Captain Enema Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) [b]Belfast[/b] "Sir Hawkwood, we are pleased you could join us here today," Prime Minister Best said quietly. "I'm quite pleased to be at your service," replied Sir Johnathan Hawkwood. "What news do you bring of our Army, Air Force, and Navy?" the Prime Minister asked patiently. "Quite good news in fact, we are short on modern equipment, but not on trained manpower it seems," the distinguished looking Hawkwood replied. "Excellent, make your report, my assistant will take notes."

An Active Reserve Division has 50 percent of its strength ready to deploy at all times. A Regular Division has 75 percent of its strength ready to deploy at all times with 25 percent undergoing training and refitting. Pertinent equipment facts: 597 tanks ranging from the British Challenger Tank to the Chieftain. 114 Combat Aircraft ranging from the Harrier 2 Jump Jet to the F-16. Most units field a variety of rifles, pistols, mortars, and so forth. Radar and other long distance sensors are 25 years out of date and need immediate replacement. Naval forces consist of two patrol boats. Pertinent Manpower facts: Nearly all the listed units are at 25 percent strength. Reserve forces exist in sufficient quantities to rectify the manpower crisis as soon as equipment becomes available for all branches of the military. Training staff has been located for the Northern Irish Defense Training Command that will provide training to the Northern Irish Defense Forces. Current Defense Projects: An advance radar system is being procured and installed that uses the latest in AESA technology. A dedicated landline system is being sourced to give our military forces an independent means of communications. A Northern Irish European Air Traffic Movement Group is being organized to analyze and monitor local and international air traffic for the purpose of providing an early warning against an air attack from a European power. The Northern Irish Nuclear Forces have come on line and are currently fielding 20 ICBMs each equipped with a single nuclear warhead. A full scale training exercise is being planned for the Northern Irish Defense Forces at the end of this month.

Captain Enema Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Internal supply sources have provided sufficient rifles, light machine guns, and pistols to begin a serious effort of rearming the troops currently in the field. The rifles and light machine guns use a 6.8 mm round that gives the operator an assault gun round with an extra edge in stopping and penetration power not found in the 5.56 round. Sufficient stockpiles of ammunition are being manufactured to keep the Northern Irish Defense Force in the field for an extended period.

Captain Enema Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 (edited) The following units are being equipped with highly versatile and air mobile Infantry Fighting Vehicle. The Terrex AV81 Infantry Fighting Vehicle will allow the The Newry Brigade Combat Team, The Omagh Brigade Combat Team, and The Coleraine Lancers Brigade Combat Team to deploy quickly as rapid response forces. Some of these vehicles are being fitted with the 105 mm Mobility Gun System and others are being outfitted with the SPIKE ATGM system. Each and every single Terrex IFV is being outfitted with a AMAP-ADS Active Protection system , laser detection systems, and a passive defense system. While the rapid response brigades are being equipped with the swift moving Terrex, the rest of the Irish Defense Force is being equipped with the Narner Infantry Fighting Vehicle that is believed more suitable full scale armored force.

Captain Enema Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 The hulls for the new Irish Navy Destroyers to be named the Ulysses Class. The ships are of a modern design and will be one of the pillars of Ireland's foreign presences in distant parts of the world. Twenty four of the ships have been ordered from Irish shipyards and the orders will be filled as soon as possible. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sejong_the_Great_class_destroyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Enema Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 In an astonishing turn of events the hulls for the Irish Navy's frigates are ordered from Irish shipyards almost at the same time the destroyers are requested. The design that will fill the ranks of the Irish fleet are an advanced system that will serve Ireland well in its quest to protect it's shipping and shores from threats. A total of twenty four of these vessels will be purchased. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sachsen_class_frigate In other news a massive expansion of the Irish Navy's training program is under way to meet the demand of providing trained crews for the coming flood of ships.

Captain Enema Posted September 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) A run of 120 AV-8B Harrier 2 2nd Generation VTOLs, modernized with suite of 4.5 Generation electronics, has been authorized. By fielding the Harrier 2 the Irish Navy and Irish Air Forces will gain valuable experience in flying and maintaining VTOL before a more advanced design is fielded. The VTOLs are expected to undertake the task of operating off the future Irish Navy carriers and from Irish airfields in a supporting role of more powerful designs. The future VTOL is expected to be a Light Combat Aircraft in the interest of economizing on space and weight. While the aircraft is expected to be smaller it is expected to utilize 5th Generation Stealth and electronics in the interest of keeping pace with modern designs.

