UNIT DESCRIPTION
Revolutionary Guard
An elite formation devoted to defending the Revolutions against all enemies, within or without. The Revolutionary Guard is a heavily indoctrinated unit which prefers to recruit orphans or others who lack connections outside of the unit. This means that for most guardsmen the Guard is their home, their family, the only place where they have felt valued. As a consequence the Revolutionary Guard is extremely devoted, some would say fanatical, and will fight to the bitter end even under very trying circumstances. In terms of training and equipment they are fitted out like any full time front-line fighting force, with long service times and stringent, though politically influenced, recruitment criteria.
Ministério da Segurança do Estado (MSE) Special Purpose Brigades
The MSE's trouble-shooters, these units are not simply political thugs as some would have it, rather they are well trained and highly educated troops. That last part may seem strange, but the troops in the SPBs are also MSE agents, not just soldiers. The combination of high intelligence, good training, and lengthy experience makes them a premier counter-insurgency unit. They also act as a lifeguard unit for the Great Leader and certain other high government officials.
Marines (Corpo de Fuzileiros Navais)
The CFN is a fairly standard marine corps; that is light infantry capable of operating in an amphibious and riverine capacity. It's the latter capacity they have the most experience with, but they've actually performed amphibious operations during the revolution in the Congo. For the most part the Brazilian Marines act as a rapid response force in the north and in other sparsely populated areas.
Cavalry
These units tend to act as dragoons, that is to say they dismount before combat. In general they act as both a rapid response force and a large scale raiding force. Their training emphasises hit and run tactics as well as fighting retreats.
Cavalry Artillery Brigades
Horse mobile artillery, where some of the guns can be disassembled for transport. These are not the "flying" brigades of some countries, but rather an artillery unit that is capable of crossing very rugged terrain. Often used for interdiction missions.
Armoured Train Brigades & Railway Artillery Brigades
What it says on the can really. Both types of brigades are divided into three regiments, each of which is assigned to a single train. These units are normally stationed in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, areas which have an extensive railway grid.
Motorized Artillery Brigades
These experimental units were created to give additional speed and tactical mobility to normal artillery units. High Command sees them as a specialized rear-guard unit slowing down invading Argentina or Cisplatine forces. The idea is that they will be able to rapidly reach important passes and valleys, deploy, place the enemy under bombardment and then evacuate before the enemy can overrun them.
Artillery Brigades
These are fairly common horse-drawn artillery brigades.
Fortress Brigades
Infantry units specializing in holding fortified positions, most of them staff the many coastal forts of Brazil, but there are a few assigned to forts in the interior as well.
Infantry
Standard infantry, though their training tend to emphasise infiltration and Man Over Machine People's War! These tend to be mobilization only units, but the High Command is considering raising some as a permanent force.
FORTIFICATION TYPES
Level One Fortifications
The key phrase is Area Denial. The object of such a fortress is to prevent the enemy from gaining control over a single, confined area such as a port or a river mouth. Thus Level One fortifications are generally a single fort, possibly with a small number of pillboxes as support in case the fort itself has blind spots.
For costal forts Armaments generally consist of 12" or 13.5" guns, with more modern forts receiving new 15". Inland bases tend to use lower calibres and/or large mortars instead of naval guns. Additionally torpedo batteries are fairly common, though in less vital areas they tend to use older torpedoes no longer in active fleet operations. In a few cases they are also supplemented by remote controlled mines. If the fort is set to defend a port the docks and cranes are often rigged with explosives so they can be destroyed or damaged in case of enemy capture.
Note: Any port or river mouth which is not specifically mentioned elsewhere can be assumed to have a Level One Fortification.
Level Two Fortifications
The key phrase is Area Defence. The object of these fortifications, for they are rarely just as single fort anymore, is to defend a key point and its surroundings; such as a town, an island, or a small city. Generally coastal installations still include a single large fort, but they are invariably supplemented by pillboxes and bunkers, occasionally disguised as ordinary houses. Said fortifications are generally laid out so that the main fort will be the last to fall.
Armaments are similar to those of Level One fortifications, but the most up to date coastal forts are more likely to have 15" or even 16.5" guns. Additionally torpedo batteries tend to be of the modern type, and radio controlled mines are far more common.
Level Three Fortifications
The key phrase is Area and Access Defence. The object is no longer simply to prevent the enemy from taking control of a key point and its surroundings, but also to ensure that lines of transport remain open so that reinforcements can arrive. This requires a more spread out defensive system combined with a prepared transport infrastructure. Often these defences rely partially on prepared fortifications, concrete is cheap after all, and partially on mobile forces. As a rule a Level Three fortification is also a mustering point for mobilization.
Armaments are similar to those of the Level One and Two fortifications, even if larger (15"-16.5") calibres are the norm among coastal forts. Modern torpedo batteries are the norm, so are remote controlled mines where those would be convenient. At this point anti-air efforts tend to expand greatly and to be better co-ordinated as well.
