Tali Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Military Doctrine on Earth the Alliance consider's itself a "sleeping giant" as only 3% of the population volunteers for military service(this does not include Conscription and Reserves). They make up for low numbers with sophisticated technical support in the form of VIs, drones, artillery, and electronic warfare, and emphasis on mobility and individual initiative. Their military doctrine is not based on absorbing and dishing out heavy shocks like some foreign entities. Rather, they bypass enemy strong points and launch deep into their rear, cutting supply lines and logistics, destroying headquarters and support units, leaving enemies to "wither on the vine". On defense, the Alliance military lives by Sun Tzu's maxim, "He who tries to defend everything defends nothing." Only token garrisons are placed on their colonies. These are intended for scouting rather than combat, avoiding engagement to observe and report on invaders using drones. However, the Alliance stations powerful strike groups so that in the event of an attack they respond with overwhelming force. The token garrisons of cities make it easy for foreign powers to secure them, for which the Alliance media criticizes the military. However, the powerful strike groups stationed at key strategic locations are just a few hours or days from any colony within their sphere of responsibility. In the event of an attack, they respond with overwhelming force. Alliance Military Ranks The Alliance uses a modified version of the ranking system that has been used for hundreds of years. Soldiers are classified into rank-and-file enlisted personnel, experienced non-commissioned officers (NCOs), and specially trained officers. The divide between naval personnel and ground forces ('marines') is small. Ground units are a specialized branch of the fleet, just as fighter squadrons are. This unity of command is imposed by the futility of fighting without control of orbit; without the navy, any army is pointless. The marines, as a matter of pride, maintain some of their traditional rank titles; for example, marines have Privates and Corporals instead of Servicemen. In ascending order of responsibility, the ranks of the Alliance are: ENLISTED Serviceman 3rd Class / Private 2nd Class Serviceman 2nd Class / Private 1st Class Serviceman 1st Class / Corporal NCOs Service Chief Gunnery Chief Operations Chief OFFICERS 2nd Lieutenant 1st Lieutenant Staff Lieutenant Lieutenant Commander Staff Commander Captain / Major Rear Admiral / General Admiral Fleet Admiral Government: The Alliance is responsible for the governance and defense of all member-states human colonies and represents the member-states on the galactic stage. It is a supranational government, and is based on a parliamentary system, with the Alliance Parliament being based at Arcturus Station once completed. Until then, all Administrative will be held in Tokyo. With that, the Systems Alliance have began colonization efforts on a few planets in the Galactic Stage, with the first colony being assigned to Eden Prime in the Utopia System.
