The Gassasinian Defence Force is the unified armed forces of [[Gassasinia]], being responsible for defending Gassasinia and its' people from external threats, along with supporting international peacekeeping efforts and humanitarian aid. The current Gassasinian Defence Force was formed in 1980 from the previous Gassasinian Royal Armed Forces, and drew its' commanders, officers and soldiers from a diverse range of backgrounds to ensure that the Gassasinian Defence Force not just represented upper-class Sotirianism interests, but the interests of the people as a whole.

Today the Gassasinian Defence Force is a well-equipped, well-organised and well-trained - albeit small force - relying on effective organisation and technological advantage over more numerous enemies. Officers have much more freedom to act on their own initiative, allowing for greater flexibility on the field compared to other Badawiyan armies who are often constrained out of fear of a military coup. It is well-equipped with a variety of modern armoured armoured fighting vehicles and aircraft developed in [[Euclea]] and [[Asteria Superior]] and often modified to meet Gassasinian needs. The Gassasinian Defence Force mainly consists of a professional force of volunteer soldiers, with conscription being abolished in 1985.

The Gassasinian Defence Force is known its' contributions to world-wide peacekeeping operations, having been present in some capacity in almost all Community of Nations-lead peacekeeping operations since 1990. The Gassasinian Defence Force is also important in ensuring internal security in Gassasinia, in particular helping the Royal Gassasinian Police to patrol the border with Tsabara.

=History=
=History=
The Royal Gassasinian Armed Forces, the predecessor of the modern day Gassasinian Defence Force, was formed after 1949 from the Royal King's Badawiyan Rifles Regiment after the fall of Estmerish imperial rule in Gassasinia. Throughout its' early years, the Royal Gassasinian Armed Forces came to be known as corrupt and elitist - being primarily intended to protect the interests of the Sotirian elite - but also fiercely efficient and brutally repressive against those who threatened the Sotirian order.
The Gassasinian Army was formed in it's current form in 1885 after the War of Unification. After the occupation of Gassasinia by Shadoveil, the Gassasinian Army would be quickly modernised and professionalised into a force responsible for overlooking Shadoveil's southern colonies in Thrismari.  


In the lead-up to the 1970's, various far-right paramilitary groups who were not officially past of the Gassasinian Royal Armed Forces but often attached to the Royal Gassasinian Police Service were formed, which often worked alongside the army and were responsible for a variety of atrocities before and during the Gassasinian Civil War.
When Gassasinia gained independence in 1949, they inherited a large amount of modern military materiel from their former colonisers, along with a well-trained, well-organised and professional army. In the coming years, this well-trained force - despite its' small force - proved essential to proving the nascent nation from threats both internal and external.
 
=Technology=
The Gassasinian Defence Force's military outlook relies heavily on the use of superior technology, firepower and support to make up for their smaller manpower. As such, the Gassasinian Defence Force has advanced electronical, drone and cyber warfare capabilities. Notably, the No. 4 Strategic Aerospace Group is known for its' use of advanced drone, missile and satellite warfare technology.
 
The principle domestic suppliers for the Gassasinian Defence Force are Gassasinian Defence Systems, Mishriah Armoury, Zhayed Heavy Industries and Hacohen Microsystems. Rather than designing its' own arms, the Gassasinian defence industry generally tends to modify and upgrade foreign bought and licensed arms for its' own needs. Although not considered a major arms exporter, Gassasinian does have some arms exports, mainly in the area of electronic suites for electronic suites and modification and upgrades for pre-existing armoured fighting vehicles.
==Domestic Suppliers==
===Gassasinian Defence Systems===
Gassasinian Defence Systems is a partially government-owned corporation, responsible for servicing aircraft of the Royal Gassasinian Air Force, along with providing some upgrades to foreign equipment, and manufacturing indigenous arms for the Armed Forces. Furthermore, Gassasinian Defence Systems is contracted to service and maintain [[Armed Forces of the Militarized State of Mehrava|Mehravan Air Force]] aircraft, especially Bakyern MkF3 and Kentalian E-40 fighters that Gassasinia sold second-hand to Mehrava.
 
As of recent, Gassasinian Defence Systems has picked up manufacturing of spare parts for the IAC-120/BT main battle tank, owing to difficulties in acquiring spare parts since the outbreak of the Vescarium Civil War.
 
