===Earth Federation Ground Force (E.F.G.F.)=== |
===Earth Federation Ground Force (E.F.G.F.)=== |
||
+ | Also known as the '''Earth Federation Army''' (E.F. Army). Prior to the One Year War, the command of the Earth Federation Ground Force was highly centralized. All important decisions, such as staff management and supplies distribution, were all managed by the general headquarters at Jaburo. However, when Zeon invaded Earth, their use of Minovsky Particles rendered the Federation's communication lines unusable, causing many units to be isolated and destroyed.<ref>MSV-R:The Return of Johnny Ridden, chapter 10</ref> |
||
− | Also known as the '''Earth Federation Army'''. The Army was the most poorly-equipped of all the EFF branches, possessing outdated weaponry and personnel equipment. The army was caught completely by surprise when the Zeon launched their drop operation for control of the earth and subsequently spent most of the time between February and August UC 0079 in disarray and retreat. Due to the near-destruction of all Earth Federation branches by the Zeon offensive, the mostly-intact Army was given dominant control over the maintenance of the Earth Federation. Added to this, the success of [[General Revil]]'s V-plan, the addition of mobile suits like the [[RGM-79(G) GM Ground Type]], and with the success of [[Odessa|Operation Odessa]] gave the army unprecedented power within the Federation and becomes a force to be both respected and reckoned with. In the U.C. 0080s, the [[Titans]] branch took over the helm of the regular army; however, with the subsequent disbandment of the Titans after the [[Gryps Conflict]], the Federal Forces were reorganized. |
||
+ | With Minovsky Particles restricting combat to within visual range, the EFGF's main battle tank, the [[Type 61 Tank]] quickly proved unable to match Zeon's mobile suits, with its advanced data link system and electronics rendered ineffective.<ref>MS Igloo - Mission Complete, p.97</ref> As the development of mobile suits was difficult in the short term, the EFGF developed a stop-gap measure: the [[M-101A3 Regina]], an Anti-Mobile Suit Missile (AMSM) designed to be carried and used by specialist squads known as Anti-MS Squads.<ref>MS Igloo - Mission Complete, p.81</ref> Though their casualty rates were high, they were able to buy valuable time for friendly units to retreat and regroup.<ref>UC Hardgraph Series No.4 E.F.G.F. Anti MS Squad Set instruction manual</ref> |
||
− | The EFGF maintains a force of 120 million troops at all times— except during the One Year War, when its force count was higher. The Army was also the only branch that operated on Earth and in space, despite the Earth Federation possessing a separate Space Force. |
||
+ | As Zeon controlled territory continued to expand, the Earth Federation Forces began development of the [[RX-79[G] Gundam Ground Type]], with the EFGF leading the development.<ref>HGUC Gundam Ground Type Revive instruction manual</ref> The Gundam Ground Type was constructed in very limited numbers and deployed to regions close to Zeon territory in order to check their aggression.<ref>Master Grade Gundam Ground Type instruction manual</ref> Later, the [[RGM-79[G] GM Ground Type]], a simplified version of the Gundam Ground Type, was also developed.<ref>HGUC GM Ground Type instruction manual</ref> In July, U.C. 0079, the Earth Federation Forces Far Eastern Army created the 1st Mechanized Composite Battalion (commonly known as "Kojima Batallion"), its first mobile suit-equipped battalion.<ref name="EFGF08MS">UC Hardgraph Series No.3 E.F.G.F. MS[G] Platoon Briefing Set instruction manual</ref> |
||
− | ===Earth Federation Naval Force (E.F.N.F.)=== |
||
− | Also known as the '''Earth Federation Navy'''. The Navy was a major power in the Earth Federation, and possessed several bases on the coast of California, collectively known as the California Base. The Federation's navy took heavy casualties following the failed [[Operation British|colony drop]] during the One Year War, and when the Zeon seized the twenty large bases on the California coast in the Earth invasion, they converted the facilities to build Zeon [[Jukon-class]] submarines. Although the California Base was recaptured by Federation Forces in the dying weeks of the One Year War, and the Federation regained control of the seas, the navy was a shadow of its former glory. Ships in the Federation's navy include gunboats and a [[Himalaya-Class]] aircraft carrier, but the total number of ships and their types are not known. |
||
