Description[?]:
The following military structure was last updated in 3971, almost 250 years ago. At that time the Armed Forces of Aloria (AFA) was divided into 4 branches: the Alorian Republican Army (ARA), the Alorian Republican Navy (ARN), the Alorian Republican Air Force (ARAF), and the Alorian Reserve Militia (ARM), with active and reserve troop numbers as follows: ARA - 115,000 active; 40,000 reserve ARN - 40,000 active; 15,000 reserve ARAF - 30,000 active; 20,000 reserve ARM - 20,000 active; 200,000 reserve We move a motion to re-structure of the Armed Forces. Given internal peace and our non-aggressive international interactions, we propose that the Armed Forces of Aloria (AFA) be renamed to the Alorian Defence Force (ADF). Given that compulsory military service has been scrapped for many years we also propose that the Alorian Reserve Militia (ARM) be discontinued. In its place we suggest the creation of the Alorican Republican Marine Corps (ARMC), an elite special forces unit tasked to provide special-operations capabilities including reconnaissance and surveillance, special recovery operations, and counter-terrorism capabilities. Given the large defence budget over the past decades and centuries we propose the following active and reserve troop numbers: ARA - 140,000 active; 100,000 reserve ARN - 80,000 active; 26,000 reserve ARAF - 70,000 active; 21,000 reserve ARMC - 10,000 active; 3,000 reserve We also propose a reform of the national intelligence services. Moving forward we would seek to structure our intelligence community under four departments: The Alorian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS) - responsible for international human intelligence (similar to the CIA) The Alorian Security Intelligence Service (ASIO) - responsible for domestic security intelligence (similar to the FBI) The Alorian Communications Security Agency (ACSA) - responsible for signals intelligence (similar to the NSA) The Alorian Defence Intelligence Bureau (ADIB) - responsible for defence intelligence (similar to the DIA) The directors of each of the four intelligence services will be nominated by the President. These nominations must be approved by a majority in the Senate. Each director will report to the Minister of Defence, who in turn reports to the Cabinet and the President. We also move to confirm the existence of and commit future funding to our intelligence and defence assets as below: Army Bases in Concordia, Llyn, and Sulla Naval Bases in Port Freiheit and Rhuddem Cape Air Force Bases in Karlstadt and Philipsburg Marine Corps HQ in Porthladd Loer Alorian Coast Guard HQ in Sildar Urbem National Alorian Space Administration (NASA) in Ceres The Alorian Defence Satellite Communications Station in Mansfeld A map of Aloria can be found here: http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Demokratische_Republik_Aloria?file=Aloria_map.png |

Message | Aloria was recently categorised as a middle power. While not a regional or great power, we still concur moderate levels of political and military influence. Per the RP guidelines (http://forum.particracy.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7293&p=115462#p115451) we are: - Able to defend and secure our border entirely. - Able to project moderate amounts of military and political influence to our immediate neighbors only. - Able to possess weapons of mass destruction (chemical and biological only, not nuclear). - Able to possess amphibious warfare ships (except aircraft carriers). - Internally stable - Able to possess and maintain an efficient and effective armed forces (one which is limitedly up to date, moderately trained and moderately equipped). - Slightly dependent on military alliances with larger nations which surround us (Dorvik and Luthori are the largest military powers in Artania), as a means of assisting in the training of our armed forces or for limited protection. |

Message | In line with nations of our military ranking we suggest our current active armed forces personnel numbers 300,000 (approx 0.3% total population) with a further 150,000 reservists. This should be split across the 4 main branches - army, navy, air force, and marines. |
