General information coming once the main faction is okayed. He shouldn't be as much of an issue as this could be.
Army Name: Yakima Army Aeronautical Corps
Army Banner: WIP
Army Specialisations:[/b*] Aircraft and technology recovery.
[b]Army Origins: The YAAC was formed recently after strategic planners determined the necessity of establishing an air presence to gain a crucial advantage in combat. Recounting newly-rediscovered air actions in old-world American conflicts, it was decided that air superiority was a game-changer in strategic policy. With other nations too uninterested in powered flight, this was an avenue that could establish Yakima's competitiveness even over powerhouses like the NCR. Funds were earmarked and the YAAC was established experimentally under the command of newly-minted Air Marshal William S. Rogers under the conditions that it would need to "prove itself to attain permanency in the military." While often ridiculed as expensive, useless, and a drain of personnel and resources, Rogers was able to recruit volunteers to fit his 450-man allotment and begin conducting research into recovering prewar airframes. As of the current situation, the YAAC functions as a ground unit as able company deploys on the ground as an attachment to larger, more established Army units while baker company tends to the home base at Yakima Airfield.
Army Racial Composition: Human only with limited robotic assets (support functions like security patrols; unable to fit inside aircraft): Super mutants are too large to fly in aircraft and there is medical concern about ghouls being torn apart by high-G maneuvers in recovered airframes.
Order of Battle:
Each Section contains roughly fifty people, making a standard company around 200 men.
- Headquarters Company (Independent, roughly the size of a section and not a company-sized force)
-- HQ/1 Administrative Section (mostly officers, clerks, aides, and staff members that make the organization run)
- ABLE Company
-- A/1 Recovery Section
--- First technology recovery team, lightly armed compared to security detail but staffed with professionals trained to locate and retrieve prewar flight technology (mostly former prospectors.)
-- A/2 Security Section
--- Dedicated deployed security team for recovery experts, capable of filling heavier requirements that the recovery teams lack themselves.
-- A/3 Recovery Section
--- Second technology recovery team.
-- A/4 Security Section
--- Dedicated security team for headquarters, trained to patrol and secure the headquarters from sabotage, infiltration, and attacks.
- BAKER Company
-- B/1 Research Section
--- Responsible for analyzing and reverse-engineering artifacts brought back by the recovery teams.
-- B/2 Engineering Section
--- Responsible for repairing and drafting plans for aircraft and their components.
-- B/3 Logistics Section
--- Combat-trained team that maintains logistical equipment to transport personnel and supplies where they need to be.
-- B/4 Engineering Section
--- Responsible for maintenance and expansion of the headquarters base, as well as the analysis of captured airfields and infrastructure.
Headquarters Name: Yakima Airfield, Yakima
Headquarters Description: Located near the capital city, Yakima Airfield is largely out of the frontlines and secure enough for the YAAC's research operations. It is defended by 4/D Section and local Yakima military QRF units in the event of emergency, and in the process of being fortified. It is an old commercial metropolitan airport and is thus undergoing renovations: many personnel live in tents instead of barracks until such time as they can be constructed. It is mostly intact, barring time's damage, as it suffered no nuclear damage from the Great War. Yakima Airfield is spacious enough and equipped with most facilities (ATC, hangars, terminals, warehouses, etc.) to support future air operations. It provides a stable basing point for YAAC deployable groups like able company.
