Good work.

The Navy (Marina Militare) is the oldest Service of the Kingdom of Caribia, coming from the Sea the conquerors wanted to maintain a sensible naval power (due also to the geography of the place).

Obviously the Navy needed also a kind of infantry to assault the enemy ships and fortress during the conquer age, so developed the "Fanteria di Marina" (Naval Infantry) who later became a "real" Amphibious Strike Force.
With the Amphibious Brigade is maintained also a Battalion of Ship Protection Force and Harbor Protection Force (to maintain the good old traditions ).

Also due to the environment where operates the Navy is also the main provider of the EOD service to the Armed Forces and tho the DHS.

So let start with the amphibious vehicles!

The Alligatore Family is a development of the IVECO SUPER AV, similar to the MPC requirement of the USMC the Alligatore have good survivability both on the land and in water, the unmanned turret of the ACV (Amphibious Combat Vehicle) s armed with the standard 30mm machine gun of the Dardo and the Freccia.
Able to conduct assault directly from Ship-to-Shore, the Alligatore is preferred to be carried to the shore by landing crafts such the LCAC or LCM/LCU.
Other note is that the Alligatore is a derivate of the Freccia, always from IVECO and used by the Caribia Army.
Last note, the Recovery vehicle is the only one not amphibious due to his overweight...


Also the Navy need some trucks and the Astro Family serve as in other Corp.








As many other Amphibious Forces around the World, also Caribia use the LVTP-7/AAVP-7 for the role of Ship-to-Shore the here is called the Ippopotamo (Hippopotamus).
There are 4 variants, the firsto one is the regular Troop Carrier, the second one on the right is a Command Post to be sent directly on the shore to support the landing forces, follow the Medical Carrier for bring back the hounded troops and the Recovery Vehicle that is used also as Beach Tractor for move the LCM/LCU arrived on the beach back to the sea.


As said for the Astro, also the Lince Famil,y in many of his variants, is a Standard in the Armed Forces of Caribia.






The Orso Family in the Navy count less versions than the Army, but they are used not for the Route Clearance for the convoys, but for the specific role of Bomb Disposal (EOD) in combat zones.


At least the Artillery in the Navy (obviously) is provided by the ships escorting the Expeditionary Force, but sometimes the troops need a closer support, possibly that is able to follow them in their movements, specially far from the coast line.


For the EOD role in the Country the Navy use various vehicles with their civilian designation to help the civilian operators to be inter-operable also with their military "twins".
Need to be specified that the Navy provide EOD support to Armed forces in the bases and training facilities, and to the DHS for emergency situations in case the Gendarmerie EOD Units are not available.
Sometimes the Navy EOD operate with those vehicles also outside of the Caribia territory, some Ambassy have a small EOD unit and for humanitarian missions in support to the National Guard/Red Cross and the UN.


Enjoy!!!

Sorry people, but I have forgot something really important till now...

The Personnel Transportation Logistic!!!

As all the other "second line" logistics also the PTL is under the control of the National Guard and used by all the Armed Forces of Caribia for the transfers of the troops all around Caribia.

Great work!!!

Good morning people!!!

Today I'm going to present You the last Armed Force of Caribia.

Well actually is not an Armed Force, is the COSCon aka "Comando Operazioni Speciali Congiunto", that is a sort of SOCOM of the Caribia Armed Forces.

The COSCon regroup all the Special Operation teams of Caribia under a common Command to diversificate the are of operation of the single teams that (anyway) maintain their own traditions and compositions.

The main base and Command of the COSCon is Pavilia (Eastern Command), in the base is also located the military airport with the aircraft for the Special Operations of Army and Air Force. The Navy SF are located near the city of Maglia (Norther Command) close to the Amphibious Brigade and the relative Naval Air Station.

The teams assigned to the COSCon base of Pavilia are:
- 89º Reggimento d'Assalto Paracadutisti "Nembo" (Parachutist Assault Regiment) (Army)
- 05º Stormo Incursori "Cirrus" (Raiders Wing) (Air Force)
Supported by the units in the Pavilia Joint Air Base:
- 101° Stormo Aeronautica Militare
+ AM 301° Squadrone Operazioni Speciali ( 10 MC-27J )
+ AM 331° Squadrone Operazioni Speciali ( 15 MV-22K )
+ AM 361° Squadrone C/SAR ( 10 HH-101B )
- 10° Gruppo Operazioni Speciali Aviazione Esercito
+ AE 3601° Squadrone Operazioni Speciali ( 10 UH-412K )
+ AE 3602° Squadrone Operazioni Speciali ( 10 UH-412K )
+ AE 3702° Squadriglia Collegamento ( 02 C-208A )
+ AE 3931° Squadriglia UCAV ( 10 MQ-1B )

The teams assigned to the COSCon base of Maglia are only from the Navy, and they are:
- GOST "Gruppo Operativo Speciale Tattico" (Special Tactical Operations Group) (Navy)
- GOSA "Gruppo Operativo Speciale Artificieri" (Special EOD Operations Group) (Navy)
For them the support is provided by a generous number of Special Boats and the 31° Gruppo Operazioni Anfibie Marina Militare from the Maglia NAS with 20 UH-101B that can operate from any vessel of the Navy, from the OPV to LHD and CVH.

But here the land vehicles!!!

The ATV are used by all the SOF for missions that require an insertion by helicopter.


The Volpe Family is used principally for long range patrols due to their big fuel thank and the diesel engine with very low fuel consumption.


The Veltro Family is derived from the ARIS VAT used by the Italian Federation Army, for a common vehicle to be used in combined operations.


Obviously the Lince Family have some special versions for the the SF to support them against any menace.


The Sciacallo Family is the version customized for Caribia of the British Jackal, used for "frontal" assault against enemies. As You can see there is also a version with the SPEAR mortar system for a direct support to the mission that may require it.


Last one is the Astro Family, as the US also Caribia have modified some 4x4 trucks to support the SF in their missions that require a long endurance and/or a lot of people to be carried in or out.


Have fun!!!
