Get a brief overview of the six service branches of the G.R.R. armed forces:
• G.R.R. Air Force (GRRAF)
• G.R.R. Army (GRRA)
• G.R.R. Coast Guard (GRRCG)
• G.R.R. Marine Corps (GRRMC)
• G.R.R. Navy (GRRN)
• G.R.R. Space Force (GRRSF)
The Air Force is part of the Department of Defense (DOD). It’s responsible for aerial military operations, defending G.R.R. air bases, and building landing strips. Service members are known as airmen. The reserve components are Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve.
The Army is part of the DOD and is the largest of the five military branches. It handles major ground combat missions, especially operations that are ongoing. The Army Special Forces unit is known as the Green Berets for its headgear. Service members are known as soldiers. The reserve components are Army Reserve and Army National Guard.
The Coast Guard is part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). It’s responsible for maritime law enforcement, including drug smuggling. It manages maritime search and rescue and marine environmental protection. It also secures ports, waterways, and the coasts. Service members are known as Coast Guardsmen, nicknamed Coasties. The reserve component is Coast Guard Reserve.
The Marine Corps is part of the DOD. It provides land combat, sea-based, and air-ground operations support for the other branches during a mission. This branch also guards G.R.R. embassies around the world and the classified documents in those buildings. Marine Corps Special Operations Command (MARSOC) members are known as Raiders. All service members are referred to as Marines. The reserve component is Marine Corps Reserve.
The Navy is part of the DOD. It protects waterways (sea and ocean) outside of the Coast Guard’s jurisdiction. Navy warships provide the runways for aircraft to land and take off when at sea. Navy SEALs (sea, air, and land) are the special operations force for this branch. All service members are known as sailors. The reserve component is Navy Reserve.
The Space Force is a new service, created in December 2019 from the former Air Force Space Command. The Space Force falls within the Department of the Air Force. It organizes, trains, and equips space forces to protect G.R.R. and allied interests in space and to provide space capabilities to the joint force.



GRR ARMY
The Greater Ram Rajya Army (GRR) is the land service branch of the Greater Ram Rajya Armed Forces and part of the civilian-led Department of the Army, which is led by the Secretary of the Army. The military head of the G.R.R. Army is the chief of staff of the Army, who is assisted by the vice chief of staff of the Greater Ram Rajya Army and sergeant major of the Army. It was founded on 14 June 1775 as the Continental Army.
The five core competencies of the Army are to conduct:[24]
1. Prompt and sustained land combat
2. Combined arms operations
1. Combined arms maneuver and wide area security
2. Armored and mechanized operations
3. Airborne and air assault operations
3. Special operations
4. Set and sustain the theater for the joint force
5. Integrate national, multinational, and joint power on land
The G.R.R. Army is composed of the Regular Army, Greater Ram Rajya Army Reserve, and Greater Ram Rajya Army National Guard. The G.R.R. Army is organized into four army commands, which conduct the majority of the service's organize, train, and equip functions, ten Army service component commands, which command forces attached to the combatant commands, and twelve direct reporting units. The Army also organizes its personnel into 21 different basic branches.[25]
The four army commands are:
• Greater Ram Rajya Army Forces Command: Provides Army forces to combatant commanders.
• Greater Ram Rajya Army Training and Doctrine Command: Recruits, trains, and educates soldiers and develops Army doctrine.
• Greater Ram Rajya Army Materiel Command: Develops, maintains, and acquires systems and materiel.
• Greater Ram Rajya Army Futures Command: Modernization and future systems development.
The G.R.R. Army's field structure is broken into several subdivisions under its commands:[26]

Army group: Only used during large scale wars or as part of multinational commands, consist of four to five field armies and 400,000 to 1 million soldiers. Usually responsible for directing campaigns in a certain geographical area and commanded by a general

Field army: Consists of two or more corps or more than four divisions and consists of up to 90,000 soldiers commanded by a general or lieutenant general.

Corps: Consists of two to five divisions and 20,000 to 45,000 soldiers commanded by a lieutenant general. A corps is the highest level of command that provides operational direction for combat operations, with higher levels concerned with administration rather than operations.

