The Armed Forces of Dniegua (Dnieguan: Gemmestnah Koalitiony av Manvatnikov od Dnieguiya) is the Federal Military forces of the nation of Dniegua. Comprised of the Army, Air Force, Navy, Naval Infantry and Air-Landing forces. Dniegua has a strong military tradition, wherein in midevil times, much of the tribes that eventually made up Dniegua had strong martial traditions. It has been said that for Dnieguan people, Military service is a way of life. The Armed Forces are controlled by the Commander-in-Cheif, the current Hetman of Dniegua, Petr Venevitinov. Leadership is controlled by the Hetman-General, Gen. Bogdan Razumtsky, while the commander of operations, the Chief of the General Staff, Gen. Vidar Fyodorovich, coordinates battle and humanitarian operational decisions. From the earliest days, the Military of Dniegua has been a vital part of Dnieguan history, and permeates many sectors of society.

The formal founding date of the current incarnation of the Dnieguan military is officially 16 Febuary 1302 when Hetman Garmin II formally created both the Army and Navy by royal decree. However, the Hetmanate Army traces its origins back to the original standing Cossack Hoards of the 8th-4th century BC. Having gone through many versions in its life, the Dnieguan military draws culture and inspirations from a number of backgrounds, and is diverse in both tradition and styles.

History

The official history of the Dnieguan Armed Forces dates to sometime around 600 BCE, though it is likely that military history predates even that; the earliest recorded history concerning the tribes that occupied Dniegua simply dates from this era. The Dnieguan people by and large have always been a marshal culture, constantly in a state of conflict with one another in the earliest eras of civilization.

Throughout much of the 18th, 19th and 20th century, Dniegua was involved in a series of long, violent and bloody wars throughout the Skandera continent with neighboring Temuair, Gratislavia. Sieuxerr, Estovinia and Austrasien. The so called "bloody years" saw over 45 wars fought in a 250 year period, with Dniegua having forces involved in nearly all them, principally due to former Hetmans policies of military sales, wherein units were available for "rent" to foreign nations for significant prices. These prices often were in order, however; the average Cossack soldier was expected to be far more experienced than his contemporary equal, and far more willing to fight.

Dniegua played an active role in the Second Skandar War, participating in combat operations against neighboring Gratislavia, resulting in significant gains and losses on various fronts.

In 2015, the Dnieguan Armed Forces, mostly the Navy and Airforce, launched Operation: Cointoss, the Dnieguan invasion and pacification of neighboring Gratislavia during the 2015 Royalist uprising.

Branches

Army

Main Article: Dnieguan Army
The Dnieguan Army, or Land Force, is the primary land-arm of the Dnieguan Armed Forces. Encompassing forces whos express purpose it is to conduct combat or peacekeeping operations on land, the Dnieguan Army contains the highest amount of Conscripts in the armed forces as a percentile. The Army is organized into units called brigyads, while the Homeguard, a national Gendarme like force, organize themselves into localized battalion sized formations. The Army maintains 6 foreign deployment bases, three of which are located outside of Skandera.

Navy

Main Article: Dnieguan Navy
Main Article: Dnieguan Naval Infantry
The Dnieguan Royal Navy is the sea-arm of Dniegua. The Naval Infantry are a subordinate sea-born military force of the Navy, which exists as the Dnieguan Navy's principal maritime landing and expeditionary force. The Dnieguan Naval Infantry maintain their own inventory of aircraft, a small number of patrol ships, and infantry forces. The Navy is organized into territorial defense and external deployment forces, and maintains trong presence in waters around Skandera.

Airforce

Main Article: Dnieguan Airforce
The Dnieguan Air Force is the air-arm of Dniegua. The airforce contains the lowest number of personnel (Besides the Naval Infantry) in the Dnieguan Military, but receives only 5% less funding than the Navy. Consisting of some 800 combat aircraft, the Dnieguan airforce has long placed high emphasis on sophisticated dedicated role aircraft and low maintenance multi role fighter aircraft.

Homeguard

The Dnieguan Homeguard is a national security force that encompass reserves and volunteers. Based on a local level, the Homeguard acts as security providers, disaster relief, police reserves and local public works laborers for various jobs. A typical homeguard unit is based goegrapically and organized into regional commands at the Battalion level. Smaller townships may have a single homeguard unit spread over several hundred square kilometers; larger metros have homeguard units ranging from two battalions to full strength brigades in major cities. In smaller settings, Post offices or government buildings also act as the Homeguard armory and motor pool, where several vehicles and heavier equipment are located.

