How I feel the National Guard and Coast Guard should have functioned [JUST A CONCEPT, NOT SOMETHING TO REALLY IMPLEMENT]

As most people already know, we have an infantry unit, a military police unit, an infantry training unit and a special forces unit.

We also have the Coast Guard.

Now anyone with basic military knowledge would know that the Coast makes up one of the five active branches of the United States Military and that it’s not a sub-unit of the National Guard. What I’m saying here is that it would have been more realistic to make them two separate ‘branches’. But how do you ensure the two units work together closely?

Firestone Department of Defense

Obviously overseen by a Secretary of Defense, you’d have the Army National Guard (which is what we basically are) and the Coast Guard, allowing the two to collaborate together. The two groups allied to the department would be called:

  • Firestone Army National Guard
  • Firestone Coast Guard

Both under this department.

It would ‘tighten’ jobs in the Guard as it would be harder to transfer from branch to branch. the ‘FARG’ would be under the department of the army while the Coast Guard would be under the department of the navy (in wartime), but both of those departments are under the department of defense. It would also allow the Coast Guard to have their own functioning: Own uniforms, own base (if they’re lucky), own equipment, their own training, etc.

Thoughts?

Just sounds like a lot of extra work for little gain. Things operate fine as is.

Ok time to reply.

@Rulishh Hence why I said CONCEPT. I would have thought about this into more detail if we were beginning but no, we wont need it now.

@SouthernMorality “States dont have departments”… We got multiple departments here, rip your contradicted statement. Anyway im obviously referring to an ELEMENT of the department. I could ask why its called FSP when theres only 1 county in the state.

@Straphos In the perspective of doing it now, it would be unnecessary but I feel it would have worked if it started from the beginning.

second; it’s the national guard not the state guard, since when were we a nation?

Why not get rid of Coast Guard and give it’s obligations to SCSO and DoC.

I personally find it hard to believe why Coast Guard is a thing in V2. Boats are removed from V2 and nobody goes to the lake. In real life, Coast Guards don’t even patrol the lake, they are suppose to patrol the coast or the ocean. They are more like “Pool Guards” now as I’ve been seeing them around the pool area since boats are removed. I hope in V3, boats should come back and the Coast Guard should at least have a legitimate thing to do.
