Here's chapter 1, I hope you guys will like it and have fun reading. It's a bit short but this will be made up for in future chapters so without further ado.
I do not own Girls Und Panzer
Chapter 1
"At attention!" John yelled as all of his men stood in line behind him. They were in the Saunders tank sheds in full uniform. There AOR1 camo uniform which they had all owned for the past year inscribed with their name and rank. Everyone had a symbol of a skull with knives replacing the crossbones on their side. The skull had a bush hat on with red eyes and it was smoking a cigar. Flames were coming up from behind the skull to make it look even more intimidating.
They had just landed the day before coming from San Diego where they had trained for the past three months. The past day had been spent flying over to the carrier in which they were now to preside for the rest of the year.
John Walker, the OIC of Alpha platoon had had his men train modeling the BUD/S program the SEALs used. While only his AOIC James Baker, squad leader Thomas Edwards, and assistant squad leader Joseph Murphy had combat experience aside from him everyone else was green.
The men of Alpha Platoon were put together when a Japanese school Saunders, had asked for trained infantry for the new program that had been set up in Japan. John knew that they were an experiment. A highly trained special forces unit compared to the average unit which had been formed around conventional forces like the Army and Marines.
Their sport in which there could be teams of up to 100 people with APCs, artillery, troops, and helicopters would fight against each other using modern equipment. The guns would shoot a normal round at its target except for one major difference. The round upon impact would shatter and deliver a shock of electricity. The larger the bullet or explosive the larger the shock causing the person to go unconscious.
It was dangerous and there were casualties occasionally but it was extremely popular in the US, so they continued to do it anyways. The sport was an all guys sport and no one had ever tried to change it, Shensha-Do was for girls and this game simply called W.A.R was for the boys. While the men were all extremely fit from the three months of training they still hadn't had a chance to shoot. Today was the day they would be assigned guns.
Kay was in the room looking over these boys with Naomi and Alisa behind them. She was looking at their files in front of them, when their school had asked for experienced troops she wanted combat hardened soldiers.
Not a platoon of green horns, she had heard that every other school had managed to get soldiers. They had also only received 12 people while most other schools had over 50. This isn't even beginning to mention the fact that they only had a UH-60 while one school had an attack helicopter, everyone else had at least on APC and a few pieces of artillery. She knew they were screwed and there was no chance of them accomplishing anything.

He was in charge of the men, a tall brown-haired individual. She was at least grateful their leadership was experienced but it still didn't help put her mind at ease.

His second in command was a tall, tan, white haired man and he had even less experience. Hopefully he would prove to be useful and would help them, while she wasn't in charge of their program she still didn't want them reflecting bad on their school. After she read his profile she simply stopped reading and put the files down, she had had enough of their profiles. She could see all of them in front of her, a wide range of faces. There were blondes, brunettes, two people with white hair and one with black. She knew she had to memorize their names but that would be for another day.

As she called them all out they responded with here or ready before she moved onto the next name.
"Lieutenant you may speak now." Kay ordered before John walked up to her with a puzzled look. They had only just met inside this building a minute ago and she had only found out about their existence earlier that day. Why the school had kept it a secret from her she wasn't sure but she didn't like it. She did have to admit though that they did look good with their toned bodies and tight uniforms.
"Well it is a pleasure to meet you Commander. Men, today as you know you are all being assigned your weapons. You will take care of these with your life and nothing shall happen to them. If they break for a reason that is your fault then you buy a new one and trust me these aren't cheap." John explained causing the men to stand even taller. They were extremely excited and had been waiting for this for the past few months.
James walked up to a stand before connecting a computer to a TV in the front of the room. After a few seconds of scrolling he pulled up a PowerPoint with the words Alpha Platoon on the front.
"Now these guns were given by donors from multiple groups. We had the SEALs give us a few guns as well as some companies trying to show off their equipment. The names of these guns are famous and well known while some have never been heard of by the general populace. As you all know we are a special forces platoon and we have been given the best of the best in terms of equipment." James said scrolling through pictures of the different sponsors.
Up on the screen came each soldiers individual name as well as the equipment that they would be using in terms of guns.

Everything was clearly standardized by the people providing for them. While most groups might have an M16 or M4 they had weapons of a higher quality further illustrating their view as Special Forces. Kay had no idea what these weapons were but the boys' eyes lit up when they saw them so it had to be good.

Upon seeing his name Owen rubbed his shoulder, he knew that the 50 kicked a lot so his shoulder was going to be sore. He would take it and since his gun would be used against APCs he was critical to the team.

