0 series divisions are non-standard divisions raised by Sober Thought's Community Defence Forces whose divisional number ends in zero.

Generally speaking, the are entirely staffed by regular Land Service, more likely a reconfiguration of unused corps or army assets than a truly ersatz division. Armoured or armoured infantry divisions will look and operate in a substantially similar manner to their conventionally formed siblings. However, airborne divisions will look different (because there are no reguarly consistituted one upon which to model) so that is what is described here.

Listed below are the unit numbers and names for a hypothetical first airborne division and the formula for determining the names in subsequent waves. In the formulæ, w = wave of one hundred million national population, and n, x and y = separate sequences in the Land Service.

1 / w Airborne Brigade

  • 1st / 3w-2 Airborne Infantry Battalion
  • 2nd / 3w-1 Airborne Infantry Battalion
  • 3rd / 3w AIrborne Infantry Battalion
  • 1st / 4w-3 Pack Artillery Battalion (Airborne)

2 / w Airborne Brigade

  • 3rd / 3w-2 Airborne Infantry Battalion
  • 4th / 3w-1 Airborne Infantry Battalion
  • 5th / 3w AIrborne Infantry Battalion
  • 5th / 4w-3 Pack Artillery Battalion (Airborne)

3 / w Airborne Brigade

  • 6th / 3w-2 Airborne Infantry Battalion
  • 7th / 3w-1 Airborne Infantry Battalion
  • 8th / 3w AIrborne Infantry Battalion
  • 13th / 4w-3 Pack Artillery Battalion (Airborne)

Airborne Combat Support Brigade

  • n Field Artillery Battalion (Airborne Anti-Tank)
  • x Airborne Reconnaissance Battalion
  • y Combat Engineering Battalion (Airborne)

  • Transport Battalion
  • Supply Battalion
  • Maintenance Engineering Battalion
  • Administration Battalion
