The Veridian Union's armed forces are unique, primarily the integration of four different branches under one common command. Upon the Union's foundation, the armed forces is comprised solely of the Department of the Navy, and the subordinate Marines. A "Infantrymen To General" officer enlistment structure, where only officers were former enlisted infantry, is the core structure of leadership.


History

After the formation of the Veridian Union, the leadership faced challenges trying to reform the Armed Forces. Historically all land forces were considered "Marines" due to the maritime heritage. The Navy had a larger influence in everyday life since the colonial days. Not wanting to upset the status quo, the government has decided to keep the same two branches.

Many of the military equipment since the founding has been inherited from their former democratic nation. At the time, the industries lacked the capabilities to manufacture tanks or guns. The Military Council has petitioned the Commission heavily to jumpstart military industries towards firearm and munitions manufacturing within the first five years.

The Aerial Rift (1925-1930)

With the development of aircraft, a massive rift started developing between the Marines and Navy. The Council was deadlocked, a rarely seen event that required the Commission to step in. It was with the vote of the Commission, 82-23, that decided the field of aerial developments and stance be given to the Navy.

Upset over this decision, several Marine higher ups retired out of discontent. A maneuver that gimped the Union's Marines from continuing their duties. However, the Union was content to continue on with the issues of those who retired gone by 1930 after intense Commission Hearings to confirm the new selections.

Struggles to update the Military (1930-1938)

In the Second and Third Five Year Plans, the Commission has invested heavily into armored vehicle design and manufacturing. Industrial plants, proving grounds, and various R&D groups were constructed. By the end of the Third Five Year Plan, WECO (WEstern COoperative) was formed from several R&D groups to head production of the new Armored Car, the HARV.

Despite massive results in what is considered a successful design, the tank industry lagged heavily. The terrain and ecology of the Veridian Islands were not accepting of steel beasts. To save time and money, the Third Five Year Plan stipulated the acquiring of a foreign design to utilize, copy, and develop. The Tank III was chosen for it's simplicity and durability at the time, although in small numbers. It wasn't until the First Incursion did larger orders come in.

First Incursion (1939-1946)

Fighting in North Gondwana started with the Veridian Union's declaration of war on 10 June 1939. On 14 June, the Navy undertook interdiction and patrol routes in the Straight of Hope, clearing the seas for open transportation and a full scale invasion. However, air power was lacking during the first few years of the Incursion.

The Veridian Union Marines's 4th Cavalry Division (assisted by elements of the 1st Armored Division) crossed the straight from Veridia into Toloria and captured the Tolorian Fort Caluzzi. This was followed by an Tolorian counter-offensive into Union-held territory and the capture of Sidi Barr in December 1940 and again in February 1941 following a Union counteroffensive, Operation Marksman. During Operation Marksman, the Tolorian 2nd Army was destroyed and the Genoshan 1st Corps was dispatched in February 1941 during Operation Day Sun to reinforce Tolorian forces in order to bring the Union war effort to a grinding halt.

A stalemate of battles for control of regions of Toloria followed, reaching a breakthrough in the Invasion of Genosha in April 1943 when Veridian Union forces under the command of General Benjamin Siphiwe inflicted a decisive defeat to the 2nd Corps and forced its remnants into Toloria. After the landings (Operation Relief), and subsequent battles against Genoshan forces (who then changed sides), the Union encircled several thousand Genoshan personnel in western Genosha and finally forced their surrender in May 1944.

Operation Relief in April 1943 was an operation that met the Union's objective of relieving pressure off the 4th Cavalry Division, and severed the flow of crude oil to Toloria. The cutting off of such a strategic resource proved critical to Union success in North Gondwana. The massive victory against Genosha culminated in the downfall of the Caliphate-leaning government the elimination of a potential Pax ally.

In August, 1946. Toloria capitulated after the siege of Honnes. The Caliph leaning members of government and military were purged, with a fascist leaning monarch reinstalled.

Northern Gondwana Intervention (1950-1955)

The Northern Gondwana Intervention began when Caliphate-leaning rebels popped up in Genosha and Toloria. The Veridian Union came to the aid of Toloria and Genosha. Although never confirmed nor denied, the Prussian Empire and Pax Caliphate has been suspected of providing assistance to the rebels.

