Military doctrine of Nouvelle Alexandrie

The military doctrine of Nouvelle Alexandrie is the body of principles that governs the employment of the Federal Forces of Nouvelle Alexandrie. Doctrine is issued under the authority of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Council through the General Staff as the Federal Doctrine publication series, and is validated by the Joint Warfare Analysis Center through war gaming and simulation. The current capstone publication, Federal Doctrine 1: Operations, was revised in 1748 AN to incorporate the lessons of the Fourth Euran War.

History

The doctrinal tradition of the Federal Forces descends from the two militaries merged at the Federation's founding. The Republic of Alduria, lacking territorial depth, pursued a policy of armed neutrality under which strategy was defensive while tactics remained offensive: if attacked, Aldurian forces were to carry the battle to the enemy's territory at the earliest opportunity. The Wechua Nation contributed a tradition of highland and austere-environment warfare developed by the officer corps of the Military Academy of Parap. Both traditions were folded into a common federal doctrine after 1685 AN, and reoriented toward coalition operations following accession to the Raspur Pact, under whose theater commands the majority of New Alexandrian forces are allocated.

The doctrine was reshaped twice between 1739 AN and 1752 AN. After the Spring Crisis of 1739, constitutional constraints on the domestic employment of the armed forces were written directly into doctrinal publications, and instruction in them was assigned to the Military Ethics and Constitutional Education Command. The recapitalization of the force under the Force 1752 initiative then drove a revision cycle to absorb the new equipment; the Escorted Vertical Envelopment doctrine, under which transport helicopters fly with autonomous escort drones, was developed in this period for the converted air assault regiments and promulgated as Federal Tactical Doctrine 48-7 in the subordinate tactical series. The related Autonomous Saturation doctrine, which substitutes mass-produced attritable systems for crewed platforms against dense air defenses, was promulgated in the same series as Federal Tactical Doctrine 51-1. The Silent Spectrum doctrine, an electronic warfare doctrine that treats the electromagnetic spectrum as a maneuver space to be held for the Federation's networked systems, followed as Federal Tactical Doctrine 55-2 and was promulgated in 1755 AN. The Distributed Sea Denial doctrine, the first of the tactical series in the naval domain, extended the same cost-exchange logic to the sea, employing attritable unmanned surface vessels to deny a maritime area to a stronger adversary; it was promulgated as Federal Tactical Doctrine 60-3 and adopted in 1759 AN. Distributed Littoral Operations, promulgated as Federal Tactical Doctrine 60-4 in 1760 AN, followed as its shore-based counterpart, governing the use of temporary Marine and naval positions in contested coastal waters and island groups.

Development and validation

Doctrinal publications are drafted by the Operations and Planning Directorate of the General Staff with the regimental corps staffs, which hold responsibility for training and doctrine within their arms. Draft doctrine is stress-tested by the Joint Warfare Analysis Center through computer simulation, tabletop exercises, and the MERIDIAN Simulation Environment before promulgation, and the strategic defense plans are validated against it. Revisions follow major operations: the 1748 AN revision of the capstone publication drew on after-action reporting from the Fourth Euran War, and a further revision is programmed under Force 1760 to cover the consolidation of the System-2 Missile Complex and the integration of the Oportian Self-Defense Forces.

Principles

Federal doctrine emphasizes combined arms operations, area defense and area denial, and maneuver in contested environments, with formations expected to fight as part of a network. In the air assault role, the Escorted Vertical Envelopment doctrine governs the employment of the converted rapid response regiments. The doctrine of the Federal Cyber Force is built on mass and resilience, sustained across domains, in preference to small elite teams. Across all domains, doctrine subordinates military action to civilian control and the constitutional order, a principle given its own chapter in the capstone publication after 1739 AN.