Level Four Fortifications
The key phrase is Large Area and Access Defence. Simply put the object here is no longer simply to defend an area and the access routes to it, but rather to allow a large industrial area to maintain operations while under enemy attack. As in Level Three there's a combination of emphasis on prepared positions versus the flexible response of the garrison. However Level Four fortifications are generally backed by railways as well as roads, in addition to elaborate underground communications and command systems.
Armaments vary depending on need, but heavier calibres are invariably present in great numbers. So are torpedoes, remote controlled mines, and many other more cunning weapons systems. All Level Four fortifications have an extensive local anti-air defence system of the type that's starting to be deployed at strategic Level Three locations.
FORTIFIED AREAS
The Coastal Route Defence Area
This defence area stretches from the coast to roughly 80 miles inland and from the Cisplatine border to São Paulo. It is the quickest route to invade if you're advancing from the Cisplatine border towards São Paulo. Its main purpose is to blunt an enemy attack so that reinforcements may arrive, or by its sheer presence force the enemy to make an attack further to the west. All across the route there are plans to blow up tunnels and bridges, or trigger rock or mud slides to block important roads.
Note that this is not a Maginot style defence, nor does it rely on static fortifications. Though prepared positions exist the emphasis is on a flexible defence taking advantage of the terrain.

Reconnaissance Airships
Optimised for altitude and speed the reconnaissance airships can cover vast areas of ocean much faster than any alternatives. They are equipped with powerful radios for communications, as well as telescopes and cameras. There are even proper darkrooms aboard allowing for on the spot photo analysis.
Propaganda Airship
This airship is equipped with powerful voice radios capable of a surprising degree of frequency skipping and channel hijacking. Equipped with several powerful loudspeakers it can fly over the Amazonian rainforest and ensure that the natives there can rejoice in the words of the Great Leader. They can also do the same in other places where propagandizing is required. In addition it carries a disassembled cinema projector and projector screen, so that it can set up a cinema on the spot wherever it goes. Better yet if time is of the essence it has a powerful movie projector built into the ship, enabling it to stay several hundred feet up in the air while projecting a movie on any convenient surface.
Freight Airship
These behemoths carry their own landing pole so they can, if necessary, land just about anywhere. In their spacious cargo holds they can carry up to fifty tons of supplies, possibly more if the landing pole is detached.

Infrastructure: 3 [Roads are bane and virtually nonexistent; the railroad remains the supreme communication, but it's wide-reaching and serving the industry]
Standing military limit: 3 [Russia mobilizes no faster than others; and probably often slower. The new mobilization plan, drafted with the experience of the Period of Wars (1914-1920) focuses on keeping a relatively large standing Army versus many possible rivals, and have a World War I-like mobilization reserve in case of another major war]
Navy: 3 [Russian ascendancy to being a naval power was not cut short; the surviving Russian Empire capital ships live on in the RKKF; two carriers are constructed and Russia fields 11 dreadnaught battleships and battlecruisers, as well as a large semi-modern destroyer fleet]
Army: 3 (1+2) [Soviet peacetime regular army, the RKKA, is quite large, expecting an attack of bourgeois coalition of nations that could field more than 2,5 million men against it in 192X. The total mobilization pool of the Soviet Armed Forces (all branches) is 17,5 million (14% of 125 million), whereas the standing Army is 1,05 million men, and the planned reserves per the 1925 mobilization plan are 4,2 million men]
Air force: 3 [Russian Airforce is in the process of being born; the Russian Empire's wartime planes are obsolete and worn out. The large construction programme only started in 1924-1925, and so the Airforce is even smaller than industrial capacities allow - but it will expand]

Colonial Defense Command Uruguay (CDCU)
CDCU Defensive Line Map
Northern Defensive Line (Bella Union to Chuy, Approximately 550km front)
Regional Defense Commands:
1. RDC Artigas
2. RDC Rivera
3. RDC Cerro Largo
4. RDC Rocha
Each RDC encompasses a front of roughly 135km out of 550km of primary line stretching through four RDCs. The Northern line is made up of three lines with roughly 30km to 50km between them. The first line or “Defense Line Primary” sits roughly 50km back from the northern border providing a highly mapped and surveyed “no mans land” between it and the border in which advancing enemy forces can be easily targeted with precision artillery and machinegun fire. The “no mans land” has been broken into a grid pattern for precise timed over the horizon fire. The primary line is multilayered with the first layer sporting cement pillboxes and prepared sandbagged trench networks along the northern most edge armed mostly with 13mm HMGs, 7.62mm LMGs and various prepared mortar emplacements armed with 75mm, 81mm, 90mm and 170mm infantry mortars. The smallest of the lot often placed in pillboxes for use as anti-tank guns.
The second layer sports moderately armored bunkers clad in feet of steel plate and cement, mostly connected by cement and sandbag reinforced trenches interspersed with pillboxes. These trenches often sport camouflaged awnings and tarps to conceal their locations and provide shelter from the weather. They are armed in a fashion similar to the first layer. The second layer bunkers are armed with light artillery mostly 37mm/56cal anti-tank guns and 75mm/38cal guns in casemate mounts, small cement and steel turrets and revetments along the trenches. The bunkers also sport armored HMG mounts in cupolas and mortar emplacements.