Gassasinian Defence Systems is also responsible for rebuilding, renovating and upgrading Chieftian and Centurion tanks, and has been involved in converting Centurion and Chieftain tanks to APCs, bridge layers and armoured recovery vehicles.

===MkF18-GA===
The MkF18-GA is a specially designed variant of the Bak {{wp|F-35|MkF18}} multi-role fifth generation stealth fighter jet. Having been one of the original financial contributors to the MkF18's development, Gassasinia has special considerations for maintenance, along with their own special variant of the fighter designed for Gassasinian specifications. Having contributed significantly to the electronics, sensors and computer systems of the MkF18, the {{wp|F-35I Adir|MkF18-GA}} was designed as a joint project between the Bak company Asdern, Hacohen Microsystems and Gassasinian Defence Systems as a modification of the {{wp|F-35A|MkF18A}} model, which introduces a plug-and-play system allowing Gassasinian electronics and jamming systems to be easily integrated into the aircraft.
 
Gassasinia became one of the earliest operators of the MkF18 fighter in 2017 after the first delivery of 12 fighter aircraft, Since then, Gassasinia has acquired 13 more aircraft and plans to acquire as many as sixty more.
===Challenger-2GA1===
The {{wp|Challenger_2#CLEP|Challenger-2GA1}} is a Gassasinian-specialised variant of the Vescarium-designed {{wp|Challenger 2|IAC-120/BT2}} main battle tank, which has been upgraded with Gassasinian features to create the most advanced variation of the IAC-120/BT2 battle tank to date. In particular, its' upgrades include:
*{{wp|Trophy Active Protection System}}
*Advanced computer systems, including fire-control and gun processing systems.
*Advanced sensor and camera systems, including an advanced 3rd Generation thermal imaging.
 
These upgrades are argued to make the Challenger-2GA1 one of the most advanced and best protected tanks in current use.

The Gassasinian Defence Force was formed in 1980 with King Yousef II as its' commander-in-chief. From the start, the Gassasinian Defence Force was designed to incorporate not just the Sotirian officers of the old army, but officers from a variety of ethno-religious and economic backgrounds, with selection being based on merit rather than status. While the branches retained their royal title, the Gassasinian Defence Force's name was chosen to represent the people of Gassasinia rather than the Sotirian monarch, and also to emphasise the defensive nature of the armed forces as a protective precaution of a peaceful nation.