Captain Enema Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 The Duchy of Northern Ireland quietly ceases to exist as it integrates into the larger ranks of Irish society. A small series of local elections has created a legislative assembly with a powerful executive branch. While the Legislative Assembly has certain powers, the Head of State has sweeping powers of veto, and the power to order Irish Forces to war without consulting the Legislative Assembly. The purpose of this move is to avoid much of the ineffective leadership that comes with an overly powerful Legislature and the special interest groups that influence it. Special Interest groups in Ireland are to be monitored by a Police Organization titled the Irish Political Inspectorate. The IPP is tasked with ensuring corruption of the political parties and so forth is kept at a minimum. The penalties for accepting bribes as a politician or giving favors as a politician are particularly harsh. The minimum sentence being five years hard labor and confiscation of all personal property. Further, term limits for the Legislative Assembly and the Head of State roles are capped to ensure there is a constant stream of fresh new faces to reinvigorate the halls of power and to avoid stagnation. In other quarters the arming of the Irish Defense Force with rifles and light machine guns of the 6.8 caliber is completed. The 6th Reserve Corp is ordered to active duty to accept recruits from the larger population of the now unified Ireland. Until there is a full integration of forces the majority of the Irish Defense Force will comprise of the men of the Northern Ireland region. Thus far there has been no religious motivated violence between civilians or members of the Irish Defense Force in regards to the age old Irish problem of Catholics and Protestants just not getting along all that well. To ensure these problems are kept to a minimum the Irish Legislative Assembly and the Prime Minister streamlined and pushed through a radical piece of legislation. The Irish Freedom Pact lists an extensive list of personal freedoms that shall never be abridged upon by state or private organizations. These rights include the woman's right to an abortion, freedom of speech and press, freedom of religion, and definite iron clad guidelines for the very distinct separation of church and state within the new Irish government. Schools, starting with primary school, are given strict orders to begin the introduction of a balanced and comprehensive study of world religions and their histories. The maths, courses in science, and literature are given just as much importance as schools are taken off the former system of merit bonuses and a system of democratic reforms are put into place. All schools in Ireland are expected to meet certain standards. Those that could are given a plague to put on the wall and a hearty congratulations. Those that can't are visited by a stern faced group of educational experts who are tasked with bringing those scores up to par by training of the teachers and special funding grants to improve the school's physical plant and library. Often problems in the home are a concern and the teams sent to rectify the educational shortcomings are equipped with a high powered social worker who is tasked with making specific funding recommendations for local areas to improve economic situations to relief stress in the home life. Not all problems in the home can be cured by finding new jobs and in those houses a comprehensive set of wrap around services are made available to surround the child and family by members of the local community and government with people who want to help improve the child and family's lot in life. To that end health care and adult educational reforms are pushed through the Legislative Assembly as well. Ireland will not have a full set of Nationally offered health care. What Ireland will offer is a minimum set of health care services that are available to everyone and required for everyone at an extremely reasonable price. The fees for these services are taken directly from a person's salary, government stipend, or pension and in time the Irish would mostly stop noticing it. Additional services for medical care not covered by the Irish Health Plan can be purchased privately. These services tend to be cosmetic in nature or for access to a private doctor for in home care. Adult Education Reforms are enacted to ensure that the workers of Ireland can remain competitive in a rapidly changing world. Subsidized training can be found at a series of regional training centers that are being opened. Industrial, medical, educational, and a wide array of fields are being opened to the Irish workers with these offerings. The training courses are designed to provide high quality courses and at the same time a sentimental streak of requiring a small selection of courses for self-improvement in the arts and sciences are demanded as well. The purpose being that a well learned worker is more likely to speak out and propose improvements to productivity and safety should they feel confident in their skills and feel well rounded due to an education that is more robust than a sterile technical course. The last bit of business covered by the Irish Assembly is the Government Accountants Organization and it's powers of police. The Government Accountants Organization is tasked with ensuring the Irish tax payers are not being defrauded by waste and corruption. The GTO has powers of the police and can make arrests in the event they discover fraud or corruption. This revolutionary organization is expected to sweep the ranks of Ireland's government like a tsunami and given the penalties for corruption and abuse of government funds, it's expected to end up being one of the few Irish Governmental Organizations that doesn't operate at a loss to the tax payers. Pertinent Manpower Facts *Irish Navy is at 25 percent *Irish Army is at 76 percent *Irish Air Force now fields 90 AV-B Harrier 2 Air Craft and 120 F-16 Fighting Falcons and stands at 25 percent Pertinent Military and CivilianInfrastructure Improvement Facts *AESA radar improvements are progressing and are 20 percent complete. *A series of hidden silos are being made for the Irish Nuclear Arsenal and conventional ICBM fleet. *Four regional command centers are being considered for the purposes of a distributed command, control, and communications network. *A dedicated Military Intranet is being constructed. *The Irish Space Program has opened its doors and is hiring staff with the short term goal of launching satellites and putting men in space. The majority of the technical support will come from Irish Universities as the actual need for a man in space is minimal given the Lunar Republic's ability to move cargo with such ease. Therefore the Irish Space Program is more of an educational research organization for aspiring scientists and engineers. Their other function is to create relationships abroad with other Space going nations to move Irish cargo into orbit at a much better price than can be had by building rockets for such a purpose.

