Overview – E.F
The European Federation Enforcer Corps are supposedly the most technologically advanced force, using High Energy Lasers (HEL) and electronic warfare. The Enforcer Corps are mainly the peacekeepers for the EF, but when war roles around they are moved to a lethal force. Their motto is "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum" which in English means, "If you want peace, prepare for war."
The European Federation Enforcer Corps is made up of veteran elite counter-terrorist and peacekeeping forces from throughout Europe. Calm and precise, these highly-trained and experienced soldiers are especially skilled in urban warfare. They excel in electronic warfare as well as the deployment of advanced directed energy weapons technology and have the fastest battlefield vehicles. The Enforcer Corps also have access to the world's best "less than lethal" weaponry.
The Enforcer Corps currently deploys in Battlegroups, which appear to be equivalent to a Battalion. Each Battlegroup has been tailored to meet specific requirements, such as armoured and mechanized warfare or to provide airborne capabilities. There is also a battlegroup specializing in special operations. Like the UNAS, the Enforcers select their soldiers from Special Forces all-over Europe, ranging from GROM, Black Eagles, KSK, and BFST.
Infantry :
E.C Kommandos: - Being a Kommando in the Enforcer Corps is considered one of the highest honors a soldier can have in the European Military. The Enforcers Corps excel in urban and counterterrorism tactics and many of its founders and ranking officers are former Rainbow Six members.
The Enforcer Corps Kommandos includes members that come from many elite special operations groups. This variety is considered an advantage by European commanders. Kommando units are encouraged to stick with the tactics and doctrines of their original units rather than conform to one universal rule set. This means one group of Enforcers Corps Kommandos may behave and function in a manner that is radically different from another. European commanders feel that this will help keep their enemies off balance and allow for more specialized deployments. All Enforcer Corps battalions excel in urban and counterterrorist operations.
Members of the Enforcer Corps Kommandos pride themselves on their professionalism and hold themselves up to a very high standard. In a sense, they are the perfect modern-day embodiment of the medieval knight: chivalrous, brave, and steadfast in their beliefs. However, this should not be mistaken for softness they are a highly disciplined and trained fighting force with extensive experience. Enforcers Crops Kommandos are capable of carrying out their orders with chilling efficiency and are not afraid to make sacrifices for the "greater good".
The Kommandos have an emphasis on technological superiority and mobility and they are equipped with a variety of targeting assistance and visual equipment aids. Their personal firearms also appear to fire microwave enhanced rounds.
Standard Issue equipment:
Primary weapons: E3000 assault rifle with E3 laser capacitor or HAR LMG.
Secondary weapons: E60 pistol
Special: JO-2 12.7mm Sniper Rifle
E.C Grenadiers - Grenadiers use the most sophisticated technology of any engineer infantry. Their name is an homage to the grenadiers of Imperial European armies, who originally used hand-thrown grenades before escalating to hand mortars, and so on. Grenadiers in the European Enforcer Corps are highly educated, extremely intelligent, and very well equipped. What sets the EFEC apart from the SGB, NCRA, and JSF is their deployment of non-lethal weaponry and use of ballistic shields. The mentality of the Enforcer Corps is to accomplish the mission if they can avoid any unnecessary killing, so much the better. Because of the high requirements for EFEC Grenadiers, many members are a bit older than the average soldier serving in the European Federation's armed services.
Grenadiers are not as durable or powerful in a firefight when compared to their Russian and American counterparts, they are, however, unerringly precise troops, they are also more mobile than other engineer troops. Their ability to deploy self-healing minefields and the capability to restore the shield of friendly forces also make them invaluable support troops.
Standard issue equipment:
Primary Weapon: E3000C
Secondary: Armament: MP12 4.6MM submachine gun
Special: MILANA 2 missile launcher
Other: Squad Taser ballistic shield with millimeter-wave Active Denial System
Vehicles:
Panther 1A3 main battle tank - Once again, the European Federation focus on high technology and speed is evident. The Panther excels in maneuverability and yet is still a very capable weapons platform. By combining its 120mm main gun with a newly-designed automatic loading system, the Euros have made the Panther 1A3 one of the fastest-firing tanks in the world. It also uses a more robust version of the same hybrid engine that powers the AMZ-26 Badger.
The Panther is the fastest tank in the Systems Alliance and affords the European Federation considerable advantages against less mobile forces. Panthers are able to transverse into areas where they are most needed with reliable speed, making the Panther an ideal quick response force for European forces. The Panther's main gun can fire high powered microwave shells which can have a devastating effect on opponents, particularly their shields. The THEL is also a deadly close quarters defense weapon which will help the Panther shred combat drones and enemy infantry.