+ | Having decided that a specialized vehicle would be necessary to support its mobile suits, the EFGF developed the [[Hover Truck|M353A4 Bloodhound]], a hover vehicle equipped with an underground sonar, capable of detecting nearby enemies based on the sound they make. The Kojima Battalion received priority deployment of these vehicles, with each MS Team receiving one vehicle.<ref name="EFGF08MS"/> |
||
− | Naval officers were the best trained soldiers in the Earth Federation at the dawn of the space colonization era, and hence would become the model that the Earth Federation would turn to when they created the Earth Federation Space Force. The Navy also includes a small and lesser known '''Earth Federation Marine Corps'''. |
||
+ | The EFGF also made use of large land battleships, such as the [[Big Tray-class]], which served as mobile command centers for commanding officers, and the [[Heavy Fork-class]], which was designed to provide fire support.<ref>MS Igloo - Mission Complete, p.106</ref> Many of these land battleships participated in [[Operation Odessa]]. |
||
− | ===Earth Federation Air Force (E.F.A.F.)=== |
||
+ | |||
− | Little is known about the Earth Federation Air Force, other than the fact that they do exist and did participate in several air-to-air and ground campaigns. The group has several powerful bombers created from core booster pieces left over from Project V. However, those pieces of equipment were rare. Much like the Ground Force, most of the EFAF's aircraft and equipment was outdated and are not suited for combat under the influence of Minovsky particles. The EFAF aircraft do not have enough fire power to destroy mobile suits due to the guided missiles becoming partly useless under Minovsky particles, however, mobile suits can hardly shoot down fast flying planes and thus the EFAF seldom encountered them. Their main mission during the One Year War was to intercept Zeon atmospheric entry vehicles with their High altitude fighter [[FF-3 Saberfish]] (an atmospheric version of the [[FF-S3 Saberfish]] which was used by the EFSF). |
||
+ | ===Earth Federation Navy=== |
||
+ | Even before the outbreak of the One Year War, the EFF's naval forces were extremely weak and mostly consisted of obsolete ships, most of which were destroyed by Operation British. It received yet another major blow when Zeon forces captured [[California Base]] in February, U.C. 0079.<ref name="Strat92">MS Encyclopedia NO.15 - Strategy Encyclopedia, p.92</ref> A major naval base with submarine production capabilities, California Base housed dozens of submarines in working condition. Due to Zeon's swift attack, Federation forces were not able to destroy them in time, and all of them were captured, allowing Zeon to form its own submarine fleets.<ref>MS Encyclopedia NO.15 - Strategy Encyclopedia, p.88</ref> |
||
+ | |||
+ | Since the EFF prioritized the production of spaceships, the navy was slow to replenish its strength. Due to the persistent threat of Zeon submarine fleets, its main focus was anti-submarine warfare, with [[Himalaya-class (MSG)|Himalaya-class]] anti-sub light aircraft carriers and [[Don Escargot]] anti-sub attack craft continuously in production. However, their numbers were too few, and Zeon retained command of the sea for most of the war.<ref name="Strat92"/> |
||
+ | |||
+ | In order to counter Zeon's aquatic mobile suits, the Federation developed the [[RAG-79 Aqua GM]]. During the One Year War, its performance proved inferior to its Zeon counterparts. However, it would continue to be used long after the end of the war, since the low priority of aquatic mobile suits precluded the development of any successor unit.<ref>Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn - Mechanics & World - ep 4-6, p.56</ref> Following the war, the Federation developed another aquatic mobile suit, the [[RMS-192M Zaku Mariner]], based on the captured [[MS-06M Zaku Marine Type]]. However, during the [[First Neo Zeon War]], it was captured and used by [[Neo Zeon]] instead. |
||
+ | |||
+ | After the end of the One Year War, the Federation Navy was rebuilt. Realizing that it would cease to exist if it no longer has any enemies to fight, it began ignoring any Zeon remnants still operating in the ocean around the time of the [[Gryps Conflict]], and even secretly provided funds to them to ensure their continued existence.<ref>MSV-R:The Return of Johnny Ridden, chapter 37</ref> |
||
+ | |||
+ | The Federation would not develop any further aquatic mobile suit until the [[F90M Gundam F90 Marine Type]], which rolled out in U.C. 0111.<ref>Mobile Suit Gundam Silhouette Formula - MS Handbook</ref> Even though its performance was considered excellent, it was never refined into a mass-production version, since the Earth Federation government did not believe that conflicts would ever erupt on Earth again.<ref>B-Club Vol. 67</ref> |