Doctrine and Tactics

Mission Statement

The sated mission of the Dnieguan Armed Forces is "To provide safety and security to the homeland and provide peace of mind to the people of [The Kingdom] from threats, both foreign and domestic, at home and abroad".

Tactics

The Dnieguan Military has long been pioneering force of military tactics. The first nation to have a Naval Infantry force, the Dnieguan Armed Forces also pioneered many aspects of modern military combat, including rapid fire artillery pieces, cavalry units, Snipers, and has influenced unit organizations for long periods of time. On the Skanderan continent, the soldiers of Dniegua long have fought in foreign wars.

Historical Tactics

Early Dnieguan tactics focused mostly on line infantry armed with pikes and spears forming major lines, fronted by Skalvmort, a warrior class notable for their stout size and strong build. These warriors normally were armed with heavy shields and clubs and acted as mobile cover for the pike and spearmen. The line infantrymen were to provide initial assault forces, which would then be stormed by the advanced and professional Cossack cavalry. If possible, Dnieguan commanders often preferred to screen enemy forces with Cossack Light Archers, whom were able to strike man-sized targets at full gallop with their curved bows.

With the advent of gunpowder, the Dnieguan forces quickly adopted musketeers and riflemen, and demonstrated significant success with these units, as well as pistol cavalry, whom often rode into battle with as many as 26 loaded pistols, in addition to a saber. However, slow to adopt large artillery pieces, they soon fount their inability to fire significant amounts of large ordinance at long range detrimental to their war efforts.

With industrialization, the Dnieguan military found itself engaged more often in new wars against its neighbors. The invention of long range artillery and the quik adoption of said artillery by Dniegua provided the armed forces with the advantage of manuverable firepower, which blended extreemly well with the cavalry ccentric infantry arms. Large fortifications were build throughout the country along the borders to bombard likely avenues of advance from neighboring nations, many of which stand today.

Modern Tactics

The Dnieguan Armed Forces maintain a significant amount of power projection comparative to population size, mostly due to Hemvärnost, the Dnieguan militant culture that permeates society.

Land Forces Base Scheme

The modern Dnieguan military is largely mechanized, with limited special warfare units and a number of regional defensive units remaining as light infantry. With this mechanization, Dniegua has split its forces into two distinctive forms of mechanized units; Tarskiv (Sometimes called Parsari), Armored, and Motoradlki, motorized. These terms derive mostly from the status of armored vehicles within the individual unit. A Tarskiv unit consists mostly of tracked vehicles, including Infantry Fighting Vehicles, and traditionally held heavier tanks, today using the Tarskvagn-141. These units are more resilient, and, generally, better trained and armed than their Motoradlki counterparts, but consume more resources and often lack the same flexibility. In this way, they are considered to be "heavy infantry" units. The comparative Motoradlki typically used lighter, more maneuverable and less demanding wheeled vehicles and armored personnel carriers, and are typically composed of mostly conscripts, with professional high-ranking NCOs and officers used to supplement command. Though both these units are designated due mostly to the structure of their vehicles, and therefore tactics, both types of vehicles can be expected to be seen within individual units.

The Dnieguan term Brigyad is mostly analogous to the brigade, though is often seen as a re-enforcement of the brigade. Containing between 4500-6000 soldiers, the Brigyad is the basic maneuver element of the Dnieguan military, while three Brigyads form a Division (along with an organic supporting element called a Emfeli), the basic organizational unit, which contains between 14,000 and 20,000 troops. Common tactics and doctrine teach that the Dnieguan Armed Forces focus deeply on small unit tactics, placing significant importance on the individual soldiers to work as a truly unified force in military operations. Consequentially, the Dnieguan doctrine often lists smaller units like companies as the basic tactical element in warfare, while the common missions unit is normally a battalion sized force.