AMZ-26 Badger - European Federation soldiers often joke that if the AMZ-26 was provided to the British, the units operating it would run out of tea before running out of gasoline. The manufacturers of the Badger's hybrid engine point to it as the very pinnacle of hybrid power plant technology, providing both speed and power while maintaining an astonishing level of fuel efficiency. The Badger is also considerably lighter than other IFVs. Its special multipurpose TOW missile system is capable of engaging both ground and air targets (albeit at close range only for the latter).
Another unique feature brought about by high tech European engineering is the Badger's High-Powered Microwave emitter. This system has both lethal and non-lethal settings. The non-lethal setting can quickly disperse groups of infantry by inflicting an intense sensation of being burned alive while not actually causing any physical damage. The lethal setting is much more fearsome and some commanders prefer not to use it as the end results are described as "horrific".

Puma AFV- The Puma is the fastest ground vehicle in the galaxy. It is unrivaled in terms of speed or maneuverability. Its design was based on previous Israeli and Federation technology. It is designed to transport troops, unload them during high-speed assaults, and provide fire support for infantry.
The Puma is the Enforcers go-to vehicle for scouting and reconnaissance or as a vital part of any mechanized infantry unit. The Puma is able to pass through nearly any terrain and its railgun allows it to target stronger foes while being nimble. The Puma's armor, while light, is tough enough to take at least one missile or rocket head-on, though this is assuming an engineer can get a lock on it.

AMZ-50 Marksmen - Mobile artillery support is no good if all the fighting is done by the time it's put into position. As a result, the European Enforcer Corps uses the AMZ-50 Marksman self-propelled 6x6 howitzer because when it comes to speed, it is unmatched. No other artillery unit can be moved into position as quickly as the Marksman. The AMZ-50 Marksman is a second-generation wheeled howitzer truck. The concept has been used before by the Swiss, French, and South African militaries and is now fully embraced by the European Enforcer Corps. Its biggest trade-off for its speed is markedly lighter armor.
The Marksman uses a 155mm self-loading howitzer. Its fire control system is developed by a German company and is run by a sophisticated AI program. This system can calculate the location of an enemy unit faster than any other targeting computer in the world. Because wheeled vehicles are lighter than tracked ones, it was no problem for the EFEC to equip the Marksman with an electric engine thanks to its lightweight, when compared to other self-propelled howitzers, chassis. Not only that, but a series of generators are linked to the recoil action of the main gun. This means that firing the 155mm howitzer on the AMZ-50 actually helps to charge its batteries. The Marksman is the only artillery piece in the world which has this system in place.

AMZ-A2 Wolverine – Maintaining the body chassis of the Badger IFV, the Wolverine employs a series of complex panels that mimic a starship's defenses. Considered the most advanced anti-aircraft vehicle within the Alliance, the Wolverine employs a miniaturized version of the GARDIAN defense system. It consists of anti-missile and anti-fighter laser turrets on the exterior hull. Because these are under computer control, the gunnery control officer needs to do little beyond turn the system on and designate targets as hostile.

PAH-6 Cheetah - The PAH-6 is a technological wonder due to its dual hydrogen-powered turboshaft engines. It is the 2nd generation version of a line of combat gunships that were first deployed in 2133. Since then this series of attack gunship has demonstrated high lethality and survivability. The Cheetah is lighter, more energy-efficient, and more maneuverable than previous generations by a wide margin.
Europe has been at the forefront of alternative energy sources ever since 2009. As a result, units like the PAH-6 Cheetah are powered by some of the most technologically-advanced "green" engines in Alliance controlled space. What's amazing is that these "green" engines are even more effective than their fossil fuel-powered counterparts from three generations ago. However, manufacturing these engines is complex and time-consuming.
One unique feature of the Cheetah is its backup shrouded tail rotor. Not only does this reduce its acoustic signature, but it also protects the tail rotor from damage. The Cheetah is capable of a number of high agility maneuvers and can even perform a loop while equipped with a full combat load out. It features no front rotor as the gunship uses vector-thrust engines similar to those found on Mantis gunships. The Cheetah is armed with the HOT-3, an optically tracked, laser-guided missile using a tandem warhead. This reflects the EFEC's peace-keeping roots as EFEC decided to equip the PAH-6 with optically-guided missiles to minimize collateral damage.

