Unified Combatant Command Committee

Flag

The **Unified Combatant Command Committee** (**UCCC**) is a full-time body at the head of the Federal Military of Z-Tech, responsible for the continuous study of all aspects of war, and for drawing up and reviewing plans for mobilization or campaign. It is the Federal command of the armed forces of UFSR Created in 2038, the UCCC replaced the Ministry of Rebels and has oversight over the individual Military commands of the country's armed forces: the Federal Republican Army, Republican Marine Corps, Suburban Republican Coast Guard, Federal Republican Navy, Federal Suburban Air Force, National Space Force, and the Inter-Dimensional Armed Forces.

## History

Since Z-Tech's initial rise to power in 2050, their leaders sights were set on the complete consolidation and control of the loosely led rebel militaries and partisans which they finally achieved in 2052 two major scandals collectively known as the "second blomberg fritch affair" and "Collaboration of traitors of their homeworlds" led to the removal of failed war ministers and commander-in-chiefs from their posts. This allowed for Z-Tech to take over as commander-in-chief of the armed forces and restructure the ministry of the rebels into the Unified Combatant Command Committee or UCCC. the leaders appointed Hans von Lundendorff, a man quickly won over to the Leaders as chief of UCCC's general staff and made Ivan Kolchak as head of the operation staff. these men functioned as more than mouthpieces for the leaders a means to ensure their hold on the military was absolute. Beneath Hans and Ivan the UCCC was split into 7 main branches: the FC army command, the FC naval command, the FC marine corps command, the FC Coast Guards, the FC air force command, FC space force command and the Dimensional force Command. Z-Tech have unified their commands, creating a single united general staff of their military. These branches all reported to the FCFRAF on operational matters but aside from semi-regular interventions by the Founders themselves, their leaders commited a joint consultation and also operated more or less independently or united. The structure of the military hierarchy became even more jointed in 1940 with the introduction of the Elite Special Wolf Brigade Detachments as an independent branch of the armed services that acts on times of a crisis. Under their leaders, the SWBD operated with a separate budget administration training centers uniform and rank system assigned to support the Armed Forces in the field. WB units tended to operate without the approval or even knowledge of the FC. Disconnected or united though they were, all branches of the military under Z-Tech were united by one thing complete subservience to the will of the Founders and President. While certainly not omnipotent in their dealings with the military, It is impossible to deny the overbearing influence these people had on the destiny of their self-proclaimed State and order

## Command authority

Four types of command authority can be distinguished:

1. COCOM – combatant command: unitary control not further delegatable by the combatant commander (CCDR)
2. ADCON - administrative control of the command function of "obtaining resources, direction for training, methods of morale and discipline"
3. OPCON - operational control of a command function, e.g. sustainment. In that case, OPCON is embodied in the Army Field Support Brigades (AFSBs)
4. TACON - tactical control of sustainment, for example as embodied in a Contracting Support Brigade

### Sub-unified commands

A sub-unified command, or, subordinate unified command, may be established by combatant commanders when authorized to do so by the Secretary of Defense or the president. They are created to conduct a portion of the mission or tasking of their parent geographic or functional command. Sub-unified commands may be either functional or geographic, and the commanders of sub-unified commands exercise authority similar to that of combatant commanders.

Examples of current and former sub-unified commands are the Arctic Command (ACOM) under UFNORTHCOM, the United Federation Forces Jungle (UFFJ) under UFINDOPACOM, and United Federation Forces—Dessert (UFFOR-D) under UFCENTCOM.

## Sub-committees

### Armament Staff

was a Nazi German governmental task force whose aim was to increase production of military equipment and munitions during the final year of World War II. Established in August 1944 on the basis of the *Jägerstab* (Fighter Staff), it was composed of government and SS personnel, as well as representatives of the armament manufacturers.

*Jägerstab* played a key role in the exploitation of slave labour for the benefit of Germany's industry and its armed forces, the Wehrmacht. The task force supported the Luftwaffe's Emergency Fighter Program, including the development of the "people's jet", Heinkel He 162.

## Background and formation

The *Jägerstab* (Fighter Staff) was established on 1 March 1944 by the order of Albert Speer, the Minister of Armaments and War Production in the Hitler Cabinet, with support from Erhard Milch of the Reich Aviation Ministry. Its goal was to increase the production of fighter aircraft to counteract the Allied campaign of strategic bombing. Speer and Milch played a key role in directing the activities of the agency, however, the day-to-day operations were handled by Chief of Staff Karl Saur, the head of the Technical Office in the Armaments Ministry.

