◈ New California Republic ◈ Salt Dogs Battalion ◈ Bonneville Station ◈
</div>{{FactionInfobox|name=New California Republic|color=#C8A200|status=Active - Forward Deployed|location=Bonneville Station, Nevada side<br>Wendover Bridge Corridor|leader=LtCol Konrad Jakobsen,<br> LtCol Gwendolyn Adams,<br> Deputy Marshal Ludwig Brandt (Provost)|ideology=Democratic Federalism<br>Rule of Law · Expansionism|motto=''Bear the Republic's burden''|affiliation=New California Republic}}The '''New California Republic''' (NCR) stands as a beacon of democracy and order in the wasteland - a federal presidential republic rooted in old values of democracy, personal freedom, and the sanctity of law. Founded by Aradesh and his daughter Tandi in Shady Sands, it is now led by President Aaron Kimball. The NCR's mission is to restore civilization, uplift infrastructure and economic frameworks, and foster peace. But the Republic is not devoid of flaws: it grapples with expansion, territorial disputes, wavering loyalties, and rising corruption.

== Bonneville Station ==
=== The Salt Dogs Battalion ===
The NCR's foothold east of Nevada is held by the '''Salt Dogs Battalion''', garrisoned at Bonneville Station on the Nevada side of the Wendover bridge. The Utah side is maintained as a forward checkpoint on rotation. The bridge itself is a permanent NCR asset - it does not change hands.

The Battalion was originally commanded by '''Major Blackhawk''', '''Major Walker''', and '''Ranger DAGGER-02'''.

The battalion is now commanded jointly by '''Lieutenant Colonel Konrad Jakobsen''' and '''Lieutenant Colonel Gwendolyn Adams'''. Intelligence, scouting, and law enforcement operations are coordinated by '''Chief Ranger Sam 'Clover' Wolfe''', a veteran of the Utah campaign. Provost is directed by the head regional authority, '''Deputy Marshal Ludwig Brandt'''.

Wendover sits at the last real choke point before Utah opens into open wastes. I-80 runs through it. The salt trade runs through it. Whatever moves east or west in this region moves through Bonneville, and the Salt Dogs are there to make sure the NCR has a say in how it moves.

=== Strategic Context: DAGGER-02 Field Report ===
<blockquote style="background:#111; border-left:4px solid #C8A200; margin:0.8em 2em; padding:0.6em 1em; color:#c8b060; font-style:italic; font-family:serif;">"Station is established. Major Blackhawk and Major Walker are on the ground and operational.

I'll be plain: given the current situation back home, I'm not certain who is reading this or in what capacity anymore. I'm filing it anyway. That's the job.

We're here for I-80 and salt. Wendover is the last real chokepoint before Utah opens up. The salt funds the operation, which matters more now than it did when we were assigned here.

Nevada side of the bridge is home base. Utah side is a forward checkpoint on rotation. The bridge stays ours.

The Brotherhood has dug into the old airfield on the Utah side. They're not here by accident and they aren't telling us why. Nothing actionable yet. Legion presence has been noted in the region. Unknown which Legio, considering the civil war. Extent and intent unknown. Command should consider this when reviewing resupply prioritization.

- DAGGER-02, attached, Bonneville Station

Co-signed: Major Blackhawk, Major Walker - Salt Dogs Battalion, NCR"</blockquote>

== Laws ==
Dictated by the constitution of the Republic, every citizen of the NCR - civilian or military - must follow these laws.

It is a crime to '''take the life of another''', be it murder or manslaughter. These acts are harshly punished; depending on severity, punishment can reach execution. It is a crime to '''steal from another''', regardless of circumstances, punishable by prison with the possibility of parole.

=== Basic Rights ===
All citizens hold the following universal rights, which may not be infringed upon:
{| style="background:#141414; color:#d0d0d0; border:1px solid #C8A200; width:60%; padding:4px;"
| style="padding:4px 12px;" |
* The right to own personal property
* The right to freedom of expression, religion, and speech
* The right to self-defense
* The right to bear a sidearm and concealed carry inside NCR-controlled territories
* The right to enlist
* The right to an attorney
* The right to remain silent in cases of self-incrimination
* The right to a fair trial
|}
In the case of criminal arrest, all rights, barring the right to remain silent, to a fair trial, and to an attorney, are suspended.

=== Treason ===
All acts of treason are, in most cases, punishable by death. Includes: fraternizing with or providing information to an enemy of the state, terrorism, desertion, and dereliction of duty.

=== Fraudulent Activities ===
Punishable by prison or voluntary labor. Includes: money laundering, identity theft, falsification of reports or official documents, forgery of currency, and the sale/distribution of illicit substances (Jet, Psycho, Turbo).

== New California Republic Army (NCRA) ==
The defense forces of the Republic. The NCRA must tackle conflicts in a non-aggressive way - de-escalate first, deal with threats using the minimum force possible.<blockquote style="background:#111; border-left:4px solid #C8A200; margin:0.8em 2em; padding:0.6em 1em; color:#c8b060; font-style:italic;">"The mission of the NCR is to uphold the law in the region, as well as to try to gain anything valuable - trading with major powers or settlements, or obtaining resources from the area. Expansionism is allowed but only by diplomacy or to expel a threat. Keeping a good image of the Republic is key."</blockquote>

=== Basic Principles ===
{| style="background:#141414; color:#d0d0d0; border:1px solid #C8A200; width:65%; padding:4px;"
| style="padding:4px 12px;" |
* Follow the rules of war and human rights
* Obey the chain of command
* While on duty, do not drink alcohol or gamble
* Treat prisoners with respect and dignity; field execution requires officer or High Command authorization
* Wear your uniform at all times. Dog tags and rank pins must always be visible
* Going off-duty requires chain-of-command approval; always ask command before stepping down
|}
'''Field Promotions''' are legal. An NCO may promote enlisted personnel; a CO may promote an NCO for exceptional service. Cannot promote between branches, nor skip from enlisted to officer.

== Branches of the NCRA ==
The New California Republic Army operates a multitude of branches separate from the regular Army. Those range from specialized units to essential supporting roles from the Military Police, the Medical Corps, and the Quartermaster Corps.

=== New California Republic Army Reconnaissance Battalion (Recon) ===
The New California Republic Army Reconnaissance Battalion is one of the specialized battalions in the New California Republic Army, with the most famous Reconnaissance Battalion being the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, or First Recon. Known for their sharpshooting abilities and skirmishing capabilities, the Recon is usually tasked with direct combat support, to provide accurate shots from flanks to take out the hostile squad leaders and junior officers. They are usually sizing with the newly established FORECON, due to their seniority in the unit's history, as well as the Recon having more direct support in combat, as well as their renowned marksmanship.

=== New California Republic Army Force Reconnaissance (FORECON) ===
The New California Republic Army Force Reconnaissance is an NCRA unit separate from Recon, while Recon prioritizes marksmanship and fire support, FORECON provides deep reconnaissance, usually through the usage of NCR troopers who went through FORECON Specialization Courses to become NCR FORECON Infiltrators. And usually sizing with Recon for their deep reconnaissance and Ranger-like unit role.

=== New California Republic Army Quartermaster Corps (QM) ===
The New California Republic Army Quartermaster Corps is the newest branch established, shortly after the Mohave Campaign. Although the role of Quartermasters existed before, and has been officially assigned by military installations' commanding officers, it was never an official branch until then. The Quartermaster Corps assigns a logistics company to every Battalion in the NCRA. Specifically, Requisition Officers. The Quartermasters are recognizable by their black berets. In Wendover, the 3rd Battalion Logistics Supplement Company is attached.

==== Ranks of the Quartermaster Corps ====

* '''Quartermaster''' - Rank and file, or the NCO's, attain the title of Quartermaster if they pass the Quartermaster Corps Qualification, and are usually led by the Requisition Officer, or act as one in one's absence.
* '''Requisition Officer''' - Junior officer within the NCRA, and the highest battalion-level position in the Quartermaster Corps. They are usually seen with other junior officers and senior officers, making sure resources are properly diverted to wherever they are needed to go.

