Short thing about a setting other than Aeosa. Not a story, more like an in-universe document. I like little pieces of lore-bits like that, so I thought it would be fun.
United Nations Defense Force
UNDF Central Command
Minuteman Contingency
Due to the continued UNDF military setbacks since the 2035 Incusion of Azaran Imperial forces, drastic military, economic, and political measures must be taken to ensure the safety and security of sovereign member nation-states. According to current logistical projections, the combat effectiveness of the United Nations Defense Force –all factors maintained at current levels— will be crippled beyond recovery within three years, at which point capitulation will be the only remaining option. In order to avert this outcome, the following steps must be taken:
Recruitment quantity must be increased by at least 125% to adequately replace lost human assets in the field. To this end, a global conscription will be enacted, coordinated on the national, regional, and local level. All medically approved citizens between the ages of 18-25, regardless of education or employment (unless otherwise detailed in the attached Military Service Exceptions Guide), will be required to complete a minimum two years of active military service, and a minimum five years of reserve service.
National and regional military personnel will be placed under the command of the UNDF. Units will be organized and temporarily registered as UNDF military assets, and all commanders will report to designation UNDF Regional Command Centers (RCC).
All medically approved citizens from the ages of 18-45 not already involved in active or reserve military service will be required to register as part of the newly formed Civil Combat Response Corp., and attend a two week long combat training course every six months. All registered citizens will be legally obligated to report to designated local rally points in the event of an emergency for suit-up and deployment. All CCRC assets will be placed under the authority of the appropriate UNDF RCC and on-site CO until the conclusion of the state of emergency.
In order to train this influx of recruits and civil guards, all non-classified, non-strategic essential military facilities will be repurposed or otherwise modified to support the housing and instruction of conscripts across all branches of service until such time that they are approved for combat deployment. This list of facilities includes national and regional military installations.
To meet the increased production demand, the UNDF will seize all major private sector assets which could feasibly be applied to the war-time supply chain. This list includes automotive and aircraft assembly facilities, drydocks, food production and packaging plants, energy production facilities, firearm manufacturers, clothing manufacturers, etc.
The management of corporate banks will be allocated to representatives of a UN Assembly of Global Commerce.
Mandatory civilian rationing of all non-essential goods and products.
The numbers are determinant. Logistic calculations indicate that the implementation of these policies, and a shift toward a long-term, total-war, military economy serve, by far, the best chance of ensuring continued effective resistance for the foreseeable future. It is recommended that soft roll-out of these procedures begin no later than the 30th of January, 2039, and that full implementation be under-way and established no later than March 15th of the same year.
Any significant delay beyond these dates are likely to result in diminished effect and less than optimal military efficiency.
