>>251639494Problem with their reserve force is alot of it is "Peoples Militia" garbage - basically civilians with like 2 weeks of "military training and and 2 range sessions, and they have obsolete weapons including SKS and AK variants.
The actual reserve forces are tiered and alot of them have Type 81's and 80's and 90's field gear.
This isn't a scenario like the US - A NATIONAL GUARD US infantry company will meet ToE standards for the entire military and will have:
>NVG's issued to every swinging dick>Thermal scopes for leaders, machine gunners, Designated marksmen>IR aiming lasers for every swinging dick>SINCGARS encrypted radios where the keys and fill change every single day meaning chang is gunna have a hard time cracking our commsOn top of normal BII
>one grenade launcher for every 4 men> one LMG - M249 for every 4-6 men>2 M240's per platoon>2 60mm mortars per platoon>2 81mm mortars per company>2 Javelins per platoon>2 M3/M4 MAAWS per platoon>2 AT4/M72 LAW per squad>Company heavy weapons - .50 cal M2, MK19's, TOW ATGM's>Laser designation capability, Satcom capability, BFT/ATAK mission awarenesss/coordination software + EquipmentA platoon of Airborne infantry WILL be able to hold it's own against an entire chink infantry brigade
