102nd "Red Foxes" Combined Military Forces

The 102nd "Red Foxes" Combined Military Forces (FOXCBM) was a faction created sometime in 2017 by Viper. It was an independent, unified military that consisted of ground, air, and naval forces.
== History ==
=== Formation ===
The Red Foxes were founded on the Simple Captain Icky's servers sometime in 2017, eventually seeing combat for the first time along with the Server Defense Force (SDF). FOXCBM and SDF's strong relationship contributed heavily to the formation of the Coalition, and later subsequent alliances between FOXCBM, SDF, and various other factions with similar interests.
=== SCI Summer War ===
Main article: SCI Summer War
FOXCBM defeated a minge group on SCI and successfully recruited around 50-60 members in what was known as the SCI Summer War. The war started July 9th, 2017, when a huge force of aircraft attacked and bombed a joint SDF-FOXCBM naval base on md_ironsky. It is known that FOXCBM armed forces secured the ground with their tanks, securing a victory at what would be called the battle of Fightspace3b, while SDF dominated the sky and waters. Not much else is known about FOXCBM's involvement in the SCI Summer War due to its antiquity.
=== SCI War ===
Main article: SCI War
In early 2018, a scout unit belonging to the Server Defense Force fired on troops of Cat-Gopher Industries (C.G.I.), where after their convoy was attacked by a machine gun nest, C.G.I. fought back and captured a base. What the scout unit had assumed was an organized group of minges were instead a new faction scouting out the server. The misunderstanding was cleared, and C.G.I. formed an alliance with FOXCBM and SDF and was even let in the Coalition. However, tensions began to rise again, mainly due to fears that C.G.I. wanted sole control of Simple Captain Icky's and worry of their non-indigenous nature. The Coalition declared war, after an officer within C.G.I., threatened to go to war with them. This led to FOXCBM initiating a preemptive strike, with the rest of the Coalition following suit, marking the start of the SCI War. In the early parts of the war, the war was largely a stalemate; C.G.I. forces were unable to hold large control with the contesting SDF, FOXCBM and allied partisans, as daily battles would occur, with the Coalition tracking and pushing forces to SCI each time any C.G.I. members were spotted. This however, would not last, at around this time, the leadership of SDF and FOXCBM were banned, due to crash attempts of SCI #1, the peak of a dispute between server staff, and group leaders, who were often discriminated against by the hostile ownership. With the command structure of both groups unable to coordinate effectively, the Coalition was pushed out of SCI, and failed a counteroffensive on UTC, C.G.I.'s home server. This loss was devastating for the Coalition, even after C.G.I. offered peace. FOXCBM and SDF were the only two surviving factions out of the five that were involved during the war.
=== Coalition Civil War ===
Main article: Coalition Civil War
Following the SCI War, FOXCBM and SDF tensions began to form, which exploded into the Coalition Civil War. However, the war was mostly an informational war, spies and Discord raids were the main form of combat, with only a few battles. After both sides realized that a hostile, outside entity had spurred tensions from both sides it ended in peace, and FOXCBM and SDF had a renewed relationship, which caused them to be confident enough to declare war on C.G.I. again.
=== EI - GMAP War and TBS ===
Further information: EI - GMAP War and The Black Sun
After the Civil War, FOXCBM and SDF formed the Eagle Initiative (EI), after recognizing the need for a renewed alliance. However, in a fairly short time, a war was fought on SCI, in what was known as the EI - GMAP War. However, FOXCBM ceased all operations after a distaste at high levels in FOX for the underhanded tactics that both sides employed to gain advantages, and the group shut down. A few months later, a less serious group was started up, and The Black Sun (TBS) was created, a group that was made up of ex-FOXCBM members and officers. TBS and the SDF attempted to stop a continued incident on buuf's dank build where one of the GMAP leaders, Elias, stalked and followed both of their members onto this and other servers, even after repeated requests for this to end were ignored. Shortly after, Elias was banned from buufs, along with several leaders of EI. Shortly after this incident GMAP declared war on TBS. During this conflict with GMAP and EI the National Union of France (NUF) joined EI. Sovinia (SOVIN) and the Inner Sphere Alliance (ISA) joined GMAP's cause, which caused NUF to surrender. Eventually after stalemate and several tactical losses, TBS was shuttered (See TBS for more information), and GMAP would team up with EI but ultimately became inactive due to the second leader of GMAP, Elias, attempting to seize total power of the group. C.G.I. ceased combat with TBS upon its shuttering, and with TBS gone, FOX would see two small restarts, before its final shuttering in mid 2020.
