Munijoch Vanguard Force

"Rise up from the ground!"

The Munijoch Vanguard Force is Munijoch's collective military, made up of several branches, including Foreign, Homeland, Commercial, and Presidential Vanguard Forces. Each of the Forces contains an air force, navy, and army. In total, 6 million penguins serve in the MVF, with 5 million in the Foreign Vanguard Force alone.

Colonial Heritage
The Munijoch Vanguard Force can trace their heritage to the National Munian Militia, formed from the most experienced of colonists, back in the 1900s. Their weapons were primitive compared to most armies, and mostly served as a deterrent for wild animals and scavengers. In all, there were a total of 1,000 troops, each with a simple musket and knife. Through second-hand arms sales, they purchased cannons, mortars, and firework-derived missiles, mostly from the USA, who were upgrading their military and had no use for the obsolete weapons.

Prior to the WhiteBlood coup, the militia had two divisions, the Guard of the President and the Guard of the Land, with each having self-explanatory roles.

WhiteBlood era and Bolstering
When the WhiteBlood government took power, it immediately began retraining troops to defend the island. With the first graduating class of about 10,000 soldiers, each were taught guerrilla tactics and to spare no mercy to any dying soul. Their conduct was ruthless, vile, and cruel evil, eat or be eaten, kill or be killed. This made them formidable soldiers as the WhiteBloods sought to increase their power and influence over the fledgling nation, mostly through mandatory conscription and reserve registration. The weapons also began to modernize, thanks to advancements made in weapons technology and purchasing arms from allied countries, however few there were.

Over the course of the 20th century, the WhiteBlood government maintained strict control over both the size and age limit of the military, promoting the military in a patriotic light in an effort to attract people from college to serve. They also opened the military to females in the 1950s, allowing them to serve both combat and non-combat roles. Through black market dealings, the military procured planes, guns, mortars, and other military vehicles thanks to puppet accounts based in the USA and Zhou.

Military Sponsorship
In the 1980s, following a very close coup by democratic rebels, the military decided to begin investing in homegrown technologies to avoid potential embargo’s by other countries. Investors within the government focused on two promising companies, including energy research company PULSE and classic arms manufacturer Tuering. Their task was to create weaponry that either outperformed or performed as well as foreign weaponry, and to demonstrate the potential for it to be mass produced. PULSE said that a major breakthrough would take years to do, so the government gave them a timetable of 30 years to demonstrate this, while Tuering demonstrated the first nationally produced weaponry for Munijoch. The government was pleased, and began a contract to stock up on Tuering weaponry.

Revolution
In 2012, when the Malkovian Reformists began to retake Munijoch, Joseph was assigned to try and convince soldiers to join the cause to help create a democratic Munijoch. In all, however, only half a million joined from word of mouth, and things looked bleak, until he came across his old squadron in the barracks. He knew instantly from the moment that there was war with the best that Munijoch has to offer. After countless assassination missions performed by him and the team, more joined the ranks, recognizing possible defeat from the single assassination team. After they raided PULSE and forced them to manufacture weapons for them, and the final development of the PULSE Rifle, the future looked bright.

Following the successful revolution, Munijoch issued a challenge for more to join the battle to bring peace and freedom to the world, adding more troops to all combat roles within the military.

Frosian War
In the Frosian War, Munijoch put out a massive campaign, asking the country about their roots, and how they are fighters to the death, with the clear message saying "We will never die." At the end, it asked if it wanted immortality, to join the vanguard force and fight for freedom for the motherland everyone loves. The campaign was a success, and over 2 million sign up to enter the war. Following Joseph's kidnapping, however, the number spiked up to 4 million thanks to Isaac's aggressive and menacing views toward the war, calling Munijoch "a war machine." When the WhiteBlood insurgents invaded, the government asked for fighters to help combat the threat at home. In all, 500,000 joined along with the existing Homeland Vanguard Force, and successfully pushed back the threat to manageable levels.

PULSE unveiled several technological advancements, allowing the government to quickly rise in power following the war, despite casualties.

Present Day
Today, the military has 4 million members, with another 1,000,000 currently in military school on Zescore. PULSE is shifting gears to provide for Galactic Vanguard Forces, creating spaceships such as the MJ-Dark Angel as the forefront of the space conquest, as well as regional use as a show of might. PULSE has also unveiled non-lethal weapons and is beginning to update much of the military's products for today's standards.

Foreign Vanguard Force
Leader: Isaac Juggernaut

The Foreign Vanguard is the biggest and most elite squad of Munijoch's soldiers. Boasting 2 million in active service, the influence of the army spreads as far south as Valron Island, near UTR. In addition, they provide protection and upholding of international law to Axle Powers allies and Zeta Connections allies. They get all of the latest gear from PULSE, including WideWing and NarrowWing jets and bombers, as well as warships. In addition, they have 6 MJ-680 warships, which are massive airships, at their disposal. Notable figures and squadrons include Squadron E, a 10 person squad of assassins, and Agent Terror Bringer, a solo assassin sent for high-risk missions.

Homeland Vanguard Force
Leader: Johnathan Harrison

The Homeland Vanguard Force are soldiers dedicated to preserving the national security of Munijoch. Having 500,000 enlisted in the ranks, they get some of the products that PULSE offers, mainly excess that the Foreign Vanguard Force isn't using. Their headquarters are in Zescore, the City of Decimation, where large hangars and docking bays are hidden under the city, only exposed when the call of duty is active. The force is the proving ground of future Foreign Vanguard Force soldiers, of which only 5,000 will move on up in the ranks.

Commercial Vanguard Force
Leader: Henry McDowell

The Commercial Vanguard Force operates as a private security firm with soldiers available for personal and international security for the transport of cargo, passengers, or payloads, from country to country. Composed of about 10,000 members, they operate on a regional scale, mainly on ships and other transport vehicles in need of security from pirates or other thieves.

Presidential Vanguard Force
Leader: Joseph Yslenski

The Presidential Vanguard Force is a thousand member team that covers security for the President and his family when on national or foreign affairs. Commonly seen in black suits and black sun glasses, they are usually the highest grade graduates of the academy, or war veterans with decorated histories. Rumored to contain top secret weaponry that PULSE has yet to publicly reveal, they are devoted to their deaths for the President's life.

Galactic Vanguard Force
Leader: Joseph Yslenski

The Galactic Vanguard Force is a branch formed in 2015 for the occupation of the galactic front for Munijoch. To be made of 500,000 members, each of a highly decorative past, they are set for final deployment in 2017 after their training for zero-gravity combat is complete. Finally finding a use for PULSE Boots, they are to train in outer-space hand-to-hand combat, battleship tactical battle, safety procedure, and tactical swarm positions. They possess 2 MJ-Dark Angels, 10 MJ-SOL's and MJ-LUNA's, and a countless number of MJ-RAH swarmer ships.

They have synthmetal helmets with holographic tactical systems as well, alongside various pockets for storing weaponry, medical equipment, and other goods. Squadron Leaders are equipped with mass-stealth field generators for their squadron to use to engage or disengage. On their back, they have a magnetic holder for PULSE Rifles, alongside slots for mounting Tuering NUCLEO's. Their boots hold two vibroknives, as well as magnetic grip assist on both their boots and gloves. Their armor is angular as well, to reflect oncoming radar waves coming toward them, despite being rudimentary.
