At long last the chiefs of staff have sent in their military requirements.
Some may require a poll but most will not as they are requests to the DIA and Governors.
Facilities:
For aircraft maintenance reasons but also as defence facilities the air chiefs have requested 3 new Aerospace facilities to be built at bases on our Eastern coast.
Particular attention should be given to re enforcing our defence capability on our south east flank. Transcendance Academy or Crystalis.
They have also noted our western coast could benefit from two Aerospace complexes in the near future. Happily with our ventures into space these centres will benefit from the extra nutrient and energy resources transmitted planetwards.
It was also noticed we have a lack of sensors. we request Gov to attend to this but it is not a high priority at present.
Seabases
The air chiefs believe we need two new sea bases in the western ocean, effectively to act as staging posts but also for patrolling activity. Nobody wants a surprise attack from the west.
With the discovery of NG already and BE in 3 turns we will have the wherewithal to build clean units.
What we are missing is Silksteel for a formidable defence from air and missle attack espcially when combined with AAA capability.
The chiefs of staff ask for the immediate commission of two foil probe units or other probe team possibility. Both these units for the Eastern Sea.
Also as Yang is starting a missle skimship we may need one ourselves or an IOD.
A further sea going pod buster for the western ocean patrol would not go amiss.
A key question is should we build chaos attack units ( infantry, sea and air or wait for fusion). Currently Yang is introducing Silksteel garrisons and if he acquires AMA then chaos would have limited impact.
However the chiefs of staff did not think they should wait for Shard ( still to be researched and developed ) before we commenced building our liberation force.
The view would be to start the build up and upgrade when possible.
For the invasion force we need 3 cruiser transports maybe 4 in case of casulties. It will be great to have the Maritime Control Centre in 3 turns without rushing,(though New Suez may wish to build one of the probe units).
So what infantry, rover and marines troop complement are we thinking of.
Well that depends on how much airpower we use and if we commission missles. It also depends on how many bases we feel we need to liberate to obtain a 'no threat from the HIVE situation'. Our expeditionary force will probably require at least 12 garrison and 10 rovers and perhaps some advance probes.
From where we are now MY2257 we should aim to have capable liberation force ready by MY2277.
The force will comprise, clean, fusion powered units with fusion gun capability,at least (perhaps with some Shard). Our key home bases will have silksteel AAA defenders.
Finally there are some other points to note.
Do I need to poll regarding the building of fission or fusion conventional missiles.
I would like discussion on this, and then I' ll poll. The weapons are aggressive and may not be viewed by the wider planet citizens as 'peaceful' defensive armour.
If no missiles policy then we will need to beef up are airpower. We probably need at least 15 - 20 best attack aircraft for a blitzkrieg approach (Assuming choppers will not be in production yet. (But that can be reviewed, nearer the time)
In deed it may be viewed as a declaration of warlike intent.
I imagine, even with clean military units a decision will have to be taken re changing to 'Green' SE setting.

in general to the requests Herc, I'll see about what spcecifically can be done by Akiria.
... j/k, I think now isn't so bad a time to build them, since we'll have BE iminently to give them a clean upgrade and we can upgrade troops to higher weapons as possible and needed.
