Republic Armed Forces
Overview
The Republic Armed Forces or the RAF is the military of the Fenvaria Republic, which is responsible for the defense of the nation in any environment. Meaning that the RAF is responsible for defending the land and see that the Fenvaria Republic owns or claims as its territory. The Republic Armed Forces are then broken up into two branches;
-Fenvaria Republic Army (Also called Republic Army or Army)
-Fenvaria Republic Navy (Also called Republic Navy or Navy)
The Army is responsible for any sort of ground operations that occur within or outside of the Fenvaria Republic, meaning that they are responsible for planetary invasions, planetary garrisoning, etc. The Army is also by far one of the largest branches of the military as it is a focal point for the Fenvaria Republic in its view of war.
The Navy is responsible for any sort water based operations that occur inside or outside of the Fenvaria Republic meaning that they are responsible for ship to ship combat, patrolling of shipping lanes/transport lanes, etc.
Doctrine
Idea: Highly mobile, adaptive, combined arms, balanced nordic like army
The Republic Armed Forces doctrine is mostly built around the idea of total defense, everything from government to the economy has been planned to aid the defense of the FR in times of conflict, especially when it comes to the invasion of Fenvaria Territory. Since the Republic has adopted a high-intensity warrior culture and their culture is highly territorial, they tend to fight to the last combatant when they are holding a position, only retreating to take up new positions behind the front line. While they are moving to a new position other FR forces would move in and stage counter-attacks, set traps, ambushes, and so on. This is done to delay the enemy as much as possible to let other units get into position. The main objectives of the RAF is to keep vital planets and objectives in FR possession, delay the enemy until reinforcements arrive, and drag out the fight as long as possible to make it as costly as possible.
Army
The role of the Republic Army is to protect ground assets, delay and repulse ground invasions. It is an adaptive combined arms force, that focuses on highly mobile forces. While it is a balanced force, having both offensive and defensive capabilities, it often does the best when it comes to defensive tactics. The Republic Army specializes in rough terrain, so like heavily forested woods, mountains, and so on; they are also adept in snow warfare, as the planet they evolved on and colonized has colder climates. Dictated by the doctrine of the FR, Troopers won’t retreat, instead, they will fall back to secondary defensive lines and continue to engage the enemy as they moved back. Setting up ambushes, counter attacks, traps, and mines. Another tactic that is used by soldiers is to lay in the snow, cover themselves in the snow and wait for enemy convoys, ambush them, kill or injure all involved soldiers then set up a signal so another convoy can arrive and wipe them out as well.
The Army is decently mechanized, however they still use a good amount of regular infantry. To also support this the Army has a strong core of all-around mobile tanks, that are deployed with the infantry to support them. The idea of rapid aggression comes to mind, hitting hard, hitting fast, and overwhelming firepower.
Navy
The Navy is the water branch of the RAF, the navy is responsible for all water based operations. So anything from cargo escort, patrols, to ship to ship engagements. From this the navy is also an adaptive highly mobile force; as the navy believes in a “hit hard, hit fast, and hit with overwhelming firepower”. Destroyers, light carriers, and corvettes are the backbone of the Republic navy as they can move faster than any other ship in the navy, this doesn't mean that the Navy lacks any heavy guns. As they do have a rather impressive fleet of battleships, dreadnoughts, and super dreadnoughts. The navy also has an extensive fleet of medical ships, repair ships, and transports to help with the logistics of the navy when they are defending Republic naval territory or going on the offensive.
The Republic Navy operates in formations that range from flotillas to something as large as full-blown capital fleets. However, the most common are smaller patrol fleets, made up of several groups of flotillas. These small formations allow FR ships to move quickly and semi undetectable, this then allows them to carry out hit and run tactics upon enemy convoys or fleets. Dragging enemy forces into pre-zoned and calculated interception vectors so larger fleets with heavier class ships can jump on top of the enemy. Or into firing ranges of the coastal defenses.
Recruitment:
In the Fenvaria Republic, there is universal conscription for the entire population, everyone at the age of 18 must enlist in the military (active or reserve), Home Guard or some sort of public service. Conscription usually happens right after citizens turn 18 and their completion of the Military Academy.
The Academy is part of the education system as it’s goals are to help the upcoming generation with the means to defend themselves as well as the basics in combat. This also helps as by the time the participant leaves the Academy they would have an associate degree by the age of 18. The Academy is required by all citizens to attend as it has become a centerpiece in a number of places. Meaning that the FR has a rather large military force, however most of it in the reserve but still ready to fight. The typical age range to join the FR military is 18-36 then there is a mandatory 2-year service requirement after your training. Below is the list of requirements that are needed to at least join the FR military
-Valid Fenvaria Republic Citizen
-Between 18-36
-Must have at least passed the Academy
-No prior major medical or illness
-Must pass physical and mental evaluations
Since the FR is rather militarized there is also a strong amount of propaganda around the idea of joining the military as you are helping to protect your nation. “Doing your part, to protect your nation” is a popular slogan on many propaganda posters to help encourage more people to join the military in hopes for more national unity as well as a larger base for soldiers in case the nation was to be invaded. So effectively that means that the FR is always militarized and if it does come to it, ready for any sort of invasion as civilians would help fight alongside national forces to help repel the invaders.
