Greetings all,
I've been encountering some difficulties lately I wished to discuss with you.
I've included you all in this dispatch as best I can tell from my security clearance, it pertains to at least a number of your direct reports.
Some of my classified teams, especially those involved with the containment and research of esoteric or strategically important discoveries/developments, have been running into issues.
As some of you might know, SAINT operates its own independent team to do almost the same duties and has done for many years. While we've collaborated at times, recently it's become clear that when the reports come in for assistance from local forces in these matters, there's notable redundancy and confusion in the response.
I've been given reports of at least one instance of where SAINT and SARA have allegedly both sent teams to a site with near exactly the same composition and equipment, on separate transports, before realising each others' presence and conflicting interests.
Such events make me believe that some sort of collaborative body for organising and potentially merging some of our special forces would be a good idea.
It would eliminate this sort of waste of resources, confusion of intelligence and how outside officers may not know what body to request support from, leading to multiple special forces attending a situation, potentially at the deficit of other places that require their attention.
Additionally, SARA has considerable extra overhead of staff just for dealing with sensitive situations in the field. Our experimental UMBER field teams (for when scientific scenarios are too sensitive for local SARA units) require staffing and administration beyond our normal labwork and field experimentation, but there is no doubt in my mind that SARA personnel are best suited for these incidents.
I imagine that several of the bodies within the Star Army that employ Special Forces as part of their roster may increase efficiency and minimize overhead by having a central body.
For example, Rikugun and Reconnaissance have some - but not total - overlap in some areas, which I'm sure probably leads to a similar scenario when it comes to intelligence mismatches, administrative and deployment redundancy. Both forces are required, cannot be merged, but would benefit from some unification.
The same may be the case with SAINT and its many special forces teams, some of which likely fall into very similar categories as other teams but there have been no attempts to unify. For example, AEGIS, SDF and non-shipboard SOFT teams. The same case as with UMBER and SAINT science teams.
Equally, there is no naval equivalent of the Giretsu, which I'm sure would be quite the asset but would need to be handled differently from the standard Star Army Infantry management, likely with collaboration and advice from ship-board special forces and the Giretsu.
Similarly, hostage rescue units or mutiny recovery units in the SAMP could likely benefit from the experience and robust control of this unified command, rather than the Military Police having to account for such scenarios that are rare in comparison to normal duties.
Please let me know your thoughts.
