Red Faction Land Forces

The Red Faction's Army is split into several groups, each with its own designation: Marines(M), Army(A), and Special Fores(N)

The designations for each group corresponds with a number to represent the section of that group.
These Sections are:
[Letter]1 - Infantry
[Letter]2 - Armor
[Letter]3 - Artillery
[Letter]4 - Air(Land-Based)
[Letter]5 - Local Logistics
[Letter]6 - Command units

The exception to this is for Special Forces(N) where they are rated N1-7 based on their effectiveness and skill while in combat.


Marines:
- Units that are based primarily on ships and are used as a major portion of large-scale planetary invasions. Each Marine is a battle-hardened shocktrooper and will rather die than see defeat.

-UNDER CONSTRUCTION-

Notable Units:
-UNDER CONSTRUCTION-


Army:
- The forces of the RFA are the first line of defense for any world and make up the bulk of any attack force. These units are also responsible for backing up the police of each world in the Red Faction's domain.

-UNDER CONSTRUCTION-

Notable Units:
-UNDER CONSTRUCTION-


Special Forces:
- The Special forces units of the Red Faction are soldiers who have dedicated their lives to the sole purpose of service in the defense of the Red Faction, its leadership, and those they care for. Always on call, each individual soldier will lay down their lives if the situation calls for it and will never relent in any operation they are deployed in.

-UNDER CONSTRUCTION-

Notable Units:
- Rapid Strike Infantry Force (RSIF) Units (Most notable: 3rd RSIF)
--- Commanded by General Alec J. Kaidan, these soldiers are deployed ahead of advance units to deal with hostile elements that would ------hamper progress of the main combat force; The soldiers of the 3rd RSIF are always deep in combat on deployments, be it from ------dropping onto a hostile world or as part of a strategic strike behind enemy lines, and prefer it as such. Consists of N5 through N7 ------operators.

- Armored Infantry (Most notable: 8th Armored Infantry)
--- The Red Faction armored infantry consists of some of the most fearless soldiers in the Red Faction military. These soldiers are -----outfitted with Heavy power armor and are often used as pathfinders for primary invasion forces, but also can find themselves -----working alongside the Red Faction RSIF units during large-scale invasions of hostile worlds. Consists of N5 operators.

- Nanosuit Combat Operators (Most Notable: Omega Squad)
--- Equipped, and trained, with the most advanced of military tech, Nanosuit operators are literal reapers on the battlefield with the ability -----to enhance their strength, speed, harden their suits in the face of enemy fire, and disappear from sight within seconds. Every unit -----fields the newer Nanosuit 2.0. This group consists only of N7 Operators.

- ITO Special Forces
--- Specialized troopers with the charge of dealing with issues of faction security, cleanup of sensitive intel(destruction), Reconnaissance, -----and also the functions of normal marines if need be. Each ITO member is chosen from the ranks of the Red Faction Marines if they -----display the skills worthy of an elite soldier. Consists of N4 Operators.

- Praetorian Guard (Picture(Red Faction - Rank: Centurion - Ceremonial armor): http://wall.alphacoders.com/wallpaper.php?i=112610&w=1680&h=1050&stretched=true)
NOTE: Praetorians stationed in protection of military assets/personnel in high-risk areas utilize their Combat armor. Each is their own customizations of Mjolnir Generation I/II armor that each choose for themselves from different Base Variants.

(Again thank you Dominion for allowing me the ability to use the Spartan Armors)

-- The most skilled of personnel in both the Red Faction and True Sith Empire. These men and women are hand-picked by the Dark
--- Lords (TSE) or by the Red Faction Command staff from the most skilled of N7 Operators. The job these men and women face is
--- the safe-guarding of the High Command and Governing body (RF) or Dark Lords and Council of Five (TSE) from any threat. Each is
--- trained in the highest degrees of military tradition and etiquette and will fight until their dying breath in the defense of who/what
--- they are assigned to. To be a member of the Praetorian Guard is shown as the Highest honor in both the Red Faction and True Sith
--- Empire, many of the most elite of N7 operators were chosen to be Praetorian Guardsmen and few turned it down; the most notable
--- exception was General Kaidan who had partaken in the training but opted-out for life as an Officer in the Army/Special Forces just
--- before his initiation. These are led by Lord Kelek, Darth Korr's only apprentice, who holds the rank amongst them of Legate and is --- always dressed in his Sith robes.
--- Consists of only the most skilled of N7 Operators.
