The Sakakan Armed Forces is a faction in Just Cause 4: Sakaku.
The flag of Sakaku can be found on one of their shoulders.
General info[]
They were established in the 1900s with the help of the British Military as a protection force.
Later during WWII, they fought alongside the British garrison against the Japanese, but lost. Some soldiers went into hiding and became the Sakakan Resistance.
After Japan's defeat, the British decided to grant the Sakakans their independence and the Sakakan Defense Force became the Sakakan Armed Forces. Unfortunately, their military was short lived before the Soviet Union invaded and subsequently set up their own garrison.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Sakakan Armed Forces set up their military similar to a U.S. military hierarchy style because of their support during the Cold War.
Today in the 2010s, the Sakakans face two main enemies.
One of them is the Communist Liberation Army. They are Sakakans who desired a return to the old Soviet style form of government. They took up arms immediately after the Soviet Union's collapse and has been at war since then.
The other one is the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. When 2013 came around, there were many Muslims who saw a chance to glory and took up arms against the Sakakan government. ISIL eagerly accepted them into their ranks. General Joseph Inouye declared martial law after this.
Unlike most armed forces of the world, the Sakakan Armed Forces also includes the Sakakan Police Department. This was after an order by General Joseph Inouye to integrate the armed forces and police services following the rise of terrorism.
