Political Map
XO Comments: We're in Matabeland North, by the boarder. Ain't many people here, so we can stay under the radar easier. Not much money here either.
Climate Map
XO Remarks: It's hot as balls, and it's like that for most of the country. Some areas are hot as balls and humid too. Joy. Not much jungle in the traditional sense of the word, though, which certainly helps.
Food Map
XO Remarks: We could build a lot of goodwill if we could get food production up in this region, and getting the locals to fight for their bellies is easy.
Disease Map
XO Remarks: Odds are we're gonna atrition units to disease, and badly. We've got good staff here, so the base officers aught to be fine. Better warn the mercs, though.

War Pigs
Commanded by Major Aucion Lebre, the War Pigs are a two-company formation with their own support assets, heavy weapons, and vehicles. Capable of being rolled off a plane and into a combat or peacekeeping operation, these soldiers of fortune are smart, brave, and well trained in fieldcraft. Their main lacking, if any can be found, is the exorbitant cost for their relatively large support structure, which is sometimes refereed to as a silent company in the organization.
Personal Note: Lebre owes me three hundred dollars in poker money, but his boys are good as gold. Trick is making sure they earn their fee- anything short of Barbarossa is their idea of fun.
Pascal Group
Commanded by Marquis Duval Savoriste, the Pascal Group is an amorphous group of salvaged soldiers and vagabonds from Tunis and Algeria, who are frequently used in more manpower-dense and subtlty-light situations. Without standard equipment, vehicles, or training, this group may contain as many child soldiers and prostitutes as it does able-bodied fighters. Their only saving grace is the fact they will fight at literally a dollar a man a day, and most of them consider that good pay.
Personal Note: Don't trust them as far as you can throw them- maybe Duval will finally catch a bullet, or I might need to put one there myself. They'll fight like lions, though, as long as they can't run home.
Los Abrejos
Commanded by Tomas San Angles, Los Abrejos is a group of ex-Contra soldiers from Guatamala and El Salvador who went into violence as a career when the war went up. Poorly armed, these units have little supply and little issue with that. Well trained, experianced, and with camaraderie to spare, the only issues with this unit are a total language barrier and a need to provide most of the equipment that isn't boots and guns.
Personal Note: Don't ask these guys to do any shady shit, but they'll die before they run. San Angles is damn good, even if he is a kid, and they'd make decent trainers in a pinch. Paying for their gear will be a pain in the ass though.
Tasver Group
Ex-Yugoslavs, the Tasver Group is technically a telecomunications company that owns and operates six Hind-B helicopters. This is bullshit. They're mostly what's left of Arkan's Tigers, rebranded and herded out of the country so they don't make too much noise where the boss can see. All six of their birds are equiped with mounts to turn them into gunships, and the ground crews are armed to the teeth in case the airstrip gets assaulted.
Personal Note: They can work off a grass strip, but sorte effiency will be garbage. The fact they can haul a fast response force is good though.
Gemini Group
Commanded by Colonel Vercio Luives, the Gemini Group is composed of several dozen Poles and other Eastern Bloc pilots and soldiers put out of work through the collapse of the Soviet Union. While they can't fly combat missions, of their 14 Bell 205's, there's two heli-ambulance platforms, two cargo movers, and the rest are set for regular troop deployment. They claim to be good, but their track record is short.
Personal Note: Big Boss recommends them, and he's got good taste.