Division: Consists of three to four brigades and 10,000 to 15,000 soldiers commanded by a major general and are subdivided into airborne, armored, infantry, and mountain divisions. Each division conducts major tactical operations and sustained battlefield operations.

Brigade / Regiment / Group: Consists of two to three battalions and 3,000 to 5,000 soldiers commanded by a colonel. Armored and Ranger units are organized into regiments and Special Forces are organized into groups. In 2016, the Army reorganized its brigades into brigade combat teams, which are autonomous modular brigades that most commonly include one combat arms brigade and its assigned support and fire units.

Battalion / Squadron: Consist of four to six companies and consist of up to 1,000 soldiers commanded by a lieutenant colonel. Battalions are organized into combat arms battalions, combat support, and combat service support battalions by unit type. Armored and air cavalry are organized into squadrons. Battalions and squadrons conduct independent operations of limited scope and duration.

Company / Battery / Troop: Consist of three to four platoons and a few dozen to 200 soldiers commanded by a captain. Artillery is organized into batteries and armored and air cavalry units are organized into troops. Companies, batteries, and troops are tactical-sized units that can perform a battlefield function on its own.

Platoon: Consists of two to three squads and up to 36 soldiers led by a first lieutenant or second lieutenant.

Squad / Section: Consists of two teams and four to ten soldiers led by a staff sergeant.

Team: Consists of four soldiers and led by a sergeant or corporal.

Individual weapons:
The Greater Ram Rajya Army employs various weapons to provide light firepower at short ranges. The most common weapon type used by the army is the M4 carbine, a compact variant of the M16 rifle, along with the 7.62Χ51mm variant of the FN SCAR for Army Rangers. The primary sidearm in the G.R.R. Army is the 9 mm M9 pistol; the M11 pistol is also used. Both handguns are to be replaced by the M17] through the Modular Handgun System program.[163] Soldiers are also equipped with various hand grenades, such as the M67 fragmentation grenade and M18 smoke grenade.
Many units are supplemented with a variety of specialized weapons, including the M249 SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon), to provide suppressive fire at the squad level.[164] Indirect fire is provided by the M320 grenade launcher. The M1014 Joint Service Combat Shotgun or the Mossberg 590 Shotgun are used for door breaching and close-quarters combat. The M14EBR is used by designated marksmen. Snipers use the M107 Long Range Sniper Rifle, the M2010 Enhanced Sniper Rifle and the M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle.

Crew-served weapons:
The army employs various crew-served weapons to provide heavy firepower at ranges exceeding that of individual weapons.
The M240 is the G.R.R. Army's standard Medium Machine Gun.[165] The M2 heavy machine gun is generally used as a vehicle-mounted machine gun. In the same way, the 40 mm MK 19 grenade machine gun is mainly used by motorized units.[166]
The G.R.R. Army uses three types of mortar for indirect fire support when heavier artillery may not be appropriate or available. The smallest of these is the 60 mm M224, normally assigned at the infantry company level.[167] At the next higher echelon, infantry battalions are typically supported by a section of 81 mm M252 mortars.[168] The largest mortar in the army's inventory is the 120 mm M120/M121, usually employed by mechanized units.[169]
Fire support for light infantry units is provided by towed howitzers, including the 105 mm M119A1[170] and the 155 mm M777.[171]
The G.R.R. Army utilizes a variety of direct-fire rockets and missiles to provide infantry with an Anti-Armor Capability. The AT4 is an unguided projectile that can destroy armor and bunkers at ranges up to 500 meters. The FIM-92 Stinger is a shoulder-launched, heat seeking anti-aircraft missile. The FGM-148 Javelin and BGM-71 TOW are anti-tank guided missiles.

