MORE TO COME SOON

Okay clearly, founding a true micronational military is some serious stuff. Here is a little guide to help you get started on the foundation of an army. I'll do navy and air force next. 1. Get a uniform. There is no other way to create a military and identify them then a UNIFORM! To keep things serious, try and keep them as singular as possible. Instead of ordering complex nametapes (the names above the breast pocket.) Dog tags could be a cheap alternative. Keep it realistic. We all know most of you don't own guns, so a nerf battle vest is annoying. A cheap uniform to obtain and relevant for the US/UK/Europe is the BDU. In service with the US Army until recently, it's being sold off for cheap and is very reliable, and somewhat (not really) comfortable. It is also professional and widely adaptable to anything. (ANYTHING) Develop regulations and standards to be even more professional. 2. A chain of command. That's the only way a military works. Without proper organization and regulations, a military cannot follow correct orders. An example is at the bottom of the page. A good organization system is through squads, and other things. A chain of command is functioned by ranks, which are enclosed in the example below. A leader has resilience, and a positive attitude, and a good sense of leadership. 3. Values. Every good group or military/paramilitary has core values and/or a creed. A good example is the NKSC Soldier's creed. Great job, Kranton. I like it. The USAF/Civil Air Patrol has great ones. Integrity, Volunteer service, and Excellence are probably the greatest of the lot. A value must reflect the military. Remember that you must follow these under all costs. 4. equipment. This isn't really that important. Equipment is for whatever mission the group wants to carry out. For instance, if you want to dig a foxhole, you need a shovel. But that would be qualified under weapons. That is under firepower. A good soldier takes care of his equipment as he bought it with his own money, which he kind of did if he pays taxes. But that's off topic.
