His Majesty's Ground Forces

His Majesty’s Ground Forces are the land warefare branch of the His Majesty’s Armed Forces of Kazuliain the Kingdom of Kazulia. It was formed in June 3111, along with the other service branches of the Armed Forces of Kazulia, and is the smallest of the both. His Majesty’s Ground Forces or simply Royal Ground Forces like the whole Armed Forces of Kazulia are governed by the Monarch which is the ultimate deciding figure in commands during war, and the Ministry of Defense which allocates spending and projects.

Recruitment
The Army mainly recruits within the Kingdom of Kazulia; it normally has a recruitment target of around 12,000 soldiers per year. With low amounts of un-employment in the Kingdom ofKazulia since the major recruitment which began as they forces were created, has made it difficult to continually enlist soldiers into the military. Currently as law stands, everyone after finish of schooling (including collage and universities, etc) must serve a full term in the Army, or any of the other service branches. On this, the Army has gained many members, and is much more popular than the other branches in terms of after schooling recruitment due to its short training and serving time. The minimum recruitment age is 16 years, although soldiers may not serve on operations below 18 years. The normal term of engagement is 22 years, and, once enlisted, soldiers are not normally permitted to leave until they have served at least 4 years.

Training establishments

 * Royal Military Academy (RMA) is the officer training establishment. All officers, regular and reserve, attend RMA at some point in their training.
 * Royal School of Artillery (RSA) trains the Royal Artillery.
 * Royal School of Military Engineering (RSME) trains the Corps of Royal Engineers as well as personnel from across the Armed Forces and other Government Departments in a variety of general engineering and specialist skills.

Oath of Allegiance
All soldiers must take an oath of allegiance upon joining the Army, a process known as attestation. Those who believe in God, and wish to swear by Him, use the following words:

I (name), swear by Almighty God that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to His Majesty his heirs and successors and that I will as in duty bound honestly and faithfully defend His Majesty, his heirs and successors in person, crown and dignity against all enemies and will observe and obey all orders of His Majesty, his heirs and successors and of the generals and officers set over me.

Armed Fighting Vehicles
The Royal Ground Forces, maintain a large amount of different Armed Fighting Vehicles. These, are armored like normal fighting tanks but have been modernized for also different purposes Reconnaissance and Surveillance, or transportation of soldiers. Serving literally two purposes, as a tank and their other unique feature they are the most modern equipment of any military currently on Terra.

Mounted Combat System
The XM1202 Mounted Combat System is a Kazulian Ground Forces tank. The Mounted Combat System (MCS) provides both direct and Beyond-Line-of-Sight (BLOS) offensive firepower capability, and for in-depth destruction of point targets up to 8 km (5 mi) away. This requires the use of an integrated sensor network to detect enemy forces. The MCS has a crew of two and are armed with a 120 mm main gun, a .50 caliber machine gun, and a 40 mm automatic grenade launcher. The MCS is intended to deliver precision fire at a rapid rate, in order to destroy multiple targets at standoff ranges quickly, and to complement the other systems in the unit of action. It is capable of providing direct support to the dismounted infantry in an assault, defeating bunkers, and breaching walls during tactical assaults. It is also intended to be highly mobile, in order to maneuver out of contact and into positions of advantage; given the vehicle's light weight, this is especially important. The common MGV chassis is required to provide full protection from 30 mm and 45 mm cannon fire in a 60 degree arc opening towards the front of the vehicle. 360 degree protection from small arms fire up to 14.5 mm heavy machine gun and 155 mm artillery shell air-bursts was planned. Protection from higher caliber rounds as well as anti-tank guided missiles would be provided by an active protection system manufactured by Raytheon known as "Quick Kill". The MCS consists of the common Manned Ground Vehicle chassis and autoloading line-of-sight and BLOS capability. The Royal Ground Forces operate 2,700 of these tanks.

Non-Line-of-Sight Cannon
The XM1203 Non-Line-of-Sight Cannon (NLOS Cannon) is a mobile 155 mm cannon intended to provide improved responsiveness and lethality to the "unit of action" commander. This self-propelled armored artillery piece provides networked, extended-range targeting, and precision attack of point and area targets in support of other combat units with a suite of munitions that include special purpose capabilities. The Non-Line-of-Sight Cannon provides sustained fire for close support and destructive fire for tactical standoff engagement. The system's primary purpose is to provide responsive fire in support of the FCS Combined Arms Battalions (CABs), and their subordinate units in concert with line-of-sight, Beyond-Line-of-Sight (BLOS), Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS), external and Joint capabilities. The systems advantages is the ability to switch shell types quickly on a one by one basis allowing an illumination round to be followed by a point detonation round, to be followed by an area effect round. This gives the system the ability to fire different rounds as required by different fire calls or to change types of shells. For instance, destroying a building then engaging anyone fleeing the area with the next round. The rate of fire in the system would enable more rounds sent downrange in a given amount of time allowing more fire power per system. Another capability offered by the NLOS Cannon is the Multiple Rounds Simultaneous Impact mission or MRSI (pronounced mercy) mission. A MRSI mission is where the cannon fires several rounds at different trajectories allowing the rounds to impact on the same target at the same time, resulting in little or no reaction time for the enemy to adjust its position. The Royal Ground Forces operate 890 Cannons.