The two pilots had gotten the more compact weapons in case they were ever shot down. They knew if they were shot down they could be interrogated, a difference between their sport and Shensha-Do. There were barely any rules and as long as you weren't caught anything went so everyone was trained to resist interrogation or make sure they could be captured.
This finished off the list, everyone had an assignment to do from clearing houses, sniping, to vehicle destruction. Over the next week they would prepare for the season to start. There was a week and a half before their first match, plenty of time to train assuming there wasn't a practice match.
Just from looking at the assignments however the boys could tell their importance, there was at least a million dollars invested into them. They had been given a UH-60 helicopter which was fully equipped ready to fly at a moment's notice. The boys would not let anyone else touch their equipment or else something might happen and they would have to fix it
"Alright then, now that you all see your equipment proceed to the building across the field. I shall print this poster out and were going to pin it up on the wall, the entire building has been minorly set up so anything we want to add will be done tomorrow." James explained before everyone in the room got up and walked out.
Kay was watching this entire thing with the other girls and they didn't know what to make of it. This was completely different from Shensha-Do so they would have to ask later. She still didn't have much hope in them even though they had talked about the amount of money invested into them.
As they walked across the field to the building they noticed it was pitch black outside aside from the lights illuminating the path. They had arrived with some sunlight before being quickly moved into the sheds being separated from their bags.
As they all walked in they saw an American Flag hanging up on the far wall with speakers in the corners. Lockers lined up each side with names written on them, there were toilets and showers in the back. They all looked around before John walked to the back of the room gaining everyone's attention.
"Ok now since none of the guns are loaded with ammo and most of you only have basic shooting experience I will allow you to only hold the guns. Tomorrow we're going to start having fun." He said before opening his locker and pulling out his MK17. Its desert pattern was a nice color and he loved it for that.
He quickly placed the gun against his shoulder while keeping it aimed at the floor. Everyone else did the same thing examining their gun and its sights. One could tell by the look in their eyes that they all fell in love the moment they saw them. Their equipment including knives, backpack, NVGs, helmets, and armor were still in the locker but they wouldn't be taking them out tonight. Their equipment was state of the art and their body armor would take away some of the shock.
They may have been overpowered in terms of equipment but were lacking majorly on size and skill. This would have to be made up and they all knew there would be things they would want to change regarding their equipment. They could however try and build up a reputation so large it would scare their enemies. He thought to himself that they should wear skull masks like the SEALs. It worked for the SEALs and it should work for them.
"After our first 2 matches you can apply modifications to your gun which will be acquired upon request." James explained seeing as this was common practice at all schools he figured it should be practice here and when John didn't protest he knew he was right. A 40mm grenade launcher would usually work wonders and they all wanted one.
"Kay can you please arrange a friendly between us and another school that we are on good terms with, preferably by the end of this week." John asked to which she nodded before opening her mouth.
"Only a week of practice though, that doesn't seem like enough to get good enough to fight a well-trained school." She said with a confused look which was only supported by the two girls behind her.
"I know but I would prefer to have as much practice as possible before the season starts, plus it will be an opportunity work on tactics." He explained to which she nodded before walking outside the building back towards her dorm followed by Naomi and Alisa.
"Ok now since it's late I want everyone to head back to our assigned dorm which is attached to the back of this building through this door." John said as he walked in through a door in the back revealing their rooms. Each one had a hammock posted on the wall with a drawer. The rooms weren't very big but there was just enough room for them all. They also each had a desk and enough wall space to put up what they would want.
John thought to himself he would add a poster of guns, sights, and explosives and he recommended everyone else do the same. The more they all knew, the better they could be prepared for what would face them in the future. He had promised himself when they had been formed that they would become the best platoon in the world.
They had trained every single day, worked every single muscle for hours on end with minor rest and none of them had dropped out. Even the two pilots which had been given to them halfway through the program began to work out with them showing their dedication.
John then turned on the speakers which lined the rooms and connected them to his phone. He scrolled for a few minutes through his songs before finally deciding on something, Freaks by Timmy Trumpet. He heard a few cheers as the music started and the bass kicked in. His roommate was James and they both had gotten along nicely, they would need to.
"Nice song choice man, you still got it!" James joked before putting all of his clothes away.
"Thanks, I try." John responded before walking towards the shower. They would need to sleep; tomorrow practice would start early. He had been given maps of the carrier and passed them out. They would wake up and after a quick 3 mile run walk over to the shooting range that had been hastily constructed.
After finishing everything he had to do for the night he walked around and told everyone to get some sleep. Multiple songs had passed by this point and it was getting late, so he turned his phone off. As he got into his hammock his eyes slowly closed and his mind slowly drifted into darkness. He knew he needed to inspire fear in the enemies but how would he do it? He knew they had a lot of work ahead of them this year and they needed to be ready for anything.
Alright, that was the first chapter. Sorry if you don't like it the next ones will be much better seeing as I'm terrible at first introductions. Any questions about the soldiers or their equipment please ask.
For any of you who wish to read the specs on the equipment being used please use this website without the spaces of course.