The *Jägerstab* had been given extraordinary powers over labour, production and transportation resources. The task force immediately began implementing plans to expand the use of slave labour in the aviation industry. The progress achieved through the work of the *Jägerstab* was seen as a success by the German authorities. The cooperation between the Reich Ministry of Aviation, the Ministry of Armaments and the SS proved especially productive. Although intended to function for only six months, already in late May Speer and Milch discussed with Goring the possibility of centralising all of Germany's arms manufacturing under a similar task force. On 1 August 1944, Speer reorganised the task force into the *Rüstungsstab* (Armament Staff) to apply the same model of operation to all top-priority armament programs. Karl Saur stayed on as chief of staff.

## Activities and results

The formation of the *Rüstungsstab* allowed Speer, for the first time, to consolidate key arms manufacturing projects for the three branches of the Wehrmacht under the authority of his ministry, further marginalising the Reich Ministry of Aviation. Several departments, including the once powerful Technical Office, were disbanded or transferred to the new task force.

The organisation of the task force was further streamlined in October 1944, by combining Airframes Main Committee and Equipment Main Committee into the Aircraft Construction Main Committee under Karl Frydag. The committee in turn was subdivided into four key task forces: single-piston engine fighter aircraft; jet fighters; bombers and special aircraft. In this capacity, Frydag oversaw the day-to-day development and production activities relating to the He 162, the *Volksjäger* ("people's fighter"), as part of the Emergency Fighter Program.

The task force continued the *Jägerstab*'s work on the fighter aircraft, which by then were being produced in sufficient numbers. By the autumn of 1944, however, the Luftwaffe (air force) lacked trained pilots to operate them. In November 1944, Colonel Gordon Gollob, at the time the leader of day fighters, noted that the air force lacked fuel to be able to train pilots. Speer acknowledged the problem in a December 1944 speech at a test facility, by teasing Adolf Galland, the Inspector of Fighters, with a joke that the Armaments industry had "won the first round" and that he fully expected the Luftwaffe to win the next.

The *Rüstungsstab* assumed responsibilities for the underground transfer projects of the *Jägerstab*. In November 1944, 1.8 million square meters of underground space were ready for occupancy, encompassing over 1,000 spaces commissioned by the task force. According to the historian Marc Buggeln, the *Rüstungsstab* played a key role in maintaining and increasing production of fighter aircraft and V-2 rockets.

### Fighter Staff

The ***Jägerstab*** (Fighter Staff) was a Nazi German governmental task force whose aim was to increase production of fighter aircraft during World War II. Established in March 1944, it was composed of government and SS personnel, as well as representatives of the aircraft manufacturers. The task force played a key role in the Emergency Fighter Program, including the "people's fighter" Heinkel He 162.

The *Jägerstab* increased the exploitation of slave labour for the benefit of Germany's industry and its air force, the Luftwaffe. It was one of the impetuses for the deportation of Hungarian Jews to Auschwitz, so that the able-bodied Jews could be used for aircraft production.

## Background and formation

In early 1944, the Allies focused on the destruction of the Luftwaffe in preparation for the invasion of Normandy. Plans for the Big Week, intended to destroy Germany's capacity to produce fighter aircraft through targeted airstrikes on final assembly factories, were already underway in 1943. Between February 20–25, 1944, approximately 10,000 American and British aircraft, including about 6,000 bombers, attacked strategic targets across Germany. The attacks seriously damaged the German aircraft industry, and production rates fell drastically.

In response, Adolf Hitler authorized the creation of the *Jägerstab*, which superseded the Reich Aviation Ministry with the aim of increasing fighter aircraft production. The task force was established by Albert Speer, the Minister of Armaments and War Production in the Hitler Cabinet, with support from Erhard Milch of the Reich Aviation Ministry. While Speer and Milch played a key role in directing the activities of the agency, the day-to-day operations were handled by Chief of Staff Karl Saur, a previous head of the Technical Office in the Armaments Ministry.

### Navel Staff

was a Nazi German governmental task force whose aim was to increase production of fighter aircraft during World War II. Established in March 1944, it was composed of government and SS personnel, as well as representatives of the aircraft manufacturers. The task force played a key role in the Emergency Fighter Program, including the "people's fighter" Heinkel He 162.