The third and strongest layer is comprised of heavily armored bunkers guarded with steel plate and heavily rebarred cement. This third layer is designed to be gas resistant while former layers only sport gas resistant bunkers in the case of the second layer. All troops on the line are trained in resisting gas attacks and are equipped with gas masks and related equipment in general. These heavy bunkers are partially connected by “guarded” trenches similar to those used in the second layer interspersed with lighter pillboxes and mid-level bunkers. Besides the trench networks, the largest bunkers strategically positioned along the line are connected by underground tunnel networks opening some distance behind the third layer. The major bunker networks receive power from the main Uruguayan power grid through underground cables and sport backup diesel generators as well. Third layer bunkers are armed with 37mm/56cal anti-tank guns, 88mm/41cal and 105mm/45cal guns as well as various HMGs and mortars.
Behind the hardened third layer a forth layer of lighter trenches and pillboxes runs the length of the line. This layer is mostly reserved for support units and artillery positions. Normally this layer sports only 25% of its full compliment though prebuilt revetments and mounts sit ready for artillery to be brought up and quickly placed at the ready. This layer also sports four heavily reinforced cement and steel plate covered revetments designed to accept the standard 14in railway guns on special roll-in rotating mounts.
“Defense Line Primary” is always manned by two full divisions of defense line-specific infantry and artillery units and usually one Division of Infantry and their attached artillery quartered in barracks along the fourth layer.
“Defense Line Secondary” sits 50km back from “Defense Line Primary” and sports a similar layered system though the third layer is significantly less well defended then its Primary Line counterpart with large stretches of the third layer guarded only by mid-level bunkers and “guarded” trenches. However, the third layer is not devoid of heavy fortifications and several are positioned at key points along the line. The forth layer is prepared in a fashion similar to that of the Primary Line though only sports two revetments for railway guns and normally only 5% of it’s artillery with barracks capable of quartering three Divisions worth of infantry.
Normally, the Secondary Line is maintained only by a skeleton crew for upkeep and maintenance and receives its operational crews when the Readiness Condition is increased.
“Defense Line Tertiary” really dose not exist as one continuous line, instead it is a collection of smaller lines positioned at strategic points 40 to 50km or more behind the Secondary Line. These lines are three layered with standard first and second layers and a third layer for artillery and support personnel. Third Line segments also run along the northern edges of many northern Uruguayan towns and cities behind the main lines to defend them from an enemy advance that may breach the Primary and Secondary lines. Though the three layer make up is generally standard, several towns positioned in key valleys, on main roads and railways sport heavy bunkers and additional revetments for artillery.
Normally, these Third Line elements are maintained only by maintenance crews and are crewed only with called up reservists when hostilities are imminent.
All lines are well supplied by networks of well built roads and rail lines and most fortifications, specifically the forth layer artillery and support sections, sport AAA emplacements ranging from 20mm/60cal cannons to 40mm/60cal guns to heavy 105mm/45 cal guns.
- At Readiness Condition Green the lines are in their “Normal” Stage Zero Alert status and manned by two Fortress Divisions, one Infantry Division and their attached artillery on the Primary line with 25% of full mobile artillery in place along the forth layer. The Secondary and Tertiary lines are maintained only by skeleton maintenance and upkeep crews and sport only 5% of the full mobile artillery in the fourth layer on the Secondary Line.
- At Readiness Condition Yellow the lines are in their Stage One Alert status, guard and watch duties are increased, supplies are prepared and organized, the rail lines and roads are prepped for further mobilization and transportation and 25% more of the wartime mobile artillery is brought up to the Primarys forth layer. A further 5% is brought up to the Secondarys forth layer and prepped.
- At Readiness Condition Orange, the lines go to their Stage Two Alert status. A single Infantry Division is brought up with their attached artillery to the Primary Line, electrical systems are checked and backups prepared. Roads and rail lines are further prepared with schedules and timetables devised while several government trains are set aside for possible further mobilization. A single Reserve Army and the two+ reserve Fortress Divisions are prepped for rapid mobilization.
- At Readiness Condition Orange-Full, the lines go to a Stage Three Alert status. Two more Infantry Divisions are moved to the Primary line along with their attached artillery brining the Primary Line to full artillery capacity. The active armored train units are brought up to the line with their two 14in guns positioned in their revetments along the Primary Line’s forth layer. Two additional Reserve Armies and a Railway Division are prepped for rapid mobilization and Reserve Fortress Divisions are further prepped and called to prepare for immediate deployment to the Secondary Line at any time.
- At Readiness Condition Red, the lines go to a full Stage Four Alert status. At this point, invasion is deemed imminent and all lines are prepared to resist an attack. The Primary Line goes to full alert and switches to internal power, guns are prepared and artillery range guides and targeting maps are double checked. The Secondary Line is fully staffed and prepared with all Reserve Fortress units moved in, dug in and on internal power. Three Reserve Armies are activated and moved north to reinforce and man the Secondary and Tertiary Lines with their complete artillery compliments moved into place. Additional railway Divisions are moved to the border with their 14in guns moved up to the Primary and Secondary Lines’ forth layer revetments.
