[PM] Ashes to Ashes; Goodbye to the Royal Guard

Day 709, 11:15 • Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom • by Mr Woldy


Good Evening!

Firstly, if you're active ont he forums you'll know we'ce decided to begin looking for a Cabinet Secretary, you can read more about that here. You will be helping us orgnaise and run meetings, and lending a hand in the MoHA/MoLA. Hopefully this role will help set in conrete plans that are regularly discussed in the Cabinet IRC room, so ministers can read through chats and remind themsleves of discussed initiatives that they can begin to work towards.

Currently the Training Wars are active, but if you want a taste of the real action you can move to hungary and help them fight in their open battles.

Just to remind you again that gifting is available, there is currently an open battle in the regular PEACE training war, which we are involved in. You can find the war here. If however, your welllness is under 40 and you cannot fight you can request gifting from the British Gifting Hub they can obly gift you up to 40 once, so remember in the future to fight no more times then the quality of your hospital, and then heal.


The Military

Up 'til today, the Military consisted of the Royal Guards, The Royal Navy, and the Special Forces. The Royal Guards were a stay at home force, who (to be honest) often slipped into inactivity.

Over the past few days, the Cabinet and Royal Navy Command have been discussing possible options for the Royal Guard, as the current scheme had left Commanders with little direction, meaning they couldn't make progress. Initially we decided to better organise the system were people would be trained and moved into the navy. People who for-whatever reason couldn't move (Congressmen, Party Presidents) would be put into a squad to fight from home.

However, the discussion soon led to that system being incorporated into and ran by the Royal Navy, and upon deliberation the decision was made to take a further step and get rid of the RG.


The Royal Naval Training Division

To replace the RG, The RNTD shall be established. Led by the navy, and following their current chain of command, it shall be tasked with training new Cadets to the eUK military. There, they shall be introduced to fighting smart (keeping wellness high) working in Military companies, using IRC and moving around. From here, they will start a dazzling new career in the Navy.

But what of the stationary forces? There shall be no stationary wing of the Military, I used to be in the RG and to some extent I am saddened to see it go. However, it was never really active, and never did a lot. There were a lot of people who could move but who just didn't want to, and the best way to urge them into the navy is to remove the Royal Guard.

People who cannot move due to game mechanics will be able to fight for themselves, not all of them signed up to the military in the first place, and once they hit the right strength they can join the Special Forces, if they so please.

This serves to slimline the military, increase the number of active hands on board to help, and increase the size of our mobile forces.
