The ground troops of of Nag Ehgoeg.

Army

Numbers: 3 million soilders (~0.028% of population)
Primary arment: Steyr AUG (assult rifle), Colt Agent (Revolver), Spetsnaz GRU (Combat Knife), grenades.
Support arms (each at a 1 to 5 ratio to primary arms): Barrett Model 82 (Sniper Rifle), Spetsnaz GRU; Daewoo USAS-12 (Fully automatic shotgun), Spetsnaz GRU; Milan Missile Laucher, Spetsnaz GRU; M2A1-7 (flame thrower), Colt Agent, Spetsnaz GRU; FN P90, Colt Agent, Spetsnaz GRU, grenades, command radio.
Armour: Flak Jacket

Units

A ten man squad consists of:

4 Privates with Primary Arms
1 Private, Sniper
1 Private, Close Arms Support
1 Private, Anti-Tank
1 Private, Close Quarters Support
1 Corporal, Primary Arms
1 Sergeant, Command Radio Equipment

Nagian Squads are typically led by a Sergeant.
A Platoon consists of 5 squads (50 men), and is typically led by a Lieutenant.
A Company consists of two Platoons, led under a Captain.
A Battalion consists of ten Companies, led by a Colonel.
A Brigade is ten Battalions, typically under a Brigadier General.
Divisions are 100,000 strong, led typically by a Major General.
Nag Ehgoeg maintains two Corps – Alpha and Number One – under the two most senior Lieutenant Generals.

Nagian soldiers are well trained, and the government tries to equip them as best as they can afford. The AK 47 served as standard issue until 850 006 M3 when it was replaced by the Steyr AUG. Many Nagian soldiers, including some officers, have never actually seen real combat and while they are impeccably drilled, they are no match for combat hardened veterans. Nagian soldiers will typically not follow suicidal orders unless it is in defence of their home, but Nagian commanders tend to be hesitant about giving orders they themselves wouldn’t follow. Desertions in the Nagian Army are almost unheard of – there is more honour among the grunts in surrendering than running.
Unlike in most militaries, education is highly prized and the civilians of Nag Ehgoeg are far more likely to respect a man with a Doctorate than a man who commands thousands of men. For this reason, Nagian Officers (of all military branches) tend to prefix their rank with civilian qualifications they have – leading to a large number of “Dr-Generals” and the like.

Special Forces

Men: 1 Million (~0.014%)
Primary arms: H&K MP5 (SMG), Freedom Arms Casull (Revolver), Silenced Walther PPK (pocket pistol), British Commando Knife, Grenades and Semtex.
Support Arms (1:5): Weatherby Mark V Rifle, MP5, Knife; Benelli M3 Super 90 (shotgun), Casull, Knife, Grenades and Semtex; Nagian SS-SA Missile Launcher, MP5, Knife; Steyr AUG with under-slung grenade launcher, Silenced Walther PPK, Knife, Grenades and Semtex.
Armour: Sim. American SWAT

Units

Special Forces squads tend to be hand picked units, and thus don't have a "standard" structure. In the event that they are mass deployed, it is likely to be in units of 8 with the Corporal carrying the AUG and the Sergeant carrying the Benelli.

The Special Forces are the best of the Nagian Army. They are specially trained by the Nagian Intelligence Agencies in Black Ops and surgical military insertions. In a straight fight, the hardened combat specialists of other nations could probably make mincemeat of the NSF – but fortunately, that has yet to happen. The NSF excels at fighting in close quarters, such as in cities or jungle terrain – but in the open their weaponry tends to be too short ranged to be effective.

Nag Ehgoeg tends to promote its Special Forces are wearing fully enclosed black armour. This is a fallacy, while the Special Forces armour can be fully enclosed (to protect from chemical weapons) with minor adaptations the standard deployment is not with fully enclosed armour. Furthermore, while the Special Forces black is displayed as standard to the international community, there are three different colour schemes of camouflage for desert, urban, vegetative and night time environments.

Almost every member of the NSF tend to have enough degree of medical training to serve as field medics, and they are more than capable of fighting as individuals.

Members of the NSF are highly disciplined, but when captured often surprise their captors when put under questioning. Members of the NSF are trained to resist torture by revealing information that does not endanger future missions, and spreading misinformation when under duress. “Need to know basis” is one of the most heard phrases in the NSF, and its members have even been brainwashed into believing false information when it seems likely that they would be captured.

The eight man squad of Special Forces is known as a Lance. Squads numbering between 3 and 13 are known as Spears.
3 Lances (or between 2 and 5 Spears) are known as a Trident.
7 Tridents form an Atlatl
Larger groups are designated by the number of Atlatls in the group – 3 Atlatls would be known as an A-3. The exception is the mass deployment of Special Forces in Israel which is known as the “Jerusalem Regiment” (even though their mandate is primarily centred on protecting Gaza).

Special Forces: BOS

Armour: Classified, Top Secrete

BOS project classified. Vermillion level clearence required.

Little is known about the BOS, what is known is that they are a branch of the Special Forces and seem to be under the command of Dr-General Jett Fango. They also seem to have two unique types of armour – one seems impossibly bulky and was shown to the world when the Dr-General made a public address. The other type of armour appears to be made of some type of metal – but surely that could not be the entirety of the armour as metal breaches inwards and isn’t the best choice for stopping bullets.

Militia

Nag Ehgoeg commissions a privately owned militia, run by the Nagian Gun Organisation (NGO). The NGO is similar to a cross between the American NRA and the British TA. Private Citizens are trained in weapon usage, belonging to a "club" of sorts and can be paid into military service. Due to a hang over from it's founding days, Nag Ehgoeg requires all citizens to undergo a years military service. In the past this was "got around" with the introduction of military schools, now membership in the Militia is increasingly common.

Numbers: 1 Million (~0.014%) fully trained militia members of service age, willing to go to war for the wages Nag Ehgoeg pays at any given time, (and can be equipped with weapons).
Primary arms: Intratec TEC-9 ("pistol"/SMG) and either a Saiga-12 (pump action shogun) or AK 47 (assault rifle)
Support Arms: Whatever the hell the citizen owns, likely knifes.
Armour: Med. Ballistic Vest (sim. American police)

The militia is cannon fodder, plain and simple. They know they are the last resort, and that if they’re deployed they’re not likely to survive against professional soldiers. Fortunately, as they are a last resort, plenty of people sign up knowing they’ll get to handle automatic weapons legally with almost no chance of ever being deployed in real combat. When the militia is deployed, it’s members are nearly always given perception altering drugs to assure loyalty – turning average Joes into die hard (though inept) fighting machines.

The Militia has no standard deployment, as fighting units are arranged by the NGO on a local level. Typically they are deployed in mob squads of around 50 designed to slow down more apt foes.

BOS: Raiders

Numbers: Classified
Primary Arms: Classified
Support Arms: None listed
Armour: Med. Ballistic Vest

Classified. See central BOS file for details.

Little is known about the "Radiers" branch of the militia other than the fact they are somehow connected to the BOS.
