Copake: Difference between revisions

Copake has organized the Northeastern Army and Northeastern Air Corps to serve as the nation's ground and air forces. Originally intended to be fully staffed by [[2040]], the country has brought in significant numbers of [[Algosh_Republic#Algosh_abroad|Algosh expatriates]], who make up a thin majority of the personnel of both branches. The Northeastern Army is comprised of 9,000 men organized into three brigades. The Northeastern Air Corps is comprised of 1,200 men primarily operating helicopters. Due to the availability of experienced Algosh manpower, Copake has debated the possibility of expanding the military in the future far beyond what would be considered a proportionally sized military for a country with a population of less than a million people. The Copake government has reached an agreement to buy significant military surplus from [[Urcea]] to initially equip the military and is actively contracting with manufacturers in [[Urcea]] for replacement parts as well as upgrades. Like many other Cronan armed forces, the three brigades of the Northeastern Army are intended to be incorporated within larger Urcean [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] formations as part of [[NSTA]]'s [[Nysdra_Sea_Treaty_Association#Defense_Coordination_Initiative_(DCI)|Defense Coordination Initiative]] in the event of armed conflict. In the event of invasion, the Northeastern Army is intended to delay any invading army and ensure Copake's sovereignty remains in tact until the arrival of the Royal and Imperial Army in force.