Non-Line-of-Sight Mortar
The XM1204 Non-Line-of-Sight Mortar (NLOS-M) is a turreted, self-propelled mortar vehicle with a four person crew. It is capable of firing at targets outside of the crew's line of sight (known as indirect fire). The NLOS-M has a breech-loaded L454 that fired 120 mm mortar munitions including the Precision Guided Mortar Munition (PGMM). It has a fully automated firing control system and a manually-assisted, semi-automated ammunition loading system. It uses a crew of 3. The NLOS-M provides fires on-demand to engage complex and simultaneous target sets. As part of an NLOS-M battery, individual NLOS-M vehicles will provide precision-guided rounds to destroy high-value targets, protective fires to suppress and obscure the enemy, and illumination fires. All of these will be in close support of infantry maneuver units. The FCS command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) network enables the NLOS-M fire control system to conduct semi- to autonomous computation of technical fire direction, automatic gun lay, preparation of the ammunition for firing, and mortar round firing. The Royal Ground Forces operate 750.

Recovery and maintenance Vehicle
The XM1205 Field Recovery and Maintenance Vehicle (FRMV) is the recovery and maintenance system for employment within both the unit of action (UA) and unit of employment (UE) and contributes to sustaining and generating combat power to the Future Force structure. Each UA will have a small number of 2-3 man combat repair teams within the organic Forward Support Battalion (FSB) to perform field maintenance requirements beyond the capabilities of the crew chief/crew, more in-depth battle damage assessment repair (BDAR), and limited recovery operations. The recovery vehicle is designed to hold a crew of three with additional space for three additional recovered crew. The FRMV has a close combat support weapon (CCSW) and a 40 mm Mk 19 grenade launcher. The Royal Ground Forces operate 160 of these vehicles.

Infantry Carrier Vehicle
The XM1206 Infantry Carrier Vehicle (ICV) is a set of similar vehicles for transporting and supporting ground troops. The ICV featured a crew of 2 and space for 9 passengers. It is armed with a 30 mm MK44 cannon and a 7.62 mm machine gun. The ICV consists of four platform versions: a Company Commander; a Platoon Leader; a Rifle Squad; and a Weapons Squad. All four platform versions have similar exteriors to prevent targeting of a specific ICV versions. The Rifle Squad ICV and Weapons Squad ICV each deliver 9-person infantry squads to a close battle and support the squad by providing offensive and defensive fire, while carrying the majority of the soldiers' equipment. The ICV can move, shoot, communicate, detect threats, and protect crew and critical components under all climatic conditions, day or night. The squad would have access to Army and joint fire delivery systems from external sources (e.g. the XM1203 Non-Line-of-Sight Cannon) to enhance the squad's range, precision, or quantity of fire. Networking with other components of the unit of action permits rapid identification of targets and improves situational awareness. The Royal Ground Forces operate 800 of these vehicles.

Medical Vehicle
The XM1207/8 Medical Vehicle is designed to provide advanced trauma life support within 1 hour to critically injured soldiers. The Medical Vehicle serves as the primary medical system within the unit of action (UA) and will have two mission modules: Evacuation and Treatment. The time-sensitive nature of treating critically injured soldiers requires an immediately responsive force health protection system with an expedient field evacuation system. The XM1207 FCS Medical Vehicle-Evacuation (MV-E) vehicle allows trauma specialists, maneuvering with combat forces, to be closer to the casualty’s point-of-injury and is used for casualty evacuation. The XM1208 Medical Vehicle-Treatment (MV-T) vehicle enhances the ability to provide Advanced Trauma Management (ATM)/Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) treatments and procedures forward for more rapid casualty interventions and clearance of the battle space. The Royal Ground Forces operate 500 of these vehicles.

Command and Control Vehicle
The XM1209 Command and Control Vehicle (C2V) is to provide for information management of the integrated network of communications and sensor capability within the unit of action and provides the tools for commanders to synchronize their knowledge of combat power with the human dimension of leadership. It is located within the headquarters sections at each echelon of the unit of action down to the company level, and with the integrated command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) suite of equipment, it provides commanders command and control on the move. The C2Vs contain all the interfaces required to enable the commander to leverage the power of the C4ISR network and provides the means for leaders at all levels to achieve information superiority and situational understanding and to establish, maintain and distribute a common operating picture fused from the friendly, enemy, civilian, weather and terrain situations while on the move. The crew uses its integrated C4ISR suite (communication, computers and sensor systems) to receive, analyze and transmit tactical information via voice, video and data inside and outside the unit of action. The C2V can also employ unmanned systems, such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to enhance situational awareness throughout the unit of action. 150 are operated by the Royal Ground Forces.

Locomotive Artillery
The Lourennian Ground Forces have a rather small amount of mobile and towed artillery. As all the other equipment in the Lourennian Armed Forces, these are the most advanced and modern weapons in the world currently. This in mind, even a small amount of the Locomotive Artillery proves itself as lethal and harsh against its enemies. The Lourennian artillery consists of:

(Along with 550 resupplying vehicles)
 * H-BK1 - 550 Howitzer (Self Propelled) - 550


 * M-1H - 145 (Towed) - 800
 * H-111 - 596 (Towed) - 745
 * S-236 - 755 (Towed) - 245

Rocket Artillery:


 * RA-1 - 125
 * RASS - 45
 * RA-2 - 248

Nuclear Warheads
It is exactly unknown how many warheads the Kingdom of Kazulia has, but it is reported that some 4,500 active nuclear war heads. It is reported that another 10,000 may lay in storage making Kazulia have one of the largest nuclear stockpiles on Terra. Some estimated double the amount listed above - while other sources say Kazulia only has a couple hundred nuclear missiles and warheads. However, the nuclear capability of Kazulia still remains a mystery and may cause danger to its neighbors if Kazulia does have many active warheads.
