Our military is facing a critical challenge. Our President and many of his top generals will be resigning from public service at the end of this month. This has the potential of creating a large vacuum at the top of our chain of command if we are unprepared. However, I am prepared to meet this challenge. I will work to maintain the current army structure as best as possible so that all the hard work that Dish and Esoom have done is not wasted. The objective will be to roll the current structure into the new system in a seamless transition.

My military plan involves a more centralized power structure initially. The army will be divided into three main branches. The first of these, the Reserves, will consist of people who cannot move from the USA and are tasked with defending American soil. The largest branch will consist of the Active Army. Finally, there will be a small Special Forces unit consisting of a few elite soldiers who perform missions critical to national security. The focus in all three branches will be on activity and cohesiveness. In my book, activity is more important than strength. Having soldiers you can count on is critically important to maintaining a strong fighting force.

Active Medic Program

Pearlswine has done a fantastic job managing our national gifting program. I believe the army should incorporate a similar program during war. I would like to utilize similar scripting routines to the ones Pearl uses to accomplish this. All of our soldiers who fight in battle will receive gifts, except for those who are at 10% because we don't want to gift-bomb our own soldiers. The soldiers will receive gifts each day to restore their wellness to pre-war levels. This will guarantee that wellness losses from fighting are only temporary and will provide an incentive to our citizens to participate in battles because they won't have much to lose.

An organized military is critical to maintaining our national security. ThisGenMedia and myself have worked hard to ensure a system is in place to prevent a drop-off in our military from the upcoming transition. We will announce the name of the new head of the army immediately upon election. The military pay program will also be maintained to bolster recruitment.

For a strong military, vote Archibald on August 1st!