=== New California Republic Army Medical Corps (Medical) ===
The oldest established Corps in the New Californian Republic Army. The New California Republic Army Medical Corps is a non-combat branch consisting of commissioned medical officers, who are licensed M.D's who operate the various medical bays across the NCRA's military installations, helping others with medical expertise the Army can't get enough hands on, so does the Wasteland, as well. They are often one of the most valued targets for kidnapping by both the Raiders and the Legions alike for their skills. They are recognizable by their white lab coats.

=== New California Republic Army Corps of Engineers ===
Established shortly after the Medical Corps, the New California Republic Army Corps of Engineers includes both combat and non-combat personnel in charge of construction, fortification, breaching, vertibird and vehicle maintenance, and silicon oversight. They provide essential work to keep the Army running, usually without any glory or publicity of the other branches.

==== Silicons ====
Silicons are under the direct authority of the New California Republic Army Corps of Engineers and are expected to follow all orders received from NCRA command personnel.

* Silicons are granted the same basic rights as Troopers
* Silicons aligned with the NCR may be granted access to the base and a radio headset
* Silicons can be issued a rank based on Officer discretion
* All ranks held by any silicon are to be considered honorary and hold no real command authority

If a silicon disobeys orders or is exhibiting 'feelings', they should be reported immediately to the 37th Engineering Company for repair and re-tuning.

=== New California Republic Army Military Police Corps (MP) ===
The New California Republic Army Military Police Corps is the official law enforcement branch of the New California Republic Army. They perform everything from investigations, arrests, trials, enforcement of military code on the NCRA troopers, and law enforcement in occupied territories. They are the most hated branch out of all of the Army Branches due to their constant, albeit necessary, enforcement of military regulations on the Troopers. They are often targets of fragging, a term used for intentional friendly fire by disgruntled troopers due to that reason. They are recognizable by their NCR metal helmet with the M.P sprayed on it. In Wendover, the 4th Military Police Brigade is attached to Bonneville Station.

==== Ranks of the Military Police Corps ====

* '''Military Police Specialist''' - The first rank attained by passing the Military Police Law Enforcement training, and usually seen at Platoon or Battalion level posts. They are still in training, and need experience from the Staff Sergeant.
* '''Military Police Staff Sergeant''' - The NCO rank of the NCRA and the Military Police. They are both enforcers, de facto drill sergeants, and trainers for the Specialists. They are the bulk of the Military Police, usually posted at Battalion-level.
* '''Military Police Lieutenant''' - The Junior officer rank of the NCRA and the Military Police. They are sent directly by the Military Police Battalion Command to places they need to be, and have the final say in matters of the Military Code.

== Crime and Punishment ==
Punishment in the NCR is divided between Non-Judicial and Judicial Punishment.

=== Non-Judicial Punishment (NJP) ===
For less severe offenses. Given by NCOs and Officers in the field. These punishments must best fit the severity of the offense and cannot be cruel or arbitrary.

* Reprimand · Forfeiture of Pay · Extra Duty · Diminished Rations
* Confinement to Base or Brig
* Loss of Rank (requires Captain or higher approval)

=== Judicial Punishment (JP) ===
Determined after court martial for major or capital offenses.

* Other Than Honorable Discharge · Dishonorable Discharge
* Execution via Firing Squad or Hanging
* Barred from Reenlistment

=== Court Martial ===
Requested by high-ranking members or the Military Police. Handles serious crimes between NCRA and NCRR. Non-military personnel are not sentenced to Court Martial - they receive a Civilian Court Trial. Court martials take time; they are not instantaneous.

'''Modifiers:''' Aggravating factors (repeating an offense, refusing to cooperate) make punishment harsher. Mitigating factors (surrendering, cooperating) make it less harsh.

== Dress Code ==
All on-duty personnel must be in full uniform during all NCR operations. Soldiers may wear non-NCR apparel (cowboy hats, bandanas), provided they remain identifiable as NCR personnel. The Commanding Officer has the right to declare enforced helmet wearing by Troopers. It is otherwise assumed to not be enforced. Anyone of higher rank may still order any personnel below them to wear a protective helmet.

=== Hair, Hygiene Regulations ===
Members of the Military, regardless of gender, status, or situation, must maintain a state of uniformity and cleanness to exert the professionalism of the military; as such, all personnel must groom themselves, and also maintain a degree of hygiene suitable for the proper conduct of one's station.

==== Hair Code ====
Members of the Military must not have their hair below their shoulders, tied or not. They are also not allowed to keep one's hair in a state of clutter and chaos. One's hair must also not be of unnatural hair color. Complaints for the legitimacy of their hair color may be requested so by their nearest Medical Officer.

==== Hygiene Code ====
Members of the Military must maintain their hygiene at every possible moment during their duty. Those are: body odor, general dirtiness, blood, vomit, or general improper fragrance of one's body.

=== Weapon Regulations ===
Weapons should be holstered when not in use. Personnel must be allowed to holster on their first offense. Under normal circumstances, weapons may only be fired in the firing range. Weapons may not be left unattended unless properly secured in spaces intended for them, like weapon racks, cabinets, or the armory.

== Criminals and Prisoners of War ==

=== Criminals ===
Individuals not part of any faction who have broken NCR laws, committed crimes against NCR citizens or personnel, or undermined NCR operations. Criminals are protected under NCR laws - they must be treated humanely, provided with food, clothing, and shelter, and may not be abused while non-resisting. In the absence of non-lethal methods to detain and secure a inmate, lethal methods are authorized if they attempt to escape.

=== Prisoners of War (POWs) ===
Individuals who are part of a faction currently at war with the NCR. POWs are protected under NCR laws and must be treated humanely. Anyone releasing a POW without authorization is charged with Sedition or Treason.

=== Executions ===
Executions fall under the server rules of [[Rules|Round Removal]] and should be used extremely sparingly and with bulletproof In Character reasoning. (DO NOT Round Remove people because they personally bother you or attempting escape, give the player their own story!). You are expected and '''demanded''' to fax High Command with execution post-mortem reports (who, when, where, and why are bare essentials if you're not into paperwork).

Military Police are allowed to execute prisoners/prisoners of war should they deem the subject un-detainable; Or under '''extraordinary circumstances''' as approved by the CO/High Command. Military Police are '''required to hold the subject for as long as possible''' (I.E: Give them solitary confinement first or some similar 'second chance' punishment) before deeming them a drain on resources to keep.

== Relations ==
By server rules, every faction begins the round as 'neutral' to each other. The below table is purely for lore reference and shouldn't be an excuse to kill any member of any faction on sight.

!Notes
|-
|[[Brotherhood of Steel]]
|Tense
|Due to the events of '''[[Brotherhood of Steel#The Kearny Occupation: The "Silent Years"|Operation Sunburst (2276)]]''', the NCR severally wounded the 509th chapter's presence in Wendover. The brotherhood regards the NCR as a oppressive force to their goals- but the NCR seem confident the brotherhood are too busy licking their wounds to impede in the salt dogs battalion's diplomatic goals within the area.
|-
|[[Caesar's Legion]]
|Tense
|The NCR and Legion are ideologically opposed on almost every issue. This, in combination with a long and storied history of conflict between the two factions, leads to a deep enmity that often spirals into open conflict. Only seen cooperating against a bigger, common, enemy.
|-
|[[Followers of the Apocalypse]]
|Friendly
|The NCR greatly respects and utilizes the medical expertise of the followers. The only possible conflict these two factions have is polite political disagreements stemming from the follower's staunch position of pacifism.
|-
|[[Townsfolk]]
|Friendly
|The townsfolk are more than happy to exchange with the NCR for goods and services- the NCR are more than happy to expand their diplomatic relations with like-minded individuals within Wendover.
|-
|[[Wastelanders]]
|Neutral
|Wastelanders are, and forever will be, a wildcard within Wendover. However, NCR law dictates that they are entitled to a set of basic rights, up-to-but-not-excluding: the right to a sidearm, the right for freedom of expression, and the right to enlist. The latter being the main draw for the NCR.
|-
|[[Vault Dwellers]]
|Neutral
|Similar to their position on the Wastelanders- the NCR views the Vault as proper citizens of the region, entitled to every right as a citizen of the NCR. Especially the right to enlist.
|-
|[[Wasteland Tribes]]
|Neutral
|The Yuma Tribal views the presence of the Bear within their homeland as an obvious scheme for colonization. The NCR view their expansionist efforts as more merciful than anything the other two major factions could offer. At the end of the day, the two remain isolated and can go weeks without any diplomatic attempts between them.
|-
|[[Outlaws]]
|Tense
|Thieves and ne'er-do-wells. A small, but organized, threat to the NCR's diplomatic goals for the region.