The majority of Dnieguan land doctrine focuses on the concept of Strumvannitu, literally Assault front. The land forces practice a heavy combination of combined arms in common practice. In opening stages of offensives, the Dnieguan Army will typically rely on air support in opening stages, along with heavy amounts of artillery bombardment to create a "corridor of fire", which becomes the primary route of ingress. Significant numbers of rapid deployment air-assault forces are expected to secure strategically important positions, like bridge fronts, hardened points, broadcast stations, and strategic high ground. These forces are expected to be relieved in initial advances of fast moving mechanized infantry, especially Motoradlki. The heavily armored Tarskiv typically form the major "line" infantry and armor of the Dnieguan mechanized advance. Army Aviation operates a significant number of heavy attack helicopters, which form the backbone of air support.

Mobility is achieved by large maritime transportation forces, significant amounts of airlift, and, within the Skanderian continent, large and elaborate rail lines, which are protected by railroad troops belonging to the Dnieguan Rangers.

Dnieguan land force tactics are sometimes considered a modern derivative of 19th and 20th century breakthrough warfare.

Maritime Assault

The first country to adopt a true Naval Infantry force, the Dnieguan military's Naval Infantry is the principal rapid deployment force. The Dnieguan Naval Infantry deploy from landing ships, supported by maritime bombardment. Initial landing waves are often done via rapid helicopter deployments, which are followed by amphibious landings via amphibious AFVs, landing ships, or further unarmed helicopter insertion. Dniegua operates six amphibious assault submarines, each able to carry an over-strength battalion and associated equipment, which have been used to subvert existing defenses, inserting forces less than a kilometer to shore, and, in some cases, beaching themselves and deploying forces. Free of conscripts, Dnieguan naval infantry begin screening already enlisted troops before allowing them to join their ranks. Naval Infantryman are certified in four grades; a standard grade has completed naval infantry ranting associated with their occupation. An advanced grade has completed air assault school or naval diver/Frogman school with qualifications related to their occupation. A mastery grade qualifies the Naval infantryman in both dive and air assault school, and an expert grade certifies unconventional warfare and deep operations.

The Navy maintains six full-strength Brigyads and four reserve. Of the six ready brigyads, four are perpetually stationed "at sea", while one is stained at Naval Station Kefyak and the remaining forces and associated command at various naval bases in Dniegua. A training regiment also exists, stationed at Naval Station Orgun in southern Dnieguan.

Maritime Doctrine

The Dnieguan maritime doctrine places significant emphasis on deterrence. In line with the cold war era Arthyom Plan, Dnieguan maritime forces offer a comparatively high amount of force projection regionally, while maintaining a localized maritime defense force with highly advanced low-observable submarines. These submarines create potential for first-strike capability for a theoretically unlimited time, currently filled by two submarines considered analogous to the SSBN/SSGN concepts; the Skandara class and the Rotarval class.

Dnieguan surface fleets are designated around a number of capital ships. The Dnieguan Aircraft Carriers, Jutlund and Yovlund, form the capital ships of 4th and 5th Fleet, while the amphibious assault ships Resprak, Kodlak, and Ledak form the capital ships of the 6th, 7th and 8th fleet. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd Fleets are primarily held in territorial waters around Dniegua for defensive purposes, and consist mostly of small corvettes, patrol boats, and small frigates.

Land-based Sea-Strike squadrons form the backbone of territorial defenses, carrying large amounts of ordinance quickly over short distances. The primary aircraft of the Naval Strike units is the IkB-37, a multirole fighter-bomber aircraft capable of carrying 8300 kilograms of ordinance on 17 hardpoints. In addition, a fleet of NkB-78 strategic bombers are kept at the ready.

Reserves and Paramilitary

The Dnieguan military has long since placed significant reliance in a strong domestic force of professional reservists and home guard forces, whom would take up arms in defense of the homeland in instance of invasion. The professional military consists of, as of 2014, 726,456 Active personnel, of which some 286,500 are conscripts. The reserves consist of some 2,000,000 personnel, aged 21-59, whom participate in active drills three times per year. The paramilitary forces (Including police officers, internal security, Coast Guard, security officers, border customs, and rangers) number 1,500,000 personnel of various employment, of which some 500,000 are conscripts. Both reservists and paramilitary are split among various branches of service, though the Dnieguan Army encompasses 60% of all reservists as Homeguard personnel.

