New American Army

The New American Army, or NAA, is a ruthless military organization operating in the Yukon Wasteland as of 2220. The NAA is known across Alaska for their endless pursuit of pre-War military equipment and strong anti-communist dogma. 
==Background==
The origins of the NAA are rooted deeply in the US military remnants stationed in Alaska. Before the War, the 90th Infantry Division of the 127th Infantry Regiment was stationed in Fort Greely. This military installation served as a cold weather testing lab and anti-ballistic missile site in eastern Alaska, one of America’s lines of defence against the Chinese nuclear arsenal. 
When the Great War erupted across the world in 2077, Fort Greely used its missiles to destroy as many Chinese ICBMs as possible. Unfortunately given the sheer size of the nuclear conflict, many were not able to be shot down. After the fires and dust of nuclear war cleared, the 127th Infantry Regiment emerged from their bunker in Fort Greely under the leadership of General William Black. The General immediately sent out scouting teams to assess the damage to nearby communities, including Anchorage. Much of the personnel at Fort Greely had immediate family in Anchorage, relocated there to assist with the reconstruction effort and to be within a closer distance of their families at the fort. What the 127th found in the city brought many to the breaking point, Anchorage had been completely annihilated. Attempts were made to search for survivors in the ruined city, but the endeavors only left 127th rescue teams either poisoned by radiation or ghoulified, the latter of which included General Black himself. Their families gone and themselves cut off from the world, many of General Black’s men were driven to suicide or desertion.
General Black quickly sought to restore order to the remainder of the 127th, turning the grief of his soldiers into immense hatred of the communists that had wiped out their families and America. The General united the 127th under anti-communist propaganda, leaving the survivors both united and bloodthirsty. More scouting teams were sent out to find what few US military survivors remained in Alaska, and by 2110 the 127th had been shaped into a “New American Army”. 
==2220==
As of 2220 the New American Army has become a strong force in the Yukon Wasteland, their mercenaries known for providing exceptional, if expensive services. Recently however, General Black has larger ideas than mercenary work. Rumors talk of communist remnants in southern Alaska, the mortal enemy of the pre-War American military and their NAA descendants. While Black has scouts out to confirm these reports, his soldiers work overtime to dig up military caches and crack open US bunkers for equipment in case these rumors turn out true. Another popular rumor tells of an off-the-books military base hidden somewhere in Alaska, one that would have everything the NAA needs to not only defeat their communist foes but bring all of Alaska under their control. 
==Society==
Their society follows a strict military hierarchy, with the NAA's anti-communist beliefs almost cult-like and Black's nearly 150 year rulership practically worshipped by much of the faction's lower ranks. The ghoulified General Black directs the large scale direction of the NAA, with lower-ranked personnel handling more specific operations of the faction. Orders and instructions typically flow downwards in the chain of command, however levels can be skipped without consequence. Failure to follow orders from higher-ranking personnel is punishable by execution, although this has been known to be abused for personal benefits.
==Outside relations==
Resources are typically acquired by the NAA through force, however since as early as 2150 the faction has offered their military experience as mercenaries to the settlements and other factions of the Yukon Wasteland. Juneau in particular has dedicated office where mercenaries from the NAA can be hired for a steep price. With the NAA in complete domination of the mercenary industry, caravans and wealthy business owners have had little choice but to hire their services to protect their interests against the Yukon Wasteland's raiders groups.
The NAA shakes is known to shake down settlements for “taxes” of food and supplies, under the belief that they’re the closest remnants of the US government in Alaska. In truth they do keep much of the western and northern raiders away, but these increasing taxes are causing the few small settlements in the Yukon Wasteland to struggle.
Recruitment booths have begun to appear in the area's larger settlements, such as Juneau. While many of the Alaskan wastelanders who join expect to live a cushy life as a mercenary within the faction, they often instead find themselves as disposable grunts for the group's increasing operations.
==Technology==
With access to military equipment from the Anchorage Reclamation, the New American Army is one of the most technologically advanced factions in the Yukon Wasteland. Power armor and other pre-War military equipment is commonly seen used by NAA soldiers at their bases, or worn by their mercenaries across the frozen wastes. While they have small amounts of functional all-terrain armored personnel carriers, the NAA is most well known for the fusion-powered snowmobiles they uses to traverse the wasteland. Quick and mobile, their no-frills design makes them easy to maintain while providing exceptional speed for traversing the Yukon Wasteland.
