===Task Group Gemini===
Task Group Gemini ([[Burgoignesc language|Burg]]: Groupe Travaille Gemini (GT Gemini)) is a LUDC standing {{wpl|minesweeping|mine countermeasures}} immediate reaction force. Its role is to provide LUDC with an immediate operational response capability for active mine sweeping in the southestern [[Odoneru Ocean]], the [[Sea of Canete]], and the northwestern quadrant of the [[Sea of Istroya]]. It since [[1988]], Task Group Gemini as been assigned exclusively to [[League_of_Nations_Security_Council#Standing_Mine_Countermeasures_Task_Group_1|LoNSC Standing Mine Countermeasures Task Group 1]] and serves as its backbone.
GT Gemini was formed in [[1988]] of various naval units who were members of LUDC that were serving in [[League_of_Nations_Security_Council#Standing_Mine_Countermeasures_Task_Group_1|LoNSC Standing Mine Countermeasures Task Group 1]]. It was decided to {{wpl|Secondment|second}} these units to a singular LUDC designated commander to streamline administrate and logistical requirements on behalf of the navies of origin for the participating ships.
GT Gemini currently consists of the following ships:

==Initiatives and branches==
==Initiatives and branches==
=== Unified Operations-Logistics Initiative ===
The Unified Operations-Logistics Initiative (UOLI) is an effort by the Levantine Union Defense Council to streamline both operational and logistical efforts of the militaries of the Council's member states. This includes a dual-faceted approach: the first of which includes creation of shared armament and munition standards between the members, while the second of which focuses on consulting with member states and creating recommended organizational restructuring, particularly for the [[Deric States]] and [[Anglei]]. The munitions standardization effort was started numerous times throughout the existence of the [[Levantia and Odoneru Treaty Association]], the Defense Council's predecessor, but was never fully implemented; consequently, many weapons in use by LUDC members often include compatibility or modularity to use several different calibers of bullet or shell.
The [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] effort in support of the Unified Operations-Logistics Initiative is called [[21st Century Burgoignesc Power Projection Stratagem]] ([[Burgoignesc language|Burg:]] ''Prepaus Reestructuride Estrategic Globale della segle XXI (PREG-XXI)''. Specifically [[Burgoignesc 21st Century Global Strategic Restructuring Plan#Operation Cavum Fundamentum|Operation Cavum Fundamentum]], through which the [[Navy of Burgundie]] is restructuring its organization to task forces, quick strike packages, mostly logistics, with less combat units. Through its [[Burgoignesc 21st Century Global Strategic Restructuring Plan#Automate 2028 Initiative|Automate 2028 Initiative]] the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] [[Burgundian Security Forces#Civil Defense and Security Ministry|Civil Defense and Security Ministry]] are partnering with private sector companies across the [[Levantine Union]] to deliver an autnomous supply chain with a high level of resiliency and with a frithening level of efficency.
=== Foreign Basing Initiative ===
The Levantine Union Defense Council's Foreign Basing Initiative (FBI) was created as part of the initial organization of the body in 2018. The program allows for streamlined basing of military personnel in territories of Levantine Union member states which are not members of the Union, with specific intention being to allow Levantine Union members to station forces in the overseas possessions of [[Urcea]] and [[Burgundie]].
The [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] effort in support of the FBI is called [[Burgoignesc 21st Century Global Strategic Restructuring Plan|PREG-XXI]]. Specifically [[Burgoignesc 21st Century Global Strategic Restructuring Plan#Operation Cavum Fundamentum|Operation Cavum Fundamentum]], through which the [[Navy of Burgundie]] has invited a contingent from [[Yonderre]] to cohabitate one of its salt water installations on [[Wintergen]].
===Vandarch Sea Guard===
===Vandarch Sea Guard===
The Vandarch Sea Guard is the integrated multinational military unit of the [[Levantine Union]] responsible for naval defense, {{wp|maritime security}}, {{wp|search and rescue}}, and {{wp|law enforcement}} within Levantine Union territorial waters of the [[Vandarch]]. It is comprised of the naval and maritime security forces of [[Anglei]], [[Hollona and Diorisia]], and [[Yonderre]], as well as a portion of [[Fiannria]]'s [[Navy of the Commonwealth]].

===Foreign Services Element===
===Foreign Services Element===
The Foreign Services Element is an initiative within the Levantine Union Defense Council that allows officers to transfer to serve in the [[Royal and Confederate Army (New Harren)|Royal and Confederate Army]] of [[New Harren]] while on active service. The Foreign Services Element is an extremely competitive program, and service in New Harren is considered prestigious and career enhancing.

===Restitution Amendment===
The Restitution Amendment was an amendment made to the [[LOTA]] charter in [[1989]] which resolves to continue to exempt [[Burgundie]] from having a standing army in [[Levantia]], but in lieu of that, requires it to increase its financial and troop commitments to the [[LOTA]] (This agreement was transferred to the structure of the LUDC following the dissolution of LOTA). This was the agreement arrived at in lieu of [[Burgundie]] having to pay reparations to [[Urcea]] directly for the latter's involvement in the [[Second Great War]] and [[Operation Kipling]] "to an extraordinary degree even for allies as close as [[Burgundie]] and [[Urcea]], on behalf of the interests of [[Burgundie]] and not always in line with the national goals of [[Urcea]]." which was a hot topic political platform for some conservative and nationalist parties in the 1980s in [[Urcea]].
===Bar-barrier===
The collection of missile defense systems across the LUDC nations colloquially called the Barbarian barrier, or the Bar-barrier. It is a central hub of surveillance and targetting data used by [[Burgundie]]'s [[Hypaspistai Projectile Defense Network]], [[Fiannria]], [[Urcea]], and [[Yonderre]]. These four countries collectively cover most of the [[Deric States]] who pay additional dues for the maintenance of the system to defend them. The system does not own or operate any missile defense aparatus but is a clearing house for data used by the individual countries. All of the [[Deric States]] share information with the Bar-barrier system despite their lack of capability to act on the information in their own right.
The Bar-barrier was proposed by Crown Princess of Burgundie, Princess Amelia as part of her [[21st_Century_Burgoignesc_Power_Projection_Stratagem#Military_Modernization_Initiatives|21st Century Burgoignesc Power Projection Stratagem]] and adopted in [[2028]].
===Network Interface Initiative===
The Network Interface Initiative is a series of limited permissions and interoperability between {{wp|network-centric warfare}} systems used by LUDC members. It was started by was proposed by Crown Princess of Burgundie, Princess Amelia as part of her [[21st_Century_Burgoignesc_Power_Projection_Stratagem#Military_Modernization_Initiatives|21st Century Burgoignesc Power Projection Stratagem]] and adopted in [[2031]]. Currently, the military with this capability are [[Burgundie]] ([[HERMES Collaborative Combat Network]]), but the protocols of the Network Interface Initiative will allow for other LUDC militaries to securely liaise with the system when they have a similar capability.
