MGV Forces and Orders of Battle:
California
Californian MEK forces are equipped entirely by domestic
sources, which is a policy carried over from this country's pre-glacial
predecessor the United States. California is not closely allied to any other
nation, but it does have generally good informal relations with Brasil,
Australia and the Med. States, with Brasil being the closest with some
manufacturing ties between the two countries. California also has a general
working agreement with Japan, something not enjoyed by any other planetary
governments. This is a carry-over from Japan's original exodus, when the old
United States actually used some of its dwindling resources to help Japan with
its planetary evacuation. The trade agreement at that time was that the then US
government would conduct the technology transfers to Japan in exchange for
return transfers by Japan to any surviving entity representing the general
interests of any population formerly holding US citizenship. This covered the
possibility that one or both countries and their populations faced imminent
extinction or mass migration. Hundreds of years later, the Japanese continue to
conduct regular technology transfers to the government in California, the only
surviving portion of the pre-glacial USA which continues to operate as a
cohesive political entity and which also hosts numerous individuals with
American ancestors.
Because of California's relative geographic
isolation and its carefully neutral political outlook, it has not been involved
in any recent conflicts, nor do any countries seem eager to goad the government
in San Diego into choosing sides. California's primary supplier of MEK units is
JPS.
Below is listed a general order of battle for typical Californian
MGV formations currently seeing service.
California's tech level is
