Sunda Baru

Sunda Baru has a capable military force that focuses on the integration of land, air, and sea capabilities using joint operational commands. The army can quickly deploy three infantry divisions for defensive operations, with an additional infantry division available for relocation within 30 to 45 days. The addition of two airborne brigades enhances battlefield mobility and provides a rapid response force.

The SBF Navy is a modern force designed to project power into regional seas. Very capable ASW, SUW, and AAW platforms, normally deployed under the umbrella of land-based air, ASM, and SAM systems are the primary means of sea control and sea denial. A limited submarine force provides strike and denial capabilities that focus on approaches to narrow waters, shallow waters, and enemy RAs. The SBF Navy remains among the most potent in Southeast Asia and is expected to adversarial naval forces in order to contest sea control of waters adjacent to Singapore and the Malay Peninsula. The SBF Navy will avoid confrontation with a larger or more technologically advanced adversary, and instead will focus on hit-and-run attacks against targets of opportunity and logistics capabilities with little warning.

The SBF Air Force (SBFAF) is capable of rapid deployment to conduct both offensive and defensive counter air operations. The air force can provide close air support using both fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft. SBF will forward deploy selected air superiority and strike aircraft to airfields on the MAL PEN to achieve local air superiority. Priority for remaining air force units will normally be given to defensive counter air Ito maintain force generation capabilities. All SBF fighter and attack aircraft have aerial refuelling capabilities. The SBFAF operates all fixed wing aircraft for the SBF Armed Forces. This includes aircraft operating off naval vessels. All helicopter support for the Navy, Army, Marine Corps, and the Special Forces Brigade is operated by the Army.

The SBF is one of the few countries having a cyber Army. It resides within the SBFMOD/Joint SBF HQ and is capable of conducting Cyberspace Operations. Over the years, they have evolved from employing it as an additional capability to fully synchronizing cyberwarfare, whether to spread propaganda in support of operations or as a capability that will enable manoeuvre. SBF’s forces will employ a global sympathizer/support network to execute Cyberspace attacks from globally distributed locations. SBF has historically been very selective for when it chooses to conduct cyberspace warfare, and primarily will only engage to counter a perceived hostile force’s combat power and manoeuvre superiority in the land, sea, and air domains, typically employing data manipulation and disruption Operations within the cyberspace domain. That said, when the SBF has demonstrated its cyber capabilities, it has made it clear that all aspects of an adversary are targetable, from tooth to tail. They will not hesitate to disrupt non-military services if the action achieves their desired results.

SBF does not have a dedicated space capability and relies on international capabilities, particularly that of Olvana, for space based communications and navigation.
