Modernizations of the XDA; As missile defense modernizations continue on, the Democratic Army is to be upgraded.

The Xsampan Democratic Army remains relatively controversial in Xsampa. There is no doubt, it is the sword and shield of the Xsampan Revolution, but it remains controversial because of the concept of militarism. It's no secret that the Bargas Chenpo brought about pacifist trends to Xsampa. After all, no one wants a war that leads to another nuclear detonation on Xsampan soil. And yet, the XDA is capable of not only preventing another Bargas Chenpo, but also ensuring that the Revolution is safeguarded against foreign threats. But how far can the XDA be funded? Too far and besides fiscal concerns, but it also risks triggering the security dilemma with our neighbours. Too little, and we risk another Red Bass War but with Xsampa being stream rolled. That is the question PAX faces, and today, PAX chose an answer. To modernize the XDA in a practical manner.

For starters, it's time to define what the goal of the XDA is. Or rather, redefine it. The goal is to defend the will of the proletariat, defend the socialist experiment, and defend the Xsampan Revolution. As per the ReStRi System, war is the last resort for any state, but it does not mean neglecting military solutions that are deemed necessary. The Democratic Army will be responsible for defending Xsampa from all foreign threats, and any threats to the Xsampan Revolution. 

Furthermore, the People's Committee of Revolutionary Defense will begin reviewing the XDA to determine what's in need of modernizing, upgrading, and what's outdated. Training methods, doctrines, technology. This review will focus on ensuring that the XDA, and all branches of it are capable. The People's Committee of Information has been specifically requested to cover this review at a later date.

And speaking of training, military academies. The RFM Initiative has shown the power of education when combined with military endeavors. That is why, the People's Committee of Revolutionary Defense will begin investing into the establishment of military academies across the country, especially in Metz-Leonid, Gramdkarpo, Namsöl, and Rindrak. Each military academy will be managed by the People's Committee of Revolutionary Defense, but work in cooperation with Local Committees to ensure proper allocation of funds, as well as ensure that these academies specialize in certain specialties, whether it be cyber defense, ground tactics, naval tactics, or radar. The People's Committee of Educational Liberation has also cooperated via offering fast tracked training programs for those with relevant educational pursuits such as engineers.

While this remains controversial because of domestic views over the military, it isn't too controversial as compared to a blanket budget increase. Xsampans, most of them at least will support this move, most likely. The ones that don't, can at the very least disagree but live with this because again, it isn't a blanket budget increase. But the public will be keeping a close eye on these developments and should public opinion sour, then it very much risks meeting an end. Whatever the case, similar to the Radar Face McRadar Initiative, it will have to produce tangible good results to last long.
