THE COMMONWEALTH OF DERIAN STATES Derian States |  National Flag | | Motto: Hard as Oak, Swift as the Water | BACKGROUND
In the 12th Century the coastal regions of what is now the Commonwealth were settled by Celtic adventerous, in their Feudal society 2nd sons did not inherit land and as such they set off to colonise the largely uninhabited region they occupy today. The various clans formed their own Kingdoms until in the 14th Century the clans were united under a King called Derian. Over the next 200 years his descendents expanded his Empire and kept stability, however between 1600-1800 the states broke away in various formats. By 1830 the Empire had split into six Kingdoms. It was in 1833 that a military leader, Joseph McCaul, lead a rebellion in Glaik making the nation a republic. Over the next 20 years he instigated other rebellions in the other five nations until in 1854 the Treaty of The Six, was signed forming the Commonwealth that exists today.

Overview
[img]INSERT LOGO HERE[/img]
The Derian States utilises a system of National Service. At the age of 18, or 21 depending on educational status, every Derian completes some form of national service for 18 months. Those deemed medically unfit for military service are found some other type of service to complete. The Derian military is broke down into four branches.
| Branch | Commander | HQ | No in full time service | Republican Army | Field Marshall Edward Harrison | Mayfield Barracks, Shirland | 420,000 | | Derian Air Force (DAF) | Air Commodore Thomas Gammon | Tibshelf Aerodrome | 305,000 | | Republic Naval Service | Admiral Rhys Hutchinson | Portworth | 290,000 | | Republican Commando Cadre | Brigadier Kelly | Aldfield | Approx 2,500 |
At anyone time it is estimated in addition to these full time service members there is an additional 100,000 on national service, however this is spread amongst the various branches.

REPUBLICAN COMMANDO CADRE OFFICAL REGIMENTAL LOGO  UNOFFICAL REGIMENTAL LOGO [img]INSERT IMAGE[/img] Commanded by Brigadier Kelly
This is the Derian military elite. This is made up of around 2,500 soldiers. To become a Commando you must first serve at least 5 years in the military and then pass an intensive 31 week training and selection period. After that any member of the Legion can veto your entry by placing your name on the base doors. Once enlisted in the Cadre you are on probation for 12 months.
COMMANDO SELECTION PROCESS
Stage 1 - Application
A potential Comamndo's must have served a minimum of five years in any branch of the military. To apply they must receive a nomination from two officers and then pass an interview with a Commando NCO. After the initial NCO interview the candidate undergoes various aptitude tests and psychological profiling.
Stage 2 - Commando Orientation (1week)
Candidates are required to make their way to the Cadre HQ where the course takes place. Candidates undertake a map and compass test, a swimming test, a first aid test and a combat fitness test. Each day features a "Sergeants Adventure" which is some form of adapted run, such as combat run from an unknown location back to HQ. Each day sees distances, weights carried and difficulty of terrain increase.
Stage 3 - Fitness and Navigation (4 weeks)
This section starts with basic fitness tests, a 2.4km run to be completed in under 9mins30 seconds, followed immediatly by 45 press ups and 55 sit ups to be completed in two minutes each.
Each week follows a "Trial" at the end. These are tests designed to see a candidates progress and time limits vary dependent on local conditions.
Week 1 - 15km run complete with kit Week 2 - The Figure of 8. A 24km march to be completed while reading a map and carrying 18kg rucksack, 5kg rifle and each soldier must be in possession of a litre of water when they finish.
Week 3 -Endurance - Using a hand sketched map the soldier must cover 35km carrying 18kg of kit, 5kg rifle and radio. They must navigate from RV to RV meeting an instructor at each stage.
Week 4 - The Long Drag - A 65km navigated route march to be completed in around 20 hours. Candidates must use map and compass to navigate between memorised Grid References where a NCO is waiting. The soldiers rucksack must weigh 25kg upon completion and a standard issue rifle must be carried.
Stage 4 - Initial Continuation Training (14 weeks)
This consists of detailed and realistic training in weapon handling, vehicle handling, demolitions and small unit patrol tactics. The candidates are assessed each day and any failing to make progress return to their unit immediately.
Stage 5 - Highland Training (6 weeks)
Highland training is usually carried out in the Derian Highlands with candidates allocated to a four man patrol, each patrol supervised by a serving NCO. Cold and rain are persistent, potentially demoralising the candidate, and skin contusions, frost bite, hyperthermia and blisters must be cared for due to the risk of infection. Training includes winter survival, patrol techniques, navigation, ski handling, camp and observation post techniques, contact drills and medicine. The final test encompasses these skills, where all things that have been learned must be applied correctly in a tactical environment. Any candidate thought not to be making progress is returned to their unit. Stage 6 - S.E.R.E Skills(survive, escape, resist, exfil) (5 weeks)
Using skills learned so far the potential Commando receives detailed training in Survival skills, Escape and evasion, resistance to capture and exfiltration. Any candidate thought not to be making progress is returned to their unit.
Week four see's soldiers given ill fitting 1960's equipment and a hand drawn map. They are to evade capture while travelling between checkpoints with a Hunter force chasing them. Once caught or upon reaching the final checkpoint they are "captured", often realistically, and taken to the Army's interegation centre. There they undertake a week of interegation where giving anything other than "Name, Rank, Number, Date of Birth and "Sorry I can't answer that question" " results in a fail. Candidates are exposed to sleep deprivation, extreme heat and cold, starvation, dehydration and other forms of mental torture.
Stage 7 - War Games (1week)
Potential Commando's are attached to a patrol preparing for deployment to a live theatre or training exercise. Here the recruit experiences day to day life as a Commando and is expected to be able to integrate within a patrol. The exact nature of this stage depends very much on the operational deployment of the patrol. The NCO of the patrol may return the candidate to their unit at any time.
Final Parade
During the final parade candidates who have passed so far are placed on parade with the whole of the Cadre that is not deployed. During the parade they are presented with their Red and Black Beret unless a serving member of the Cadre veto's their entrance to the unit.
Probation (12months)
During this time the Commando serves as a member of the Cadre, upon completion of the Probation period the patrol they have served on vote as to whether to give them their full red beret. A majority decision is taken, if they vote to not present the full red beret the soldier is returned to their original unit.
