The Clones are busy converting their armed forces from the HCS to the Clone Defence Forces. It is estimated that it will take over 12 months to rename and repaint everything to the new insignia and labels though some old equipment may never be renamed due to cost and the limited remaining service expected in the items in question.
The HCS name will live on however. Oojok has decreed that the GHQ of the Clone Defence Forces will remain HCS GHQ, mostly for heritage and nostalgic reasons it is thought after Oojok was lobbied by a number of senior CDF officers including a couple of remaining veterans from the original HCS. Oojok has also said that the third aircraft carrier in the CDF Navy's Cloneworld class will be named Hospital Carnage Squad. Construction of this ship has not yet begun so is not likely to be in service until 2117 at least.
