List of all doctrines
Mountaineers
This doctrine unlocks new support company - (unrecognized string "Rangers" for Template:Icon). They act as recon in your divisions.
Inhospitable environments and bitter conflicts attract the toughest soldiers to our elite forces. Enshrining their primacy in our doctrinal philosophy ensures we will continue to benefit from the recruitment of the very best.
Cold weather specialists are vital to our battlefield tactics. By formally recognizing these experts in our military constitution, we can free up resources and training to elevate them even further.
Specializing in infiltration and tactical awareness, we will benefit from accentuating the hostile environment training our Rangers receive.
Our elite regiments benefit from counter-intelligence and battlefield awareness second to none. Additional training is sure to benefit us further.
Our elite forces must focus their efforts on holding the areas in which they specialize. A combination of ambush tactics and improved regimental organization ensure that our special forces present a significant defense-in-depth against invading forces.
Mountain Artillery regiments are specialized forces designed for the rapid long range support of our elite divisions, having trained and operated in difficult terrain. Their presence significantly enhances the combat capabilities of our special forces.
Though our elite regiments operate on a highly independent basis, augmenting their training regimen with a focus on combined arms operations increases their utility on the field.
The success of our elite special forces mandates a reorganization of our military philosophy around their presence.
Shared Instructors iconShared Instructors
- Special forces Attack: +10%
- Cold acclimatization gain factor: +10%
- Hot acclimatization gain factor: +10%
- Special Forces Capacity Multiplier: +20%
- Special Forces Non-Combat Out of Supply: -10%
With the knowledge our mountain forces have acquired, it would be foolish not to put this to good use within the other branches of our special forces. We shall institute a programme of instructor rotation in the hope of improving our overall institutional knowledge.
Marines
This doctrine unlocks new support company - (unrecognized string "Pioneers" for Template:Icon). They act as engineers in your divisions.
The Marine Corps serves where no other dare go. From home shore to foreign clime, these experts excel at infiltration and amphibious combat. A wide reach and flexible philosophy should be made core to our military doctrine.
Adept at clearing dense terrain, these marines excel at large scale offensive operations and engineering in rough terrain.
Often first into the the breach at landings, shore parties are specialized groups of combat engineers with expertise in establishing a foothold under fire.
Nothing prepares a man for war, but our combat instructors assure us they can come close enough that only the most hardened recruits make it to where it counts.
Marine Commandos iconMarine Commandos
- Enables (unrecognized string "Marine Commandos" for Template:Icon)
- (unrecognized string "Marine Commandos" for Template:Icon) have the ability to exfiltrate from any coastal province
- Cold acclimatization gain factor: +10%
- Hot acclimatization gain factor: +10%
Our marines have proven their worth at extended operations behind enemy lines. It is time we took the step of cementing this practice in our doctrine, and organizing the troops around effective hit-and-run behaviour.
Expeditionary Units iconExpeditionary Units
- Air Superiority: +10%
- Special Forces Capacity Multiplier: +10%
- Naval Invasion Planning: +20%
Coordinated strikes benefit from improved inter-disciplinary planning and logistics. As our doctrinal philosophy advances, lending greater support to these task forces is sure to benefit us.
Demolition Experts iconDemolition Experts
- (unrecognized string "Marine Commandos" for Template:Icon):
- (unrecognized string "Marine Commandos" for Template:Icon) division will cause 1 level of damage to all strategic state buildings after any successful naval invasion.
Demolition is an art that we can put to good use. Sabotage might be a dirty tactic, but there's no denying its efficacy.
The perfect combination of naval, air, and specialized land force can render any objective securable. This combined-arms approach to offensive warfare shall become the manifestation of our logistical prowess.
The ability to consolidate upon a successful landing can only be enhanced by equipping our vanguard appropriately. This requires a shift in our production strategy as well as doctrine.
Dedicated Training
Available only without 炮手就位
- Special forces Attack: +15%
Let us enhance our elite cadre of special forces, albeit at the expense of their wider applications.
By now, the clear importance of branch cooperation is impossible to overstate. Dedicating task force logistics to our operations truly makes us a force to be reckoned with.
Paratroopers
This doctrine unlocks new support company - (unrecognized string "Airborne Light Armor" for Template:Icon).
There's nothing quite as terrifying as the skies going dark with the sight of a thousand troop-filled transport planes. Our doctrinal philosophy must take advantage of the shock and awe that the airborne instills.
The nature of our operations mandates that our airborne troops specialize in highly dispersed airdrops, allowing for significant sabotage to take place before the enemy are even aware of our presence.
Combat Insertion iconCombat Insertion
- Enemy divisions in states we Paradrop into will have their current Organization reduced.
This effect can occur per state every 30 days.
- Paratrooper Special Forces Cap Contribution: -10%
While dangerous, training our elite forces in direct forced entry techniques can give us significant combat advantages in combination with conventional assault.
Certain light tanks can be adapted for airborne drop via heavy glider. This novel method of combat insertion may be niche, but provides us with new opportunities.
Nothing can compare to a perfect line of communication with our troops behind the lines. Training signal companies for airborne insertion will keep these critical communications going, even in the worst conditions.
The scale of our airborne operations has increased to such a degree that even essential medical equipment must be prepared for airborne insertion.
Even the best drop can go awry. We must ensure that our troops are trained well in improvised navigation.
Instituting the creation of a dedicated air lift administration means we can better outfit our cargo planes for the specific purpose of airborne insertion.
Only the most battle-hardened veterans should be considered for our airborne battalions. While this may reduce our field of recruits, it is bound to pay dividends on the battlefield.
Our armed forces will henceforth be built upon the skill and training of our airborne troops. The skies will darken at their coming, and our enemy shall know fear.
