New Carthaginian Armed Forces
The New Carthaginian Defense Forces (Esperanto : La Nov-Kartagaj Defendaj Fortoj) is the national military of Nova Kartago. The President of the New Carthaginians is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces. The New Carthjaginian Armed Forces was established one year after Nova Kartago became independent in May 2020. The Armed Forces comprise four branches: the Land Component, the Air Component, the Naval Component and the Medical Component.
History
Establishment
When Nova Kartago broke away from the Italian republic in 2019 it was initially expected that a neutral buffer state, with its borders guaranteed, could avoid the need for an expensive permanent military force, relying instead on the part-time militia of the existing Civita Gvardio (Civil Guard). The need for a regular army was however soon acknowledged. The basis for recruitment was one of selective conscription under which exemptions could be purchased by obtaining substitutes. In practice this meant that only about a 12% of each year's eligible intake actually served, with the burden falling on the poorer classes.
Current status
Since 2020, the three independent armed forces have been merged into one unified structure and organised with four components. They are structured as follows:
1 - Land Component,
2 - Air Component,
3 - Naval Component,
4 - Medical Component,
The operational commands of the components are directly subordinate to the Chief of Defence (CHOD).
As a result of the increased threat of terrorism which became apparent , the Now Carthaginian Armed Forces were committed in Operation Homeland, to assist the police with securing high-profile targets in the major cities. This military protection was expanded to include soft targets in the public space, increasing the commitment of troops to between 1250 and 1800 (Operation Vigilant Guardian).
Land Component
The New Carthaginian Land Component is the ground arm of the New Carthaginian Armed Forces. The Land Component Commander is Grand-Marshal Arkadios Agathon (since May 18, 2020). The Land Component consists of one staff , two brigades, supported by as an artillery unit, two construction battalions and reconnaissance troops. It is supported by three logistical units, three telecommunication units, four training camps and a center for the training of ground troops. The land component has some 10,000 troops (as of 2020) and trained for foreign operations in a multinational environment.
Air Component
The New Carthaginian Air Component is the air arm of the New Carthaginian Armed Forces. The air component commander is Air-Marshal aviator Loukianos Valentinus (as of May 18, 2020). The air component consists of two fighter aircraft wing, the second tactical wing , operating the F-16 Fighting Falcon and a unit (80 UAV squadron) flying the B-Hunter reconnaissance UAV, the 10 tactical wing , operating the F-16 Fighting Falcon, the 15 air transport wing operating 10 Lockheed C-130 Hercules transport aircraft as well as a small fleet of troop transport and VIP aircraft, a multi-aircraft wing and the first wing operating training aircraft and helicopters (A-109 and NH-90 helicopters).
