Tilly grabs the phone. "Ah, Commander. How was your flight? Awfully fast. Did you catch a Concorde? Anyway, what can I do for you?"

"No sir, the Concorde doesn't fly anymore though that's a pity. Just got lucky I think. I wanted to tell you that I have talked with the Arms Lobby and I think they are on our side. Soon I'll talk with the politicians. Anyway, on the flight to here I read some MDIS documents and I came across something odd. The person in charge of a Command Office is given a automatic rank. Most of them quite high. For example the one in charge of O-8 (Health) will be O-9 (Vice Admiral/Lt. General). So the Director of O-8 would be able to order a lot of troops around without the knoweledge of it. I don't think that's a good idea sir or have I missed something?"

"No Concorde anymore? Hmm. I need to travel more often. Anyway, you've got nothing to worry about, Commander. These aren't automatic ranks -- these are earned ranks, the Directorships given to military officers. And they're not command positions, so it's not as though the Director of Health is going to go ordering combat units around over the heads of the unit's rightful commanders."

"I appreciate your concern for an old salt, Mr. Minister. Playing handmaiden to politicians can be worthwhile if you're doing it for the right reasons, but I can't stomach lobbying even for our veterans."

"As for the Streetfighter- I think the key is the doctrine more than the ships. Any modern corvette or even fast attack craft would do if it has the proper load-out and command and control."

MDIS Directive 6: ENDTech Reorganization

MDIS Directive 6: ENDTech Reorganization

The Eutopian National Defense Technology corporation (ENDTech) shall henceforth be reorganized into three departments for managerial convenience:

- Department of Production (DoP): Responsible for the construction of military equipment licensed or developed by ENDTech.

- Department of Research and Development (DoRaD): Responsible for developing new projects as dictated by the needs of the military and the Ministry.

- Department of Acquisitions (DoA): Responsible for the purchase of raw materials needed by DoP, as well as acquisitions of military equipment and licenses from overseas corporations for Eutopian use.

All ENDTech employees (current and future) shall be given thorough security screenings and shall be issued security clearances as required by their positions.

Personnel and payrolls shall be managed by a small corporate administration unit. ENDTech shall continue to operate from a unitary fund for the moment, but during the next budget cycle the Minister shall divide the budget between the Departments according to the Ministry's needs.

Tilly grows serious as he skims the communique. He drops it in a burn bag and hands it to his assistant.

"Commodore, I'm afraid I have some urgent matters to take care of, if you'll excuse me. I'll be in touch in a few days about getting you returned to service."

"Tokyo? Well, I haven't seen much of it, but I like it. Very big... and busy. As for why I called, Minister Talbott said that the MDIS might be looking to buy arms from the Japanese. I don't really know about air or sea units, but as for land, I'd recommend the Type 90 tank. Expensive, making it suitable only for elite formations, but they have laser rangefinders, computerized fire control, NBC protection, the works. And get this; they even have a cross-linked hydro-pneumatic suspension. Basically it can raise or lower different parts of the chassis to negotiate difficult terrain. The Type 91 is a modified bridgelayer version.

They also have a Command/Recon vehicle known as the Type 82. 2 MGs for armament. Not too shabby. I think it would make a nice scouting vehicle."

"Hmm. Well, of course, there's no shortage of pressure to build the Gorgon here at home, and it's quite capable itself. Still, we might have need for a bridge-laying tank, and the tank-recovery version of the Type 90 also interests me. How willing are the Japanese to sell? Could you perhaps get two of each for testing purposes, so we can assure they're compatible with the Gorgon?"

"As for recon, I had something lighter in mind. Still, I appreciate the information. We may need to talk seriously with the Japanese about shipbuilding if our efforts to court the Americans fall through."

MDIS Directive 8: Eutopian Military Doctrine

MDIS Directive 8: Eutopian Military Doctrine

For a military unit to operate effectively, it must understand its mission. This is true from the squad level all the way to the institutional military itself. A lack of a clear raison d'être has plagued the Eutopian military for decades.