The '''New California Republic Rangers''' (NCRR) are the volunteer special force of the New California Republic Army. Rooted in the values of the Republic and the Desert Rangers, the primary goal of Rangers is to deal with threats the army cannot handle, peacekeeping and law enforcement around the borders of NCR territory, and scouting. Founded by President Tandi, with Seth being honored as the "first" ranger of the NCR, the title of "Chief Ranger" has been passed around. While being regarded as the elite forces of the NCRA, the rangers are still guilty of internal conflict and corruption.

== History ==

=== 2160: Origins ===
Before the New California Republic was even formed, the then small settlement of Shady Sands was protected by '''Captain Seth''' and his guard, protecting the people of Shady Sands from threats from the various threats of the wasteland. '''Seth''' eventually went missing and was presumed dead after going on an investigation towards Vault 13. After his death, he was honored as the founder and given the title "First Ranger" by '''President Tandi'''.

=== 2160-2241: Expansion ===
As the numbers of the Rangers grew, the Rangers were made an independent law enforcement agency focused on peacekeeping inside and outside the Republic's borders. A core mission of theirs was the abolishment of slavery, which they fought the practice for decades eventually leading to legislation happening in 2241 abolishing slavery in Shady Sands and the lands south of it.

The Rangers operated in secret, due to their low numbers, making a series of safehouses and even hiding their headquarters in an auto shop in Shady Sands. They raided slave outposts in and outside the Republic's borders, fighting and winning against often impossible odds for the small Ranger force. Their determination proved invaluable to the young Republic, and their cause eventually turned into protecting the wasteland from all forms of tyranny.

=== 2271: Unification ===
The Rangers underwent reform in 2271 after '''Chief Ranger Elise''' signed the Ranger Unification Treaty with the '''Desert Rangers''', a group of vigilantes who trace their origin back to the '''Texas Rangers'''. Following the treaty, '''Chief Elise''' dedicated the Rangers to supporting the Republic in the Mojave Campaign and protecting crucial assets such as Hoover Dam and New Vegas, skirmishing with the eastern army of Caesar's Legion. The Rangers ethics were questioned during the battles with Caesar's Legion, as the Legion often resorted to cruel tactics such as giving civilians explosives to exploit the Rangers.

=== 2277: First Battle of Hoover Dam ===
The Rangers single-handedly turned the tide of First Battle of Hoover of Dam with a trapped laid by '''Chief Hanlon''', with assistance from '''NCRA First Recon''', where they led the Legion forces into Boulder City and detonated large stashes of explosives in the buildings of Boulder City, destroying the Legion's main force and forcing them to retreat back east. The Rangers were regarded as heroes following the battle, and moved onto protecting the Mojave wasteland from their six Ranger stations Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, and Foxtrot.

=== 2296: Utah Campaign and Wendover ===
Following the announcement of the Utah Campaign, a small detachment of Rangers was sent with the "Salt Dogs" Battalion to help secure the region for larger NCR involvement over the crucial resource, salt. Originally operating inside the Salt Dogs Battalion, the Rangers eventually established '''Ranger Station Juliet''' and now focus on their original goals of abolitionism and enforcing law in the wastes.

|-
|Supermutant Ranger
|Supermutants who somehow found their place among the rangers. They range from Recruits to Veterans, providing invaluable skills normal Rangers don't have.
|}

=== Rights of a Ranger ===
All Rangers are inherently deputized, empowered to enforce laws as they see fit in the wasteland. Rangers operate with autonomy but cooperate with NCRA partners with the exception of the NCRA Major, to whom they all must answer to. They can give orders to the NCRA if no NCRA officer is available. Rangers are expected to follow NCRA Military Code while on base, and may be punished by Military Police.
* A '''Chief Ranger''' holds the authority of a Major
* A '''Veteran Ranger''' holds the authority of a Second Lieutenant
* A '''Field Ranger''' holds the authority of a Staff Sergeant
* A '''Patrol Ranger''' holds the authority of Sergeant
* A '''Ranger Recruit''' holds the authority of a Recruit

New California Republic Military Code

2026-08-21T20:49:54Z

Sssaaagggeee: cut bloat crimes + repeat statements

== Expectation of Conduct ==
All service members of the NCRA are expected to uphold the principles stated in their oath of enlistment or commissioning.

* To bear allegiance to the New California Republic and its Constitution.
* To support and defend the New California Republic against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
* To obey all lawful orders of the President of the New California Republic and all lawful orders issued by superior officers.
* To preserve the good order, discipline, and reputation of the New California Republic Army.
* To protect NCR citizens and property where reasonably possible.

All personnel, whether on or off duty, are expected to obey the laws of the New California Republic.

== Articles of Command ==
'''Article 1 - Lawful Authority'''

All personnel shall obey lawful orders issued by Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers, Military Police, Provost personnel, or any other person properly empowered by NCR law or military regulation.

An order requiring personnel to knowingly commit an unlawful act shall not be considered lawful.

Personnel are not required to obey an unlawful order.

'''Article 2 - Attempt, Conspiracy, and Assistance'''

Attempting to commit an offense, conspiring to commit an offense, knowingly assisting another person in committing an offense, or deliberately concealing participation in an offense may be punished under the same category as the attempted offense.

Punishment should take into consideration whether the offense was successfully completed.

'''Article 3 - Command Responsibility'''

Officers and NCOs are responsible for maintaining discipline among personnel under their authority.

Command personnel who knowingly permit serious criminal conduct and fail to reasonably prevent, stop, or report that conduct may be charged with '''Neglect of Duty''', '''Abuse of Authority''', or another appropriate offense.

'''Article 4 - Promotion and Rank'''

Field Promotions are legal. A non-commissioned officer may promote an enlisted for exceptional service, and likewise a commissioned officer may promote a non-commissioned officer. '''Field Commissions''', promoting an non-commissioned to commissioned officer, requires the approval of someone rank '''Major''' or above.

== Chain of Command ==

=== Army Chain of Command ===
The Army Chain of Command determines who holds general authority over the battalion.

Command shall normally pass to the highest-ranking appropriate member of the chain of command.

Where no normal Commanding Officer is available, an appropriately senior member of the Military Police, Medical Department, or Ranger detachment may temporarily assume the position of '''Acting Commander''' where necessary for continued operation of the installation.

=== Medical Chain of Command ===
The '''Medical Doctor''' possesses authority over medical procedures, treatment priorities, medical safety, and ordinary operation of the medical bay.

Personnel within the medical bay are expected to comply with lawful medical instructions relating to treatment or medical safety.

'''Military Police''' authority does not exempt MPs from the COMJ.

Abuse of '''MP''' authority may be treated as an aggravating circumstance.

== Code of Military Justice (COMJ) ==
Punishment under the COMJ is separated into '''Judicial Punishment''' and '''Non-Judicial Punishment'''.

