Militech provides security, police, and even military
services all over Central and South America, their
main presence in the region is supporting United
States Armed Forces in the region. The
Militech Units acting in such a fashion act
independently from the U.S. forces, but in concert
with the overall mission objectives. Because of
their independence and lack of accountability to the
United States Armed forces, there have been a few reported instances of confusion
and dispute between them. In some cas es these disputes have nearly escalated to
gunplay, mostly over prisoners taken. It has
also added fuel to the fires of rumor that the CIA has
contracted Militech forces themselves to carry out
covert ops for the agencies own private agenda.
The speculation also runs high that Private
Corporations are using the confusion to contract
Militech forces to secure land and other facilities. Even before the
actual military invasion Militech troops in the region
have already been documented as taking prisoners who
ar e not identifiable on
any wanted list or any any database of insurgent activity,
most
notably land owners, native corporate heads, and
public officials. As such Militech has been
called before congress, but red tape and the confusion of the war is
slowing any proceedings to a dead stop.Unlike Lazarus, which operates in a similar capacity, Militech uniforms and armor are significantly diffe rent from that of the United States
Military, more flexible and high tech. Like
Arasaka, Militech advertises its latest and best
weapons and equipment by having its soldiers carry them into battle. The difference in weapons, gear, and armor seems to be,
for the most part, unrecognized by t he enemy, but is an easy
way for both Militech troops, and U.S. forces to tell
each other apart, which helps prevent even more
confusion over authority. Nothing a military
grunt hates more than some corporate merc barking
orders at him, and vice versa. The training and
corporate structure of Militech is similar to
Arasaka's, without the Japanese titles,and the pay
rate for all grades in 10% less. |
