Mexican Defence Bill 002

July, 2000
Preamble.
This Bill is a review of the current Mexican Defence Forces. Included will be the new budget, as well as redesign of the current Armed Forces. This Bill will also discuss service members and equipment quantities, as well as further advancements. This Bill will also cover the ongoing war with the Mexican Cartel Alliance.


Current Assessment I.
  1. Army - The Mexican Army consist of a total of 155,000 Active-Duty Soldiers as well as 45,000 Reserve Soldiers. 50,000 Drafted Soldiers were recently added to bolster defence with the ongoing war against the Mexican Cartel Alliance. Initial reports indicated that 2% of these drafted soldiers would continue to serve after their term of service, however new studies show that number much lower at .5%. To continue the security and stability of Mexico, the Mexican Government will increase their troop capacity numbers for the Army to 225,000 Active-Duty Soldiers and 55,000 Reservist. A budget of $3.5 Billion USD will be given to the Army to increase troop numbers and purchase modern equipment.
  2. Air Force - The Mexican Air Force consist of a total of 25,000 Active-Duty Airmen as well as 20,000 Reserve Airmen. Recently the Air Force has purchased new fighter jets from France to increase Air Supremacy over Mexican skies. This included 2 Dassault Rafales, 4 Dassault Mirage 2000N, 4 Dassault Mirage 2000D, 12 Dassault Mirage 2000-5F, and 4 Dassault Mirage 2000-5 Mark 2. While a major improvement, the Air Force is lacking mobile transportation and in-air refueling aircraft. As such a budget of $5 Billion USD will be provided to the Air Force to improve and modernize it's aircraft. The Airmen size for Active-Duty and Reserves was deemed adequate for the time being.
  3. Navy - The Mexican Navy consist of a total of 75,000 Active-Duty Sailors and 15,000 Reserve Sailors. Currently Mexico has no Logistic Support Vessels and no Mine Counter-Measure capabilities. This poses a major National Security risk. Due to limits on technology, the Mexican government will provide a budget of $4 Billion USD to the Navy to outsource production of said vessels. Further assessment shows that the while the Navy did purchase Russian aircraft for defence of the coast, it failed to purchase helicopters of various rolls. The Navy will increase its current Helicopter fleet from 79 helicopters to 98 helicopters. The current size of the Active-Duty and Reserves for the Navy has been deemed adequate for the time being. Current number of ships is as follows:
    • 1 Auxiliary Ship
    • 4 Frigates
    • 2 Missile Boats
    • 36 Patrol Vessels and other Warships
    • 27 Coastal Patrol Ships
    • 2 Amphibious Ships
    • 567 Interceptors of various types
  4. Naval Infantry - The Mexican Naval Infantry consist of a total of 25,000 Active-Duty Marines and 1,500 Reserve Marines. The Naval Infantry is the most underfunded branch of the Mexican Armed Forces; however, they are the best trained standard fighting force. Current assessment shows that they require and more mobile vehicle that can operate in shallow waters as well as on land. To assist, the Mexican Government is allocating $1.5 Billion USD to the Naval Infantry to outsource a vehicle that accommodates their needs. Assessment shows that the reserve component is too small for this fighting force, and as such an additional 3,000 personnel will be able to join, raising the number to a total of 4,500.

Suppliers II.

No changes will be made to the list of approved suppliers. These Countries being:
  1. United States
  2. Russia
  3. Spain
  4. Israel
  5. Germany
  6. France
  7. Switzerland
  8. United Kingdom
  9. Italy
  10. Sweden
  11. Brazil
  12. Denmark
  13. China
  14. Norway
  15. Finland
  16. Australia

Budget III.
The current budget sits at $14 Billion USD for this bill. The breakdown of funds is as follows:

  1. Army - $3.5 Billion USD
    • Increase troop strength to 225,000 Active-Duty and 50,000 Reserves
  2. Air Force - $5 Billion USD
    • Purchase of Transportation Aircraft
    • Purchase of Refueler Aircraft
    • Modernization of older generation planes.
  3. Navy - $4 Billion USD
    • Purchase of Logistic Support Vessels
    • Purchase of Mine Counter-Measure Vessels
    • Purchase of Helicopters to increase size from 79 to 98
  4. Naval Infantry - $1.5 Billion USD
    • Purchase of a new mobile vehicle capable of performing on land and shallow waters

New Changes IV.
  1. Mandatory Service - Once this bill is passed, mandatory service will be abolished. Previously all males from age 18 to 38 required a mandatory 1 year of service. Studies have shown that an all-volunteer force proves more effective on the battlefield.
  2. Draft - The Draft will remain in effect. However, it will now require Congressional approval to be implemented. All males are required to register for the draft no later than their 18th birthday and no sooner than their 16th birthday. Failure to do so may result in a $500,000 fine and/or 20 years in prison.
  3. Females - Females ranging from ages of 18 to 26. Females may not obtain officer ranks. Females will not be permitted into combat roles.
  4. Training - Annual training will be required for all units of every branch. This may include Domestic or International training. Prior to any deployments, units will complete the National Training Course for Deployments.

World Status V.

Due to an increase in conflicts around the world the Mexican Government will be adopting a system similar to the United States DEFCON system. Dubbed "MEXDEF" the system will allow for increased readiness. The system is as follows:
  1. MEXDEF 5 - PEACE/NO ALERTS
  2. MEXDEF 4 - HIGHTENED READINESS/ARMED FORCES ON STANDBY
  3. MEXDEF 3 - ELEVATED READINESS/ARMED FORCES MOBILIZATION
  4. MEXDEF 2 - MAX READINESS/PREPERATIONS FOR DEPLOMENT/ARMED FORCES READY TO ENGAGE
  5. MEXDEF 1 - WAR/ARMED FORCES DEPLOYED/ARMED FORCES ENGAGED
With conflicts still arising in the world and with allied nations currently engaged the MEXDEF will be set to level 4. The 1st Amphibious Reaction Force, 1st Marine Brigade and 3rd Marine Brigade are to conduct training at the National Training Course for Deployments. They will be placed on standby for deployment to Thailand to help assist Thailand in their ongoing conflict.

Cartels VI.
With ongoing conflict in Mexico, the President has activated 50,000 new drafted personnel to help combat the growing threat of the cartels. New plans will be drawn up and swift victory will be brought. All weapons will be confiscated and destroyed. All detained will undergo mass trail. With the help of our partners in the United States, anyone attempting to flee the country illegally that is a Mexican National will be detained and deported. They will be given refuge in the Green Zones. Any Foreign Nationals caught in the mix will be treated humanely and will be transported back to their country of origin. Current key objectives include Juárez, Tijuana, and Monterrey. All civilians are advised to shelter in place, they will be escorted to the Green Zone.

Conclusion VII.

$14 Billion USD will be allocated the Mexican Defence. Ongoing conflict requires new plans. See appendix V. for "MEXDEF" updates. See appendix IV. for "New Changes." Redevelopment of the Armed Forces.
