Enclave Armed Forces

Enclave Armed Forces는 전쟁 이전의 미국 정부의 그림자 정부인 엔클레이브의 군사 세력이다. 이늘은 현재 웨이스트랜드 전체에 걸쳐서 가장 기술적으로 진보한 군대로, 전쟁 이전의 무기 체계나 장비, 발전된 형태의 파워 아머, 그리고 강력하고 유용한 Vertibird VTOL(수직이착륙기) 항공기가 있다. 이들의 가장 큰 단점은 그들의 숫자로, 엔클레이브는 매우 제한된 인적자원을 보유하고 있으며, 그들의 계획을 미국 본토 전체로 확장시키는데 큰 제한이 되고 있다.

전쟁 이전

2077년 이전의 엔클레이브 군대 조직에 대해선 알려진게 많지 않으며, 심지어는 엔클레이브가 미국과 미국군 전체를 통제하고 있었기 때문에 엔클레이브군이 아예 존재하지도 않았을 거라는 추측도 가능한다. 그러나 석유 채굴소의 엔클레이브 세력은 적어도 최소한의 경비 인력 정도는 존재했었음을 시사하고 있다.

After the Great War

With the great nuclear devastation of 2077 and the subsequent collapse of the United States, Enclave members and loyalists have relocated to reinforced locations across the United States[1], with the headquarters being estabilished on the Poseidon Oil Rig. Additionally, numerous military stockpiles were commandeered, either remotely or by the evacuating Enclavers themselves, providing the organization with necessary ordnance. With extreme levels of radiation persisting on the mainland, they were forced to remain within their bases, as the regular T-51b Power Armor was unable to provide adequate protection. The EAF were steadily trained and expanded, with new equipment being developed for use in the field, including the venerable Advanced Power Armor. The Enclave begins to become involved on the mainland, operating under the radar of the emerging wasteland powers.

Overview

The EAF are a very small but powerful military force (according to the Fallout Bible, the Enclave army was composed of hundreds of soldiers). Their limited numbers (decimated further after the destruction of the Oil Rig) are offset by their unlimited access to advanced technologies - a private is usually outfitted with a suit of Advanced Power Armor and a high grade energy weapon (usually a laser or plasma rifle). They also possess the ability to project power beyond any other factions in the wastes have, thanks to their VB-02 Vertibirds. Furthermore, their numbers are augmented by an assortment of military robots at their disposal, ranging from Mr. Handy service bots to the powerful Sentry Bots. In terms of training, they are second to none, drawing from the best traditions of pre-war US Army and training their soldiers using its methods, resulting in an uniformly efficent and deadly fighting force, with the only comparable organization in this regard being the Brotherhood of Steel, and even it is inferior, as their focus on technology and xenophobia have resulted in military training eroding.

Military presence

The Enclave Main Command was located on the Poseidon Oil Rig, where the Commander-in-Chief (the President) and other high ranking officials were also located, along with the necessary support staff and a large contingent of soldiers of the regular army and elite Secret Service agents, all armed with power armor and energy weapons. The second largest base was Navarro, a pre-War Poseidon Oil refinery-turned-military base acting as waystation for Vertibirds and their primary military outpost on the mainland. It was heavily defended, with dual plasma turrets covering the perimeter and guards in advanced power armor stationed in the base and patrolling the areas around it, with deadly efficency. In addition, numerous other outposts were present across the United States, either manned or automated (such as the Raven Rock military base). Template:Fo3 After the destruction of the Oil Rig, the remaining EAF forces rallied and withdrew to the East Coast under the command of Augustus Autumn's father. Their destination was the Raven Rock military base, which was adopted as their command center.

Despite the fact that the Pacific Fleet was ordered to the Poseidon deep sea oil derrick on March 30, 2076, it is unknown, if after the War the Enclave controlled any operable US Navy warships. No sailors on the rig itself seem to indicate there are no ships currently in service.

Example units and squads

Verti-assault Teams

Arguably the most elite combat units, Vert-assault Teams are composed of crack Enclave troopers equipped with advanced power armor and heavy weaponry, described as "Usually they just go in shooting. They let someone else sift through the ashes to figure out what was going on.". These squads were the ones that raided Vault 13 and Arroyo, securing the necessary test subjects for The Project.

Enclave Patrols

One of the most deadly encounters in the wastes, Enclave Patrols are composed of three troopers in advanced power armor, usually armed with varius energy pistols or infantry support weapons such as Avenger Miniguns.

Enclave Control (EC) Company

A military company responsible for perimeter defence, a squad of which assisted the Chosen One in eliminating agent Frank Horrigan, under the command of sergeant Granite. Their members are equipped with the best and most advanced weapons available to the Enclave and are a very versatile outfit.

RHO Experiment

An experimental camp consisting of a network of turrets with the RHO chip encoded in them. The experiment focuses on the viability of a system where a single overseeing officer is deployed with a network of turrets.

Constituency Enforcement Points

A network of military checkpoints set up across the wasteland after the reactivation of Project Purity, in order to reestabilish Enclave's role as a superpower.