Therefore, the following shall be the overarching mission for the Eutopian military:

- Defend Eutopia's territorial integrity, her territorial waters, and her territorial airspace.

- Intercept and prevent terrorism or large-scale criminal activity.

- Contribute meaningfully to international military and peacekeeping efforts.

All missions -- from the mandates of individual branches down to the orders of individual soldiers -- shall ultimately be in furtherance of these goals.

Branch Mandates

Each branch of the military forms a vital part of an interlocking whole; without the other branches, none could hope to achieve their mission. In the interests of efficiency, it is imperative that each branch play to their strengths. Thus, they each have individual areas of responsibility.

Army

As the only branch which can seize and hold territory, it is apparent that the Army is the most vital branch of the military. Its mandate includes:

- Defending the borders and shores.

- Projecting power into Eutopia's difficult terrain, i.e. mountains and islands.

- Protecting our military bases and population centers.

- Assisting CIS and law enforcement (both federal and local) in combatting terrorism.

- Contributing land forces to international operations, if necessary.

- Providing aid and relief to civilian communities, if needed.

Navy

Eutopia's status as an island makes the Navy our first line of defense; without her, invaders could land anytime, anywhere on our shores. It is therefore apparent that the Navy is the most vital branch of the military. Her mandate includes:

- Intercepting and neutralizing hostile warships and landing forces.

- Monitoring the seas to identify potential threats.

- Identifying, intercepting and preventing terrorists and other criminals (such as smugglers and drug traffickers) from utilizing the seas.

- Preventing piracy on the high seas.

- Providing the ability to land the Eutopian Marines on hostile shores.

- Providing ship-to-shore bombardment capability in support of land forces.

- Providing ship-to-air fire in the defense of air forces and other vessels.

- Providing search and rescue, disaster relief, and environmental cleanup assistance to civilians, if necessary.

Air Force

In modern conflict, control of the skies is critical to success in battle. Without a sufficient air force, our naval and land forces are vulnerable to attack from the air, and will be unable to complete their missions; in addition, we will lack precision strike capability. Therefore, it is apparent that the Air Force is the most vital branch of the military. Its mandate includes:

- Neutralizing hostile aircraft.

- Patrolling the coasts and borders of Eutopia to identify and prevent unauthorized incursions.

- Providing aerial reconnaisance of military targets.

- Performing strikes on land and sea targets.

- Performing close air support attacks in support of engaged ground forces.

- Providing airlift capability to ground forces.

- Neutralizing coastal defenses in anticipation of an amphibious assault.

- Providing civilian support by use of emergency transportation and airlift capabilities, if needed.

Conclusion

It should therefore be apparent that ALL branches of the military are critical in carrying out their missions. Officers should therefore foster a spirit of cooperation between the members of different branches. To further this goal, basic training (physical fitness, weapons familiarity, basic military discipline and operations training) shall henceforth be unified, and conducted without regard to an individual's eventual service branch.

PRESS RELEASE: Tilly On Critics: "Insulting", "Ill-informed"

PRESS RELEASE: Tilly On Critics: "Insulting", "Ill-informed"

Minister of Defense, Intelligence and Security Hawkton Tilly took his critics to task today, calling their attacks "insulting" and their policies "ill-informed."

"To suggest that I'm anti-democratic, or intend to violate the constitutional order, is not simply insulting -- it's contrary to the record. My adherence to the Eutopian constitution has been above reproach. I still consider my greatest achievement to be participating in the creation of the Eutopian Charter of Rights, and I have upheld that Charter as MILE and as MDIS. I will continue to do so, and if a law is passed by the General Assembly ordering the MDIS to accept conscripts, I will follow that law to the letter.

