Confederate Armed Forces

The Confederate Military was an aspect of the Terran Confederacy.

Overview
As the Confederacy assumed dominance over the Koprulu Sector through its success in the Guild Wars, only to be faced by numerous rebellions in the aftermath, it is not surprising that it possessed a large and diverse military. The following known branches existed, most of which were later conscripted into the Terran Dominion

Command
The military command structure for the Confederacy was based on Tarsonis though had branches on other planets as well. Known aspects include;


 * Confederate Command (general command)
 * Confederate High Command
 * Confederacy Marine Command

Ground Units
Confederate ground units, despite their different fields of expertise, all followed a similar set of doctrines. Among them was the need to keep their bases tight and efficent, the engrained doctrine being that the smaller the area, the less terrain one has to guard. The result was often a crowded series of structures, with just enough room so that personnel and vehicles could move between them, the visual result akin to an anthill.

Known ground units include;


 * Colonial Militia (numerous sub branches as per planet)
 * Confederate Army
 * Colonial Rangers
 * Confederate Armored Vehicle Corps (possibly non-canon)
 * Confederate Marine Corps
 * Confederacy Security Marines

Air/Space Units

 * Colonial Fleet
 * Confederate Air Force
 * Sector Patrol

Intelligence/Espionage

 * Confederate Intelligence Corps
 * Ghost Program
 * Confederate Research and Development Division

Squadrons
The Confederacy featured a number of military wings called Squadrons. Squadrons were combined armed formations, integrating ground and space assets into a single unit, that enjoyed greater autonomy under the Confederate command structure, though were subordinate to the Confederate Marine Corps. After the fall of the Confederacy, some of these Squadrons was absorbed into the Terran Dominion.

Known Squadrons include;


 * Alpha Squadron
 * Cerberus Recon Squad
 * Delta Squadron
 * Epsilon Squadron
 * Gamma Squadron
 * Nova Squadron
 * Omega Squadron