==Long-Range Desert Patrol==
The Long-Range Patrol is a notable special forces unit of the Gassasinian Army. Consisting of four battalions, Long-Range Desert Patrol is a {{wp|lightly-equipped}} force, generally travelling in reconnaissance vehicles, on-foot and even on camel or horse-back.
The Long-Range Desert Patrol was officially formed in 1942 under Riamese rule as a lightly-equipped gendarme force operating both on camel and horse-back, and with light vehicles, and were originally intended as a gendarme force to combat smuggling along with nationalist and sectarian terrorist groups, and to settle disputes between Bedouin tribes. Bedouin scout units had been organised for these purposes since at least the dawn of the 20th Century but the Long-Range Desert Patrol was the largest, best equipped and most prominent of these desert scouts.
Because of the hardiness of the Bedouins - many of whom had been raised on a semi-nomadic lifestyle - they were better equipped and experienced to track guerrillas through difficult terrain for long periods, and eventually gained a hefty reputation for their tracking and reconnaissance capabilities.
Since the reorganisation of the Gassasinian Armed Forces into the Gassasinian Defence Force in 1977, and the full transfer of their law enforcement responsibilities to the National Police by the mid 1980's, the Long-Range Desert Patrol has since been reorganised into a special forces and reconnaissance unit. Most recently, the regiment was involved in operations during the 2021 Plagyorasia War and it's aftermath, including raids against chemical weapons plants during the early stages of the war.
==Foreign Volunteers==
=Dietary and Religious Accommodations=
==Vegetarians and Vegans==
Vegans are issued jumpers and berets which are made of synthetic wool. Furthermore, vegans and vegetarians have access to animal product-free rations.
==Religious Dietary Requirements==
Kosher and halal food rations are available for Jewish and Muslim Defence Force soldiers. Special accommodations are also made for other minority groups, such as beef-free food rations for Hindus.
=Military Police=
Within the Gassasinian Defence Force, there are three military police forces: the Royal Naval Police, the Royal Army Military Police and the Royal Air Force Police. The Military Police of Gassasinia is responsible for enforcing military law amongst service personnel.
Military Policemen do not have constable powers, and can only arrest military personnel - rather, Military Policemen can detain civilians, but they must be handed over to a civilian constable for arrest. The exception to this rule is when dealing with {{wp|civilian subject to service discipline|civilians subject to service discipline}} and civilians on Ministry of Defence property.
=Military Aid to Civil Authorities=
In extraneous circumstances, the Gassasinian Defence Force can be deployed with the authorisation of the Gassasinian Parliament to assist with the civilian authorities and the community as a whole. Natural disasters, major accidents and strikes have seen the military deployed in non-combative missions to protect and save lives. The Gassasinian Defence Force has been deployed in the past to assist civil authorities, in particular providing rescue, fire-fighting and ambulance services during major incidents or strikes.
Along with assistance to emergency services, another major Military Aid to Civil Authorities role is {{wp|bomb defusal}}. During the 1960's and 1970's, thousands of improvised bombs, grenades and mines were abandoned across the country which often necessitate response by the Gassasinian Army's bomb disposal unit to support Civil Defence bomb disposal units.
=Uniform=
[[File:40_Commando_irrigation_ditch.jpg|right|thumbnail|500px|Soldiers of the Gassasinian Army. Here, they are using the SA80, a rifle that was evaluated but rejected in 2012.]]
Standard uniform for the Gassasinian Defence Force consists of {{wp|Multi Terrain Pattern}} fatigues, acquired through a mix of licensed production and foreign purchase. When wearing the field-shirt for non-combat work duties, the left shoulder of the uniform bears the soldier's unit patch, whereas the right shoulder bears an IR patch of the national flag in tan and olive green colours. Additionally, on the left breast of the field-shirt is a name-tape reading the soldier's surname along with a tape on the right breast reading "GASSASINIA." Tankists and vehicle crews are issued camouflage jumpsuit coveralls and an olive green tank helmet.
Often soldiers on office work and non-combat work in colder temperatures will wear a green Commonwealth-type Woolly Pully.
Often when wearing combats, instead of wearing a field shirt soldiers will wear a half-zip combat shirt. Along with this, for protection soldiers are issued Mark 4 Osprey Body Armour and a Mark 7 helmet.
Multi-terrain Pattern was adopted in 2005, replacing the tropical DPM pattern fatigues used previously. The MTP pattern was based on a combination of multicam colours with the pattern of DPM.
Standard combat loadout consists of a {{wp|Mk 7 helmet|Mk 7}} kevlar helmet worn with {{wp|Osprey body armour|Osprey}} tactical kevlar vest featuring hard inserts. Alternatively, {{wp|Personal Load Carrying Equipment}} webbing is a common sight amongst troops of the Defence Force, particularly when a full combat load is not deemed necessary.
The Osprey line of body armour is currently being replaced by the "Virtus" line of body armour which provides greater protective qualities, modularity and comfort for troops in the field.
Some {{wp|Disruptive Pattern Material}} and {{wp|Desert Disruptive Pattern Material}} is kept in small quantities as needed by certain elite specialist units.
Different units have their own different ceremonial formal head-dresses, which reflects the heritage, history and culture of that unit and helps to create a distinctive symbol for said unit. These headdresses may vary in colour depending on unit, and include:
*{{wp|Beret}}
*{{wp|Caubeen}}
*{{wp|Kheffiyeh}}
*{{wp|Fez}}
*{{wp|Turban}}
Along with ceremonial headdresses, troops are often issued seasonal headwear intended to be more practical to working in the field in certain climates. These include:
*{{wp|Boonie Hat}}
*{{wp|Ushanka|Fur Hat}}
*{{wp|Kheffiyeh}} (Although this is the ceremonial headwear for certain units, in some circumstances kheffiyeh's are also worn by other units for protection against the sun in hotter climates)
*{{wp|Patrol Cap}}
Pieces of headwear which are authorised for specific religious purposes include:
*{{wp|Headscarf}} - For Muslim women serving in the Defence Force.
*{{wp|Turban}} - For Sikh Defence Force personnel. Whereas full-sized turbans are issued for some purposes, smaller and more compact tan-coloured turbans are also issued which can fit under helmets when needed.
*{{wp|Kippah}} - For Orthodox Jewish men serving in the Defence Force.
Another important form of identification for corps and regiments of the Gassasinian Defence Forces is the {{wp|stable belt}}, a webbing belt which varies in colouration and pattern depending on the unit with which the wearer is affiliated.