"But I stand by my statements, and the fact remains that no one, not even Per Recyznski, has suggested such a law. The best the UEF has done is present a poorly-crafted bill which requires our young people to carry out two years of military service. No reference is made to how these young people are to be trained, housed, or fed. No indication is given to the Ministry as what we are to do with these young men and women. We are left to our own devices when it comes to that. So why shouldn't they be released from service?

"This highlights one of the critical problems with every piece of legislation the UEF has proposed -- Per Recyznski is terribly ill-informed. The fact is that no one wants conscription. The people who have to give up their children don't want it. The soldiers don't want it. The President doesn't want it. We, in the Ministry, don't want it. It seems like Per Recyznski is the only person who does want it. Yet as far as I know, he didn't speak with a single military man or woman, or a single member of my Ministry, before proposing his bill. He certainly didn't speak to me. Now, I ask you, which of us is less democratic?

"If you need more proof of how disconnected he is from the people he claims to represent, Per Recyznski has also proposed a value-added tax. He wants to spend 15 billion extra ducats per term on the military -- an increase of almost 50%. Did he bother to ask whether we actually needed the money? NO! I am certain that many members of our military might like to have a few more ships or planes, but as I have been repeatedly reminded over the past several days, the military serves the people. Part of that service is taking only the share we need to carry out our defense of the nation. I have been working hard to create a smaller, better trained, better paid, and more experienced force without raising our per-term spending. Per Recyznski would prefer instead to throw money at a problem that doesn't even need fixing -- that's his solution to where the money for continued conscription would come from. In other words, he wants the people of Eutopia to give up their sons and daughters for military service, and wants them to pay higher taxes to do it!

"I have not before and will not now hide my opinions about the draft. It is an archaic and unnecessary practice. The Eutopian military doesn't need it, and is worse for it. I will grant that it is effective in instilling a love of country in some places -- Israel springs to mind. But Eutopia is not Israel. We are not surrounded by enemies who may choose any moment to settle old scores. We don't need a population ready to pick up a rifle and fight at a moment's notice. The draft does in Eutopia the same thing that it did in the United States -- it saps the legitimacy of our government and the effectiveness of our armed forces. It is time we put an end to it, and I call on the General Assembly and the Senate to reject the Eutopian Service Bill out of hand and pass the Draft Abolition, Military Education, and Re-enlistment Act which will shortly be forthcoming. Thank you."

PRESS RELEASE: Tilly Selects Levarge as ENDTech CEO

PRESS RELEASE: Tilly Selects Levarge as ENDTech CEO

At a press conference today, Minister of Defense, Intelligence, and Security Hawkton J. Tilly announced that Brigadier Marcus Levarge would be the next CEO of the Eutopian National Defense Technologies Corporation, better known as ENDTech.

"Brigadier Levarge is a proven leader who has the full trust of both myself and the President," Tilly said. "Without a doubt, he is the best man to steer ENDTech through its current troubles and undertake the major projects our military will need to bring it into the 21st Century. I would also like to take this opportunity to brevet him to Lt. General (O-9) for the duration of his assignment."

Tilly also indicated that O-20, the Office of the Inspector General, had been requested by Levarge to assist in the audit of ENDTech, and that he had given the go-ahead. "It is imperative that the mistakes of the past be rectified in the present if we hope to enjoy a better future. I have therefore requested that the ill-advised efforts to turn ENDTech into a retail business be terminated, and that the Inspector General assist in this process to minimize waste and maximize efficiency."

The Inspector General was unavailable for comment.

Re: Priorities

Minister:

As per your directive, I have dissolved the sales, marketing, and ENDZone operations departments at ENDTech. I have ordered production to have 200 Gorgon tanks operational within six months. I have ordered research to begin immediate work on a wheeled IFV, and to examine reverse engineering certain MANPADS and MANPATS for domestic production.

What are the priorities for acquisition? My initial thoughts are to acquire license to build domestically a wheeled IFV, such as the American Stryker. However, I am not certain as to Naval and Air Force priorities. Do you have any guidance to offer, or should I contact representatives of those branches directly?