Captain Enema Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Wind tunnel testing of the Harrier 3 Super Harrier began today. The 6th and 7th Corp are pushed into Southern bases and ordered to take on new recruits from the former Kingdom of Ireland. While this will significantly retard their growth as formed units, the rest of the available corps are at nearly 75 percent readiness and much more able to cope with a sudden influx of barely trained recruits. The Rapid Response Brigades are fully equipped with personal weapons, equipment, and heavy equipment and are certified as fully ready for foreign deployment.

Captain Enema Posted September 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Wind tunnel tests on the Super Harrier prove unsatisfactory. The model would not return to a normal flight path on it's own accord proving the design to be highly unstable. The design team is notified and ordered to try again. The Irish AESA is coming close to being completed. Once this is finished an integrated system of distributed CCC centers, OTH radars, and AESA subunits will be formalized. The Irish Defense Force shows all units strengths at 81 percent and growing. Training is proceeding on schedule and the systematic equipping of the IDF with standardized weapons, uniforms, armor, and so forth is increasing unit test scores in several areas.

Captain Enema Posted September 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 The first of four of twenty four destroyers are delivered to the Irish Navy today. With them are two frigates that have just been completed. Troop strengths are now set at 93 percent. Main Battle Tanks and Combat Support Vehicles are coming off the assembly lines in sufficient numbers to begin a full re-arming of the Irish Defense Force Armored Units. A proper top to bottom review of the Irish Defense Forces will begin within the month to ensure no duplication of services is occurring.

Captain Enema Posted September 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 The Irish Defense Force is given a numerical organization to move away from the previous system that is a bit too Northern Irish centered in nature. The new unit designations are as follows: 1st Corp 1st Division 2nd Division 3rd Division 4th Division 5th Division 2nd Corp 6th Division 7th Division 8th Division 9th Division 10th Division 3rd Corp 11th Division 12th Division 13th Division 14th Division 15th Division 4th Corp 16th Division 17th Division 18th Division 19th Division 20th Division 5th Corp 21st Division 22nd Division 23rd Division 24th Division 25th Division 6th Corp The Ulsteria Brigade Combat Team The Hibernia Brigade Combat Team The 1st Royal Irish Regiment The 2nd Royal Irish Regiment The Irish Lancers Brigade Combat Team The Royal Irish Rangers 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Regiments The Royal Irish Marines Division 7th Corp Active Reserve Companies 1-100 Inactive Reserve Pool Man Power Report: All Irish Defense Units are 100 percent manned, all Irish Navy Units that have been delivered are fully manned, all Irish Air Force Units that are operating in the field are fully manned, all Irish Air and Coastal Defense Units are fully manned, and the recruit training depots outside of Dublin are operating at full capacity. The Cathal Brugha Barracks has opened its doors again and the fielding of the National Police, or the Guardia once again transpired. Equipment Report: 120 Harrier 2 Aircraft are in service 96 F-16 Fighters are in service 8 Pearse Class Destroyers 6 Clarke Class Frigates 173 Bushmills Main Battle Tanks 498 Assorted Combat Support Vehicles 600 Terrex Armored Vehicles Research and Development: A wide array of early warning systems are being investigated. A system of electro-optical sensors are under investigation to provide highly accurate intelligence not easily jammed by conventional measures. With this is the MTHEL air defense system that is being looked upon with the intention to fielding it as an air defense unit for sensitive positions that require a stronger level of protection. Jamming systems are being debated to ensure that an attacker has a swarm of false readings to cloud their scopes. Construction: Under the guise of civilian construction, small depots are being created for the purposes of preparing a wide array of landing sites for helicopters in the event of an emergency. Further, redundancy measures are being taken to back up the hard line communications of the Irish Defense Forces distributed defense systems by laying enough buried wire to ensure that each unit has a minimum of four independent lines that will connect to a distributed network of hubs. The three heavily armored defense centers being planned to serve as Ireland's primary hubs of defense related activities are to be reinforced by mobile command, control, and communication units that are being custom formed for this exact mission.

Captain Enema Posted September 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Eight more of the Irish Navy's Destroyers are delivered for duty. Another six frigates make their way into the hands of the Irish Navy as well. A new class of Guided Missile Cruisers are being investigated for construction or purchase depending upon the viability of the project. The Irish Air Force takes delivery of the final shipment of Harrier 2 aircraft and begins accepting the first shipment of F-22 (improved) Raptors. The Raptors are to serve as a gapfill to take the Irish Air Force into the next generation of aircraft. The Irish Army is fully armed and equipped with the appropriate equipment and vehicles needed for a first world force. Training begins in earnest to shake out the rough edges with Operation Shandy. The training Operation will last two weeks and when completed it will be formally assessed and the results distributed. Coastal Defense sites are being investigated at this time as short and long range missile sites to support the Irish Sea Fleet that will come into being once the South Americans get around to finishing the ordered Battle Cruisers that will make up the mainstay of the Irish Sea Fleet.