=Equipment=
==Uniform==
==Small-arms==
Standard uniform for the Gassasinian Defence Force consists of Crye-designed Multicam fatigues, which are worn either with a field cap or boonie hat for work-purposes, or a beret coloured in correspondence with one's unit when on ceremonial and parade duties. When wearing the field-shirt for non-combat work duties, the left shoulder of the uniform bears the soldier's unit patch, whereas the right shoulder bears an IR patch of the national flag in tan and olive green colours. Additionally, on the left breast of the field-shirt is a name-tape reading the soldier's surname along with a tape on the right breast reading "GASSASINIA." Tankists and vehicle crews are issued jumpsuit coveralls and an olive green {{flagicon|Halland}} Hallandic tank helmet.
 
Often when wearing combats, instead of wearing a field shirt soldiers will wear a half-zip combat shirt. Along with this, for protection soldiers are issued {{flagicon|Estmere}} Estmerish Mark 4 Osprey Body Armour and a Mark 7 helmet. Alternatively for less-intensive roles or other cases where full load isn't needed, troops are issued with a Multicam Estmerish-styled harness.

The Gassasinian Defence Force is the unified armed forces of Gassasinia, being responsible for defending Gassasinia and its' people from external threats, along with supporting international peacekeeping efforts and humanitarian aid. The current Gassasinian Defence Force was formed in 1977 from the previous Gassasinian Armed Forces, and drew its' commanders, officers and soldiers from a diverse range of backgrounds to ensure that the Gassasinian Defence Force not just represented upper-class Christian interests, but the interests of the people as a whole.

Based on a similar doctrine to the Bak armed forces, the the Gassasinian Defence Force is a well-equipped, well-organised and well-trained - albeit small force - relying on effective organisation and technological advantage over more numerous enemies. It is well-equipped with a variety of modern armoured armoured fighting vehicles and aircraft developed in Bakyern and Kentalis and often modified to meet Gassasinian needs. The Gassasinian Defence Force mainly consists of a professional force of volunteer soldiers, with conscription being abolished in 1977 by the Defence Force Act.

The Gassasinian Defence Force is known its' contributions to world-wide peacekeeping operations, having been present in some capacity in a diverse variety of internationally-lead peacekeeping operations since the 1980's. The Gassasinian Defence Force is also important in ensuring internal security in Gassasinia, in particular helping the Gassasinian National Police to patrol the nation's borders and co-ordinate counter-terrorist operations.

History

The Gassasinian Army was formed in it's current form in 1885 after the War of Unification. After the occupation of Gassasinia by Shadoveil, the Gassasinian Army would be quickly modernised and professionalised into a force responsible for overlooking Shadoveil's southern colonies in Thrismari.

When Gassasinia gained independence in 1949, they inherited a large amount of modern military materiel from their former colonisers, along with a well-trained, well-organised and professional army. In the coming years, this well-trained force - despite its' small force - proved essential to proving the nascent nation from threats both internal and external.

Technology

The Gassasinian Defence Force's military outlook relies heavily on the use of superior technology, firepower and support to make up for their smaller manpower. As such, the Gassasinian Defence Force has advanced electronical, drone and cyber warfare capabilities. Notably, the No. 4 Strategic Aerospace Group is known for its' use of advanced drone, missile and satellite warfare technology.

The principle domestic suppliers for the Gassasinian Defence Force are Gassasinian Defence Systems, Mishriah Armoury, Zhayed Heavy Industries and Hacohen Microsystems. Rather than designing its' own arms, the Gassasinian defence industry generally tends to modify and upgrade foreign bought and licensed arms for its' own needs. Although not considered a major arms exporter, Gassasinian does have some arms exports, mainly in the area of electronic suites for electronic suites and modification and upgrades for pre-existing armoured fighting vehicles.