=== Judicial Punishment ===
Judicial Punishment is imposed following conviction during a Court Martial or Military Tribunal.

It is generally reserved for Major, Capital, and War Crime offenses.

Judicial punishments may include:

* Loss of Rank.
* Forfeiture of Pay.
* Removal from Command.
* Other Than Honorable Discharge.
* Dishonorable Discharge.
* Barred from reenlistment.
* Long-term imprisonment.
* Hard labor.
* Execution by Firing Squad.

Execution shall be considered an extraordinary punishment and shall not automatically follow conviction for a Capital Offense.

=== Non-Judicial Punishment ===
Non-Judicial Punishment is intended to resolve minor disciplinary matters without requiring a Court Martial.

It may be administered by authorized NCOs and Officers.

Punishment must remain proportional to the offense and may not be unusually cruel, dangerous, or arbitrarily imposed.

Non-Judicial Punishment may include:

* Verbal reprimand.
* Forfeiture of Pay.
* Extra Duty.
* Physical Training.
* Diminished Rations where medically safe.
* Confinement to Quarters.
* Temporary Confinement to Brig.
* Temporary restriction from certain duties.
* Temporary confiscation of issued equipment.
* Loss of Rank with approval from a Lieutenant or higher.

Officers and NCOs may create other reasonable disciplinary measures where appropriate.

== Criminals and Prisoners of War ==
Individuals held by the NCRA generally fall into one of three categories:

* Criminal.
* Military Detainee.
* Prisoner of War.

=== Criminals ===
Criminals are persons not acting as members of a military organization presently in a state of war with the NCR who are reasonably believed to have committed an offense against NCR law.

This may include persons who have:

* Broken NCR law inside NCR-controlled territory.
* Committed terrorism against NCR citizens or personnel.
* Deliberately undermined NCR military operations.
* Destroyed NCR property.
* Stolen NCR property.
* Attacked NCR citizens or military personnel.

Criminals shall be treated humanely.

They shall be provided reasonable access to:

* Food.
* Water.
* Clothing.
* Shelter.
* Necessary medical treatment.

Prisoners who remain non-resistant may not be deliberately harmed.

Non-lethal force may be used where reasonably necessary to control resistance or attempted escape.

Lethal force may be used where the prisoner creates an immediate threat of serious injury or death.

Prisoners may perform manual or menial labor but may not be deliberately assigned inhumane or lethally hazardous labor.

=== Military Detainees ===
A Military Detainee is a person temporarily held due to an immediate security, operational, investigative, or intelligence concern.

Detention itself is not punishment.

The person's status should be determined by Command or Military Police as soon as reasonably practical.

=== Prisoners of War ===
Prisoners of War are members of an organization, nation, faction, or army presently engaged in hostilities against the NCR.

POWs shall be treated humanely.

They must receive:

* Food.
* Water.
* Shelter.
* Basic clothing.
* Necessary medical treatment.

POWs may be searched, restrained, interrogated, and confined.

Non-lethal force may be used to control resistance or attempted escape.

POWs shall not be:

* Tortured.
* Deliberately starved.
* Used as human shields.
* Deliberately exposed to lethal labor.
* Used to falsely lure hostile personnel into an ambush.
* Arbitrarily executed.

POWs may perform reasonable manual labor.

POWs may not be executed, exchanged, released, or transferred without authorization from the Commander, Acting Commander, High Command, or another authority specifically empowered to authorize such action.

Any Commander ordering an execution, exchange, or transfer for personal, retaliatory, corrupt, or otherwise unlawful reasons may be held criminally responsible.
== List of Offenses ==

=== Misdemeanor (MR) ===
Misdemeanors are crimes or disciplinary violations which generally do not directly or seriously hinder the capabilities of the NCRA.

Misdemeanors normally result in Non-Judicial Punishment with the recommended punishment being physical training (push ups, running, etc) or brief detainment (no more than 10 minutes). Repeated or aggravated Misdemeanors may be elevated to a Major Offense.

== Court Martial ==
Court Martials may be requested by:

* Command personnel.
* Military Police.
* Provost personnel.
* High Command.
* Other authorities empowered by NCR military law.

Court Martials primarily handle serious offenses involving members of the NCRA or NCRR.

Non-military personnel are ordinarily tried through civilian NCR courts rather than Court Martial.

A Court Martial is a formal proceeding and should not be treated as an instantaneous punishment.

An accused person should be informed of:

* The charges against them.
* The evidence being presented.
* The nature of the proceeding.

Where reasonably possible, the accused shall be allowed to:

* Give their account.
* Present evidence.
* Call witnesses.
* Challenge accusations.
* Request representation.

Temporary detention while awaiting Court Martial is not itself a criminal punishment.

== Military Police and Provost Investigations ==
Military Police may detain personnel where reasonable grounds exist to believe an offense has occurred.

Major investigations should preserve:

* Witness testimony.
* Physical evidence.
* Medical evidence.
* Relevant radio recordings.
* Written orders.
* Official reports.
* Applicable chain-of-command information.

Provost personnel may assume or supervise investigations involving:

* (Senior) Officers.
* Military Police.
* Treason.
* Espionage.
* Sabotage.
* Terrorism.
* War Crimes.
* Corruption.
* Serious Abuse of Authority.
* Conflicts of interest within the local chain of command.

No Officer may terminate a lawful Provost investigation merely because the investigation concerns themselves or personnel under their command.

== Executions ==
Execution is an extraordinary punishment and shall be used sparingly. Execution remains subject to applicable server rules concerning [[Rules|Round Removal]]. Execution must possess substantial In-Character justification.

Personnel should not be executed merely because:

* They are personally disliked.
* They insulted Command.
* They attempted escape.
* Their continued detention is inconvenient.
* They committed a minor offense.
* A superior wishes to punish them quickly.

Where reasonably possible, Military Police are expected to attempt continued detention before determining that execution is necessary.

This may include:

* Increased restraint.
* Solitary confinement.
* Relocation.
* Increased guard.
* Removal of dangerous equipment.

Military Police may carry out emergency execution where a prisoner has become genuinely impossible to safely detain and presents a continuing serious threat.

Execution may also occur under extraordinary circumstances with approval from the Commander or High Command.

All executions require a postmortem report to High Command.

At minimum, the report shall state:

* Identity of the executed individual.
* Date and approximate time.
* Location.
* Offenses or circumstances.
* Authority ordering or approving execution.
* Method of execution.
* Personnel involved.

== Dress Code ==
All on-duty personnel are expected to follow NCRA uniform regulations.

Personnel shall wear the appropriate uniform:

* While on duty.
* While on post.
* During military operations.
* While formally representing the NCRA.

Personnel may not substantially alter or remove their uniform without authorization from the Commander or Acting Commander unless emergency circumstances reasonably require it.

Every soldier shall be provided the appropriate uniform for their rank and specialization where supplies permit.

The Commander may authorize modifications due to:

* Combat conditions.
* Weather.
* Medical requirements.
* Operational necessity.
* Equipment limitations.

Personnel shall remain reasonably identifiable as members of the NCRA unless participation in an authorized covert operation requires otherwise.

Once exceptional conditions cease, ordinary uniform regulations shall resume.

== Hair ==
Hair shall be reasonably groomed.

Hair may extend beyond the shoulder blades where it can be secured in a ponytail, braid, or bun and does not interfere with military equipment.

Hair shall not interfere with:

* Helmets.
* Covers.
* Gas masks.
* Respirators.
* Communications equipment.
* Other protective equipment.

Hair shall ordinarily remain a natural human color. Dyes, tints, or bleach may be used where the resulting color remains reasonably natural. Unnatural colors may be prohibited where they materially detract from identification or professional military appearance.

Helmets and covers may be removed indoors where appropriate.

== Hygiene ==
Military personnel shall maintain reasonable personal hygiene whenever conditions allow.

