Soldier Selection
  • Stringent Selection Criteria: The process should focus on physical strength, mental resilience, intelligence, and problem-solving skills. Candidates would undergo medical, psychological, and physical tests.
  • Small, Specialized Unit: Given Pontesi’s small population, the unit could be limited to 200-500 highly specialized troops.
  • Diverse Specializations: The unit would include experts in fields like demolitions, sniping, combat diving, helicopter piloting, and cyber warfare.
2. Training for the Commando Unit
Physical Training
  • Endurance and Strength: Intense training in endurance, strength, and speed, including long-distance marches, mountain climbing, swimming, and obstacle courses.
  • Survival Training (SERE): Troops should learn to survive in hostile environments, camouflage, navigate without GPS, and forage for food in difficult conditions.
Combat Training
  • Hand-to-Hand Combat: Training in unarmed combat techniques such as Krav Maga, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, or Systema for close-quarters fighting.
  • Advanced Shooting Drills: Regular firearms training with assault rifles, handguns, and sniper rifles, including stress-induced shooting scenarios.

Count of soldiers per unit.

[*]Ardavir Scout Unit (Reconnaissance & Surveillance)
Number: 30-40 soldiers
This unit needs to be fast and flexible, with teams that work independently for stealth and reconnaissance missions.
[*]Vahagn Shock Troopers (Close Quarters Combat)
Number: 50-60 soldiers
As they engage in intense combat, a larger group is required for effective offensive and defensive operations in hostile zones.
[*]Zoravar Sabotage Division (Demolition & Sabotage)
Number: 25-30 soldiers
A smaller, specialized unit with teams trained in explosives and sabotage tactics.
[*]Arakel Stealth Brigade (Infiltration & Assassination)
Number: 20-25 soldiers
This unit operates in small, covert teams trained specifically for infiltration and targeted eliminations.
[*]Daron Tactical Response Team (Counterterrorism & Hostage Rescue)
Number: 40-50 soldiers
A medium-sized unit needed for quick responses to terrorist threats and hostage rescue missions, with flexibility for high-risk interventions.
[*]Navasard Cyber Warfare Unit (Cyber Operations)
Number: 15-20 specialists
A small team of highly trained cyber warfare experts to disrupt enemy systems or build defenses.
[*]Yervand Sniper Team (Long-Range Engagement)
Number: 10-15 sharpshooters
