Message log #1
I am Lieutenant Ronald Wolff and Represent the Mobile Infantry and High Command and Keep this Message Log, I am ordered by the Higher ups to observe the formation of this "Mars"...And their Weapons, Vehicles and their Military Structure....
Their Uniforms are Always in Olive Green and their Weapons are Sleeker in Designs, upon the Firing Range it turns out that they are using Optical Weapons and while given one to use it has low setting to stun the target or standard Setting that is able to pierce the Standard issue armor and there was no recoil to shoot, and there are varieties of handheld weapons such as a Plasma guns, flamers, Sniper rifles that use .50 Cal, grenade launchers that have varieties of Ammo in different situation... Upon Seeing the Heavy Weapons, the Heavy Machine Gun which they called it "Stubber" Because of the Snub nose Barrels and they have higher volume of fire and more stable and faster to cool down than our standard turrets... the autocannon is very nice to use, less recoil and able to hit light fortification because it uses High Explosive and LasCannon like the Lasguns they use has Less Recoil and they have more penetrating Power than their standard Infantry issued weaponry...

They used Chimera Intensively, and a Tank called the Leman Russ that is Practically Stuffed with Guns, and it was undergoing trials and when people are facing the tank in front most likely they will turn to minced meat due to the barrage of bullets that head in their way...
and a Walkers they called a Sentinels? They walked on 2 legs and armed with a autocannon or a Multi-laser they called it... it is very nimble and able to cross rough terrain... and decent armor from Small arms fire
I was Lucky enough to Oversee the Valkyries that Conducted a Fast Deployment Exercise in the nearby Airfield, and it was Faster than our Boats and the only downside is that they can only carry 24 men from what I looked from it...
And The Marauder Bombers were Flying Overhead, and there were Big and observing the amount of Ordinance of Training Bombs that was loaded was Staggering and they are already have 15 in the Hangers....

Land Forces Organization...
they are similar to our Command Structures.
It would seem the Squads are somewhere in the 10's to 30's depending to the specifications of their jobs and never below that...
They have a Leader called the Commissars as part of a regiment, but the people that I spoke to never said anything about these mysterious figures... As these said Figures accompanied my Tour and most of them Shut up about these people regardless good or bad...

Space Forces...
I am Tired... Why the Heck I am Lost!? I am now aboard the Newest Ship "Defiance" Luna-Class Ship that just Completed the Trial Runs and i was lost in the corridors, I nearly Gone insane and Malnourished if not for fact there are Food and Water Dispensers every 500 meters... and the Crew Managed to Find me... They seems to Forgot to give me a Map... Who Needs A Bloody Map on a Ship!? Just how Big is this Ship?! My observation is that this Branch is more than Capable... I need to request a Leave...
Addendum:
Ronald Wolff Requested a Leave that was Granted...
And Based on the Obscurity on his Reports, It would Seems that Alexander M.A.Rs Branch is more than Capable and exceeded the expectations of the Mars Requirements for the Invasion Of Klendathu... Strangely Before the Invasion Commander Alexander Requested that the Fleet, he controls needed to be Under his command not under the Fleet Command which was Granted by the Federation Council ... and During the Height of the Battle the Fleet Command Suffered Heavy Losses and was Ordered to Retreat... Alexander Ships Remained Behind and Loaded Up the Wounded and Battered Mobile Infantry... And due to the fact Alexander managed to build a Starfort in record speed on the Capital planet Of the Bugs is more of an achievement of itself... it provided a safe landing for the transport ships to load the troops for escaping and a staging ground for future invasions. High Command Decided to Put Funding for these Ships that the Martian Field, However Alexander Declined and Requested instead that the Funds should Go to the Funding of the Fleets R&D to make better Ships and they are still building under the funding of the Corporation Alexander built up, and the Battle Data Received from the MAR Fleet has proven the Insufficiency of Fleet given misinformed intelligence that nearly obliterated the fleet has started an animosity from the Fleet Command towards Intelligence... And Alexander desired no Additional Funding besides increased supply of food, which the Federation is happily obliged for such little cost... for that much firepower... and those that are worried about the Finances of Such a Fleet Calmed down and supported the extra Food Supplies needed...
