Dear Citizens of the United Kingdom,
Over the coming week the military shall be entering a reform period. This reform is being enacted at the behest of my MoD, as well as from recommendation by many of my military advisers, and by those at the top of the military chain of command. The new Military will be more streamlined, more active, and much more ready to deal with the trials of Version 2. I believe these changes are necessary to ensure our V2 readiness as a country, as well as ensuring the activity of our armed forces remain at peak levels.
We shall be moving from a military with two distinct branches into one where people can
progress within an umbrella branch. As their skill and strength increases so do their
weapons, making us a more damage efficient country, laying down the most amount of
damage we can at possible battles.
The basis of these reforms will be basing the military upon the British Army.
The Army will be divided into 3 branches:
## Army Training Centre ##
This branch will be where people apply to the Army. They will be taught basic game
mechanics, how the army operates and some basic IRC knowledge as IRC activity is
essential to be in the Army.
## British Army ##
This will be the bulk branch of the military. The key to this branch will be its strength
in numbers and mobility.
All members of the Army will be IRC active, receiving weapons, moving tickets and orders
through IRC.
We feel that in V2 the more organised and co-ordinated army will be the victor. Having theArmy on IRC allows us to do that.
The Army will be divided into 4 section, Infantry, Royal Artillery, Royal Armoured Corps and
Army Air Corps. Soldiers will be places in these sections ready for V2 so we can
hit the ground running and make our army the most adaptable in the new world.
Note: We have ideas to help co-ordinate the population that do not use IRC.
## Special Air Service ##
This will be the elite section of the UK military. Strong, quick and medium sized.
As they are stronger it stands to reason that they have a higher skill as well, this
means they can work in higher quality companies making better weapons for more damage.
The SAS will be IRC active where they will get orders, supply and co-ordination.
The SAS will have 4 sections where each section will mean a certain skill in V2, tank,
infantry, artillery or helicopter. SAS Soldiers will take up the skill where they are
placed.
The requirements for the SAS are either rank of Field Marshal or General with
strength of 15.
Over the coming week Royal Navy members will be asked to come on IRC and query
Tom_Morgan, Polio or RRNapier and tell them their desired strength skill, they will then
be transferred into that area of the Army. After one week the Royal Navy section on the
hub will be deleted and anyone who did not transfer will be considered inactive.
Also, as part of these reforms, the role of Minister of Defence will be dissolved and
the previous role of Chief of the Defence Staff shall be renamed Chief of the General
Staff, who will run the military.
If you are in the military, please see the private forums for more information.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and remember, we can only move forward as a united group, a truly United Kingdom!

>sound very american
>ROYAL army
danielcox, you might want to check rl wikipedia, these are pretty british 🙂
Sexy reforms are sexy.
Military reforms? Shuffling divisions? Dissolving positions?
What is this, the IDF?
Why have we gone back from a three stage Navy>Marines>SF to two stage? I thought the three stages worked pretty well.
That sounds remarkably like a JB slogan...
V2 BATTLE SCREEN SHOT – Sneak Peek

I managed to read, digest and understand this article in less than 2 minutes - so it PASSED the test!
I would be interested to understand where/how individuals like me (with 30+ strength) who for various reasons are unable to undertake mobile operations outside of eUK. In my eUK life, I have only ever left these shores once - and that time was part of the operation to liberate Northern Ireland!

My knickers are damp.
Did you steal JB's V2 Ready note book?
Sonicslice, the eUK military team have been brainstorming and discussing military reform for months now, this is nothing to do with the political spectrum.

Apologies if my attempt at humour based on the presentation of some ideas came across as anything but an attempt at humour based on the presentation of said ideas, the ideas themselves I don't have any particular comment on. Apologies that you are so insecure in the ideas that you need to clarify to some nobody that they were yours in the first place. regards.
Interesting and long overdue.
Also smells a lot like what I've been suggesting ought to happen since last autumn 😉
GLADOS&eUKMILITARYMAXXX!!! \o/
Seems fair!
Yay army, much more cooler than the navy 😃
Voted on and signed! Long live Britain
"Apologies that you are so insecure in the ideas that you need to clarify to some nobody that they were yours in the first place. regards."
I was in fact only saying that these were military ideas rather than Glados's. Obviously i managed to insult you hence your utterly retarded reply, so for that i am sorry.
Also protip, dont try and be funny, you're not very good at it and end up sounding like a twat. 🙂
Please invade eIreland, we wat a Q5 just like the one you gave Norway 😃
Just one question - will recruitment now actually work (unlike with the Navy where I've spent a week trying to even get an acknowledgment that I applied and have still heard nothing!!)
Artela you are already in the Navy on a training ship, you need to go on the hub to find out what to do next.
nice like the idea,but accept my citizenship so i can fight for the queen and our land!
Come on , give us a war !
So this is why you won't keep your promises Glados..... miltiary reforms? awwwwwwww
Cool
Good reforms in theory, I hope the actually is the same!
I'm sad to see the Navy go. If they bring in the Navy later on I'm going to be in that but for now, it's armour for me.
