Article III of The Constitution of Viliakmon obliges all citizens of all genders to attend military service for three years, initially ‘providing that they are under the age of 27’, though nowadays the conscription is always 18-21 years of age. The mandatory service could be divided into six different periods, each lasting six months and involving different categories.
The first six months of service are delegated to the trope of an boot sergeant who is to discipline the new enrolls through employment of strict timetables and daily duties. An assessment of standardization is conducted during these six months in order to later split the enrolls into different categories, each being tailored generation by generation as a challenge but nevertheless achievable. The first six months of service are conducted near the largest city of Aelbasan, providing newcomers the opportunity to experience and overcome a cultural shock in this diverse setting.
In the next six months, each conscript is assigned a different category with standards of fitness and discipline they must meet at the end of the first year. The programmes vary from free body exercises all the way to conducting weekly marathon runs, depending on the given category. This standardization is set in Monasteria, providing the challenge of an arid, warm climate with varying hill terrain.
Only in the second year does the service introduce firearm training. There is not much difference during the entire second year apart from the routine getting progressively physically more challenging while the firearms used for training go from standard pistols to bolt rifles. Second year is attended in Prilyep, providing very challenging mountainous terrain. Generally, the second year is considered an ‘eliminatory’ phase where two categories of conscripts are formulated for year 3.
The final year introduces ‘Category GCDP’ and ‘Category EFFR’. The former stands for ‘Category of General Civilian Defense Protocol’. Conscripts who fall into this category have at some point expressed alarming distress during the military training – either physical or emotional. The latter stands for 'Category of Efficient For Forces Regiment' - usually meaning that these conscripts have proven to be suitable for further training and education needed to join the V.A.F.
GCDP: Border Guard and Border Watchtower:
GCDP was enacted in 2001. whose main goal at the time was reforming the Clan loyalty and the unregulated gun culture of the Viliakmoni civilians into an organized national approach to defense. Nowadays, the Protocol is known by nearly everyone under the age of ~50. It is now the first line of defense on the borders of Viliakmon, furthermore the GCDP is to be very reliable for use by the Professional Ground Forces if the enemy is to break deep into Viliakmoni territory.
The training of Category for GCDP involves: practices for developing quicker physical reaction times; education for providing first aid to injured people; training involving the use of the Local Emergency Alarm System (LEAS); exercises conducted in the place of residence where that civilian comes from and might live in the future; education and war games involving the use of terrain against enemy invasions; education and war games involving street-to-street urban warfare; survival techniques in the event of food and water shortages and more.
The GCDP may, upon the last 6 months of service, file an application to permanently serve in: the Border Guard of Viliakmon; the Border Watchtower of Viliakmon; The Engineering Military Specialization of Professional Viliakmon Armed Forces; The Medicinal Military Specialization of Professional Viliakmon Armed Forces. These applications are examined by a collective of training officers who have been training the specific troops for three years.
Most of the applications for Border Guard and Border Watchtowers are accepted. Upon approval, these applicants learn the further use of the Local Emergency Alarm System (LEAS) and its’ infrastructural link to the National Emergency Alarm System (NEAS). They are taught alternative ways of launching the NEAS. Furthermore, they are taught how to recognize false alarms. Collectively, the EAS is commanded by a special institution unknown to the general public nor most government officials;
"Upon the NEAS being declared by the commander of EAS: the Ministry for Emergency Matters is appointed instantly by the Head of State; A nation-wide State of Emergency is declared wherein the Head of State and the Ministry of Emergency Matters guide the population through ‘Emergency Decree(s)".
GCDP: Engineering and Medicinal Groups:
Most of the applications for the Engineering and Medicinal Military Specialization are rejected, though the applicants may file an amendment to the Conscription Lieutenant. This amendment then proceeds to put the applicants through a university-level testing of their knowledge on military engineering and military medicine, whose questionnaire is constructed under the assumption that they have completed Year 1 of Bachelors’ in these areas. If the applicants pass the test, they are immediately accepted.
The Engineering and Medicinal Military Conscripts then enroll into the second year of Bachelors’ Degree for Military Engineering and Military Medicine. Simultaneously, they are sent on practice missions revolving situations where they will be in future needed. Upon completion of the Bachelor’s Degree, the Conscripts become part of the Viliakmoni Armed Forces. They are then assigned, based on their gradings and performance during the practice missions, the specific Military Operation Specialization (MOS) within one of the three conventional military branches (Army; Navy or Airforce). They are considered non-combatants during war but are high-value Prisoners of War. The Armed Forces of Viliakmon are well-aware of this.
Viliakmon Armed Forces (V.A.F.):
Civilian Control:
The highest Chain of Command holds the title of "Highest Commander", currently the Head of State. However, the HoS being the "Highest Commander" is not legally codified, as Iakov Xhuglini was bestowed this title by the troops at the end of "The Long March". Constitutionally, it IS codified that the HoS appoints the Minister of Secret Agency Service (recent change) directly, while the Bicameral Parliament appoint the Minister for Law Enforcement and the Minister for Allied Forces. All of these positions are a method of "civilian control over the military" and even during the "Operation Shakedown" crisis have proven to be efficient.
The Minister of Law Enforcement further appoints the "Chief Commander of Police Forces", who is held accountable for actions of his departments yet enjoys autonomy in how we structures his own departments. The Minister appoints the Commander of the Military Police, who is responsible not only for the Military Police in its' entirety but also serves as "The Chief of Staff of the GCDP" and is tasked with creating a "Chief of Conscription group", who then appoints among themselves the "Chief of Conscription", usually someone who held the rank of "Lieutenant" in the V.A.F. Army previously prior to serving as "Chief of Conscription".
The Highest Commander, the Minister of Law Enforcement and the Minister of Allied Forces then collectively appoint the Commander for Coordination, this position having insurmountable value to the whole country as he is to coordinate the: V.A.F.; Military Police; active GCDP (Border Control and Watch) when the National Emergency Alarm System is activated. Furthermore, the position is equal in authority to the V.A.F. Chief of Staff, who is usually also the Naval High Commander and is responsible for appointing the future Naval, Army and Airforce Commanders.
Ranks:
The V.A.F. creates a differentiation between "Officers" and "Recruits", the difference is displayed in insignia which their uniforms are decorated with. In practice, each branch is responsible for how these differences are handled as well as setting a broad criteria for advancing in each rank.
Army Recruits have the ranks of: Foot Soldier -> Private -> Army Corporal -> Army Sergeant.
Army Officers have the ranks of: Officer -> Master Officer -> Lieutenant -> Colonel -> General -> Major.
Navy Recruits have the ranks of: Seaman -> Sailor -> Petty Officer -> Greenwater Officer = Bluewater Officer. Despite the name, they are not "Officers" in the V.A.F.
Navy Officers have the ranks of: Naval Commodore -> Vice Admiral -> Admiral -> Grand Admiral.
Airforce Recruits have the ranks of: Airman -> Pilot -> Wingman -> Coordinant.
Airforce Officers have the ranks of: Group Commandant -> Vice Marshal -> Strategic Marshal = Tactical Marshal -> Grand Marshal.