||
+ | |||
+ | ===Earth Federation Air Force=== |
||
+ | In the U.C. 0050s, as the Federation began expanding its military might to space, the purview of the air force also expanded to space. As such, the Federation began developing space fighters (such as the [[FF-S3 Saberfish]]), high-altitude fighters (such as the [[FF-6 TIN Cod]]), and eventually, general-purpose fighters that can function both in space and on Earth (such as the [[FF-4 Toriares]]).<ref>MS Encyclopedia NO.01, p.72</ref> |
||
+ | |||
+ | During Zeon's first landing operation in February, U.C. 0079, the Federation Air Force scrambled to intercept Zeon [[HLV]]s. However, since Zeon's space fleet dispersed Minovsky Particles at maximum density in the orbit, guided missiles were rendered unusable, and high-altitude fighters were unable to correctly predict the trajectories of the HLVs. In the end, of the over 400 HLVs launched during the operation, only 32 were shot down.<ref>MS Encyclopedia NO.15 - Strategy Encyclopedia, p.61</ref> |
||
+ | |||
+ | Being a colony-based nation, the Federation believed that Zeon's air force would not be a threat to their own. However, due to the use of Minovsky Particles, aerial battles devolved back into WWII-era dog fights, allowing even Zeon's aerodynamically dubious [[DFA-03 Dopp]] fighters to fight on equal footing with the Federation's fighters.<ref>MS Encyclopedia NO.14 - Mechanic Encyclopedia, p.4-5</ref> Meanwhile, many of the Federation Air Force's weapons were rendered useless: the [[AF-01 Mongoose]], a ground attack plane designed for destroying stationary targets and tanks, proved ineffective against the agile mobile suits;<ref>Mobile Suit Variation 3 - Federation Edition, p.106</ref> the [[Dish]], an AWACS aircraft, was of limited use under Minovsky Particle interference and was relegated to being a VIP transport.<ref>Mobile Suit Gundam - Ship & Aerospace Plane Encyclopedia - Revised Edition, p.89</ref> |
||
+ | |||
+ | Despite all of the difficulties, the Federation Air Force fought valiantly against the Zeon forces during the initial stages of the war, as mobile suits lacked flight capabilities and were vulnerable to aerial attacks.<ref>Mobile Suit Gundam - Ship & Aerospace Plane Encyclopedia - Revised Edition, p.83</ref> However, since Zeon landed on multiple continents at once, they were spread thin and unable to hold the line on their own.<ref>MS Encyclopedia NO.15 - Strategy Encyclopedia, p.62</ref> |
||
+ | |||
+ | As the tides of war shifted, however, the Federation launched [[Operation Odessa]], the largest Federation counteroffensive during the war, in November. Knowing that Zeon lacked air power, the Federation scrambled every aircraft available, totalling approximately six thousand aircraft.<ref>Mobile Suit Gundam - Ship & Aerospace Plane Encyclopedia - Revised Edition, p.84</ref> During the battle, Federation pilot [[Texan Dmitri]] distinguished himself by shooting down 34 enemy craft, and would go on to become one of the top aces in the Earth Sphere.<ref>Mobile Suit Gundam - Ship & Aerospace Plane Encyclopedia - Revised Edition, p.86</ref> |

By the 0010s, the Federation recognized the growing need for an armed service branch that can deal with the major land wars that had been plaguing earth's surface for the past 70 years; a problem which initially warranted the creation of the Earth Federation government to begin with, as well as to counter any threats from separatist from inside the colonies who wished to cause havoc. The Earth Federation Forces (EFF) was formally established in U.C. 0020, and organized into four groups: the Ground Force, which handled all military matters on the Earth's surface; the Air Force, tasked with providing air cover for ground forces and air superiority during land operations; the Naval Force, in charge of providing sea-based cover for all other EFF branches, and to counter any and all threats on the Earth's seas; and the Space Force, operating in and providing power projection from Earth orbit and space.
Until U.C. 0087, the military central command for the Earth Federation Forces was Jaburo, a large, heavily fortified underground base located around the Amazon river. During the One Year War, the base was the target of many attacks by the Principality of Zeon, including the Operation British colony drop and a decisive battle at which the remaining bulk of Zeon's Earth Attack Force made their final attempt to destroy Jaburo. Throughout the Universal Century, the Space Force operated from their headquarters at Luna II.
Branches
Earth Federation Ground Force (E.F.G.F.)
