TNPer
This document was created to address the various issues facing the NPA today. We are suffering from chronic inactivity, lack of direction and difficulties in recruiting. In order to resolve this issues, this white paper shall set out both the standards to be achieved, and objectives the North Pacific Army has set for itself.
Re-Structure
The NPA will be re-structured to reflect an organisation geared towards mainly peace-keeping and defending missions. Whilst this will see a reduced capability to seize and hold regions on the update, it provides the NPA with a solid foundation to defend the delegacy of TNP, as well as work both independantly and jointly, to defend and re-build invaded regions.
Rapid Response Force
The RRF shall be considered an update unit, operating to defend against regions at update, and hold the region to allow the deployment of vanguard and allied forces to re-enforce our positons.
Whilst it shall have no limit on membership, idealy, it would be compiled of teams of 10 nations, who deploy under the command of a Lieutenant. This number will require alot of work to achieve.
The RRF must also have to be able to maintain a response time of 80% in 18 hours. This will not include posted leave (which will be discussed later).
North Pacific Vanguard
The NPV mainly looks at securing regions after the initial defence, as well as deploying troops to support peace-keeping operations and re-structure efforts.
The NPV must be able to maintain a 36 hour response cycle, with 90% attendance. The NPV, like the RRF, will be organised into teams, except for being 15 nation teams, as well as including possible advisors for various facets of gameplay.
North Pacific Reserve
The NPR exist for members who cannot guarrentee a 90% attendance rate within 48 hours, and can see members spend an entire career in TNP holding the delegacy. The NPR are not required to deploy, but on larger missions, encouraged too participate.
Chain of Command
All units will come under the direct command of a Commander. There will be 1 Lieutenant as 2IC.
Also, there is oppurtunity for all ranks from Lieutenant (With 20 days seniority) or sergeant, to take staff officer roles in the fields of recruitment, intelligence, advisory or foreign placements (i.e.: FRA), to further develop their skills.
Ranks
A new rank structure will be introduced, which will have the ability to cope with both standing units, and reserves. Note: Reserves shall feature a red capital R in the Castellar font at the top of the rank slide for officers, and central, with the top of the R alligning with the points of the final chevron in other ranks.
A Colour Sergeant position is not available to reserves.

Recruiting
Recruiting is the biggest issue facing regions today, and subsequently, the biggest challenge the NPA will face in meeting its goals. As a result, 2 recruiting campaigns will be launched.
The First will target individuals on both frequently traffiked forums, and via PM, to become a member of the NPA, also targetting new members.
The Second will target those eligable for Reserve service, and will target them also via PM and frequently traffiked forums.
The NPA requires at least 15 new members to allow it to become operationally, and 25 to work at desired strength.
It is every soldiers duty to ensure this, and only together, can we overcome the challenges being faced by the NPA today!
