Rapid Reaction Force

The USNA's Rapid Reaction Force is the military force that is always ready to deploy at a moments notice. It has worldwide projection capabilities due to a number of transport aircraft, naval assets, and pre-positioned equipment. Its primary goal is to lead an attack against the enemies of the NADC within hours of a declaration of war.

Strength
The USNA RRF is currently at the strength of 2 divisions.

Equipment
Due to the Rapid Reaction Force's unique mission it also requires specialized equipment. The RRF's equipment is mostly light as it must be able to be transported by aircraft. It has however some heavy units at pre-positioned storage depots.

Infantry Weapons