Weapons of Mass Distruction

Main article: Nuclear Weapons and Dniegua
See also: Dnieguan Weapons of Mass Destruction
Dniegua is one of two presently armed Skandar states with nuclear weapons, along with Sieuxerr. Dniegua acknowledges possession of a moderately sized nuclear arsenal, being mostly a denture and retaliatory force. As of 2015, Dniegua has not disclosed how many nuclear weapons it has active; in 1985, Dniegua acknowledged an arsenal of some 276 active nuclear weapons and some additional 300 inactive nuclear weapons. The majority of these inactive weapons were low yeald strategic nuclear artillery shells, netting a yield of some 4,800kT TNT. The majority of active weapons were believed to be warheads for sea and air-based cruise missiles. As of 2010, Dniegua operates 26 land based RN m/80E2 Sinclair ICBMs, capable of carrying up to 8 375kT warheads each. have an operational range of 13,500km and a speed of mach 25. In addition, the most prolific single weapon in Dnieguas arsnal, the normally conventional RBsT-117 houses up to a 1.2 megaton Rk m/78K nuclear warhead.

In addition to nuclear weapons, Dniegua processes some 4,800 tonnes of Chemical and 400 tones of Biological weapons. The primary Dnieguan Chemical and Biological weapons are tasked for destruction of agriculture and husbandry. A limited stockpile (Some 25%) were for targeting human populations directly; formerly Chemical/Biological warfare units were found in Pioneer regiments, these have since been replaced with assault elements. The primary vector for delivering chemical weapons was the KR m/54F NO BARK Rocket-assisted bomb, the KR m/55F NEWSMAN Rocket, and the KR m/53F FEDORA Artillery shell. A shoulder-fired rocket for the m/48 Rocket Launcher, the FmV K2 m/64F COURIER was developed, but it is not known if this was deployed. Mortars containing chemical shells were also developed and are believed to be the primary vector still in use for Chemical delivery; however, Dniegua has begun destroying its stockpile as it is replaced by incendiary weapons, and is estimated to be finished by 2025.

Enlistment and Conscription

Most branches of the armed forces have had conscription for the majority of their lifetime; the only two exceptions are the Airforce, who did not take full part in conscription until 1928 with the disbandment of the Zeppelin luftschiffahrtflygt, or Zeppelin Force, and the Naval Infantry, who do not conscript. Conscripts report for duty the 18th of January each year and undergo allotment and are assigned to one of three branches, and report for basic training the 25th of the same month. After processing and testing, each recruit receives basic conscript training, a 8 week affair, and is then moved to specialized training. For the Airforce and Navy, an additional two weeks of hazardous material and three weeks of damage control and firefighting training is added on; the Army and homeguard spend this time training soldiers in civil duty and other tasks. Advanced job training takes place between six and eighteen weeks, depending on the soldiers allotted or selected job.

Dnieguan Conscription since 2000 has been done by library, where approximately 125,000 individuals of the Male population are randomly selected via lottery for a two-year term of service in one of three uniformed branches, or a 40 month term of service in paramilitary branches, like the Coastguard, Rangers, or Federal Police. A term of service in the Homeguard requires 72 months of service; though actual service time (time in uniform) is only two months a year, though the remaining 10 months a year are spent on high readiness. Women may place in for lottery; about 12,000 are selected a year. Dnirgua does not allow women in combat roles, besides Aviators.

Personnel who enlist sign a four year contract. While trained with Conscripts, enlisted personnel generally have a higher standard of living and undergo more rigorous training, while also having far more flexibility in their career choice. Enlisted ranks are compensated a higher monthly wage while also being able to move through the ranks faster.

Training

Basic training is an affair of various length. The Army, Homeguard, Navy and Airforce all enter a 10 week program in which individuals learn about the fundamentals of serving, from combat techniques to the proper regimenting. Basic training is where individuals undergo physical training to prepare their bodies and their minds for the eventual physical and mental strain of combat. One of the most difficult and essential lessons learned in training is self-discipline, as it introduces prospective soldiers to a strict daily schedule that entails many duties and high expectations for which most are not immediately ready. During basic training, soldiers are taught the importance of what it means to be a citizen and serve the kingdom, and king or queen.

The second portion of training, Advanced Individual Training, is a 8-52 week affair depending on the status of the recruit and the recruits selected specialty. AIT training is part of all soldiers training regiment except seamen; certain seamen receive 4 week designation training before being sent to fleet as staffers; these are classified as undesignated Seamen, and may receive training at a later point. Enlistees in the Homeguard are not generally permitted to enter a specialty whos training lasts longer than 28 weeks.

