Pardon me for intruding, but now might be a good time to stress the importance of asymmetric warfare and unconventional tactics in standard Caldari operation procedure. I can't tell you the amount of times back in the Legion that I've seen a small contingent of predominantly Caldari soldiers overrun a force at least five times it's size. Creativity, it seems, is the most deadly tool on the battlefield. In the regard, Caldari and Minmatar tech play pivotal rolls with each other.
I suppose you might see that is some of the more reknown Caldari units.....can't remember the last time one of my superiors was flexible enough with regulations not to cite me post op.....

What units did you serve in? I am willing to admit that my service to the State wasn't your... ehm... Typical military MO. I'm sure your average unit would stick to plans rigorously, but there are still several units in Caldari Space that thrive of clandestine operations in various forms of asymmetric warfare. The State has the smallest population of four empires, and we capitalize on efficiency. It'd only make since that we developed things like electronic support and unconventional tactics to act as a force multiplier.
Don't think I ever qualified to serve in State military units, I always got assigned to station side security ops....
I kind of slipped through the cracks a couple of years back, not that the State wants to hire people like myself to do the more prestigious work....either way it suits me just fine.

Ah, so your one of those types, eh? Jaalandei hido? Uka domakasta kulai?((Translation: You're a dissident then? Where are you from?"))
Spirits know where I hail from, its probably in my records if I were to check....one of the many corporate space stations though, that at least I can remember off the top of my head.
I'm not so much a dissident as I am one of the unlucky few who slipped through the cracks of State life.... I love the State about as much as myself, sometimes a great deal...other times not so much.
I probably could have applied for military service since I am a pure blood Civre....but then again State doesn't issue proper meds to its troopers. Sometimes the Egg is the only thing that'll take the edge off and officers tend to have issues with that. |

Its a good basic summary from an outsider...but lacks the nuances I suppose only a State soldier could describe to you. |

I think you are a pretty spot on with your broad observations of our general approach but there are some nuances you missed. For context, my family is mixed Gallente - Caldari; I've spent a bit of time curious about how each side sees each other. I did have the odd experience of an afternoon with my cousin who was a Black Eagle in the process of mustering out of active service while I was still with Ishakone Special Operations Division. Long story short, he pretty much sized up things the way you did.
I think some of the guys here picked up on the amount of cross pollination between the Minmatar and us, well particualry from those of us that hail from Ishakone arcologies. The MagSec is a good example...it's actually not a low ROF weapon. My understanding is that the R&D guys were looking to adapt the concept of the assault SMG to our rail / hybrid tech. Roughly has same ROF as a base SMG, with extended range and little more striking power. Only time I've used one was when I was still on active duty...very hard, if not impossible to find for corp usage at the moment.
You are spot on with the views on precision and range. We put a lot of emphasis on that but what can be lost sometimes is that when the situation dictates we finish the fight in close quarters we have the same mind set...laser focus on mission success and taking out targets as efficiently as possible.
All in all you've got a pretty solid take on things.
Ps...I've bumped into my cousin a few more items now that we are both mercs in Molden Heath. I'll ping him to see if he has anything to add. ((Thanks, but I thought that the Magsec was going to be based on the Breach SMG, just like the Rail Rifle is based on the Breach AR. Anyone have any idea? Last I heard Caldari weapons were Breach, Gallante Assault, Minmatar Burst and Amarr Tactical.))
(( Nope full auto stats are here http://web.ccpgamescdn.com/dust/news.control/65248/1/riflestats17.jpg )) |

Accurate slow firing full auto weapons that are slow to fire. Straight from the keyboard of CCP Remnant. ))
