AFFC Objective Force 2025

skeletor.jpg

Her Majesty, Queen Maria, Raises Her Arms In Triumph After the
AFFCOF Funding Bill Is Approved In the House of Lords

The Armed Forces of Free California are committed to reorganizing our manpower and equipment assets over the next decade to provide the most potent and compact force possible. Through the most rigorous training with the finest equipment on the continent, the AFFC is focused on constructing the finest professional military force on the planet.

The current AFFC TO&E displays an unwieldy goliath fully ten times larger than all of her neighbors combined in sheer mass, but without the “knockout capability” inherent in historically great military forces. This is unacceptable to Her Majesty, the AFFC High Command, and you, the Free People of California who we are sworn to defend.

Phase One was initiated last year and continues this year, focusing on constructing an airborne assault force capable of negating the effects of static defenses and geographical hazards. This airborne force, led by attack helicopters, will provide the powerful uppercut necessary to halt enemy columns in their tracks or strike deep into enemy territory. The current plans are to field no less than eight cavalry divisions and attack helicopter wings.

Phase Two will focus on the California Air Force, and will include the augmentation of our aging fighter wings as well as the pursuit of stealth technology and other critical aeronautical initiatives.

Phase Three will be the rebirth of our ground forces into the sort of combined-arms force that was desired by the former Unites States Army and Marines. The first stage will be the creation of mechanized infantry divisions, and will work in concert with our airborne divisions to exploit gaps made by our gallant air cavalry forces.

Phases Four through Nine are still secret, but it is believed that the Objective Force 2025 Project will reduce our current total number of divisions and wings from ninety to forty-right by the middle of the next decade. Naval commitments are also being made, but will likely only bear fruit toward the end of the project’s timeline.
 
Public Bulletin Release,

Principality announces merge with Build-It,Stack-It.

At the very heart of the CBD in Los Angeles last night, Principality owner Wallace Hartford concluded a month's worth of negotiations with BISI (Build-It,Stack-It), long considered the most prestigious and efficient construction and civil engineering company in LA. Before Hartford's somewhat hostile financial takeover of the government of LA, BISI was the company that the government of the municipality turned to for general infrastructure upkeep - maintaining and construction new roads and highways, maintaining and constructing new building blocks etc. - as well as anymore further urban expansion into the surrounding region.

Charlie Bell, former CEO of McDonald's and now Director of Marketing Affairs, has expressed his excitement concerning the newly confirmed deal, stating Hartford's most recent acquisition a "big leap forward" in Principality's long-term goal of establishing self-sufficiency with minimum reliance on other states. He also sees the potential that BISI brings to Los Angeles' efforts of restructuring the urban layout of the city-state, as their specialty knowledge in urban development and morphology will be invaluable.

One of BISI's immediate tasks is to coordinate with the Google sector of Principality to complete - or speed up the process of - setting up a missile base network located along the coastlines.

The government of Free California invites delegates from the known nations bordering the Pacific Ocean to San Diego in June for a conference with the task of creating martime treaties relating to commerce, anti-piracy, whaling, international maritime courts, fishing, pollution, and all the usual sea-related stuff that governments enjoy wasting the taxpayers' dollars babbling about endlessly.

There will be free food and booze, as well as complimentary family passes to Sea World for visiting dignitaries and their families. The duke of San Diego, Dan Fouts, will preside over the opening ceremonies, which will include performances by octagenarian pop phenom Tina Turner and haiku readings by the Olson Twins.
 
Oregon and Ecocolumbia will attend. The latter desires that all meals provided be environmentally-friendly and will not harm Nature's most beloved creatures. Given the flakiness of California's elite with their tofu and their PETA membership and other New Age bullocks, Ecocolumbia hopes that this can be arranged.
 
The Arctic Union would take great pleasure in helping California to squander its citizens tax dollars. We will be happy to attend this conference.

We would like to choose the non-hippie meal, if it pleases California.
 
Charlie Bell, Director of Marketing Affairs, says that he will attend in the name of Los Angeles, so long as there is a profit to be made, and adds that laxer restrictions should be placed on McDonald's and other Principality-related activities, as well as bringing up the possibility of coorperation between the Google sub-section of the company with the cartographers of California to launch a possible GoogleCalifornia program.

If possible, Director Bell wonders if he can bring his own catering team with him. He believes that his diet of oily salads and dry beef will be hard to cope with.

[size=+2]California "Protects" Nevada - Winter 1956[/size]

In the early moments of winter, before the snows began to fall across the northern mountain ranges of the Great Basin, Californian troops moved across the border into the state of Nevada. Declaring themselves to be protectors and liberators, Californian troops poured over the border in two main armoured thrusts against the much smaller forces of Nevada.