Personnel are expected to remove or clean:

* Excessive body odor.
* Dirt.
* Blood.
* Vomit.
* Chemical contaminants.
* Other substances which create a hygiene or medical concern.

Personnel returning directly from combat, field operations, medical emergencies, or similarly demanding circumstances shall be given reasonable opportunity to clean themselves before disciplinary action is considered.

The '''New California Republic Rangers''' (NCRR) are the volunteer special force of the New California Republic Army. Rooted in the values of the Republic and the Desert Rangers, the primary goal of Rangers is to deal with threats the army cannot handle, peacekeeping and law enforcement around the borders of NCR territory, and scouting. Founded by President Tandi, with Seth being honored as the "first" ranger of the NCR, the title of "Chief Ranger" has been passed around. While being regarded as the elite forces of the NCRA, the rangers are still guilty of internal conflict and corruption.

== History ==

=== 2160: Origins ===
Before the New California Republic was even formed, the then small settlement of Shady Sands was protected by '''Captain Seth''' and his guard, protecting the people of Shady Sands from threats from the various threats of the wasteland. '''Seth''' eventually went missing and was presumed dead after going on an investigation towards Vault 13. After his death, he was honored as the founder and given the title "First Ranger" by '''President Tandi'''.

=== 2160-2241: Expansion ===
As the numbers of the Rangers grew, the Rangers were made an independent law enforcement agency focused on peacekeeping inside and outside the Republic's borders. A core mission of theirs was the abolishment of slavery, which they fought the practice for decades eventually leading to legislation happening in 2241 abolishing slavery in Shady Sands and the lands south of it.

The Rangers operated in secret, due to their low numbers, making a series of safehouses and even hiding their headquarters in an auto shop in Shady Sands. They raided slave outposts in and outside the Republic's borders, fighting and winning against often impossible odds for the small Ranger force. Their determination proved invaluable to the young Republic, and their cause eventually turned into protecting the wasteland from all forms of tyranny.

=== 2271: Unification ===
The Rangers underwent reform in 2271 after '''Chief Ranger Elise''' signed the Ranger Unification Treaty with the '''Desert Rangers''', a group of vigilantes who trace their origin back to the '''Texas Rangers'''. Following the treaty, '''Chief Elise''' dedicated the Rangers to supporting the Republic in the Mojave Campaign and protecting crucial assets such as Hoover Dam and New Vegas, skirmishing with the eastern army of Caesar's Legion. The Rangers ethics were questioned during the battles with Caesar's Legion, as the Legion often resorted to cruel tactics such as giving civilians explosives to exploit the Rangers.

=== 2277: First Battle of Hoover Dam ===
The Rangers single-handedly turned the tide of First Battle of Hoover of Dam with a trapped laid by '''Chief Hanlon''', with assistance from '''NCRA First Recon''', where they led the Legion forces into Boulder City and detonated large stashes of explosives in the buildings of Boulder City, destroying the Legion's main force and forcing them to retreat back east. The Rangers were regarded as heroes following the battle, and moved onto protecting the Mojave wasteland from their six Ranger stations Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, and Foxtrot.

=== 2296: Utah Campaign and Wendover ===
Following the announcement of the Utah Campaign, a small detachment of Rangers was sent with the "Salt Dogs" Battalion to help secure the region for larger NCR involvement over the crucial resource, salt. Originally operating inside the Salt Dogs Battalion, the Rangers eventually established '''Ranger Station Juliet''' and now focus on their original goals of abolitionism and enforcing law in the wastes.

=== Rights of a Ranger ===
All Rangers are inherently deputized, empowered to enforce laws as they see fit in the wasteland. Rangers operate with autonomy but cooperate with NCRA partners with the exception of the NCRA Major, to whom they all must answer to. They can give orders to the NCRA if no NCRA officer is available. Rangers are expected to follow NCRA Military Code while on base, and may be punished by Military Police.
* A '''Chief Ranger''' holds the authority of a Major
* A '''Veteran Ranger''' holds the authority of a Second Lieutenant
* A '''Field Ranger''' holds the authority of a Staff Sergeant
* A '''Patrol Ranger''' holds the authority of Sergeant
* A '''Ranger Recruit''' holds the authority of a Recruit

New California Republic Military Code

2026-08-20T23:11:55Z

Sssaaagggeee: promotions

== Expectation of Conduct ==
All service members of the NCRA are expected to uphold the principles stated in their oath of enlistment or commissioning.

* To bear allegiance to the New California Republic and its Constitution.
* To support and defend the New California Republic against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
* To obey all lawful orders of the President of the New California Republic and all lawful orders issued by superior officers.
* To preserve the good order, discipline, and reputation of the New California Republic Army.
* To protect NCR citizens and property where reasonably possible.

All personnel, whether on or off duty, are expected to obey the laws of the New California Republic.

This includes prohibitions against:

* Slavery.
* Unlawful gambling.
* Drug abuse.
* Public intoxication.
* Disorderly conduct.
* Theft.
* Unlawful violence.
* Cooperation with hostile forces.

All on-duty personnel are expected to wear the proper NCRA uniform while conducting military operations or performing military duties unless otherwise authorized by Command.

Failure to comply with these standards may result in Judicial or Non-Judicial Punishment.

All members of the NCRA may be tried by Court Martial for sufficiently serious offenses.

== Articles of Command ==
'''Article 1 - Lawful Authority'''

All personnel shall obey lawful orders issued by Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers, Military Police, Provost personnel, or any other person properly empowered by NCR law or military regulation.

An order requiring personnel to knowingly commit an unlawful act shall not be considered lawful.

Personnel are not required to obey an unlawful order.

'''Article 2 - Individual Responsibility'''

Rank does not excuse criminal conduct.

Personnel who issue an unlawful order may be charged with:

* The offense resulting from that order.
* Abuse of Authority.
* Any other applicable offense.

Personnel who knowingly carry out an obviously unlawful order may also be held responsible.

'''Article 3 - Attempt, Conspiracy, and Assistance'''

Attempting to commit an offense, conspiring to commit an offense, knowingly assisting another person in committing an offense, or deliberately concealing participation in an offense may be punished under the same category as the attempted offense.

Punishment should take into consideration whether the offense was successfully completed.

'''Article 4 - Command Responsibility'''

Officers and NCOs are responsible for maintaining discipline among personnel under their authority.

Command personnel who knowingly permit serious criminal conduct and fail to reasonably prevent, stop, or report that conduct may be charged with '''Neglect of Duty''', '''Abuse of Authority''', or another appropriate offense.

'''Article 5 - Military Necessity'''

Command authority may be expanded during combat, emergencies, attacks upon NCR installations, or other extraordinary circumstances.
Military necessity does not authorize:

* Torture.
* Arbitrary execution.
* Personal retaliation.
* Theft for personal gain.
* Deliberate attacks against protected civilians.
* Obviously unlawful orders.
'''Article 6 - Promotion and Rank'''

Field Promotions are legal. A non-commissioned officer may promote an enlisted for exceptional service, and likewise a commissioned officer may promote a non-commissioned officer. '''Field Commissions''', promoting an non-commissioned to commissioned officer, requires the approval of someone rank '''Major''' or above.

== Chain of Command ==

=== Army Chain of Command ===
The Army Chain of Command determines who holds general authority over the battalion.

Command shall normally pass to the highest-ranking appropriate member of the chain of command.

Where no normal Commanding Officer is available, an appropriately senior member of the Military Police, Medical Department, or Ranger detachment may temporarily assume the position of '''Acting Commander''' where necessary for continued operation of the installation.

Temporary assumption of Command does not permanently confer additional rank.

=== Medical Chain of Command ===
The '''Medical Doctor''' possesses authority over medical procedures, treatment priorities, medical safety, and ordinary operation of the medical bay.

Personnel within the medical bay are expected to comply with lawful medical instructions relating to treatment or medical safety.

