Conrad's Conquerers, Mechanized Infantry Battalion
CO: Lt. Col. Victor Boris Conrad
Conrad's Conquerers typically work for national entities, as apposed to megacorps, but its not universally true. They specialize in occupations and pacifications, they are both good at urban warfare and counter insurgencies. Well trained and equipped for there role, they come at a price. In almost every operation some one claims they violate UN procedure/human rights, but the UN has never issued any fines. Accusations against outside peace-keepers are common. As an over sized Battalion, they often are employed to patrol a small city, or section of a big city.

Required Competencies:
Automatics: Must be able to reliably get 1 success five times in a row, for three different positions, shooting at a bullseye for a penalty of -4. Characters shoot an assault rifle in SA mode, without laser or smart link.
Position Penalty Time notes Prone -5 1 minute Bulseye, Medium range, May brace Supported -6 1 minute Bulseye, Long range, may brace Sitting -4 1 minute Bulseye, short range |
Characters may qualify for other types of weapons using the same rules above, but are only Required to qualify for Automatics (assault rifle).
Navigation: Complete compass course. Seven roles with two or more successes in a row.
Physical: Run must run two miles in less than 15 minutes. See running rules in the main rule book.
Etiquette: While not tested, anyone who doesn't have Etiquette (military) will stand out, in a bad way.
Unarmed Combat: must be able to pin a person with a 6 dice pool in unarmed combat.
Specialty skills: assume that if you are a driver, they will test you on driving, etc.
These are the bare minimums, you should be able to do more than the minimum in several tests, and have aditional skills and qualifications.
Why I'm listing requirements like this: Because they test you, IE make you roll the dice. They don't care where the dice came from (training or attributes,) just that you can do the task. Assume that you can use edge on the tests, but all the shooting is tested on one day, The run and Unarmed are on another, and specialty skills, and the compass coarse are on the third.
