Ground Control - Military RP [OOC, Sign-up]
Posted: Sun Feb 17, 2008 12:05 pm
They had said that with the development of ever more powerful orbital and deep space weaponry, pundits had said that the infantry unit was an obsolete part of war - a needless waste of possible pilots and gunners. Even Space Marines, long the object of idolization by many, was no longer necessary. However, history was to prove them wrong.
Battle of Trevish - RGA forces, though having superior orbital firepower in place, lost to the determined FCS infantry.
Framid Invasion - UNSC assault on NA emplacements stopped by lack of manpower.
Battle for Parifh - RGA forces, though out-numbering and out-gunning PRC space forces, are defeated by PRC superior Space Marines in the close-combat boarding battle that broke out.
Enter the legendary company; Echo Company, 3rd Battalion, 7th Infantry Regiment. Breaker of the 4-year Siege of Sarinihal, in Terran Contested Space. Celebrated lone survivors of the grueling 15-day battle for Drevisk Ridge, eventually leading to the defeat of NA forces and re-taking of lost FCS land. The list of achievements go on...
Basically, you are an officer in Echo Company. It is your job to carry out the wishes of your superiors, if you so choose.
To sign up, please fill out this form:
Now, you can apply for one of four different positions (You can choose which one you wish to be named, though it will hold no difference, e.g. a Captain is no different from a Major, at least in this RP):
Captain/Major: There is only one captain/major. This is in ground combat terms, not naval combat terms, so you don't command a ship, rather you command the Company. It is your job to set objectives and plan overall strategic plans.
First Lieutenant/Second Lieutenant: There are anywhere from 2 to 8 lieutenants, depending on how many people join. You are in control of a platoon. Your job is to make sure you are maximizing the effectiveness of troop placement and plan on an operational level.
Corporal/Staff Sergeant: There are anywhere from 4 up of Corporals/Staff Sergeants. You are actually in the fray, so your character will be exposed to actual combat. You control a squad (section, patrol, crew, whatever your country calls it). Your job is to make effective use of the resources at your disposal and plan on a tactical level.
Lance Corporal/Sergeant: These are optional. They are much closer to actual soldiers, and command individual fireteams. Their job is to coordinate troops.
More paperwork will be given to you once places have been finalized.