Officership training comes after Basic training, as opposed to enlisted and Warrent AIT. Officer training takes place at one of two training locations, and lasts between 40 and 60 weeks. Officers learn critical thinking skills, specialties, weapon systems, admistration and history. Home guards officer learn community outreach and civil services.

Conscripts typically are trained with enlisted personnel; most conscripts elect to take relatively simple positions with AIT training programmes taking less than 16 weeks. Infantry training typically lasts 12 weeks.

Personnel

As of 31 December 2014, Dniegua had an active component of 776,458 active and 1,798,569 reserve, the majority of whom were in the Homeguard. Since its inception, it is thought some 158 milion people have served in Dnieguas armed forces.

Since 2013, plans have been made to reduce the size of the Airforce and Naval Infantry by 20 and 10%, respectively. At the same time, the Army and Navy are expected to grow to compensate for the loss; a shift in funding to the Dnieguan Navy has been evident since the end of the Cold War. The Airforvce has found itself shifting to strategic transport, defense and support roles more and more.

Weapons Squad: The squad is the smallest form of organized formations in the Armed Force , as fire and maneuver teams are formed at the Squad Leaders discretion. A typical rifle squad is commanded by a Sartjant , though a Oversartjant may also command a squad. The typical composition of weapons squad consists of five riflemen, each armed with a TrGv-94 5.65x48mm assault Rifle. One of these riflemen is also a Grenadier, armed with the GrWpl m/84 51mm light mortar or the GvSkott m/89 4cm Grenade Launcher. Another rifleman acts as an assistant gunner for the Squads Machine gun, the Ksp-58. An additional support gunner is armed with an AvG m/64E2 Machine ruifle in the Infantry Automatic rifle role. At lease one soldier is armed with a PkrsGv. m/91 Designated Marksman Rifle. Thoughout the squad, several disposable lunchers can be found, including the TrSkott m/74 12cm or IkpSkott. m/68 8cm. To a platoon, there are two Weapons squads.

Assault Squad: An Assault squad is a grouping of soldiers into a formation that specializes in the assault role. These squads are typically built around the Ksp-58 Machine Gun and Rtkh m/48 Recoilless launcher, and has composition similar to the Weapons squad, though lacking the Designated Marksman or Infantry Autmatic rifle. The squad also has no assistant Machine gunner, substituting instead for an assistant assault man. The Rtkh m/48 gunner may instead wield the PlySkott. m/94 incendiary launcher, or the PIsP m/54 Flamethrower.

  • Anti-tank squad: The anti-tank squad consists of 6 men usually led by a senior more sergeant. They are equipped with heavier guided anti-tank missiles, such as the BILL-2. Assistant gunners are equipped with assault rifles, while missile crews tend to be equipped with the carbine version of the TrGv m/94. The Anti-tank squads are typically carried in the IpTKVg-90/121, a 120mm armed version of the IpTKVg-90/41
  • Air defense squad:: 8 men led by a Obersartjant, an air defense squad is equipped with man portable surface to air missile launchers.These units have been equipped with the RfyK-84 Elektro launcher. Air defense squads are generally transported by the Anti-aircraft version of the IpTKVg-90/41; the FlgKVg-90/35-2

Historical Organization

Historical

Historically, Dnieguan units were formed into feudal holds of command, where local leaders had forces at his discression, but the Hetman retained general control of all forces.

1800s

For the earliest portion of the 1800s, much of Dnieguas forces were still under the hold of Royal and feudal decree, being entrusted to the control of the local Jarls or Thanes. These units swore loyalty to the kind but were under command, generally, of the local leader; these local leaders generally had military advisers, and most unit officers were well seasoned in command. Organization remained unchanged until the 1820s with the Dnieguan decentralization of royal control of the military; by 1826 the new Regimental system was established.

In much of the 19th century, the Dnieguan Armed Forces had typically split its military into regional command distracts, numbered 1-16. These districts consisted of various outposts and forts which housed a typical regiment sized formation of between 900-1200 men in 8-12 companies. A typical military district had between 8 and 12 regiments, with the Homeguard component being organized into sub-divisions throughout the territory. Most major settlements were able to raise a Platoon or Company-sized formation for defense; these did not include the Dnieguan Rangers, who acted as a military police and constabulary to keep normal law and order in settlements. These forces were considered part of the Army, numbering some 42,584 in 1872.

