Short solution for Military Cohesion
Death and Taxes
Hey.
So we've discussed the current situation with regard to Irish military units and come up with a number of proposals, either an amalgamation of all MU's into one large unit, with divisions matched up with regiments. Or alternatively, having 4 main MU's each of which is responsible for one division of fighting ability for our country.
Whether this is implemented or not remains to be seen. Certainly there would be mass resistance and the possibility of making things worse. Nonetheless, I don't think many would argue that the current fractured situation gives poor cohesion to how and when we fight.
Following the 'Campaign of The Day' or accessing IRC or even casual conversations amongst military commanders is patchy, uncoordinated and makes for sloppy wars. Something we can't afford because our allies check our results regularly and we need to show some skill and expertise, as we want these same allies to support us.
We're hoping for a military campaign during this term of our CP, although knowing Ronisu, it will only happen if it's logical and well planned. So again if this happens, the MU's will know where to fight, but may not coordinate too well. The supply of free weapons from the government does assist us with this regard, but lots of people don't access IRC or don't want supplies.
While we start our preparations I have a relatively simple suggestion.
At the start of each week the MoFA/MoD should sent out a joint circular as a PM to all MU commanders. This should be updated on a regular basis, such as changes in CotD, strategy explanations, alliance explanations and coordination of combined strikes.
The idea behind this is that it allows MU commanders a joint platform to communicate to and get information back from the government. We don't want or need a massive thread with posts being pinged back and forth, but I do believe that after a couple of weeks, the MU Commanders will have a very good grasp of current military affairs and alliances, and the government will have a very good idea of how our structure works or fails. Something vital for the future of this country.
So. What do you think?

I think YOU should do it, as you're in that team, aren't ya? In which case, try it.
Bhane's term had something similar, which would have worked, but was trolled by dimwits. This resulted in real communications going on outside of the thread.
Anyway, assuming that there might be some reduction in tardism this month, its as good as anything.
I love this idea. And I am with Grainne, just do it. And, just ignore the trolls... only way to deal with them is to completely ignore them.
In my opinion, we should not have 4 MUs all by divisions. Every MU can arrange the divisions by itself. But the PM is a good thing, maybe to make a MoD channel (if there isn't one) and invite all commanders and 2nd commanders.
Huh. The whole idea is to come up with the ideas and get other people to do the work. Very well.
Go for it Mal!
Shouldnt be revolving around commanders
attract people to state MU's by offering high standard supplies and active community.
I'll try and write an article regarding the possible military reform and would appreciate all comments.
