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.

Division A
Specializes in urban and suburban combat.
255,000 Infantry
145 HL-22
30 HT-11
30 HAA-87
10 HR-B11

5 HR-B11

Divison E
Specializes in mountain combat.
150,000 Infantry
125 HL-22
10 HAA-87
15 HR-B11

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.

The Air Force is divided into eight fleets, described below. Fleets do not usually operate independently of each other.

First Aero Fleet
Serves as an offensive fleet, with fighter support.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Aircraft

HHI-22

The HHI-22 is used in conjunction with cruisers and frigates during close range ship warfare, and provides air support for non-carrier ships. It can fill a variety of roles, depending upon the need at the time, and it is this versitality which has earned it a lasting role in Naval and Airforce operations.

HHI-B6

The HHI-B6 is the standard for an anti-tank support helicopter, and the Hispanic military makes extensive use of them. Their powerful weaponry includes guns, rockets, and missiles, decimating enemy tanks. It is the most common attack helicopter in the Hispanic military.

HHS-05

The HHI-92 is a clear example of how a support craft can be of use to the military. With large cargo and transport capabilities, powerful machine guns allow the HHI-92 to be useful as an anti-helicopter and anti-infantry weapon, and its speed makes it great for quick evacuations.

UH-60%20Black%20Hawk.jpg

Crew: 2 Pilots, 1-3 Aircrew, depending on variant and mission
Capacity: 2,645 lb of cargo internally, including 14 troops or 6 stretchers, or 8,000 lb (UH-60A) or 9,000 lb of cargo externally

HHS-03

The same design as the HHS-05 and HHS-04, but outfitted with medical gear to serve as a flying hospital for wounded patients. Heavy armor defends the craft from bullets, at the cost of any weaponry. Used to ferry wounded troops from the battle to a military hospital.

HHS-04

The last member of the HHS family, this is used to transport troops or cargo short distances. All guns have also been sacrificed in order to make more room for cargo, but armor, similar to the one found in the HHS-05, protects the interior. Usually used to transport from a safe location to a relatively safe location, but occasionally used in dire combat situations.

HAB-99

The HAB-99 is one of the best strategic and tactical bombers in the world, whose diversity insures it a long place on the battlefield. The only bomber used by the Hispanic military that is not a prototype, the HAB-99 promises to be the staple bomber of the Hispanic military for a couple decades at least. The first one came into serivce in 1999, and since then, the Hispanic military has only ocntinued to build more, creating a fleet that is a force to be reckoned with.

HAC-90

The HAC-90 is the main cargo aircraft used by Hispanic logistical personnel. Requires landing on an airstrip, can carry huge amounts of supplies or 250 passengers each trip, making it a better cargo transporter than a troop one. Not designed for use in combat situations, it should travel from one secured area to another, and cannot withstand heavy fire or evade enemy aircraft.

Nuclear Weaponry

The Hispanic Free State currently has four active nuclear warheads, and an undisclosed amount of dormant ones. The four active ones are all located on two nuclear submarines, and these submarines can be positioned around the world for a nuclear strike. Hispanic bombers are also able to use nuclear weaponry, and drop it, so the potential for Hispanic nuclear attack is a profound one.