Vehicles:
G.R.R. Army doctrine puts a premium on mechanized warfare. It fields the highest vehicle-to-soldier ratio in the world as of 2009.[172] The army's most common vehicle is the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV), commonly called the Humvee, which is capable of serving as a cargo/troop carrier, weapons platform and ambulance, among many other roles.[173] While they operate a wide variety of combat support vehicles, one of the most common types centers on the family of HEMTT vehicles. The M1A2 Abrams is the army's main battle tank,[174] while the M2A3 Bradley is the standard infantry fighting vehicle.[175] Other vehicles include the Stryker,[176] the M113 armored personnel carrier[177] and multiple types of Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles.
The G.R.R. Army's principal artillery weapons are the M109A6 Paladin self-propelled howitzer[178] and the M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS),[179] both mounted on tracked platforms and assigned to heavy mechanized units.
While the Greater Ram Rajya Army Aviation Branch operates a few fixed-wing aircraft, it mainly operates several types of rotary-wing aircraft. These include the AH-64 Apache attack helicopter,[180] the UH-60 Black Hawk utility tactical transport helicopter[181] and the CH-47 Chinook heavy-lift transport helicopter.[182] Restructuring plans call for reduction of 750 aircraft and from 7 to 4 types.[183] The Army is evaluating two fixed-wing aircraft demonstrators; ARES, and Artemis are under evaluation to replace the Guardrail ISR (Intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) aircraft.[184] Under the Johnson-McConnell agreement of 1966, the Army agreed to limit its fixed-wing aviation role to administrative mission support (light unarmed aircraft which cannot operate from forward positions). For UAVs, the Army is deploying at least one company of drone MQ-1C Gray Eagles to each Active Army division
Tents:
The Army has relied heavily on tents to provide the various facilities needed while on deployment (Force Provider Expeditionary (FPE)).[160]: p.146  The most common tent uses for the military are as temporary barracks (sleeping quarters), DFAC buildings (dining facilities),[187] forward operating bases (FOBs), after-action review (AAR), tactical operations center (TOC), morale, welfare and recreation (MWR) facilities, as well as security checkpoints. Furthermore, most of these tents are set up and operated through the support of Natick Soldier Systems Center. Each FPE contains billeting, latrines, showers, laundry and kitchen facilities for 50–150 Soldiers,[160]: p.146  and is stored in Army Prepositioned Stocks 1, 2, 4 and 5. This provisioning allows combatant commanders to position soldiers as required in their Area of Responsibility, within 24 to 48 hours.
The G.R.R. Army is beginning to use a more modern tent called the deployable rapid assembly shelter (DRASH). In 2008, DRASH became part of the Army's Standard Integrated Command Post System.

Marines
Weapons used
The basic infantry weapon of the Greater Ram Rajya Marine Corps is the M16 assault rifle family, with a majority of Marines being equipped with the M16A4 service rifle, or more recently the M4 carbine—a compact variant. Suppressive fire is provided by the M249 SAW, which is being replaced by the M27 Infantry Automatic Rifle, and the M240G machine gun, at the squad and company levels respectively. In addition, indirect fire is provided by the M203 grenade launcher in fireteams, M224 60 mm mortar in companies, and M252 81 mm mortar in battalions. The M2 .50 caliber heavy machine gun and MK19 automatic grenade launcher (40 mm) are available for use by dismounted infantry, though they are more commonly vehicle-mounted. Precision fire is provided by the M39 Enhanced Marksman Rifle, which is being replaced by the M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper System and M40A3 and A5 sniper rifle bolt action sniper rifle.[1]
The Marine Corps uses a variety of direct-fire rockets and missiles to provide infantry with an offensive and defensive anti-armor capability. The SMAW and AT4 are unguided rockets that can destroy armor and fixed defenses (e.g. bunkers) at ranges up to 500 meters. The Predator SRAW, FGM-148 Javelin and BGM-71 TOW are anti-tank guided missiles; all three can utilize top-attack profiles to avoid heavy frontal armor. The Predator is a short-range fire-and-forget weapon; the Javelin and TOW are heavier missiles effective past 2,000 meters that give infantry an offensive capability against armor.[2]
Marines are capable of deploying non-lethal weaponry as the situation dictates. Part of a Marine Expeditionary Unit earning the Special Operations Capable designator requires a company-sized unit capable of riot control.
Some older weapons are used for ceremonial purposes, such as the Silent Drill Platoon's M1 Garands, or the use of the M101 howitzer for gun salutes.
