The current DDS Army is a hotchpotch of Remedian, UNP and DDS military units and the DDS have unveiled plans for their definitive DDS Army. The basic theme behind the new force will be the Remedians and Aritans will provide the numbers while the DDS cover special forces (with their Prowler units), technical and specialist arms and a rump of manpower for base defence.
The DDS are envisaging a 5 division 100,000 strong army from their allies. The Remedians providing 4 of those divisions and the Aritans 1 while the DDS provide around 35,000 troops. The Aritans currently have a 178,000 strong army with around 360 tanks. 270 of these are T-88/89s ex-HCS sold on by the Dinos last year, the rest being ex-DDS Avenger IIs and IIIs. The DDS plan to concentrate the best Aritan troops into a 20,000 strong division with the T-88/89s as part of the DDS Army.
The Remedian part is more problematical as the Remedian army is largely a formless ill-disciplined mass of fool hardy warriors. The DDS think with training and weeding out of the worst idiots they can form an 80,000 strong professional army to be equipped with new Avenger IV tanks plus refurbished Avenger IIIs.
The DDS have approached their allies and it is known the Aritans have agreed, the Remedians have not agreed yet but they have no real choice anyway. Re-organisation of existing forces could begin in months though it may take a number of years to get the New DDS Army into any sort of shape.