'''The Commander''' retains superior military authority but should not unnecessarily interfere with medical decisions made within the '''Medical Doctor'''<nowiki/>'s professional authority.

'''Military Police''' authority does not exempt MPs from the COMJ.

Abuse of '''MP''' authority may be treated as an aggravating circumstance.

== Code of Military Justice (COMJ) ==
Punishment under the COMJ is separated into '''Judicial Punishment''' and '''Non-Judicial Punishment'''.

=== Judicial Punishment ===
Judicial Punishment is imposed following conviction during a Court Martial or Military Tribunal.

It is generally reserved for Major, Capital, and War Crime offenses.

Judicial punishments may include:

* Loss of Rank.
* Forfeiture of Pay.
* Removal from Command.
* Other Than Honorable Discharge.
* Dishonorable Discharge.
* Barred from reenlistment.
* Long-term imprisonment.
* Hard labor.
* Execution by Firing Squad.
* Execution by Hanging.

Execution shall be considered an extraordinary punishment and shall not automatically follow conviction for a Capital Offense.

=== Non-Judicial Punishment ===
Non-Judicial Punishment is intended to resolve minor disciplinary matters without requiring a Court Martial.

It may be administered by authorized NCOs and Officers.

Punishment must remain proportional to the offense and may not be unusually cruel, dangerous, or arbitrarily imposed.

Non-Judicial Punishment may include:

* Verbal reprimand.
* Written reprimand.
* Forfeiture of Pay.
* Extra Duty.
* Physical Training.
* Diminished Rations where medically safe.
* Confinement to Base.
* Confinement to Quarters.
* Temporary Confinement to Brig.
* Temporary restriction from certain duties.
* Temporary confiscation of issued equipment.
* Loss of Rank with approval from a Lieutenant or higher.

Officers and NCOs may create other reasonable disciplinary measures where appropriate.

== Criminals and Prisoners of War ==
Individuals held by the NCRA generally fall into one of three categories:

* Criminal.
* Military Detainee.
* Prisoner of War.

=== Criminals ===
Criminals are persons not acting as members of a military organization presently in a state of war with the NCR who are reasonably believed to have committed an offense against NCR law.

This may include persons who have:

* Broken NCR law inside NCR-controlled territory.
* Committed terrorism against NCR citizens or personnel.
* Deliberately undermined NCR military operations.
* Destroyed NCR property.
* Stolen NCR property.
* Attacked NCR citizens or military personnel.

Criminals shall be treated humanely.

They shall be provided reasonable access to:

* Food.
* Water.
* Clothing.
* Shelter.
* Necessary medical treatment.

Prisoners who remain non-resistant may not be deliberately harmed.

Non-lethal force may be used where reasonably necessary to control resistance or attempted escape.

Lethal force may be used where the prisoner creates an immediate threat of serious injury or death.

Prisoners may perform manual or menial labor but may not be deliberately assigned inhumane or lethally hazardous labor.

=== Military Detainees ===
A Military Detainee is a person temporarily held due to an immediate security, operational, investigative, or intelligence concern.

Detention itself is not punishment.

The person's status should be determined by Command or Military Police as soon as reasonably practical.

=== Prisoners of War ===
Prisoners of War are members of an organization, nation, faction, or army presently engaged in hostilities against the NCR.

POWs shall be treated humanely.

They must receive:

* Food.
* Water.
* Shelter.
* Basic clothing.
* Necessary medical treatment.

POWs may be searched, restrained, interrogated, and confined.

Non-lethal force may be used to control resistance or attempted escape.

POWs shall not be:

* Tortured.
* Deliberately starved.
* Used as human shields.
* Deliberately exposed to lethal labor.
* Used to falsely lure hostile personnel into an ambush.
* Arbitrarily executed.

POWs may perform reasonable manual labor.

POWs may not be executed, exchanged, released, or transferred without authorization from the Commander, Acting Commander, High Command, or another authority specifically empowered to authorize such action.

Any Commander ordering an execution, exchange, or transfer for personal, retaliatory, corrupt, or otherwise unlawful reasons may be held criminally responsible.
== List of Offenses ==

=== Misdemeanor (MR) ===
Misdemeanors are crimes or disciplinary violations which generally do not directly or seriously hinder the capabilities of the NCRA.

Misdemeanors normally result in Non-Judicial Punishment with the recommended punishment being physical training (push ups, running, etc) or brief detainment (no more than 10 minutes). Repeated or aggravated Misdemeanors may be elevated to a Major Offense.

'''While Capital Punishment in such cases is permitted,''' it can still be punished in a number of other ways like Demotion or Dishonorable Discharge, at the discretion of the person delivering the punishment.

'''War Crimes are to be considered crimes''' that violate NCRA’s laws of war, target non-NCRA personnel and severely compromise the intended role, objectives and perception of the NCRA.

'''While Capital Punishment in such cases is permitted''' when the punished in question is not an officer, it’s recommended to incarcerate the individual and process them for a trial by the Military Tribunal of the NCRA, especially if the crime was committed by an officer.
{| class="wikitable"
|'''Crime'''
|'''Description'''

== Court Martial ==
Court Martials may be requested by:

* Command personnel.
* Military Police.
* Provost personnel.
* High Command.
* Other authorities empowered by NCR military law.

Court Martials primarily handle serious offenses involving members of the NCRA or NCRR.

Non-military personnel are ordinarily tried through civilian NCR courts rather than Court Martial.

A Court Martial is a formal proceeding and should not be treated as an instantaneous punishment.

An accused person should be informed of:

* The charges against them.
* The evidence being presented.
* The nature of the proceeding.

Where reasonably possible, the accused shall be allowed to:

* Give their account.
* Present evidence.
* Call witnesses.
* Challenge accusations.
* Request representation.

Temporary detention while awaiting Court Martial is not itself a criminal punishment.

== Military Police and Provost Investigations ==
Military Police may detain personnel where reasonable grounds exist to believe an offense has occurred.

Major investigations should preserve:

* Witness testimony.
* Physical evidence.
* Medical evidence.
* Relevant radio recordings.
* Written orders.
* Official reports.
* Applicable chain-of-command information.

Provost personnel may assume or supervise investigations involving:

* (Senior) Officers.
* Military Police.
* Treason.
* Espionage.
* Sabotage.
* Terrorism.
* War Crimes.
* Corruption.
* Serious Abuse of Authority.
* Conflicts of interest within the local chain of command.

No Officer may terminate a lawful Provost investigation merely because the investigation concerns themselves or personnel under their command.

== Executions ==
Execution is an extraordinary punishment and shall be used sparingly. Execution remains subject to applicable server rules concerning [[Rules|Round Removal]]. Execution must possess substantial In-Character justification.

Personnel should not be executed merely because:

* They are personally disliked.
* They insulted Command.
* They attempted escape.
* Their continued detention is inconvenient.
* They committed a minor offense.
* A superior wishes to punish them quickly.

Where reasonably possible, Military Police are expected to attempt continued detention before determining that execution is necessary.

This may include:

* Increased restraint.
* Solitary confinement.
* Relocation.
* Increased guard.
* Removal of dangerous equipment.

Military Police may carry out emergency execution where a prisoner has become genuinely impossible to safely detain and presents a continuing serious threat.

Execution may also occur under extraordinary circumstances with approval from the Commander or High Command.

All executions require a postmortem report to High Command.

At minimum, the report shall state:

* Identity of the executed individual.
* Date and approximate time.
* Location.
* Offenses or circumstances.
* Authority ordering or approving execution.
* Method of execution.
* Personnel involved.

== Dress Code ==
All on-duty personnel are expected to follow NCRA uniform regulations.

Personnel shall wear the appropriate uniform:

* While on duty.
* While on post.
* During military operations.
* While formally representing the NCRA.

Personnel may not substantially alter or remove their uniform without authorization from the Commander or Acting Commander unless emergency circumstances reasonably require it.