Nevada is a sparsely-populated area with only two main regions of habitation, both close to the Californian border. California's attacks against Nevada followed Nevada's two highways, facilitating speed and rapid movement of troops for California's mechanised forces.

Within the first week of conflict Nevada's northern flank had fallen, with Reno, Sparks, and the capital of Carson City falling to the Californians. With domination of Lake Tahoe and the majority of Nevadans in northern Nevada, the front in this region soon crumbled and California had few problems clearing the sparsely-populated towns along the I-80 Interstate. Californian troops experienced some guerrilla resistance from locals, especially as they headed further east and supply lines were stretched, but reprisals against civilians for hosting guerrilla activities were swift and deadly.

The early capture of Nevada's capital city would see a significant amount of politicians captured, with many about to leave but captured by Californian troops before they could do so. Despite heavy coaxing from Californian troops, no surrender could be gained from the captured political leadership of Nevada.

The main focus of battle was to the south, around Las Vegas. America's City of Sin was the crown jewel of Nevada, and Californian troops attempted to move quickly to take the city. California's advance towards Las Vegas was halted with significant resistance from Nevadan troops defending the southern approaches to Las Vegas, the first true effort made by Nevada to stop the invaders. With the majority of forces in Nevada focusing on defending the area, Californian troops met fierce resistance from the majority of Nevada's armour, artillery, and aircraft. California was initially thrown back from Spring Valley, but the marshalling of additional forces from northern Nevada would soon turn the tide.

Las Vegas would soon be in California's sights. With the recapture of Las Vegas' southern roadways, attempts were made to cut off the retreat of Nevada's forces to Las Vegas, but significant Nevadan aerial resistance prevented too many Nevadan casualties from being incurred. Both sets of troops quickly moved north along I-15 into Las Vegas, with troops pouring off ramp ways into Las Vegas' busy inner city and outlying suburbs. The civilian population had long attempted to flee from Las Vegas, with as many as possible fleeing to Utah (not necessarily due to Mormon affiliations, but because Utah wasn't a war zone) and the empty city became a battleground.

Las Vegas' small streets in the inner city, dissected by its broad boulevards, would prove to be difficult for accurate artillery fire and armoured movement. Infantry would dominate the inner city battlefields, with Las Vegas conquered by California city block by city block. Las Vegas' most infamous landmarks, dull and without power, created an eerie and surreal scene for those fighting in the cold and fatal conditions of urban battle.

Further out in the suburbs, the fight continued with infantry, armour and artillery trying to command control of the rads leading to central Las Vegas. Californian troops would hold the upper hand as Las Vegas' two main airports and Nellis Air Force Base fell to the Californians. By knocking out local air bases, the Nevadan air force was forced out of Las Vegas and California has secured the skies above central Las Vegas.

After two weeks of bitter urban fighting that caused a significant number of casualties on both sides, the surviving Nevadan troops holed up in eastern Las Vegas surrendered to California. The back of the Nevadan military had been broken and California was victorious. The capture of Henderson and Hoover Dam would soon follow. Californian forces came within mere moments of seeing Hoover Dam destroyed by surviving Nevadan Special Forces, but were able to secure the damaged dam with onl moments to spare.

One of the first wars to occur on the North American continent since the Civil War has now concluded. Whereas in the past negotiations between states were once arbitrated by peace and cooperation within the Union, the new century for some Americans shall be carved out with blood and iron.

((Ahh Fenreer...you said you weren't into this sort of ****.))

Senior management severely condemns the disruption to market activities and the trading downtime that many shareholders suffered from due to the hostile takeover of Nevada, with Las Vegas in particular. However, if the Californian intentions are as they make it to appear to sound like, then we hope an assurance for a quick return to pre-hostilities outbreak-like times when CEO Hartford's hotel chains and odd casino here and there are still reaping in the profits.
 
Deseret has condemned California's invasion and subjugation of Nevada, and places its forces on full alert, although it has declined to take any overt action at this time.

Nevadan refugees are to be welcomed and provided for, especially the LDS refugees who presumably have little option in Mormonfrei California.

Deseret has proposed a mutual defence pact with Idaho and Arizona, in a bid to form a united front against any potential aggression.
 
Texas is shocked at the attempt by California to "protect" Nevada and offers New Mexico, Deseret and Arizona a Defensive Alliance.

To New Mexico, we wish to discuss the possibility of opening our borders, to allow free movement of troops to counter any Californian attack on Arizona or Deseret should it come.
 
Deseret is grateful for the Texan offer, and would wish to agree to the offered defence pact. Does Texas have a specific outline for the treaty? Feel free to contact Deseret through diplomatic channels (i.e PMs).
