

Fire Teams are standardized at 4 troopers; 3 for APSW, and 2 for GMS/L
and LAD

Infantry Organization (platoon level) Marine: 4 Infantry, 4 Assault, 2 APSW
ATGM: 3 APSW, 2 LAD
Jump Jet: 8 Infantry, 2 GMS/L
All Other: 6 Infantry, 2 APSW, LAD, GMS/L

TYPO!  [HTD Size 4, 2 x "System/5"] *should be* [HTD Size 5, 2 x
"System/5"].

And [LTD Size 3, "System/5" Turret] is clearly a violation of the
RECOMMENDED guidelines about vehicle size and maximum weapon size. But since
it is recommended I chose to include it for potential use (and discussion.)

Addition: "Territorial Militia" may be formed for unorganized areas with
Confederal Permission. This usually will consist of horse cavalry or light
infantry.