Every soldier shall be provided the appropriate uniform for their rank and specialization where supplies permit.

The Commander may authorize modifications due to:

* Combat conditions.
* Weather.
* Medical requirements.
* Operational necessity.
* Equipment limitations.

Personnel shall remain reasonably identifiable as members of the NCRA unless participation in an authorized covert operation requires otherwise.

Once exceptional conditions cease, ordinary uniform regulations shall resume.

== Hair ==
Hair shall be reasonably groomed.

Hair may extend beyond the shoulder blades where it can be secured in a ponytail, braid, or bun and does not interfere with military equipment.

Hair shall not interfere with:

* Helmets.
* Covers.
* Gas masks.
* Respirators.
* Communications equipment.
* Other protective equipment.

Hair shall ordinarily remain a natural human color. Dyes, tints, or bleach may be used where the resulting color remains reasonably natural. Unnatural colors may be prohibited where they materially detract from identification or professional military appearance.

Helmets and covers may be removed indoors where appropriate.

== Hygiene ==
Military personnel shall maintain reasonable personal hygiene whenever conditions allow.

Personnel are expected to remove or clean:

* Excessive body odor.
* Dirt.
* Blood.
* Vomit.
* Chemical contaminants.
* Other substances which create a hygiene or medical concern.

Personnel returning directly from combat, field operations, medical emergencies, or similarly demanding circumstances shall be given reasonable opportunity to clean themselves before disciplinary action is considered.

◈ Chemistry ◈ Reagents, Recipes & Equipment ◈
</div>

The Wasteland runs on chemistry. Whether you're synthesizing stimpaks in a field camp, cooking jet in a condemned factory, or grinding herbs into healing powder with a makeshift mortar, understanding the underlying reagent system is what separates a skilled survivor from someone who dies in a chem cloud they made themselves. This page covers every reagent, recipe, and piece of equipment in the game.

__TOC__

== Raw Ingredients ==
Most chemistry starts with raw materials gathered from the environment — plants, creature parts, or salvaged industrial products. These cannot usually be consumed directly; they're inputs to reactions.

=== Plant Materials ===
Plants are harvested or purchased. Their extracts are the backbone of most healing recipes.

---

== Combat Chems ==
Combat chems provide powerful temporary bonuses but carry '''addiction risk'''. Continued use builds dependency. Stopping use triggers '''withdrawal'''. See the [[#Addiction System|Addiction System]] section for full details.

|}

'''Overdose rule:''' Overdose can push you to '''critical but never kills you directly'''. Damage scales with excess concentration at 0.05 per excess unit above threshold. Taking two high-dose chems simultaneously is extremely dangerous.

---

== Addiction System ==
Using combat chems builds chemical dependency over time. After '''4 exposures''' to the same drug (with at least 15 seconds between each dose counted as a new exposure), full addiction sets in. When the drug wears off, '''withdrawal''' begins. Fixer suppresses withdrawal symptoms temporarily.

=== Withdrawal Tiers ===
Withdrawal severity depends on how long ago the drug wore off. The system checks every 5 seconds and updates tier messaging.

{| class="wikitable" style="background:#141414; color:#d0d0d0; border:1px solid #aa44aa; width:80%;"
! style="background:#14080a; color:#cc77cc; padding:6px; width:22%;" | Tier
! style="background:#14080a; color:#cc77cc; padding:6px; width:22%;" | Time Remaining
! style="background:#14080a; color:#cc77cc; padding:6px;" | Symptoms
|-
| style="color:#ff6666; font-weight:bold;" | Severe || > 120 seconds || Maximum speed penalty, stamina drain, health damage, mood effects
|-
| '''Moderate''' || 60 – 120 seconds || Reduced penalties, still noticeable performance impact
|-
| '''Mild''' || 15 – 60 seconds || Minor penalties — the worst has passed
|-
| style="color:#88cc88;" | '''Fading''' || < 15 seconds || Nearly clean. Hold on.
|}

Withdrawal effects tick every '''15 seconds''' and include:
* '''Speed penalties''' — movement speed reduced per drug (0.70× to 0.90×)
* '''Stamina drain''' — stamina depletes faster (2.0 to 8.0 per tick)
* '''Health damage''' — some drugs cause direct Brute or Poison damage during withdrawal
* '''Mood effects''' — negative mood modifiers until clean

=== Multi-Drug Withdrawal Priority ===
If addicted to multiple drugs simultaneously, the system applies the '''most punishing''' values across all active withdrawals:
* Speed penalty: '''lowest multiplier''' (most punishing) wins
* Stamina drain: '''highest value''' wins
* Health damage: '''highest value''' wins
* Mood effect: first-applied drug's mood wins

=== Suppression ===
Taking a '''Fixer''' pill suppresses all withdrawal symptoms for '''30 seconds''' (scales with Fixer quantity). Suppression does not cure addiction — it only pauses symptoms. The addiction timer continues counting down while suppressed. You need to take Fixer repeatedly to stay functional until the addiction expires naturally.

=== RadAway Inhaler Assembly ===
The refillable RadAway inhaler is assembled in multiple steps:
# '''Craft an empty Jet Inhaler''' at a lathe (100 Plastic)
# '''Craft an empty RadAway Phial''' at a lathe (100 Glass) and fill it with 30u RadAway
# '''Attach the filled Phial to the Inhaler''' (2 second assembly, requires screwdriver)
# '''Seal with screwdriver''' (2 second assembly)

The completed inhaler dispenses '''10u RadAway per puff''' (3 puffs before the phial empties). The phial can be removed and refilled.

=== Chemical Dispenser ===
A powered machine that synthesizes and dispenses elemental reagents directly into beakers. Requires a working APC connection.

Sssaaagggeee: Med-x recipe

<div style="background:#14080a; border-top:3px solid #aa44aa; border-bottom:3px solid #aa44aa; padding:8px 14px; margin-bottom:1.2em; font-family:monospace; color:#cc77cc; text-align:center; letter-spacing:3px; text-transform:uppercase; font-size:0.8em;">
◈ Chemistry ◈ Reagents, Recipes & Equipment ◈
</div>

The Wasteland runs on chemistry. Whether you're synthesizing stimpaks in a field camp, cooking jet in a condemned factory, or grinding herbs into healing powder with a makeshift mortar, understanding the underlying reagent system is what separates a skilled survivor from someone who dies in a chem cloud they made themselves. This page covers every reagent, recipe, and piece of equipment in the game.

__TOC__

== Raw Ingredients ==
Most chemistry starts with raw materials gathered from the environment — plants, creature parts, or salvaged industrial products. These cannot usually be consumed directly; they're inputs to reactions.

=== Plant Materials ===
Plants are harvested or purchased. Their extracts are the backbone of most healing recipes.

|}

'''Overdose rule:''' Overdose can push you to '''critical but never kills you directly'''. Damage scales with excess concentration at 0.05 per excess unit above threshold. Taking two high-dose chems simultaneously is extremely dangerous.

---

== Addiction System ==
Using combat chems builds chemical dependency over time. After '''4 exposures''' to the same drug (with at least 15 seconds between each dose counted as a new exposure), full addiction sets in. When the drug wears off, '''withdrawal''' begins. Fixer suppresses withdrawal symptoms temporarily.

=== Withdrawal Tiers ===
Withdrawal severity depends on how long ago the drug wore off. The system checks every 5 seconds and updates tier messaging.