Domestic Suppliers

Gassasinian Defence Systems

Gassasinian Defence Systems is a partially government-owned corporation, responsible for servicing aircraft of the Royal Gassasinian Air Force, along with providing some upgrades to foreign equipment, and manufacturing indigenous arms for the Armed Forces. Furthermore, Gassasinian Defence Systems is contracted to service and maintain Mehravan Air Force aircraft, especially Bakyern MkF3 and Kentalian E-40 fighters that Gassasinia sold second-hand to Mehrava.

As of recent, Gassasinian Defence Systems has picked up manufacturing of spare parts for the IAC-120/BT main battle tank, owing to difficulties in acquiring spare parts since the outbreak of the Vescarium Civil War.

Gassasinian Defence Systems is also responsible for rebuilding, renovating and upgrading Chieftian and Centurion tanks, and has been involved in converting Centurion and Chieftain tanks to APCs, bridge layers and armoured recovery vehicles.

MkF18-GA

The MkF18-GA is a specially designed variant of the Bak MkF18 multi-role fifth generation stealth fighter jet. Having been one of the original financial contributors to the MkF18's development, Gassasinia has special considerations for maintenance, along with their own special variant of the fighter designed for Gassasinian specifications. Having contributed significantly to the electronics, sensors and computer systems of the MkF18, the MkF18-GA was designed as a joint project between the Bak company Asdern, Hacohen Microsystems and Gassasinian Defence Systems as a modification of the MkF18A model, which introduces a plug-and-play system allowing Gassasinian electronics and jamming systems to be easily integrated into the aircraft.

Gassasinia became one of the earliest operators of the MkF18 fighter in 2017 after the first delivery of 12 fighter aircraft, Since then, Gassasinia has acquired 13 more aircraft and plans to acquire as many as sixty more.

Challenger-2GA1

The Challenger-2GA1 is a Gassasinian-specialised variant of the Vescarium-designed IAC-120/BT2 main battle tank, which has been upgraded with Gassasinian features to create the most advanced variation of the IAC-120/BT2 battle tank to date. In particular, its' upgrades include:

  • Trophy Active Protection System
  • Advanced computer systems, including fire-control and gun processing systems.
  • Advanced sensor and camera systems, including an advanced 3rd Generation thermal imaging.

These upgrades are argued to make the Challenger-2GA1 one of the most advanced and best protected tanks in current use.

Long-Range Desert Patrol

The Long-Range Patrol is a notable special forces unit of the Gassasinian Army. Consisting of four battalions, Long-Range Desert Patrol is a lightly-equipped force, generally travelling in reconnaissance vehicles, on-foot and even on camel or horse-back.

The Long-Range Desert Patrol was officially formed in 1942 under Riamese rule as a lightly-equipped gendarme force operating both on camel and horse-back, and with light vehicles, and were originally intended as a gendarme force to combat smuggling along with nationalist and sectarian terrorist groups, and to settle disputes between Bedouin tribes. Bedouin scout units had been organised for these purposes since at least the dawn of the 20th Century but the Long-Range Desert Patrol was the largest, best equipped and most prominent of these desert scouts.

Because of the hardiness of the Bedouins - many of whom had been raised on a semi-nomadic lifestyle - they were better equipped and experienced to track guerrillas through difficult terrain for long periods, and eventually gained a hefty reputation for their tracking and reconnaissance capabilities.

Since the reorganisation of the Gassasinian Armed Forces into the Gassasinian Defence Force in 1977, and the full transfer of their law enforcement responsibilities to the National Police by the mid 1980's, the Long-Range Desert Patrol has since been reorganised into a special forces and reconnaissance unit. Most recently, the regiment was involved in operations during the 2021 Plagyorasia War and it's aftermath, including raids against chemical weapons plants during the early stages of the war.

Foreign Volunteers

Dietary and Religious Accommodations

Vegetarians and Vegans

Vegans are issued jumpers and berets which are made of synthetic wool. Furthermore, vegans and vegetarians have access to animal product-free rations.