Toloria was ruled by Magnes I from 1946, after the closing days of the First Incursion. In January 1947, Magnes I began massive internal societal and political shifts to favor the Union. Genosha harbored more anti-pax sentiments, and it's populace was more accepting of the fascist undertones. Union forces subsequently began the establishment of military bases in Toloria and Genosha. By 1948, as a product of a cold war between the Veridian Union and Prussia, Caliphate-leaning fundamentalists were secretly armed and trained by Prussia. Soon the extremism escalated into warfare when the Tolorian Caliphate Resistance Movement (TCRM)—supported by Prussia, Owha, and soon the Pax—began widespread uprisings on 25 June 1950. On that day, the Veridian Union recognized this act as an uprising and called for an immediate cessation. On 27 June, the Union decided to dispatch military forces in Toloria.

After the first two months of the conflict, Tolorian Forces were forced back to major cities. In September 1950, a Union counter-offensive was launched from the borders of Genosha, and subsequent amphibious landings at various points along the Tolorian Coastline. Those that were blocked off from sea access were rapidly forced southeast, all the way to the border with Owha. At this point, in October 1951, Pax Caliphate and Prussian forces advanced north from the borders of Owha. Various skirmishes existed between these borders which continued until mid-1953.

After these reversals of fortune the last two years of conflict became a war of attrition, with the front line close to the current borders. The war in the air, however, was never a stalemate. Owha was subject to a massive bombing campaign. Jet fighters confronted each other in air-to-air combat, and Prussian pilots covertly flew in defense of their Caliph allies.

The fighting ended on 27 July 1955, when an uneasy peace agreement was signed. The agreement created the Gondwana Demilitarized Zone to separate Genosha and Toloria from Owha, and allowed the return of prisoners.

Oynenyuan Continuation War (1955-1977)

The Oynenyuan Continuation War, also known in Abakamoso as the Resistance War Against Fascism, was a war that occurred in Oynenyua, Transmass, Zala, Maxtopia, Bigtopia, and Nambutu from 1 November 1955 to the fall of D'hana Ozak on 25 April 1977. It was a continuation of the Oynenyuan Wars and was officially fought between the Democratic Republic of Oynenyuan Movement (DROM), National Army for a Free Oynenyua (NAFO), United Abakamoso Democratic Front (UADF), Oynenyuan Tribal Alliance (OTA), and the government of the Oynenyuan Free State. The UADF was supported by Laiatan, Matamba, and Tsumebia. NAFO was supported by the Veridian Union, Toloria, Genosha, and other fascist allies. The war is considered a proxy war.

The UADF, a southern Oynenyuan communist common front aided by Laiatan, fought a guerrilla war against the Oynenyuan Free State, while the People's Army of Matamba, engaged in more conventional warfare, at times committing large units to battle. As the war continued, the military actions of the UADF increased as the role and engagement of Matamba lessened. NAFO and fascist forces relied on air superiority and overwhelming firepower to conduct search and destroy operations, involving ground forces, artillery, and airstrikes. In the course of the war, the Veridian Union conducted a large-scale strategic bombing campaign against the DROM and later the Oynenyuan Free State.

The Matamban and Laiatan government, including the UADF were fighting to expand the ideals of Communism. The UADF and Matamba viewed the conflict as a civil war and a continuation of the Oynenyuan Wars against forces from the Free State. The Veridian Union government viewed its involvement in the war as a way to prevent a Communist takeover of Oynenyua. This was part of a wider containment policy, with the stated aim of stopping the spread of communism.

Beginning in 1955, Union military advisors arrived in what was then the Oynenyuan Free State. South Hills also reportedly sent MACOSOG (Military Assistance Command, Oynenyua – Studies and Observations Group) into the region in 1962. Union involvement escalated in the late 1960s, with troop levels tripling in 1969 and again in 1975. Regular combat units were deployed beginning in 1965. Operations crossed international borders: bordering areas of Transmass, Zala, Maxtopia, and Bigtopia were heavily bombed by Union forces as involvement in the war peaked in 1973, the same year that the communist side launched the Kilogo Offensive. The Kilogo Offensive succeeded in its goal of overthrowing the Oynenyuan Free State government, but became the turning point in the war, as it focused the attention from the now dismantled OFS onto NAFO.

