Current Affairs
With the completion of a series of Intelligence Agencies, the SOS population is now under the vigilant eye of the BAI (Brigade Agency for Intelligence). Social and economic development has always been a priority for the HQ, but recent times have taught the Brigade leadership that a strong military is also important. Recent plans have allotted for a larger reserve force of soldiers ready to be called up at any time. Armor forces are almost entirely held in reserve as well, only deployed in times of crisis. With recent advances in air technology, it has become militarily viable to wield an air force, and with the purchase of many squadrons of F-35 Lightning IIs and B-52 Stratofortresses, the Brigade is ready and capable of defending its domestic interests from foreign aggression. Plans are underway to continue the advancement of technology with the goal of designing stealth fighter and bomber aircraft.