Also known as the Earth Federation Army (E.F. Army). Prior to the One Year War, the command of the Earth Federation Ground Force was highly centralized. All important decisions, such as staff management and supplies distribution, were all managed by the general headquarters at Jaburo. However, when Zeon invaded Earth, their use of Minovsky Particles rendered the Federation's communication lines unusable, causing many units to be isolated and destroyed.[1]
With Minovsky Particles restricting combat to within visual range, the EFGF's main battle tank, the Type 61 Tank quickly proved unable to match Zeon's mobile suits, with its advanced data link system and electronics rendered ineffective.[2] As the development of mobile suits was difficult in the short term, the EFGF developed a stop-gap measure: the M-101A3 Regina, an Anti-Mobile Suit Missile (AMSM) designed to be carried and used by specialist squads known as Anti-MS Squads.[3] Though their casualty rates were high, they were able to buy valuable time for friendly units to retreat and regroup.[4]
As Zeon controlled territory continued to expand, the Earth Federation Forces began development of the RX-79[G] Gundam Ground Type, with the EFGF leading the development.[5] The Gundam Ground Type was constructed in very limited numbers and deployed to regions close to Zeon territory in order to check their aggression.[6] Later, the RGM-79[G] GM Ground Type, a simplified version of the Gundam Ground Type, was also developed.[7] In July, U.C. 0079, the Earth Federation Forces Far Eastern Army created the 1st Mechanized Composite Battalion (commonly known as "Kojima Batallion"), its first mobile suit-equipped battalion.[8]
Having decided that a specialized vehicle would be necessary to support its mobile suits, the EFGF developed the M353A4 Bloodhound, a hover vehicle equipped with an underground sonar, capable of detecting nearby enemies based on the sound they make. The Kojima Battalion received priority deployment of these vehicles, with each MS Team receiving one vehicle.[8]
The EFGF also made use of large land battleships, such as the Big Tray-class, which served as mobile command centers for commanding officers, and the Heavy Fork-class, which was designed to provide fire support.[9] Many of these land battleships participated in Operation Odessa.
Even before the outbreak of the One Year War, the EFF's naval forces were extremely weak and mostly consisted of obsolete ships, most of which were destroyed by Operation British. It received yet another major blow when Zeon forces captured California Base in February, U.C. 0079.[10] A major naval base with submarine production capabilities, California Base housed dozens of submarines in working condition. Due to Zeon's swift attack, Federation forces were not able to destroy them in time, and all of them were captured, allowing Zeon to form its own submarine fleets.[11]
Since the EFF prioritized the production of spaceships, the navy was slow to replenish its strength. Due to the persistent threat of Zeon submarine fleets, its main focus was anti-submarine warfare, with Himalaya-class anti-sub light aircraft carriers and Don Escargot anti-sub attack craft continuously in production. However, their numbers were too few, and Zeon retained command of the sea for most of the war.[10]
In order to counter Zeon's aquatic mobile suits, the Federation developed the RAG-79 Aqua GM. During the One Year War, its performance proved inferior to its Zeon counterparts. However, it would continue to be used long after the end of the war, since the low priority of aquatic mobile suits precluded the development of any successor unit.[12] Following the war, the Federation developed another aquatic mobile suit, the RMS-192M Zaku Mariner, based on the captured MS-06M Zaku Marine Type. However, during the First Neo Zeon War, it was captured and used by Neo Zeon instead.
