====== Babel Armed Military Force - 'BAMF' ======


The Babel Armed Military Force or //BAMF// is the military arm of the [[shards:bts]]. The BAMF military shares a single branch of navy and marines combined under a naval rank structure and answer to the Lord Admiral of the BAMF.




===== About BAMF =====

Commanded overall by //Lord Admiral// (Placeholder), Marines fill the combat roles in the largest numbers while officers command not only them but also their young void-navy and fill most command roles. Both the navy and marines share the same dress uniforms but for obvious reasons marines often wear fatigues and combat-oriented uniforms while on duty. 

For obvious reasons a marine captain, sharing a similar rank with the captain of a ship does not have the expertise or knowledge to command a vessel. There is, despite the eventual split in duties when reaching command rank, the expectation that all enlisted men and women are combat trained and able to perform infantry duties should the need arise. 


==== Organization ====
 
Bamf is broken down into a very traditional line organization that ranges from a //Corps// of 50,000 marines down to a fireteam of just 3-4 marines. 

The size of a group and its leadership often looks like((This table is mostly for backround lore. Dont worry about unit sizes in RP)):

^ Command Type ^ Strength ^ Commander ^ Notes ^
| Corps | 50,000 +/- | Major | Contains 2-divisions |
| Division | 25,000 +/- | Captain | Contains 4-5 brigades |
| Brigade | 5,000 +/- | 1st Lieutenant | Contains 3-8 battalions |
| Battalion | 300-1,000 | 2nd Lieutenant | Contains 10-15 companys |
| Company | 100-250 | Sergeant Major/ Command Sergeant | Contains 2-4 platoons |
| Platoon | 50-90 | Master Sergeant/ Staff Sergeant | Contains +/- 5-9 squads |
| Squad | 10-15 | Master Corporal / Sergeant | Contains 3-4 fireteams |
| Fireteam | 3-5 | Lance Corporal | Average team size |

For larger engagements involving multiple corps a //Corps Command// is established with either the senior commander or appointed Admiral in command of the multiple corps. Corps, however, are made to be mostly autonomous in most regards; Operating on individual objectives and in sync with other corps.

There are many types of Marine Corps types:

^ Type ^ Purpose ^ Notes ^
| [[nation:bts:bamf:cavalry|Cavalry]] | Vehicular Warfare | Uses light Mechs, and vehicles with infantry support. |
| [[nation:bts:bamf:ost|Shock]] | Shock Infantry | Uses heavy infantry-grade armor mixed with medium and light armors equipped with propulsion packs to rapidly break through enemy lines, or to launch from ships planetside for shock and awe operations. |
| [[nation:bts:bamf:spg|Special Project Group]]((There is only one SPG.))| Recon/ Tactical | BAMF special forces, Use specialized, unorthodox, and flexible doctrines to outmaneuver or outsmart enemies. |
| Mechanized/ Armored |Mechanized/ Armored | Armored warfare involves tanks and heavier mechs against hard targets with infantry support. |  
| Sky Corps | Airborne specialists | Uses aircraft to rapidly deploy into or behind hostile environments |

==== Uniforms and Colors ====

BAMF uses primarily dark greys, greens, and gold colorings that camouflage and mesh well with their dark homeworld of Ereshkigal. 

The basic marine uniform is made from a dark grey fire-retardant nylon, cotton, and wool set of fatigues with a white cotton undershirt. It also comes with a pair of comfortable and waterproof leather knee-high boots, and waterproof leather and oiled greatcoat with a peaked collar. The enlisted uniform comes with a peaked and brimmed waterproof cap. For officers, there is a garrison cap but otherwise, the uniform is the same with the exception of rank identification.

The Naval uniform consists of a pair of comfortable blouses and trousers with accompanying duty/holster belts and polished brass-gold buttons and leg-garters with leather shoes. The officer's uniform comes with a standard garrison cap, ribbon rack, epilets, rank-tabs, and white-cotton undershirt. This uniform is the standard issue of naval-personnel.
