The Military of Kitex

KX's Military History
The first military conflict the nation of Kitex973 was in is called the Unexpected War. A nation seemingly randomly decided to attack us. The 10th Army Platoon in Kitex fought the invaders and won. The battle was fought in the mountains near the small town of Usigawa. The invading army first fired an anti-tank weapon at our the 10th. The leader of the 10th platoon, John Smitherwit, had elements of the 10th flank the enemy into a pincer movement. While the invaders were getting attacked from the sides, Smitherwit ordered that the rest of the 10th to attack the enemy head-on. The invaders then retreated with severe losses. The 10th Army Platoon lost 20 troops while the invading force lost 15.

The next military conflict that the nation was in is called the Wolfpack War. This is when MHA declared war on the alliance Wolfpack. The nation of Kitex started a war with one of their members as ordered to by the MHA higher-ups. We started off w/ a bombing run. We then deployed around 150 troops to the enemy nation. The 2nd Platoon, 5th Brigade saw the most action in the war. The 2nd traveled through the jungle meeting heavy resistance, the 2nd, lead by Quinn Jazamir. Quinn first called in an airstrike on the enemy positions. He then made 10 troops go back to a treeline to serve as a reserve force. The enemy force then flanked the 2nd but the 2nd's reserve force came up behind them and the enemy force was eliminated. Losses on either side- Unknown

Another military conflict that the nation of Kitex973 was involved in is called the War of the Coalition. This was win the nation was involved in two wars at once,with very powerful enemies. One was an MHA rogue and the other was from the alliance Genesis.

The Chihuahua (pronounced Chi-hOO-A-hOO-A) Canal Campaign

This started when the nation of Serrano invaded Kitex973. The Serranian forces came in from a southernly direction with an overwhelming force, even though the nation was technologically 3rd rate. The nearby garrison of the 3rd Marine Corps division, 10th Brigade, the Serranian force attacked the garrison. The commander in charge was Tom Pettision. He tried to flank the enemy force but failed horribly. With the fall of the KXMC garrison, the 3rd main source of water in the nation was lost and in control of Serrano. A counteroffensive was planned immediately by the top generals in the military. As this was going on, the nation of Warlord was doing serious bombing runs on us from the north. The Warlordians made easy pickings of the Kitexian Air Force (KXAF) and terrorized the civilian populace almost daily by launching cruise missiles. Some allies in MHA helped fight the Warlordian Air Force but not with the Serranian land forces. The generals of the KXMC and the KX Army, immediately started to plan a counter offensive. With the help of an MHA ally, the KX military attacked the Serranian forces and ousted them from the nation. The Kitexian generals then began a massive bombing of the nation of Warlord and also a full scale invasion of Serrano. The Kitexian military was successful in both operations.

Also Kitex was heavily involved in the Karma War losing one war, its first or second war loss and a total of 55-57 thousand soldiers.

Army
The Kitexian Army currently has 4,000 troops in it (includes active and reserve units). The KX Army, as are all of the Kitexian military branches, is hard to get into. You must pass a physical and then go through nine weeks of grueling training in order to prove your worth. While training, you must memorize how to handle, use, and take care of your weapon and also memorize a Code Of Honor that is across-the-board for all Kitexian military branches. Currently the primary weapon for the Army is the XM-16.

Structure of the Kitexian Army
The Army is made up of 4,000 troops. 2,100 are the "regular army" who are the active-duty soldiers and are the first ones that are deployed during times of war and crisis. The other part of the Army is the reserves. These soldiers preform only part-time duties as opposed to full-time ("active duty") soldiers, but rotate through mobilizations to full-time duty. When not on active duty, reserve soldiers typically perform training or service one weekend per month (inactive duty for training or "Battle Assembly") and for two continuous weeks at some time during the year (annual training). Many reserve soldiers are organized into Army Reserve units (troop program unit or TPU), while others serve to augment active Army units (Individual Mobilization Augmentee or IMA), or are simply in non-drilling control groups of the Individual Ready Reserve ("IRR").

Special Forces of the Kitexian Army
Special Forces are asked with five primary missions: unconventional warfare, foreign internal defense, special reconnaissance, direct action, and counter-terrorism. The first two emphasize language, cultural, and training skills in working with foreign troops. Other duties include combat search and rescue (CSAR), security assistance, peacekeeping, humanitarian assistance, humanitarian demining, counter-proliferation, psychological operations, and counter-drug operations; other components of the United States Special Operations Command or other U.S. government activities may also specialize in these secondary areas.

Kite's Death Brigade that was formed during the Rebellion has been broken up from the 100 man force down to about 25 SF groups, 15 of which are in the reserves. Of the 10 active groups, only two are working right now on combating the pirate "invasion" of the coastal cities in northwestern Kitex.

Tank Corps
The nation of Kitex only purchases tanks right before going to war, as it is more cost effective, but we do have a total of 1,000 engineers and actual combat operatives constantly working on virtual tanks, keeping their skills sharp.

Marine Corps
There are currently on 3,000 KX Marines (including active and reserves) as the KXMC are a truly elite unit. They have must first pass a physical and then go through 13 weeks of training that is to make them the best of the best. The KXMC is, without a doubt, the best and most elite fighting force that the nation of Kitex has ever seen. They are truly able to operate on their own without any aid whatsoever.

National Guard
The Kitexian National Guard is the citizen-soldier volunteer force that inhabits each city and town in the nation. There can be as few as 10 or as many as 100,000 NG members in a town. The NG is not a part of the Army, yet can be called on to be deployed overseas to help protect the nation.

National Guard units can be mobilized for active duty, during times of war or of national emergency declared by Parliament, by the President or the Secretary of Defense to supplement regular armed forces. They can also be activated for service in their respective provinces upon declaration of a state of emergency by the governor of the province or territory in which they serve; in the case of Shiftyville, the Commanding General. Unlike Army Reserve members, National Guard members cannot be mobilized individually, except through voluntary transfers and Temporary Duty Assignments.

Current Wars
The Kitexian military is currently not engaging any enemy.
