[Waterson] The Vanu Phalanx


Hello all!

I represent an outfit known as the Vanu Phalanx. On behalf of my leader, I'm here to try and inject some vitality back into the outfit.

The Vanu Phalanx is an outfit dedicated to the DEFENSE of territory under attack and bases we've just newly acquired.

Our official Write up:
__________________________________________________ _________________
Most outfits and the platoons they make up are focused on Attack! Attack! Attack!

I felt this created a need for a more defensive outfit that would focus on defending recently captured front line territory and repelling enemy incursions along the front line. This should reinforce and assist the aforementioned outfits/platoons/general zerg attacking forces and result in a more successful VANU!

The Four Piece System

The basis of how I want The Vanu Phalanx to work is a relatively simply 4 division system that should allow every kind of player to find a home in our operations. I've developed 4 division callsigns embodying their intended roles: Foothold, Shield, Spear, and Archer.

Division Explanations

FOOTHOLD
Ground Based Infantry Operations

Use
Wherever Foothold's Sunderer is deployed becomes the Vanu Phalanx STRONGHOLD. This is the base of operations for all Phalanx Activities and the primary defense location for Shield. Foothold creates a solid foundation by which to hold territory by providing front line spawning, repair service and extra firepower to Shield, along with general infantry presence. Foothold will also provide Spear with infantry reinforcement upon request.

Shield is the wall of strength that holds Vanu Sovereignty front line through the defense of the Vanu Phalanx Stronghold. This is the outfit's armor division that will bear the full force of any enemy offensive. Main Battle Tanks supported by Light Tanks supported by Anti Aircraft Vehicles. Shield will be the last to arrive to a territory but its arrival will mean that territory will not fall easily.

---
The astute among you should have noticed by now that each of these divisions "Single Platoon Complement" will fit quite snugly within a single squad of a PS2 Platoon. This was indeed intentional!

The idea is that if we have everyone understand their role, communicate and coordinate, and stick to the plan, we should be quite a formidable defensive force! I would love to hear everyone else's input on my ideas! Please don't hesitate to comment!
