The RASMOR JTF, formally known as the Nouvelle Alexandrie-Moorland Joint Training Facility, is a strategically vital military installation located in the Kingdom of Moorland. Initially established in 1721 AN as a training facility, it has evolved into one of the Raspur Pact's most significant command centers in northern Keltia following the East Keltian Collapse. Jointly operated by the Raspur Pact, the Federation of Nouvelle Alexandrie, and the Kingdom of Moorland, the facility now serves multiple critical functions including advanced military training, strategic communications interception, missile early warning, and as a forward deployment base for rapid reaction forces.
Location and Strategic Importance
The facility is situated 89 km south of Newcastle upon Eastmoor, spanning over 1,200 acres of Moorland's countryside following its 1737 AN expansion. Nestled away from densely populated areas, the facility provides a secluded environment for rigorous military exercises and sensitive intelligence operations. The area around the base is predominantly rural, providing both natural camouflage and a vast training ground.
Following the East Keltian Collapse in 1737 AN, the facility's strategic importance increased dramatically due to its proximity to affected areas. The base's location offers ideal positioning for monitoring naval and air movements across the northern regions of Keltia, with unobstructed lines of sight for its radar and communications systems. Access is ensured via the expanded M1 motorway, and its proximity to Newcastle upon Eastmoor's international airport (which underwent military upgrades in 1738 AN) provides a crucial logistical asset for rapid deployment and collaboration with Raspur Pact partner forces.
Facilities
RASMOR JTF encompasses state-of-the-art installations facilitating comprehensive military training for both the Raspur Pact and Moorland Armed Forces. Key facilities include the Combat Simulation Center, armored vehicle parks, and expansive firing ranges, each contributing to the base's ability to cover a broad range of military operations. The base also includes expansive aircraft hangars equipped with climate-controlled environments and maintenance workshops.
The facility underwent a major expansion in 1737-1740 AN following the East Keltian Collapse, with the training areas doubling in size to accommodate more complex joint exercises. The Advanced Urban Combat Training Facility was completed in 1740 AN, featuring a full-scale mock city with integrated sensor systems for detailed after-action analysis. The Maritime Operations Training Center, added in 1742 AN, includes sophisticated naval warfare simulators and amphibious assault training capabilities.
Accommodation and Support
In addition to providing barracks accommodation for instructor teams and unit formations rotating through the training area on exercises, the JTF also houses the cantonments which provides accommodation for the approximately 12,500 personnel permanently stationed at the facility as of 1744 AN, a significant increase from the original 7,200 personnel of "Task Force Vigilance". The cantonments provide comprehensive facilities such as mess halls, recreational areas, fitness centers, and health clinics, enhancing the base's readiness for swift reaction to potential threats or military requirements.
The 1741 AN infrastructure upgrade included a 1,250-bed military hospital with advanced trauma care capabilities, designed to handle casualties from potential regional conflicts. This medical facility also serves as a research center for combat medicine and field treatment protocols.
Strategic Intelligence Complex
The planned signals intelligence (SIGINT) facility mentioned in the original base design was completed in 1724 AN and underwent major expansions in 1738 AN and 1742 AN. Now known as the Strategic Intelligence Complex (SIC), this facility serves as one of the Raspur Pact's primary intelligence gathering centers in northern Keltia.
The SIC houses the Northern Keltia Integrated Intelligence Center, which combines signals intelligence, electronic warfare capabilities, and cyber operations. The facility employs over 1,500 intelligence specialists from various Raspur Pact nations, with particular emphasis on monitoring activities related to regional security concerns following the East Keltian Collapse.
Satellite Ground Station and Early Warning System
The 1739 AN addition of the Satellite Ground Station "Frost Sentinel" after the collapse of Normark represented a significant enhancement to the facility's capabilities. This extensive complex houses dozens of satellite communication terminals, data processing centers, and a comprehensive early warning system for missile launches. The station maintains continuous communication with the Raspur Pact's network of military and reconnaissance satellites, providing real-time intelligence and surveillance across northern Keltia and beyond.
The Early Warning Radar System, completed in 1740 AN, consists of advanced long-range radar installations capable of detecting missile launches and tracking aerial threats at distances exceeding 3,000 kilometers.

Post-East Keltian Collapse Role
Following the East Keltian Collapse in 1737 AN, the facility played a crucial role in coordinating the humanitarian response to the refugee crisis. The base served as a logistics hub for the distribution of aid and as a processing center for some of the 100,000 Norse refugees accepted by Nouvelle Alexandrie. A temporary Refugee Processing Center was established adjacent to the facility in 1738 AN, processing over 565,000 refugees before its decommissioning in 1741 AN.
Intelligence and Communications Hub
By 1744 AN, the facility had evolved into the Raspur Pact's primary intelligence and communications hub for northern Keltia. The Communications Intercept Center, fully operational by 1740 AN, monitors and analyzes a wide spectrum of communications across the region, providing critical intelligence to Keltia Command and other Raspur Pact entities.
The Satellite Ground Station processes data from dozens of military and reconnaissance satellites, maintaining continuous surveillance over northern Keltia and adjacent waters. This capability proved crucial during the regional instability following the East Keltian Collapse, providing early warning of potential threats and monitoring population movements.
Training Programs
RASMOR JTF offers a spectrum of training programs aimed at enhancing the interoperability of Raspur Pact and Moorland Armed Forces, promoting joint tactical exercises, leadership development, and cultural exchange programs.
The scope of training programs expanded significantly after 1737 AN, with the addition of:
- Advanced Arctic Warfare Training (established 1738 AN);
- Cyber and Electronic Warfare Program (established 1739 AN);
- Counter-Terrorism Special Operations Course (established 1740 AN);
- Joint Humanitarian Crisis Response Training (established 1741 AN);
- Regional Security Studies Program (established 1742 AN).
Exercise Phoenix Ascension
The annual Exercise Phoenix Ascension has evolved into one of the Raspur Pact's largest military exercises, with the 1743 AN iteration involving over 25,000 troops from eight member nations. The exercise now incorporates complex multi-domain operations including cyber warfare, space-based intelligence, and joint humanitarian response scenarios.
Missile Warning System
Following the East Keltian Collapse, the facility was equipped with the Integrated Missile Warning System (IMWS). This system consists of four AN/FPS-132 Advanced Early Warning Radars with a range exceeding 5,000 kilometers and a satellite-based infrared detection system. The IMWS provides continuous monitoring of regional airspace and beyond, capable of detecting and tracking ballistic missile launches, hypersonic weapons, and conventional aircraft.
Cooperation with Moorland
The RASMOR JTF is emblematic of the deepening defense relationship between Nouvelle Alexandrie and Moorland. It provides a strategic platform for the development of the Moorland Armed Forces, bolstering regional stability and fortifying the ties between the nations.
Future Developments
As of 1744 AN, several major expansion projects were underway or planned for the facility:
- Construction of an Advanced Cyber Operations Center (scheduled completion 1745 AN);
- Expansion of satellite ground station capabilities (scheduled completion 1746 AN);
- Development of a Space Domain Awareness facility (scheduled completion 1747 AN);
- Construction of a Joint Unmanned Systems Development Center (scheduled completion 1748 AN).
