The Australis Report on the Military Capabilities of eAustralia.
Alex Australis
*Disclaimer*
(This report is intended to be unbiased even though the writer is a current member of the ADSP, the report is self commissioned and does not in any way attempt to present the views of anyone else except the writer.)
I have attempted to take an in depth view of eAustralia current military capabilities by using public information as my source, these are my findings.
The military is comprised of 3 main sections, Dropbears (commando/SAS), ADF (regular military) and the AMC Redbacks (medics). This report will attempt to look at the Dropbears and ADF’s fighting capabilities and form conclusions based on the evidence at hand.
DropBears
Consisting of a reported 18 soldiers including commanders, their orders are classified and many are not located on eAustralian soil presumably under orders. Their stats are as followed;
Avg Str 9.649
Avg min damage per single encounter 94.30
Avg max damage per single encounter 133.69
Avg total individual damage per battle 1352.45
Total damage per battle 24,344.19
For 18 soldiers these are impressive stats but not enough to save a nation or turn the tide in a battle, I also note that 1 member has failed to meet the requirement set out to be a Dropbear so I would question the process that occurs when selecting DropBears.
The ADF
I attempted to gather the same statistics as reported with the DropBears but was met with confusion and chaos.
There was no way for me to accurately collate data on this arm of the military as it is in what I regard as “a state of disarray” .
Of the 51 reported members of the ADF, 35 are current eAustralian citizens, the rest have emigrated to other countries and should no longer be considered as members of the ADF unless their orders sent them outside of eAustralian territories also, 7 of the 51 where found to be “inactive” or AWOL and again should not be considered as part of our military force.
Some members of the ADF are also members of the Dropbears which is a cause for confusion as they should not be listed twice under different regiments of our military; some members of the ADF are also members of the parliament which can render them ineffective if their orders called for them to move.
My observation is that the current military program is not effective in maintaining proper procedure or an organized military force and does not seem to afford any benefits to the members of the ADF other than a title. It is my opinion that the ADF branch itself has failed to increase the security of our eNation by not equipping, training or helping to advance the soldiers in its branch.
I recommend that parliament begin looking at avenues of bolstering our military, I know that it might not be seen as needed since any attacking country would need to get through eIndonesia first, but we should not allow ourselves to rest on the laurels of another countries military, as eHungary has shown, all it takes it a little publicity for a minor nation to turn into a powerhouse.
I encourage all citizens to voice their concerns or idea’s on improving the country at the eAustralian forums located at http://forum.erepublik.com.au/ and sign up to the defence force to help bolster our ailing strength.

Brilliant report Alex!
We really do need a military revolution!
where did you get this info, and also, the ADF is fine, considering they will never get sent overseas, and if we are invaded, only the active ones need to be counted. It is a much more informal branch
This information was gathered using the resources available to me publically, namely the eRepublik website and the eAustralian Forums.
Nice article, surprised that you could find so much on the dropbears.
Good read, indeed the ADF does need sorting, but the DropBears are in pretty good shape.
My fellow co minister for defence is back today or tomorrow and I'll sit down with him (figuratively as the chat will be on MSN 😛) and talk to him about ways of improving ALL aspects of the military, I have some in mind already.
I've held back a bit on the other stats I got while researching but I have a current list of the min damage, max damage and total damage of every listed member of the Dropbears.
I was hoping to do the same with the ADF which lead me to my frustration with the current program which I will add I don't blame the government alone, we as a society have not been looking at our military as we were focused on our economic stability, my aim for this article was to try and get people motivated to help strengthen our military just as we did our economy.
I’m hoping that collectively we can come up with idea’s similar to the “Military Companies” bill that was voted down recently and make the ADF mean something more than an “informal branch”.
'I’m hoping that collectively we can come up with idea’s similar to the “Military Companies” bill that was voted down recently'
That passed actually, we have the go ahead to create three military companies in Moving tickets, gifts and weapons.
If you are using erep tools to get your stats for damage done, its actually wrong, since it doesnt update on wars that have not finished.
No the stats are all done by my own hand and the CCCP tool that calculates the damage based on STR, weapon and rank. I don't trust eRep tools.
The section on the ADF is absolutely true. The ADF is in a state of chaos, many players don't even check the forums weekly, perhaps even monthly. I know previous administrations have tried to increase the size of our armed forces, but it has come at the expense of soldiers' quality control (mainly activity) and organization. Widdows needs to do an overhaul.
'Widdows needs to do an overhaul.'
Widdows will do an overhaul 😉
Perhaps, when the miitary is democratised, it could be made compulsary. That is, if you don't vote on your commander, boom, your out. Ensuring activity at least
Good article. Everybody loves a bit of investigative journalism!
For a stronger army!
We are planning on some military action once the hospital is compleated . This will provide combat experence and increase activity , as it will be more fun than anwsering to roll call .

Why do you even need a military? it's not like the collaborators are going to do anything if eIndo decides they want some states back.
Nicely done report Alex, considering you had to go off public information, i'd say you did a good job.
c'mon How can we have the two best MoDs the UK ever had and be so disorganised?
Thanks,
The military is an area that needs more push.
'c'mon How can we have the two best MoDs the UK ever had and be so disorganised?'
Well I've only been MoD for a week after like 4 months out so I'm a bit rusty and Deilos was meant to be back yesterday from a trip but hasn't shown up yet 😒
If he hasn't responded to my PM by tomorrow I'll start drawing up some plans by myself.
U fergot the AMC Alex! 😃 but good article m8, sorry I posted so l8.
It was a purposeful omission in the report as the AMC is a combat support unit, I thought it would be redundant to report on it as from my understanding AMC medics simply issue gifts to increase the wellness of the fighting force.
Ye thats what you think muwahahaha 😆
