| PAU Mobile Manouver Group Introduction | Back to Top |
Following the end of the Second Solar War, the Pan African Union has strengthened its associations with the FSE and ESU. The last 30 years has seen a significant modernization with much of the heavy equipment and weapon systems provided through contracts with FSE and ESU arms dealers. The PAU values the principle of flexibility in warfare and its army and paramilitary forces have developed with this very much in focus. Army organizations have been developed that enable the conduct of a wide range of operations without sacrificing basic capabilities. The Mobile Manouver Group is an example of this. Of approximately Battalion size, it is capable of extended and independent operations. The flexible Attached Support elements will often provide a tactical advantage over other fixed formations.
