The International Warriors Association (Proposal)

[Xio]

The International Warriors Association

The International Warrior's Association, also known as the IWA, is a international paramilitary organisation designed to manage black operations within and outside of the nations of @Metztlitlaca, Ulfheimr (@Kromeus), and @Haruspex. The IWA was covertly founded and sponsored by the three nations (known internally as the Three Circles) as part of a growing attempt to expand their individual and group political power across Eurth. None of the nations involved have ever directly acknowledge its existence. The IWA was founded on the 14th of August 2021, although many of its squadrons can be traced back to older now-defunct paramilitary groups.

The main recruitment of members of the IWA come from ex-military personnel from the Three Circles, usually in the form of ex-soldiers that have been discharged from service or were found to possess extraordinary skills in combat, organisation, resistance to coercion, and/or few familial ties to the public. The majority of recruits, ex-soldiers, are placed into low-level units (assigned 3 number codes e.g. 425, 133, 629, etc.). Military personnel who were shown to be far more valuable and/or skilled than the average recruit are either put into the Central Command, reassigned as specialised spies and assassins, or assigned to high-level units, often labelled Task Forces (assigned 2 number codes e.g. 19, 43, 99, etc.). low-level recruits can also be promoted to high-level through their merits and skills.
Low level units are often advertised to other governments and organisations as private military groups for use ranging from military assistance to bodyguards to low-stakes task forces. High level units are designed for specific operations are often called Task Forces and are used for missions that are high stake, necessitate severe dehumanising of targets, and/or require delicacy and precision to avoid the IWA's short-term and long-term goals becoming overt.


Known Metztlitlaca-Originated Units
Task Force 19 - "Weaponised Trinity"
Weaponised Trinity are used in countries that are dominated by the differing sects of Catholicism, such as Salvia, and the Christian dominions of Metztlitlaca, for espionage and high-stake missions. '19 recruits come primarily from coastal Metztlican church orphanages from young ages.

Task Force 42 - "Fire Eaters"
Fire Eaters are an old paramilitary organisation within Metztlitlaca and have been used in the past by the government for the destruction of covert information and information on black bag missions. The Fire Eaters are considered the IWA's janitors, sweeping up the mess the others may cause.

Task Force 55 - "Bird Butchers"
Bird Butchers are used in missions where the dehumanisation of targets is necessary for the operation to be successful or where high civilian casualties are near-certain. Bird Butchers are recognised by the Metztlican government as a terrorist organisation, however very little has been done to stop them.

Task Force 97 - "Secret Jinns"
Secret Jinns are made up of Muslims within Metztlitlaca and used within Islamic nations and Metztlitlaca's Islamic dominions for espionage and high-stake missions.


Known Ulfheimr-Originated Units
Task Force 12 - "Mist Walkers"
A Wolf Cult that specialises in tracking and elimination of high profile targets or locations that require the use of stealth and intrigue.

Task Force 25 - " Mountain Crackers" 
A Boar Cult that specialises in terrain and foundational engineering either used as specialty sappers and demolitions experts or as fortification builders.

Task Force 34 - "Lead Chewers"
A Bear Cult, the Lead Chewers are not worried about becoming overt, using overwhelming firepower to strike awe, shock, and fear into the enemy. When another militia requires a distraction, '34 are the distraction.


Known Haruspex-Originated Units
None known.


Known Multinational-Originated Units
Task Force 10 - "Synchrony"
Made up of individuals within the IWA who follow an Azlo-Ulfan synchronised pagan cult, the Synchronites are well known within the IWA for their disturbing yet incredible devotion to their mixed faith, seeing one another as brothers and sisters. The Synchronites of '10 are the only Task Force to have never failed a mission - no matter the price in bullets or blood - and their top soldiers are often spoken about as the best of the best in the entire paramilitary company. This dedicated 100% success rate may also just be chalked up to that fact that Task Force 10 is very rarely used by the company, as they often become overt in missions.



Note:
If this proposal is good with the rest of the Eurth community, a formal letter by the IWA will be sent out to key leaders and high positioned governmental workers - effectively making themselves known to these particularly people who they think they could do business with in the future.

I guess a post to reaffirm if we're still doing this @Ulfheimr & @Haruspex. Along with @Ateenia and @Rhodellia as part of the Three (now Five) Circles.
Metztlitlaca would be replaced with Great Xio (ofc). If we are I can make an IIwiki article on the IWA with the information above + any other changes we'd like to make.

Also a couple questions:
1) where should the IWA headquarters be located? (Within one of our countries? Extranational territory? An island like Monarch?)
2) How involved each of our governments will be in the IWA?
3) Do we want the organisation to remain forming on the 14th of August 2021, bumping it up to the present, or somewhere in the recent past?

Personally for question 3 I think sometime in the early 2010s would make more sense. Kingdom of Xio and the Kingdom of Hōq'nuka (both within the Empire of Great Xio) would have militaries involved within the IWA, with certain soldiers or strategists being offered an opportunity to join the association. For where the HQ should be, a small island in the Oriental Ocean could work, or on the small island north-west of North Korinon.

[Haruspex]

As to the basing for the HQ, the small island mentioned to the NW of NK is fine. As for involvement, perhaps a military and diplomatic liaison active between the members. As for question 3, I'm in favor of 2010's, if nothing else, then the benefit of Xio.