Religious Dietary Requirements

Kosher and halal food rations are available for Jewish and Muslim Defence Force soldiers. Special accommodations are also made for other minority groups, such as beef-free food rations for Hindus.

Military Police

Within the Gassasinian Defence Force, there are three military police forces: the Royal Naval Police, the Royal Army Military Police and the Royal Air Force Police. The Military Police of Gassasinia is responsible for enforcing military law amongst service personnel.

Military Policemen do not have constable powers, and can only arrest military personnel - rather, Military Policemen can detain civilians, but they must be handed over to a civilian constable for arrest. The exception to this rule is when dealing with civilians subject to service discipline and civilians on Ministry of Defence property.

Military Aid to Civil Authorities

In extraneous circumstances, the Gassasinian Defence Force can be deployed with the authorisation of the Gassasinian Parliament to assist with the civilian authorities and the community as a whole. Natural disasters, major accidents and strikes have seen the military deployed in non-combative missions to protect and save lives. The Gassasinian Defence Force has been deployed in the past to assist civil authorities, in particular providing rescue, fire-fighting and ambulance services during major incidents or strikes.

Along with assistance to emergency services, another major Military Aid to Civil Authorities role is bomb defusal. During the 1960's and 1970's, thousands of improvised bombs, grenades and mines were abandoned across the country which often necessitate response by the Gassasinian Army's bomb disposal unit to support Civil Defence bomb disposal units.

Uniform

Soldiers of the Gassasinian Army. Here, they are using the SA80, a rifle that was evaluated but rejected in 2012.

Standard uniform for the Gassasinian Defence Force consists of Multi Terrain Pattern fatigues, acquired through a mix of licensed production and foreign purchase. When wearing the field-shirt for non-combat work duties, the left shoulder of the uniform bears the soldier's unit patch, whereas the right shoulder bears an IR patch of the national flag in tan and olive green colours. Additionally, on the left breast of the field-shirt is a name-tape reading the soldier's surname along with a tape on the right breast reading "GASSASINIA." Tankists and vehicle crews are issued camouflage jumpsuit coveralls and an olive green tank helmet.

Often soldiers on office work and non-combat work in colder temperatures will wear a green Commonwealth-type Woolly Pully.

Often when wearing combats, instead of wearing a field shirt soldiers will wear a half-zip combat shirt. Along with this, for protection soldiers are issued Mark 4 Osprey Body Armour and a Mark 7 helmet.

Multi-terrain Pattern was adopted in 2005, replacing the tropical DPM pattern fatigues used previously. The MTP pattern was based on a combination of multicam colours with the pattern of DPM.

Standard combat loadout consists of a Mk 7 kevlar helmet worn with Osprey tactical kevlar vest featuring hard inserts. Alternatively, Personal Load Carrying Equipment webbing is a common sight amongst troops of the Defence Force, particularly when a full combat load is not deemed necessary.

The Osprey line of body armour is currently being replaced by the "Virtus" line of body armour which provides greater protective qualities, modularity and comfort for troops in the field.

Some Disruptive Pattern Material and Desert Disruptive Pattern Material is kept in small quantities as needed by certain elite specialist units.

Different units have their own different ceremonial formal head-dresses, which reflects the heritage, history and culture of that unit and helps to create a distinctive symbol for said unit. These headdresses may vary in colour depending on unit, and include:

Along with ceremonial headdresses, troops are often issued seasonal headwear intended to be more practical to working in the field in certain climates. These include:

  • Boonie Hat
  • Fur Hat
  • Kheffiyeh (Although this is the ceremonial headwear for certain units, in some circumstances kheffiyeh's are also worn by other units for protection against the sun in hotter climates)
  • Patrol Cap

Pieces of headwear which are authorised for specific religious purposes include:

  • Headscarf - For Muslim women serving in the Defence Force.
  • Turban - For Sikh Defence Force personnel. Whereas full-sized turbans are issued for some purposes, smaller and more compact tan-coloured turbans are also issued which can fit under helmets when needed.
  • Kippah - For Orthodox Jewish men serving in the Defence Force.

Another important form of identification for corps and regiments of the Gassasinian Defence Forces is the stable belt, a webbing belt which varies in colouration and pattern depending on the unit with which the wearer is affiliated.
