Naval Contingent

Known as the Union Federal Navy or UFN, it is the primary means of power projection and space control in the AAU's arsenal. Centered around the use of naval vessels, primarily space carrier strike groups. Their primary mission is to destroy their counterparts (IE hostile naval forces) secure the interior space of star systems, destroy orbital defenses, and blockade hostile worlds. If it becomes necessary militarily or political to take control space installations, surface targets, or even individual cities and habitats the navy has the option to employ its marine elements. Employing specialized vessels, assets, and training this force can be directly deployed onto or around selected objectives at will.

Marine Contingent

The primary surface and installation attack combatant arm of the UFF, the Union Colonial Marine Corps or UCMC is a combined arms self contained military force intended to be able to operate without the assistance of other branches of the UFF for extended periods of time. Comprised of three major elements; aerospace, infantry, and logistical/fire support an entire marine unit can be deployed as a self contained fighting unit capable of handling most threats and taking most objectives found in interstellar warfare. Personnel are a mixture of direct volunteers and selected individuals from individual state Territorial Defense Forces, training is up to four times as long on average versus UTDF standards and various neural and cybernetic implants are mandatory for service versus voluntary for the Territorials.