LV-20 Charlemagne - The LV-20 can detect traps and stealth units, increase battlefield awareness, and can deploy UAVs and sentry drones. The most unique feature of the LV-20 is its armament. The Charlemagne is equipped with a Tactical High Energy Laser (THEL) rather than conventional armament and its drones are equipped with advanced directed energy weapon systems. Many consider the LV-20 to be the most advanced wheeled vehicle ever created.
The LV-20 Charlemagne allows European Enforcer Corps commanders to acquire and disseminate large amounts of battlefield data quickly and effectively. Its vast array of sensory equipment covers nearly every visible and invisible spectrum from infra-red to ultraviolet and also includes a complement of advanced audio sensors. This means that very few if any, modern stealth units are able to go by undetected when an LV-20 is around.
Instead of conventional armaments, the LV-20 is equipped with a Tactical High Energy Laser (THEL). Its power plant is the same electric engine that the AMZ-50 uses. It also has a high-capacity energy generator to power its THEL. Details on this generator are classified. All LV-20s have emergency gas-powered generators attached to the THEL for use when the primary power generator is disabled.
The Charlemagne can deploy EFEC Archer sentry drones which are equipped with the same Active Denial System and Taser systems used by EFEC Grenadiers. Its deployable UAV is an EFEC Eaglefly which has advanced optical systems for threat detection and is equipped with guided air to ground missiles. Proper use of the LV-20 can be a valuable asset when trying to achieve full spectrum dominance over enemy forces.

EB – 23 Martel: Like every other vehicle in the E.F's arsenal, the EFB-23 Martel is as fast as it is advanced. Its speed allows it to perform maneuvers unseen in other bombers and makes it harder to pinpoint. It relies on disabling a ship or severely crippling it instead of outright destroying it, allowing destroyer packs to finish the ship off. This is due to the bombers lack of durability while simultaneously being a vital asset. The thruster boosters attached to the bomber's wings further augment its speed and maneuverability.

EF-1 Hailstorm: The Enforcer's EF-1 Hailstorm is the most advanced fighter ever seen in Alliance space. Incorporating the best elements of Swedish, French, and German designs, the Hailstorm is the most agile fighter ever developed.
Its weapons are able to peel and melt through armor, allowing to them take air superiority against a greater number of enemy aircraft. It is the fastest and the most maneuverable fighter; however, it comes at a cost. The Hailstorm trades stealth and armor for speed and maneuverability and is the single most expensive fighter ever developed.

EFT- 2 Blizzard transport – It is the lightest transport shuttle ever, and it's easy to see why. The main purpose for the E.F.T –2 Blizzard was quick infiltration and quick extraction while able to endure harsh weather conditions. Since the Federation's line of vehicles are already the fastest there is, there was no point in transporting a large number of vehicles from one point to another. It is able to carry 500 metric tons of equipment and personal while the latest in technology in electronic warfare.

High Energy Laser Strike System - The most high-tech weapon in use by the European Federation Enforcer Corps military is a satellite outfitted with a revolutionary type of directed energy weapon. While most refer to this weapon as a laser, it demonstrates characteristics that have baffled UNAS, NCR, and Russian scientists. The destructive power of the EFEC laser satellite is far beyond that of any Advanced Tactical High Energy Laser. Its physical design suggests that it is some type of extremely high-powered chemical laser.
Primarily offensive in nature, with ultraviolet lasers, it is far more powerful than the GUARDIAN batteries mounted on capital ships. The High Energy Laser Strike System contains multiple redundancy fail-safes, due to a hacking attempt by the Forgotten Army terrorist group during the Middle-Eastern War. The precision of the laser demonstrates the Enforcer's commitment to minimizing collateral damage, while still being a power to be reckoned with. Each European Federation colony has hundreds of these satellites protecting their colonies.