Union involvement escalated further following the 1975 Zaire River incident, in which a Union scout squad clashed with UADF elements, which was followed by the Zaire River Resolution, which gave the Union Military Council authorization to increase military presence. Now focused onto the UADF, the war turned into a stalemate. Constant skirmishes and recapturing of lost land only driven both sides closer to fatigue. An uneasy armistace was declared between both sides in July 1976.

Direct Veridian Union military involvement ended on 15 August 1977. The signing of the Liberty City Peace Accords of 1977, in April, marked the end of the war, and territories formerly recognized as part of the Oynenyuan Free State were divided in the agreement. Now the former nation is recognized as Abakamoso and Oynenyua. Abakamoso being made up primarily of the UADF, Oyenyua the NAFO. The war exacted a huge cost in terms of fatalities. Estimates of the number of soldiers and civilians killed vary from 999,000 to 5.8 million.

Veridian Union Navy

The Veridian Union Navy (VUN) is the naval and aerial warfare service branch of the Veridian Union Armed Forces.

The V.U. Navy traces its origins to the Colonial Navy, which was established during the Veridian Revolutionary War and was effectively disbanded as a separate entity shortly thereafter. It played the central role in the First Incurion's defeat of Toloria and Genosha. The 21st century V.U. Navy maintains a sizable regional presence. It is a blue-water navy with the ability to project force onto the littoral regions of the world, engage in forward areas during peacetime, and rapidly respond to regional crises.

The Navy is administratively managed by the Department of the Navy, which is headed by the Secretary of the Navy. The Department of the Navy is itself a division of the Military Affairs Administration, which is headed by the Secretary of Defense.

Veridian Union Fleet Air Arm

The Fleet Air Arm (FAA) is the branch of the Veridian Union Navy responsible for the operation of naval aircraft.

The Fleet Air Arm was formed in 1927 as an organisational unit of the Navy which was then operating the aircraft embarked on ships. During the First Incursion, the Fleet Air Arm operated aircraft on ships as well as land-based aircraft that defended the Navy's shore establishments and facilities, and were deployed with Marines units.

Due to the organizational structure in the Marines, and through a mutual agreement between the Navy and Marines; the Fleet Air Arm is operated semi-independently and often is deployed among Marine Task Forces as a semi-organic unit.

Veridian Union Marines

The Veridian Union Marines (VUM) is a branch of the Veridian Union Armed Forces responsible for providing power projection, using the mobility of the Veridian Union Navy, by Commissional mandate, to deliver rapidly, combined-arms task forces on land, at sea, and in the air. The V.U. Marines are one of the two armed service branches in the V.U. Military Affairs Administration (MAA). The current President of the Military Council, the highest-ranking military officer in the V.U. armed forces, is a Marine general.

The Marines has been a component of the Department of the Navy since 30 June 1834, working closely with naval forces for training, transportation, and logistics. The VUM operates posts on land and aboard sea-going amphibious warfare ships around the world.

Two battalions of Colonial Marines were formed on 1 November 1834 in DuVall as a service branch of infantry troops capable of fighting for independence both at sea and on shore. The role of the Marines has since grown and evolved, expanding to aerial warfare and earning popular titles such as, "The Union's Land Army".

Veridian Union Marine Aviation

Veridian Union Marine Aviation is the air component of the Veridian Union Marines. Marine aviation has a very different mission and operation than its ground counterpart, and thus, has many of its own histories, traditions, terms, and procedures.

All Marine aviation falls under the influence of the Deputy Commandant for Aviation, whose job is to advise the Commandant of the Marine Corps in all matters relating to aviation, especially acquisition of new assets, conversions of current aircraft, maintenance, operation, and command. The Marines operate rotary-wing aircraft mainly to provide transport and close air support to its ground forces. However, other aircraft types are also used in a variety of support and special-purpose roles.

A unique aspect to organization is that land-based and sometimes sea-based fixed wing assets are under the command of the Marine Task Force. The Navy and Marines have a mutual agreement to share it's air power to assist in land warfare. Today, Marine and sometimes Naval aviation is task organized to support the Marine Task Force, as the aviation combat element, by providing six functions: assault support, antiair warfare, offensive air support, electronic warfare, control of aircraft and missiles, and aerial reconnaissance.

