These tables include information referred to in other chapters—basic training doctrines, national modifications to basic Twilight careers, types of aircraft flown, and which chart to refer to in the "Special Forces" chapter for nation-specific special units. It also includes the nation's updated basic equipment and, for character detail purposes, the conflicts each nation has been involved in in the last forty years. Note that many nations, in the era since the breakup of the Soviet Union, are radically reducing the size of their armed forces.

This is perhaps the most comprehensive clearinghouse of information on world militaries on the Worldwide Web. Reader contributions are actively solicited for this page! |