After the end of the One Year War, the Federation Navy was rebuilt. Realizing that it would cease to exist if it no longer has any enemies to fight, it began ignoring any Zeon remnants still operating in the ocean around the time of the Gryps Conflict, and even secretly provided funds to them to ensure their continued existence.[13]
The Federation would not develop any further aquatic mobile suit until the F90M Gundam F90 Marine Type, which rolled out in U.C. 0111.[14] Even though its performance was considered excellent, it was never refined into a mass-production version, since the Earth Federation government did not believe that conflicts would ever erupt on Earth again.[15]
Earth Federation Air Force
In the U.C. 0050s, as the Federation began expanding its military might to space, the purview of the air force also expanded to space. As such, the Federation began developing space fighters (such as the FF-S3 Saberfish), high-altitude fighters (such as the FF-6 TIN Cod), and eventually, general-purpose fighters that can function both in space and on Earth (such as the FF-4 Toriares).[16]
During Zeon's first landing operation in February, U.C. 0079, the Federation Air Force scrambled to intercept Zeon HLVs. However, since Zeon's space fleet dispersed Minovsky Particles at maximum density in the orbit, guided missiles were rendered unusable, and high-altitude fighters were unable to correctly predict the trajectories of the HLVs. In the end, of the over 400 HLVs launched during the operation, only 32 were shot down.[17]
Being a colony-based nation, the Federation believed that Zeon's air force would not be a threat to their own. However, due to the use of Minovsky Particles, aerial battles devolved back into WWII-era dog fights, allowing even Zeon's aerodynamically dubious DFA-03 Dopp fighters to fight on equal footing with the Federation's fighters.[18] Meanwhile, many of the Federation Air Force's weapons were rendered useless: the AF-01 Mongoose, a ground attack plane designed for destroying stationary targets and tanks, proved ineffective against the agile mobile suits;[19] the Dish, an AWACS aircraft, was of limited use under Minovsky Particle interference and was relegated to being a VIP transport.[20]
Despite all of the difficulties, the Federation Air Force fought valiantly against the Zeon forces during the initial stages of the war, as mobile suits lacked flight capabilities and were vulnerable to aerial attacks.[21] However, since Zeon landed on multiple continents at once, they were spread thin and unable to hold the line on their own.[22]
As the tides of war shifted, however, the Federation launched Operation Odessa, the largest Federation counteroffensive during the war, in November. Knowing that Zeon lacked air power, the Federation scrambled every aircraft available, totalling approximately six thousand aircraft.[23] During the battle, Federation pilot Texan Dmitri distinguished himself by shooting down 34 enemy craft, and would go on to become one of the top aces in the Earth Sphere.[24]
Earth Federation Space Force (E.F.S.F.)
The EFSF was created to counter the perceived military threat from the then-Republic of Zeon, which had broken away from the Federation and declared independence. Before the One Year War this branch was listed under the other three branches and was commanded by generals appointed by them; for example, General Revil was a Lieutenant General of the EFGF.
When it was originally created, the Federation's Space Force followed the "Big Gun" ship philosophy, embodying powerful guns to destroy its enemies. This began to change in UC 0079, when the Zeon introduced their mobile suits, which thoroughly decimated a lot of the Federation's Space Force. The advent of the mobile suit forced the Federation to develop their own mobile suits and ships that could carry them, resulting in the Pegasus-class MS carriers. After the Delaz Fleet successfully executed Operation Stardust, the Federation's Space Force finally abandoned the "Big Gun" ship concept completely and focused on making ships that were capable of carrying mobile suits in strength at all times.
Although primarily concerned with space combat, a handful of the EFSF ships were designed to withstand atmospheric re-entry and to operate on Earth and its atmosphere; these ships include the Pegasus, Argama and SCVA-76 Nahel Argama classes. Throughout the Universal Century, the Earth Federation had 17,000 warships at its disposal. By the year U.C. 0123, the EFSF had 35 fleets at its disposal.
Titans
The Titans were an elite counter-insurgency group formed by the Federation in response to the events of Operation Stardust in 0083. Their sole purpose was to hunt down renegade citizens who either supported the Zeon and their cause or spoke out against the Federation government. Because the Titans were able to operate outside the Federation's jurisdiction, they often used inhumane methods to deal with dissidents, and because widely known for their harsh, unrelenting brutality. However, the Titans eventually turned rogue and allied themselves with Axis Zeon, and following a public reveal at the assembly in Dakar were dismissed by the Federation Government.
Londo Bell (L.B.)
Londo Bell is an affiliated special task force established in U.C. 0090 with no specific jurisdiction, created to replace the Titans.
Earth Colony Asteroid (ECOAS)
ECOAS is a special task force established by the Earth Federation Forces in U.C. 0094. It was created as a clandestine group meant to do "wetwork", a.k.a. black-ops-type missions that are off the records. Because of its secretive and independent nature, ECOAS has its own command system, and even Londo Bell has no direct authority over them.

Notes & Trivia
- When the franchise was created, the name used was United Nations Troops (U.N.T.), which comprised the UNT Army, UNT Grand (army–navy joint forces) and UNT Spacy (space force). This name was used in Japan until 1998, when the current name was adopted. Since then, all publications and models have used the EFF name, and the acronym U.N.T. has been retconned to "Under Normal Tactical" to prevent confusion in anime series and older model kits.[25] The reason for this change is unknown, but it is speculated to be due to difficulties in securing global copyrights, as the Macross series uses similar terminology.
- The first material to use the "EFSF" moniker was the Perfect Grade model of the RX-78-2 Gundam.