Captain Enema Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Irish Navy has begun taking delivery of the newly built guided missile cruisers that were previously ordered. Irish Air Force is now up to full strength with the F-22 Raptors, Harrier 2 VTOLs, and F- 16 Fighters that are serving as place holders to prepare units and the aircrewpersons within them for more advanced designs. Heavy training for both the Navy and Airforce is underway in and over the Atlantic Ocean as the units engage a series of notional enemies. Irish Army units are just concluding an extensive exercise and will be carefully reviewing the results in the coming days. Irish Government National Building projects include extensive roadway improvements, rail improvements, air defense infrastructure, and other defense critical items.

Captain Enema Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 After extensive redesign, a new model for the much discussed Super Harrier III is sent in for wind tunnel testing. The Irish Command Centers, three of them, are under construction. These are deeply embedded fortresses designed to survive a full attack in order to prevent the full collapse of Ireland's Command Control and Communications network in a time of war. Hulls for the Irish Navy Submarine fleet are being laid down along with extensive reloads of cruise missiles being built for the arming of these submarines once they are commissioned. Air and sea war fighting exercises are concluded today and the larger work of collating the data collected from those exercises commences. Results will be distributed once they are available, which will allow for the planning of future exercises in the very near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Enema Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 "The English expect us to come cap in hand to them? What are we... their dog or something?" Prime Minister George Best shouted. "Sir, it's typical of my countrymen to show such arrogance to those they feel are their inferiors," Sir Hawkwood replied. "How should I respond?" the Prime Minister asked with a veil of anger written across his face. "I'm uncertain at this point the intentions of the Albionians. They took quite a drubbing in having to change governments and for all intents and purposes kiss the bum of the Greater Germans to even be allowed to exist. Factor in the recent snub regarding Scotland and you have the recipe for a very sullen and bitter population. Could it be the Albionian government is attempting regain some of their pride by having us come to them? Does it even hurt us to go? It all depends on the message you want to send to the Albionians and their government and for that matter the rest of Europe," Sir Hawkwood counseled. "Very well, this is my response," the Prime Minister said as he extended his middle finger and pointed it out over the Irish Sea towards Albion. [quote]Dublin Daily Times "The Lord Mountbatten Memorial site is being established to praise and help us all remember the glorious action taken by brave members of the Irish Republican Army to free the world of an English Upperclass Terrorist.

Captain Enema Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 The Super Harrier III wind tunnel testing is complete and recommendations are being made as to the fine tuning of the aircraft's final design. The Irish Navy takes on their first consignment of submarines and begins sea trials with them. The Irish Air Force begins carefully upgrading regional airfields with prepositioned supplies, training reserve Irish Air Force units to service those fields, and equipping them with a modest arrangement of short/medium/long ranged air defense senors and weapons. The Irish Army begins another long exercise to prepare for an defense against an attack from the sea. Regional County Reserve Command Centers are commissioned with the ability to control, communicate, and coordinate activities within their specific county should the need arise. These Regional Command Centers are positioned within pre-existing bunkers and if needed bunkers will be created for them. The Irish Air Force prepares a Wing of air crews and pilots for the integration of the new Super Harrier III with an additional squadron for the testing of the J-20 Fighter as a replacement for the F-22. The Irish Air Defense Command is put into operation and all air defense activities involving missiles, air artillery, and ground based defenses are placed under the Air Defense Command's operation. This command is branch of the Irish Air Force and it is expected that the new organization will collect the various army, navy, and air force units that are in the field conducting air defense operations into one coherent command. The Irish Navy begins deploying SOSUS monitors in the Irish Sea and in the Atlantic to hopefully keep tabs on foreign vessels and submarines.

All tests confirm that the vessels are able to handle their design loads and have very good seakeeping abilities, and will serve your nation well in defending her waters and interests in Ireland, and beyond.[/background][/size][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3][background=rgb(247, 247, 247)]The aerial facilities at Joint Forces Base Padilla are open to transport aircraft ferrying your crews to Greater Colombia, thank you for doing business with us, and we look forward to further economic relations in the future.[/background][/size][/font][/color] [i]All the best, Lela Fuentes Head of External Sales[/i] [/quote] Once the message was received the crews assigned to these vessels are quickly put on commercial flights to Colombia. They travel in uniform and with the documentation to legally enter Colombia as transient military personnel from a foreign nation. All personal weapons are carried in locked and sealed containers and the men bearing those weapons have orders to open those containers upon request by the Colombian authorities should it be required of them to do so.