Veridian Union Marine Force Recon

The Veridian Union Marine Force Recon is an elite military formation of the Veridian Union Marines, that serve in designated V.U. Marine Force Recon units or are graduates from the V.U. Marine Force Recon School. The term "recon" has been in use unofficially in a military context since the Oynenyuan Continuation War. The first military company officially commissioned as recon were NAFO Light Infantry units, or inspired by such. The original Light Infantry were taken and improved upon, serving as Airborne and Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol units.

The classic Force Recon Slouch Hat, it is considered an item of pride and proof of membership into Force Recon.

The 1st Force Recon Brigade is an elite airborne light infantry combat formation within the Veridian Union Armed Forces Special Operations Command (VUAFSOC). There were originally two battalions that formed, which then grew into four. The original two fought in Oynenyua, Toloria, and Rallia, and saw action in several conflicts, such as those in Oynenyua.

The Force Recon Training Brigade (FRTB)—headquartered at Fort Oilton—is an organization under the Veridian Union's Training and Doctrine Organization (VUDOO) and is separate from the 1st Force Recon Brigade. It has been in service in various forms since the Oynenyuan Continuation War. The Force Recon Training Brigade administrates Force Recon School, the satisfactory completion of which is required to become Ranger qualified and to wear the Force Recon Slouch Hat. The Force Recon Slouch Hat was colored green, with the left side of the brim pinned upwards by the Force Recon Badge.

It continued to see use and held it's own in the Nothern Gondwana Intervention against all odds. Panzer III K proposal.png
Rhode Heavy Works Tank III Assault Gun Assault Gun 75mm Marines 1942-1962; A casemate version of the Tank III, it continued to see service until the late 50's with a remarkable service history. STug-III-ausf-G-2.png
Rhode Heavy Works "Chaffee" Light Tank 75mm Marines 1944-1955; A domestically designed light tank, it's service was ended by the Northern Gondwana Intervention due to heavy losses. It became evident that it could not compete against the proliferation of advanced tanks at the time. M24chaffee.jpg
Rhode Heavy Works RHW-30 Main Battle Tank 105mm Marines 1966-1992; After the disappointing Chaffee, it became obvious a new generation of tanks were needed. The RHW-30 sought to restore Rhode Heavy Work's honor and provide a exemplary fighting vehicle on the battlefield. It proved itself in the Second Incursion, fighting T-62s and T-64s. The honor restored, it sees use in other nations to this date. AMX 30 B2.jpg
Armored Fighting Vehicles
WECO Heavy Armor Recon Vehicle (HARV) Wheeled Recon Vehicle 20mm Autocannon and 8mm Mauser GPMG Marines 1937-1942; The HARV was the one that gained the Union's reputation for using light, fast, and hard hitting vehicles during the First Incursion. Sdkfz231.jpg
WECO Heavy Armor Recon Vehicle 1 (HARV-1) Wheeled Recon Vehicle 20mm Autocannon and 8mm Mauser GPMG Marines 1939-1946; After the original HARV saw action in Toloria and Genosha, it became evident a upgraded version was needed. Equipped with a longer range radio and a large aerial. Sdkfz232 8.jpg

Anti-Tank Platforms
75mm Anti-Tank Gun, Model 1940 Anti-Tank Gun 75mm Cannon Marines 1940-1943; With the advent of more advanced tank armor, the Union leaders realized they needed a cheap, yet highly effective anti-tank solution. The Model 1940 was efficient, delivering high velocity rounds from a relatively cheap platform. It proved itself extremely effective in the first years of the First Incursion. However, as the war went on, they started becoming more and more ineffective. 75mm-pak-40-antitank-gun.jpg
88mm Anti-Tank Gun, Model 1943 Anti-Tank Gun 88mm Cannon Marines 1943-1952; After reports of the Model 1940 becoming ineffective in the face of rapidly changing tank armor, the Union rushed into developing a new gun. It was decided that taking the 88mm gun from the Air Defense Cannons and mounting them on a new carriage was the best option. PaK43-41 base borden military museum 4.jpg
128mm Anti-Tank Gun, Model 1945 Anti-Tank Gun 128mm Cannon Marines 1945-1955; With nations rolling out with more advanced tanks at the time, the need for an even bigger gun became present. Seeing service in the Northern Gondwana Intervention against Caliphate produced tanks, it packed a wallop. Sadly it's career came to an end with the prevalence of Anti-Tank Missiles.
