	CoDominium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The point of departure of Pournelle's history is the establishment of the CoDominium, a political alliance and union between the United States of America and a revitalized USSR.
		Other habitable systems in the CoDominium have stars in the stellar classes F, G and K, which are common but dim compared to the named stars in the night sky.
		The CoDominium (CD) is a supranational alliance of the United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

	IDEOLOGY
		By the armed forces we understand the army, the navy and the air force.
		An armed Syrian populace without the guidance and discipline of Social Nationalism is a curse on Syria as the armed civil conflicts of recent years attest.
		Linking the formation of strong armed forces to a general military preparedness of the Syrian nation, implies that the armed forces envisaged are intensely linked with the nation.

		The Navy, in particular, sees what the politicans and common people of Earth do not: that Earth is headed for disaster, and their primary mission is to remove as many people from Earth as possible before the holocaust.
		Before the end, the CoDominium Fleet evacuated their families and children from Earth; they plant them at the colonies of Sparta (for the American and European families) and St. Ekaterina (for the Russian and Asian families).
		It is overthrown by the forces of the planet Sauron, who secretly engage in massive genetic engineering to create a race of perfect soldiers -- the Sauron supermen.

		By the early fall, the force in the hills was larger than the Codominium had ever needed before, but Daelda was determined that the invaders should be decisively dealt with.
		On the far side of the compound, a good-sized stream was diverted; a shallow arm of it flowed under the compound wall to fill a newly-dug pond.
		The Alliance force was already beginning to disperse around the encampment on all sides, occupying the high ground and preparing for a long campaign of attrition.

	Beyond3
		The armed forces of the Northstar Republic, recruited from all sophonts on the ringworld, founded in 945.
		The rovers are arm with the nagiraki, a 1 and 2/3 meter long pole with a paddedbutt on one end, and a 2-forked, spoonlike catcher on the other en(see picture of Remii player below).
		The purpose of game (which is broken into 3 periods of 40 minutes each separated by 2 rest periods of 10 minutes each) is to use the forked end of the nagiraki to toss the kholo (a softball-sized leather stuffed with soft foam) in the opposite team's goal.

		Forced landings in the face of potentially lethal resistance do not make sense, except against point targets or by infiltration specialists.
		Whichever armour-scale SF rules are used, they should ensure that armour is forced to remain separated except for short periods of time.
		It is unlikely a commander would want to place his forces in such a risk-laden situation: the benefit would have to be very high indeed to consider deploying such numbers.

	The Prince (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		These novels are based on the CoDominium universe in which the US and USSR joined forces against the rest of the world and started colonizing planets, mostly with convicts and welfare clients.
		However, the CoDominium itself was not very stable and could have self-destructed at any time.
		This series portrays a wide variety of military operations and tactics with units of regimental strength or less; CoDominium unit sizes are limited because of mission parameters and funding whereas mercenary unit sizes are restricted by the CoDominium laws of war.

	Informat.io on French Foreign Legion
		Successive legions were also raised to augment the French forces in the Crimean War, in the Franco-Austrian War and in Mexico.
		Units of the Legion were involved in the defense of Dien Bien Phu during the First Indochina War and lost a large number of their men in the battle.
		Science Fiction author William C. Dietz has written a future history where the Legion is now the official armed forces of the "Confederacy", a multi-species political entity.

		Involved in forcing rebels to the negotiating table in Sierra Leone and more well-known for contributing to the Angolan government’s success in forcing UNITA to accept the Lusaka Protocol in 1994, Executive Outcomes reportedly has a web of influence in Uganda, Botswana, Zambia, Ethiopia, Namibia, Lesotho and South Africa.
		EO was initially formed from these disbanded special forces and within a short period could boast having 500 military advisers and over 3000 highly-trained military personnel at its disposal.
		If you’re afraid they won’t be responsible to the people of Darfur, well, no armed force is going to be responsible to people who have nothing to offer them, whether they’re being paid by the Department of Defense, the United Nations or a mercenary organization.

		All that changes abruptly when the sorceress Sharee re-enters his life with the forces of the war-like Lord Bellicose hard on her heels - and the medieval era's most notorious antihero suddenly finds himself in the middle of events that he wanted no part of.
		As the CoDominium falls apart and the galaxy dissolves into anarchy, the planet Sparta hires John Christian Falkenberg and his mercenary legion to train its populace for war.
		But a malignant force driven by revenge and an obscene, awesome power lies within its heart - and its plan is to bring the decaying realm of the Plague God to the Border Princes in all its putrefying glory.

	Jarnsveld's Jaegers
		After the breakup of the CoDominium and the virtual depopulation of Earth, Jarnsveld's Jaegers (JJ) found its original functions more and more redundant as the local militias and national conscript army grew in size and effectiveness.
		Small, but highly trained and well-equipped, JJ was used not in conventional main force operations but as an instrument of irregular warfare.
		Forces of this type require a different ethos, a “band of brothers,” rather than “Fear your officer more than the enemy” (Frederick the Great).

		On the other hand, the RN was forced to rely on the RAF to supply airplanes and aircrews until the Fleet Air Arm was reestablished in the late 1930s.
		But to say they never had the fighting power of their US counterparts ignores the superior construction of the carriers themselves and the fact the Royal Navy had worldwide committments of which the BPJ was but a small part.
		It's the "Independent Air Force" that seems wrong, since it insists on the troop support mission but despises it (resulting in a lot of helicopter development) and relegates transport to a sideshow.

		In the USA and the USSR, this means a revival of the 20th Century rivalry and demands that the superpower alliance be dissolved.
		The armed forces are held in respect, and veterans are given land grants on various planets (KDS 54; WWI 61, 122; WWIII 61, 319).

		Most planetary systems within the Thousand Suns enjoy a high degree of autonomy, and within the limitations of the Covenant of Anarchy (mostly dealing with foreign policy, the armed forces, the justice system, and intersystem trade), are free to enact their own laws, etc..
		An Archon wields great authority, (including command of Naval forces in the area, much like colonial governors and ambassadors today), although Archons who abuse their power are sometimes overthrown by their people.

		It should be emphasized that the Taliban is not a guerilla force; it's a conventional army that fights for territory.
		Because of the poverty and the infertility of the land these tribesmen were always forced to raid the inhabitants of their territory.
		If they are forced to accept a regime in Afghanistan that is pro-India (as the Northern Alliance are) there will be a revolution, and the government that emerges on the other side will be nowhere near as moderate as the one we have today.

		If one looks at Jerry’s earlier Codominium (sounds like a cough syrup) stories, one can see a strong tendency in that direction.
		He also understands our own military history, and so is able to much more effectively use the forces he has.
		Some of the Codominium adventures of Jerry Pournelle where the individual is on a planet where civilization had been set back by war could be included in this classification.

		Well, I was planning on bring the players of my game to a planet run as a "so-called" "workers paradise." Between the bureaucrats and the taxes and the armed violent criminals (while they were forced to disarm at the SPA gate), it should be pretty fun for them.
		It's being forced to eat fau-food from the recycling system that will be a problem.
		I'm not sure what Dulinor might have done (although if forced to choose I would say stay at Capital) but I think the more problematic--and therefore more interesting--question is how the other factions would react to a Dulinor victory at Capital.
