Altis Security Forces

United Kingdom (Briefly)

Republic of China

The Altis Security Forces were established in 2052 by the Democratic Republic of Altis and organised by Field Marshall Baker following the need for an Organised Western Army to combat any threats to Altis and the new Altian Government. The A.S.F would also see aid from the United Kingdom and General Lewison of the British Altis Command and later the Soviet Union (albeit briefly). The A.S.F would later pledge loyalty to Patzi America alongside the DRA and would collapse following the GSTO Invasion and later Soviet Invasion.

## Formation

The Ideas for a new Armed Forces of Altis was realised after the Russian Federation steamrolled through Altis and the FIA were severely ill-equipped to deal with the Invasion. The Post-War Government approached the United States for advise and assistance on how to construct an operational defence and security forces. The US Military sent Field Marshall Mark Baker to the island following his success on the Island apart of the US and UN Forces during the NATO-Russian War. He accepted and organised and oversaw the Creation of the A.S.F using primarily US Army design.

## Components

The A.S.F was made up of 4 Main Components:

### 1st Altian Defence Battalion

The First Altian Defence Battalion was an Elite, Special Forces Unit in the A.S.F modelled on the US SOCOM Units. They were a direct remnant of the FIA and most of it's first members were Civil War and NATO-Russian War Veterans who had served in the FIA during the War. They were very active in the Post-War period where they hunted down FRA Terror Cells. The most infamous unit in 1ADB was F 'Freedom' Company' who were FIA Fighters that had survived the FIA Coup on Malden. This same Unit would ambush the Royal Irish Regiment during The Great War but would be crushed by Soviet Forces. The Battalion had A , B , C , D , E, F Companies.

### Altian Territorial Brigade

The ATB was a conscripted and volunteer based Battalion and they formed the Main Ground Force of the A.S.F. They had the: Altian Infantry Regiment - Volunteer Infantry , Light Armour Regiment - Light Tanks and Motorized Infantry , Defence Regiment - Conscripted Infantry , Urban Defence Regiment - Security (Normally Police Officers etc). The ATB was commanded by Brigadier Stalini , an ex-NSS Colonel and War Criminal who was chosen by the US Forces to command the ATB.

### Altian Air Forces

The AAF (Not to be confused with the Altian Armed Forces) was the main air wing of the A.S.F and primarily were used for defensive purposes and deterring any aircraft from entering their airspace. They were also well equipped for Anti-Ship Engagements to protect Altis from Naval Invasions. They used American F-15s and British Sea Harriers as well as AC130s and various transport aircraft. They worked very closely with the Altian Naval Forces and allied Air Forces.

### Altian Naval Forces

The Altian Navy was a small force consisting of One Destroyer and 58 small patrol vessels. The Navy was supported by One US Aircraft Carrier ,USS Freedom, and other Naval Vessels and US Aircraft. The Altian Navy was very ill-equipped and under-funded so were only capable of defence against Naval Attacks and counter-piracy in the Mediterranean if needed.

## Collapse

As the D.R.A joined the Patzis in the Latter Stages of the Great War, they managed to encircle and cut off many UN Bases belonging to the Byzantines, Royal Irish and Soviet Forces. The A.S.F and US were responsible for the annihilation of the UN Airport at Altis IA Airport and the execution of many Byzantine Peacekeepers, medical and civilian personnel. The Soviets in Telos however managed to push out and relieve the British at Neochori and helped recover a British Convoy which was ambushed by the 1st Altian Defence Battalion. The Soviets manage to capture Pyrgos and the US 19th Infantry Regiment are forced to surrender or evacuate. Out of 500 Soldiers from A and B Company, only 50 make it off island. The D.R.A and A.S.F were beginning to crumble without US Support and mutinies began to be widespread. During the 2 Year Time Jump, The Airforce and Navy were completely obliterated by Soviet and British Aircraft. 1ATB continued to fight in Pyrgos but were destroyed 4 months after Operation Victor's Light. The A.S.F would offer an Unconditional Surrender following the fall of the D.R.A in 2088 but hard-line Altian Fighters continued to fight the Soviets up until 2090 when Altis was invaded by the Soviet Union. Many Former A.S.F Personnel would form The New Rebellion and fight the CRA. Many A.S.F Soldiers also joined the NSAAF before the invasion and would fight The Soviet Invasion and then join the Rebellion.
