MoD - Tactical Assessment and Readiness Exercise (TARE)

Day 5,956, 00:49 • Published in United Kingdom

• by Ministry of Defence

eUK Military Unit Coordination Exercise

A war-game has been on the agenda for a while however nothing has come to fruition yet despite the hard work of many.

It remains a good idea to attempt to do something with our military units. So the government would like to propose the running of a military unit coordination exercise with a competitive element before anything more substantial in terms of war-games. A Tactical Assessment and Readiness Exercise or TARE.

The amount of damage we can raise in a short time can be tested and exercised while raising eUK training war epic exercises with partners; however controlled damage in coordinated military unit activity hasn’t been attempted for a while.

So the premise of the exercise is to primarily reward coordination and participation through many members of the same military unit collectively hitting a small amount of damage in a round. Although individual displays of damage can contribute to success in the competition.

Overall military units can work together to deliver damage and be successful in the exercise.

Critically the coordination exercise will only take place in “UK win” rounds and as we are intentionally keeping individual damage thresholds low it should not affect medal runs of players not participating in the Military Unit Tactical Assessment and Readiness Exercise (TARE).

Example Exercise
Days 5,956 to 5,958

Eligibility
Any eUK Military Unit or Military Units owned by UK citizens

Rules
No BH or SH overhitting (or sniping)
A participating member is defined as a MU member who meets the criteria to complete at least 1 objective

Rewards
💎3,000cc per participating member
💎1,000cc per successful objective completed
💎Double participation and objective rewards for the “winning” Military Unit

Format
Exercise Objectives will be sent to participating Military Unit Commanders or their nominated command and control players at the beginning of the exercise.

It will then be up to the Military Unit to coordinate the successful completion of their exercise objectives.

Results will be compiled and published by the Ministry of Defence at the end of the exercise for all competing Military Units.

Exercise Objectives for Military Unit

Day 5,956 - (08:00 to 13:00 Erep. time)
DIV 1 2 or 3 - “Defend” the South East of England by recording 10k damage*
AIR - “Defend” North West of England by recording 15k damage*
DIV 4 - “Empty round blitz” Find an empty UK win round, work together as a MU and for every 100 million damage delivered by the MU earn 1,000cc for your MU, capped at 10,000cc**

Day 5,957 - (08:00 to 13:00 Erep. time)
AIR - “Empty round blitz” Find an empty UK win round, work together as a MU and for every 10k damage delivered by the MU earn 1,000cc for your MU, capped at 10,000cc**
DIV 4 - “Defend” Aosta Valley by recording 20 million damage*
DIV 1 2 or 3 - “Defend” the Volhynia by recording 10k damage*

Day 5,958 - (08:00 to 13:00 Erep. time)
DIV 4 - “Defend” Wales by recording 20 million damage
AIR - “Defend” Yorkshire and Humberside by recording 15k damage
DIV 1 2 or 3 - “Defend” the Victoria by recording 10k damage*

*No cap on participating members however a single round should be targeted within the allotted time frame (for example if 3 pilots from the MU record 15k~ damage each, the MU get 3x 1,000cc for multiple pilots synchronizing on the objective). Objectives can only be completed once in the allocated time window by a MU

Registration and Congressional Approval

Commanders, if you would like to register your military unit’s interest in an exercise, please comment below or message the Ministry of Defence.

Military Unit's interested in the exercise described above will help Congress and Government decide if the exercise is viable and the funding to allocate.

Congressional Members and all, let’s discuss refinement of the idea o7

Does the 'empty round blitz' apply to multiple rounds of the same battle? I've just done over 1bn damage in successive empty rounds against Turkey in a eUK win battle. Its going to get rather expensive if it does.

Mr Woldy Day 5,956, 03:52

it's capped at 10k 🙂

harveytailbanger Day 5,956, 03:57

But it states: DIV 4 - “Empty round blitz” Find an empty UK win round and for every 100 million damage delivered earn 1,000cc for your MU, capped at 10,000cc
There is nothing about about whether multiple rounds or multiple battles each qualify

Mr Woldy Day 5,956, 04:00

My interpretation is that it is capped at 10k per individual during the time frame - I may be wrong 😃

harveytailbanger Day 5,956, 04:06

Thanks, such seeking clarification

Huey George Day 5,956, 09:31

It was intended to be a 10k cap per Military Unit for 1 round within the objective time frame. However I can see that is not how it reads.

The logic is that one objective doesn't overly affect the outcome of the overall competition however there is still some scope for individual effort. i.e. 3 fighters could deliver 1bn damage (or 100k air damage) between them to earn their MU 10,000cc objective rewards or 1 fighter could deliver 1bn damage (or 100k air damage) between them to earn their MU 10,000cc objective rewards. Or any other combination.

There is also some logistics and coordination required to identify and claim an empty round "early enough" so there is no need to "overhit" a non exercise participant on a medal run for the MU to run a blitz in as I didn't want to exercise to cause division between fighters and finding 1 empty round in a 5 hour period seems reasonable.

I'll clarify this in the article o7

I would avoid basing it on MU membership as it would unfairly hit larger groups compared to those only consisting of a handful

Rory Winterbourne II Day 5,956, 17:12

Do it as a percentage of members 😛

Was "Example Exercise" added as an edit?

Mr Woldy Day 5,956, 17:36

% of living members maybe 😛 something that awards coordination in a broad sense (showing up at the right place at the right time) is what I think some mu rewards could be based on. As always I'm minded to keep things simple rather than complexify them but I think we should just give some ideas a go and see what people respond to

Huey George Day 5,957, 00:06

It's not based on MU membership, it's based on participating members (a participating member is a MU member who clears at least 1 objective) so if a MU has 5 or 500 members the rewards would be similar if only 5 of the MU's members actively take part in the MU completing exercise objectives within the allotted timeframes.

I should also clarify that objectives are MU based, so each participating will have it's own set of objectives sent to it's Commander (and other nominated command and control players) to complete. This puts some onus on to a MU's Command structure to coordinate it's own members to clear objectives and adds some fun in terms of generating extra communication within the MU for the exercise.

I'll add this additional detail to the article for increase clarity o/
