History

The modern mitary structure came into being in the early 17th century, under King Santos VI, who centralized power and combined the three militaries into a single cohesive fighting force. It has evolved into an elite force, as modern military strategy has decided to outfit its soldiers with excellent weaponry, excellent training, and overall great equipment, at the expense of an expansive military. As a result, the armed forces are very technologically powerful, but small compared to other similarily sized nations. However, the elite status of the Hispanic military makes it a powerful ally, capable of carrying out small, strategically important operations, at the expense of the ability to effectively occupy a state.

The Armed Forces

Navy

The Hispanic navy is divided into two fleets, the North Atlantic Fleet and the South Atlantic Fleet. The Southern Fleet is much smaller, and based in Tropico, and meant only as a patrol for the region. Meanwhile, the North Atlantic comprises the bulk of the Hispanic navy worldwide, and individual ships are often split from the fleet for small-scale missions. Hispania believes in a large navy, with ships of normal quality. Air support exists in the forms of fighters and helicopters.

Army

The Army represents the largest branch of the Hispanic military, employing over five million Hispanic citizens. The Army is divided into ten divisions, each specializing in a certain type of terrain. About 0.003% of available manpower serves as frontline troops. The Hispanic military prides itself on being able to potently carry out small strategic operations, and serves as an excellent support military for an ally.

In their specific terrains, each division is about five times better than an average infantry division. Due to high levels of training and weaponry, each soldier is about two times better than the average soldier, regardless of the terrain they fight in.

Vehicles are generally two times better than the average due to good Hispanic designs.

Air Force

The Air Force is not as sizable as others, but large nonetheless, and effective at what it does. The Hispanic High Command prides itself on its fleet of helicopters, which vary between attack and transport. The aircraft are all of original Hispanic design, as is all weaponry, and not available for sale.

Hispanic Weaponry

Vehicles

HL-22

The HL-22 is the most common tank in the Hispanic armed forces, and is used primarily as an anti-tank and anti-infantry weapon. Often used in conjunction with the HT series, it is a formidable opponent. In addition to its firepower, it can also serve as an armoured transport, and can carry six troops at a time, in addition to the three crew members.

Speed Road 68 km/h (41.5 mph)
Off-road 49 km/h (30 mph)

HT-11

The HT-11 enjoys use in the Hispanic military, despite nearing its twentieth anniversary since adoption. Developed in the late 1980s, the HT-11 is the only class of heavy tank run by the Hispanic military. Heavy armor, firepower, and anti-infantry capabilities make it a behemouth in battle, despite the Hispanic preference of speed and mobility. It enjoys use in several Army divisions, though to a much lesser extent than his cousin.

Off-road 48 km/h

HAA-87

The HAA-87 is an APC modifed to serve as an AA battery using the Crotale armament. It still serves its original purpose as an APC, and doubles up with AA. It is also equipped with a small machine gun to fend off enemy infantry, making it a highly versatile weapon in the Hispanic military.

Weight 13.5 tonnes
Length 7.35 m
Width 2.9 m
Height 2.77 m
Crew 2 (+16 passengers)
Armour 10 mm steel
Primary armament Crotale NG, 15 missiles
Secondary armament 12.7 mm NSV machine gun
Operational range 900 km

HR-B11

The HR-B11's armor is designed to defeat .50 caliber armor piercing ammunition, 12-pound anti-tank mine, and 155 mm artillery from 15 m above. The ASV can survive a direct hit from a Rocket Propelled Grenade and be functional although crew deaths and injuries are likely depending on where the RPG hits.[1] As for chemical and biological attacks the ASV’s gas particulate air filtration system provides additional protection. Unlike some other designs which resemble conventional trucks, the armour is angled presenting no vertical surfaces. . Front and rear independent suspension provides smooth highway speeds of up to 60 mph, while it is still capable of fording 5 foot depths of water, climbing gradients of 60%, and overcoming obstacles of two feet. Video cameras and recorders offer live feed which can be transmitted via sattelite link to military headquarters. This is a recon vehicle, used primarily for scouting purposes.

HJ-06

The Hispanic military jeep is a fast, lightly armored vehicle, used by logistic personnel to move around secured zones. It is rarely seen in a combat situation, though the back may be outfitted to fit a small machine gun if a need ever arises. Can fit two passangers, and a driver.

HC Series

The most common truck in the Hispanic military, it is distinguished by extreme mobility compared to standard 5 ton trucks due to all-wheel drive combined with very large low-pressure tires. It has been extremely important in transporting logistics behind quick-moving forces based on the HL-22 tank.

Comes in several variations:

The HC-02A and HC-02B cargo trucks carry all types of equipment, especially ammunition. A crane is mounted at the rear of the vehicle.

The HC-05 tanker refuels tactical vehicles and helicopters in forward locations.

The HC-04 tractor tows the trailer-mounted missile systems.

The HC-09 recovery vehicle uses a lift-and-tow system to recover disabled vehicles in two-to-three minutes. It mounts a recovery winch, a crane and a large storage box.

Length: 32.1 ft - 36.7 ft, based on variation.
Width: 8.5 ft (2.6 m)
Height: 7.8 ft (2.4 m)
Weight: 31 - 49 tons, based on variation.