The Navy of this era was organized much in the same manner as it is today, with domestic and foreign fleets. These foreign fleets protected Dnieguan trade and overseas holdings, while domestic fleets provided saftey and security for Dnieguan waters and provided whaling security. The Naval Infantry acted as a ship-born landing party, and tended to have less important task in Dnieguan doctrine than they do today. Principally used for landing light infantry and protection of harbors, trade posts and the like, the Naval Infantry numbered 6 regiments in 1869, totaling some 7,650 troops. The Armys own Coastal Defense Troops were later folded into the Naval Infantry, who numbered some 14,250 in 1869

Helmets
Faldshalhelm m/48 Steel helmet The Faldshalhelm m/84 (FsH m/48) was the standard Dnieguan military helmet from 1948 until its replacement by the m/84 series starting in 1982. It stil sees service with reserve components and homeguards troops, mostly in a flat white or green. ZS Helm.JPG
Faldkermpundhelm m/84 Kevlar helmet The FkH m/84 series replaced the older m/48 series starting in 1982. Composed of mostly high-impact plastics and Kevlar molded around a steel cap, the light weight and high protection level make it generally superior to the older m/48. Current issue is the m/84-08, and updated version made of a more advanced material. Soldater Revinge 2013.jpg
Faldkermpundhelm m/84B Kevlar vehicle crew helmet A version of the FkH m/84 developed in the late 80s for vehicle crew. Includes flip down goggles and integrated communications. These helmets are issued to armor and ship crewmen, but is absent from helicopter crewmen; for these, the FkH m/84Fyl is issued. These helmets sacrifice protection for utility, weighing 200 grams more due to integrated equipment. File:M84b.jpg
Protective Vests
Korpespskydd m/10 Protective outerwear vest Level III rated personal body armor offering full body protection from small arms fire up to 10 grams at a velocity of 850m/s and stabbing devices up to KR II. Inserts for small arm plates present. Issue started in 2010 to standard troops. These vests are heavier than the older Korpespskydd m/89-02 and m/98-06 sets, which remain in service. File:Korpespskydd m10.jpg
Korpespskydd m/04 Protective outerwear vest Level IIIB rated vest with expansion for trauma plates present. Small steel lining protects against some attacks with stabbing weapons, but is not reliable. Issued mostly to heavy infantry; replacment begain in 2008 with intoruction of what would become the m/10 series. File:Korpespskydd m04.jpg
Korpespskydd m/98 Protective outerwear vest Level IIB rated vest with inserts for trauma plates. Lightweight at 4.5kg/10kg with two plates inserted or 12.2kg with groin protector, this is the standard upper body armor protection for most Dnieguan troops. File:Korpespskydd m98.png
Korpespskydd m/89 Protective outerwear vest Multi-level ballistic vest that offers limited protection against pistol calibers. Plate inserts offer expanded protection capabilities. Total weight 8.5 kilograms, 11.2 with ESAPI plate File:Korpespskydd m89.png
Flytnaskvarkorpespskydd m/06 Protective outerwear vest and flotation device Multirole protective vest for rotor wing aviation and watercraft crewmen with survival flotation device built into neck. File:Fytksk m06.png
Load Bearing Equipment
Stridsväst m/98 Loadbearing webbing equipment Soldiers webbing, with space for 8 magazines, 2.5 hydration bladder, flashlight, grenade pouch, LED and IR indicators, radio and others. Replaced the older Strvat m/72. File:Stridsväst m98.jpg

CBRN protection
Skyddsgermask m/94 Chemical/biological protective mask The SG m/94 was designed to address shortcomings of the SG m/72 mask, including a narrow vision cone and lack of peripheral vision. The SG m/94 is less restrictive than the SG m/72 in most regards. Filters, voice amplifiers, and water intake tubes are common between the two. Practice makes perfect for 2nd LAR's Delta Company 121212-M-WC184-002.jpg
Skyddsgermask m/72 Chemical/biological protective mask the SG m/72 was the first truly modern CBRN protective mask adopted en mass for the Dnieguan Armed forces. Composed of Flexible rubber, the mask utilizes an Activated charcoal filter, which greatly improves safety. Defense.gov News Photo 970421-F-4116M-105.jpg
