[DOCTRINE]
As a small but progressive and technologically savvy nation the Army will employ a series of defensive movements and will utilize the principle of territorial defence in the event of an invasion by a larger adversary. This includes protecting important would-be targets, maintaining operability and cohesion even in the face of defeat, using attrition and delaying tactics against our enemy, as well as preventing entry and conducting repelling/counter attacks.
This cannot be made possible without a technological advantage or a rigid structure of command. Thus, for the welfare of the nation, it is vital that all soldiers know how we conduct warfare. To better the way we conduct ourselves on the battlefield we must employ the knowledge listed here and adhere to it even in the most strenuous of circumstances.
[CORE VALUES]
The Lebanese Army upholds the highest moral standards for all of it's personnel. This includes the following.
Uphold the Constitution of Lebanon and the orders of those it gives authority*.
We will never cheat, steal, lie, beg, cajole, or otherwise illicitly attempt to influence an event's outcome.
We will never participate in acts of cruelty, always maintaining a good sense of human decency and respect for your fellow man.
The Army will be the epitome of community, we are all committed to each other and our nation's citizens. As such we should only engage in positive or mind-expanding conversation, of course, varying on the individual.
*These orders are invalidated if they are not subject to our core values.
[REGULATIONS]
1 - Military personnel must adhere to all regulations, no exceptions. Failure to do so will result in a military trial*.
2 - Military personnel must wear a uniform of their branch, issued to them by a superior, whilst on-duty**. These uniforms must bear a patch or are illegitimate. Off-duty personnel may wear the uniform or civilian attire.
3 - The Rules of Engagements dictate one must survey the situation and utilize what information they have on-hand to make a decision to fire. If you are operating in a small unit, wait for the acting leader to make the call.
4 - #eapons violations are taken seriously and failure to adhere to the Rules of Engagement will result in a trial and potential expulsion from Lebanese society.
5 - Military personnel must participate in at least one activity (FTX, BMT, etc.) per month or they risk demotion and placement into a reserve force.
6 - You must adhere to all Lebanese laws. No discrimination or selective behavior will occur within the Army.
7 - Faces are not allowed while you are on-duty - one must conduct themselves well when bearing the Lebanese flag on their person.
8 - Only official doctrine and procedure may be taught during training sessions. Non-official material may be discussed in an informal setting, off-duty.
*Separate from the civilian judicial system.
** On-duty refers to any time you are engaging in an organized Lebanese activity.
[PROCEDURE]
Official procedure will be listed here and only here, it is against the law to teach an individual a non-official policy or procedure.
(TRAINING)
1 - The Private will wait for a Basic Military Training (BMT) to occur, joining one once they see an opportunity to do so.
2 - The Instructor will organize as many Priv#########he can muster, proceeding to first explain the doctrine and core values of our Armed Forces. He will ask you all to recite them 2-3 times. He will do this throughout the training.
3 - As the Instructor speaks to the class, he will determine whether that individual is capable of holding a position in the Armed Forces. Those who cannot will be dismissed and barred from trying for a week.
4 - The Instructor will instruct the remaining participants about regulations, they will recite as is needed.
5 - The Instructor will give the trainee's a non-functional rifle to be used for drill. He will go over the several commands used until the class understands. During this period they will also be asked to recite the core values, doctrine, and regulations.
6 - After sufficient drill has occurred, the Instructor will move onto infantry mechanics and movements. The primary principle of infantry fighting is to maintain unit cohesion and coordination. Without this, not even a tank can save you.
7 - The class will be divided into two groups and placed on opposite sides of the map. They are to cooperate and complete their mock objective. After completion of this 'operation', they will be separated once more. During the second operation they will be on opposite teams or a smaller third unit will contest the two othrs.
8 - The Instructor will evaluate and determine the eligibility of the participants and conduct a final promotion ceremony in which they will be assigned units and given funding for uniforms. Special Operations scouts may be seeking class top-picks for recruitment.
*Other ranks may participate but will not be promoted or rewarded.
(COMBAT)
1 - A unit will be briefed and organized prior to deployment, utilizing as much information as is available to determine the best method of approach.
2 - The force will split into at least 2 teams and begin their deployment. These teams must stay apart enough to not be seen as a single element but close enough to provide assistance or engage in a flanking maneuver if engaged.
3 - Once the unit reaches their objective they will reform into a single unit and hold the objective. If all goes well, victory will be achieved and we will be debriefed and given promotions.
4 - Those who fall whilst holding the objective must regroup into another team (2+ people) and move to support the main element. The main element will continue to defend to the best of its ability, potentially committing to counter-attacks.
5 - If a retreat is ordered all personnel are dismissed and must leave or suffer imprisonment by a foreign army. This is only for the most drastic of circumstances and may not be ordered in operations on Lebanese soil.
(NON-COMBAT)
1 - A unit may not leave the base unless a Adjutant+ is present and is willing to organize a small-scale operation. These kinds of operation includes assisting local forces, mounting patrols, and making incursions onto rebel territory.
2 - Unless 2+ Adjutant+'s are present only 1 team may be utilized. Report that you are conducting such an operation before it occurs. If you are engage in a side-task be sure to inform others of doing so on the radio.
3 - After the operation has occurred, without incident, report any findings or unusual experiences. If an incident did occur, report it immediately to a high rank or the National News Agency. Promotions may be given depending on the nature and outcome of the operation. |
