The San Esperito Armed Forces are the main antagonist faction of the Just Cause Rebooted storyline, being the military wing of the San Esperito government, as well as in effect, being the ruling party of San Esperito.
General Information[]
The duties of the Armed Forces range from counter-terrorism and territorial defense to removing opposition by lethal force, training, aiding, and providing support to the San Esperito Police Forces. It is known that prior to Mendoza's coup, the Armed Forces had received aid and supplies from NATO in the form of Cold War-era hand-me-downs, as well as a sizable amount of ammunition and small-arms weaponry from Warsaw Pact states.
Whenever Rico aggravates the Armed Forces by firing his weapons in front of them, entering the perimeter of their bases while there is a line of sight between him and an Armed Forces member, heat will be gained, and all nearby assets and units will be dispatched in an attempt to neutralize him.
The San Esperito Armed Forces consist of both hastily trained conscripts who were forcibly drafted following Mendoza's seizure of power, as well as more seasoned soldiers who have been among the ranks long before the coup. While most conscripts were deemed unfit for frontline action in the field and were instead relegated to logistical duties, clerical roles, and also as a moderately skilled labor force in the numerous mines and factories, there were a few conscripts who emerged as competent fighters - they were pressed into frontline units. There have also been a sizable number of fanatical nationalists cropping up in the wake of the coup; the armed forces are all too eager to welcome them into their ranks with open arms.
The Army[]
The San Esperito Ground Forces is the land component of the armed forces, with their main force lying in the rifleman and various ground vehicles such as tanks, armored trucks, as well as helicopters, and propeller-driven airplanes in a tactical application. They also administer and control bases that are exclusively built by and for the army. Small garrisons are stationed at Air Force Bases, Naval Bases, and aboard San Esperito Navy ships as an ad-hoc security patrol detail. Armed with a mix of Western, Soviet, Russian, and more recently, Chinese equipment, the San Esperito Ground Forces are geared to take on most threats.
