Description[?]:
| OOC Overview this review, should be known as the "Front Report" in RP. Ministry of Defense March 4263 Executive Summary Historically, Malivia has had a stable an efficient Armed force and has participated in numerous conflicts generally as the victor but mostly to political happenstance and not military achievement. General Overview I. Manpower Our review of the Malivian Armed Forces found that, as of March 4263, there were 220.000 in the Army, 95.000 in the Navy,110.000 in the Air Force and 90.000 in the Logistical Corps , for a combined number of active personnel of 505.000 men and women. There were 190.000 in the Army Reserves, 85.000 in the Navy Reserves, 75.000 in the Air Force Reserves and no reserves for the Logistical Corps it being fully professional, for a combined number of 350.000 men and women in reserve.. The total population of Malivia, as of March 4263, is 99,844,545. By finding the number of people in the work force, defined as men and women between the ages of 15 and 65, in each constituency, we were able to calculate Malivias available manpower at 42.000.000 from them around 35.500.000 are fit for service. Annually due to current Malivian law, All adults upon completion of schooling must serve a term in the military, but can shorten their term/forego it completely by paying a certain amount of money. Since conscientious objectors can be exempted from combatant roles, but not from non-combatant roles the military strictly uses the extra personnel to free fit for combat troops. The size of Malivias military, in terms of active personnel, reserve personnel, and those fit for service in the "available manpower" group, is strong relative to our neighboring nations and most nations in Terra. II. Armament and Equipment Due to current Malivian law, the government owns national defense industries which exist alongside privately owned defense industries. As a result, the continued supply of equipment and armaments to the Malivian Armed Forces appears stable, without cause for concern for potential impediments. The weapons currently in use by the military after phase I and II of the modernization plans are getting better but have created huge gaps that need to be filled after we sold old equipment to recuperate costs. Phase III of the modernization plan designed to alleviate that problem progresses but has encountered its own problems, primarily the lack of technical know how to build machines of heavily Trigunian and Indralan origins. III. Appropriations The GDP of the Free State of Malivia, as of March 4263, is 650,555,124,866 MCR. The government's budget is 312,500,100,000 MCR. The budget for the Ministry of Defense is 15 Billion MCR a year. Conclusion Based upon the findings in this report, we find that the Malivian Armed Forces are able to defend the homeland against a foreign attack theoretically if the invading force comes from an equal strength nation. The size of the military is stable and improving in a rapid rate for the past 2 decades, we believe the Army, the Navy,the Air Force and the Logistical Corps are well-trained but not well equipped for campaigning outside our borders. We also express the NIS achievements in fortifying and securing our nations Power Grid and expanding our nations Cyber Abilities. We reaffirm that continued changes in policy and greater government focus on defense will greatly improve the state of Malivias military over the next decade and beyond. This, coupled with a more active and engaging foreign policy, including broadening Malivias alliance system, will also vastly expand Malivias ability to project military power throughout Terra, aiding in protecting our national interests both regionally and internationally. |
