The Babel Armed Military Force or BAMF is the military arm of the 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.

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.

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⁾:

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 X main types of Marine Corps types:

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

The standard-issue BAMF military equipment is as follows:

The Calliburn weapons system is the standard issue BAMF issued firearm. It has several configurations for a variety of roles. It exclusively uses a 6.5mm caseless full metal jacket round across each platform.

The Rifle and carbine configurations are roughly the same with the exception of the carbine variant having a much shorter barrel and stock. Both variants come with both iron sights and a Picatinny rail but more often than not excels with a simple reflex sight. The base calliburn also comes with a built-in flip-screen that with a built-in sensor under the barrel works as a short-range life signs detector up to 50m.

Caliburn base rifle configuration

The support variant of the Caliburn is heavier with a reinforced heavy barrel, built-in deployable tripod, and foregrip for increased control. And while it can use the standard 20-round magazines it has a specially designed magwell to accept 50-round drum magazines. While comparatively low in drum-capacity compared to most firearms of its role the support variant has proven a staple for support gunners by offering considerable accuracy and reliability and offers exemplary barrel life compared to other support weapons that wear down after prolonged engagement. These traits allowed BAMF support gunners to outclass their competition in the old war when firefights became constantly protracted and BAMF came out on top due to better training and equipment.

• Optimal Range: +/- 400m.
• Fire Rate: 700rpm.
• Capacity: 50 Round drums.

Calliburn Support Variant

The marksman variant of the Calliburn is longer and more direct in its function as a weapons system.

• Optimal Range: +/- 1km.
• Fire Rate: 120rpm.
• Capacity: 20 round magazines.
