Babel Armed Military Force - 'BAMF'

The Babel Armed Military Force or BAMF is the military arm of the Remnant Conglomerate. 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 like¹⁾:

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
Cavalry	Vehicular Warfare	Uses light Mechs, and vehicles with infantry support.
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.
Special Project Group²⁾	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.

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.