{| class="wikitable" style="background:#141414; color:#d0d0d0; border:1px solid #aa44aa; width:80%;"
! style="background:#14080a; color:#cc77cc; padding:6px; width:22%;" | Tier
! style="background:#14080a; color:#cc77cc; padding:6px; width:22%;" | Time Remaining
! style="background:#14080a; color:#cc77cc; padding:6px;" | Symptoms
|-
| style="color:#ff6666; font-weight:bold;" | Severe || > 120 seconds || Maximum speed penalty, stamina drain, health damage, mood effects
|-
| '''Moderate''' || 60 – 120 seconds || Reduced penalties, still noticeable performance impact
|-
| '''Mild''' || 15 – 60 seconds || Minor penalties — the worst has passed
|-
| style="color:#88cc88;" | '''Fading''' || < 15 seconds || Nearly clean. Hold on.
|}

Withdrawal effects tick every '''15 seconds''' and include:
* '''Speed penalties''' — movement speed reduced per drug (0.70× to 0.90×)
* '''Stamina drain''' — stamina depletes faster (2.0 to 8.0 per tick)
* '''Health damage''' — some drugs cause direct Brute or Poison damage during withdrawal
* '''Mood effects''' — negative mood modifiers until clean

=== Multi-Drug Withdrawal Priority ===
If addicted to multiple drugs simultaneously, the system applies the '''most punishing''' values across all active withdrawals:
* Speed penalty: '''lowest multiplier''' (most punishing) wins
* Stamina drain: '''highest value''' wins
* Health damage: '''highest value''' wins
* Mood effect: first-applied drug's mood wins

=== Suppression ===
Taking a '''Fixer''' pill suppresses all withdrawal symptoms for '''30 seconds''' (scales with Fixer quantity). Suppression does not cure addiction — it only pauses symptoms. The addiction timer continues counting down while suppressed. You need to take Fixer repeatedly to stay functional until the addiction expires naturally.

=== Mortar & Pestle ===
Crafted from '''2× Wood Planks''' (5 second assembly). Used to grind plant materials into '''Healing Powder''' and other tribal remedies without a chemistry lab. Essential for Legion and tribal factions who lack access to medical equipment.

=== RadAway Inhaler Assembly ===
The refillable RadAway inhaler is assembled in multiple steps:
# '''Craft an empty Jet Inhaler''' at a lathe (100 Plastic)
# '''Craft an empty RadAway Phial''' at a lathe (100 Glass) and fill it with 30u RadAway
# '''Attach the filled Phial to the Inhaler''' (2 second assembly, requires screwdriver)
# '''Seal with screwdriver''' (2 second assembly)

The completed inhaler dispenses '''10u RadAway per puff''' (3 puffs before the phial empties). The phial can be removed and refilled.

=== Chemical Dispenser ===
A powered machine that synthesizes and dispenses elemental reagents directly into beakers. Requires a working APC connection.

All on-duty personnel are expected to wear the proper NCRA uniform while conducting military operations or performing military duties unless otherwise authorized by Command.

Failure to comply with these standards may result in Judicial or Non-Judicial Punishment.

All members of the NCRA may be tried by Court Martial for sufficiently serious offenses.

== Articles of Command ==
'''Article 1 - Lawful Authority'''

All personnel shall obey lawful orders issued by Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers, Military Police, Provost personnel, or any other person properly empowered by NCR law or military regulation.

An order requiring personnel to knowingly commit an unlawful act shall not be considered lawful.

Personnel are not required to obey an unlawful order.

'''Article 2 - Individual Responsibility'''

Rank does not excuse criminal conduct.

Personnel who issue an unlawful order may be charged with:

* The offense resulting from that order.
* Abuse of Authority.
* Any other applicable offense.

Personnel who knowingly carry out an obviously unlawful order may also be held responsible.

'''Article 3 - Attempt, Conspiracy, and Assistance'''

Attempting to commit an offense, conspiring to commit an offense, knowingly assisting another person in committing an offense, or deliberately concealing participation in an offense may be punished under the same category as the attempted offense.

Punishment should take into consideration whether the offense was successfully completed.

'''Article 4 - Command Responsibility'''

Officers and NCOs are responsible for maintaining discipline among personnel under their authority.

Command personnel who knowingly permit serious criminal conduct and fail to reasonably prevent, stop, or report that conduct may be charged with '''Neglect of Duty''', '''Abuse of Authority''', or another appropriate offense.

'''Article 5 - Military Necessity'''

Command authority may be expanded during combat, emergencies, attacks upon NCR installations, or other extraordinary circumstances.
Military necessity does not authorize:

* Torture.
* Arbitrary execution.
* Personal retaliation.
* Theft for personal gain.
* Deliberate attacks against protected civilians.
* Obviously unlawful orders.

== Chain of Command ==

=== Army Chain of Command ===
The Army Chain of Command determines who holds general authority over the battalion.

Command shall normally pass to the highest-ranking appropriate member of the chain of command.

Where no normal Commanding Officer is available, an appropriately senior member of the Military Police, Medical Department, or Ranger detachment may temporarily assume the position of '''Acting Commander''' where necessary for continued operation of the installation.

'''Military Police''' authority does not exempt MPs from the COMJ.

Abuse of '''MP''' authority may be treated as an aggravating circumstance.

== Code of Military Justice (COMJ) ==
Punishment under the COMJ is separated into '''Judicial Punishment''' and '''Non-Judicial Punishment'''.

=== Judicial Punishment ===
Judicial Punishment is imposed following conviction during a Court Martial or Military Tribunal.

It is generally reserved for Major, Capital, and War Crime offenses.

Judicial punishments may include:

* Loss of Rank.
* Forfeiture of Pay.
* Removal from Command.
* Other Than Honorable Discharge.
* Dishonorable Discharge.
* Barred from reenlistment.
* Long-term imprisonment.
* Hard labor.
* Execution by Firing Squad.
* Execution by Hanging.

Execution shall be considered an extraordinary punishment and shall not automatically follow conviction for a Capital Offense.

=== Non-Judicial Punishment ===
Non-Judicial Punishment is intended to resolve minor disciplinary matters without requiring a Court Martial.

It may be administered by authorized NCOs and Officers.

Punishment must remain proportional to the offense and may not be unusually cruel, dangerous, or arbitrarily imposed.

Non-Judicial Punishment may include:

* Verbal reprimand.
* Written reprimand.
* Forfeiture of Pay.
* Extra Duty.
* Physical Training.
* Diminished Rations where medically safe.
* Confinement to Base.
* Confinement to Quarters.
* Temporary Confinement to Brig.
* Temporary restriction from certain duties.
* Temporary confiscation of issued equipment.
* Loss of Rank with approval from a Lieutenant or higher.

Officers and NCOs may create other reasonable disciplinary measures where appropriate.

== Criminals and Prisoners of War ==
Individuals held by the NCRA generally fall into one of three categories:

* Criminal.
* Military Detainee.
* Prisoner of War.

=== Criminals ===
Criminals are persons not acting as members of a military organization presently in a state of war with the NCR who are reasonably believed to have committed an offense against NCR law.

This may include persons who have:

* Broken NCR law inside NCR-controlled territory.
* Committed terrorism against NCR citizens or personnel.
* Deliberately undermined NCR military operations.
* Destroyed NCR property.
* Stolen NCR property.
* Attacked NCR citizens or military personnel.

Criminals shall be treated humanely.

They shall be provided reasonable access to:

* Food.
* Water.
* Clothing.
* Shelter.
* Necessary medical treatment.

Prisoners who remain non-resistant may not be deliberately harmed.

Non-lethal force may be used where reasonably necessary to control resistance or attempted escape.

Lethal force may be used where the prisoner creates an immediate threat of serious injury or death.

Prisoners may perform manual or menial labor but may not be deliberately assigned inhumane or lethally hazardous labor.

=== Military Detainees ===
A Military Detainee is a person temporarily held due to an immediate security, operational, investigative, or intelligence concern.

Detention itself is not punishment.

The person's status should be determined by Command or Military Police as soon as reasonably practical.

=== Prisoners of War ===
Prisoners of War are members of an organization, nation, faction, or army presently engaged in hostilities against the NCR.

POWs shall be treated humanely.

They must receive:

* Food.
* Water.
* Shelter.
* Basic clothing.
* Necessary medical treatment.

POWs may be searched, restrained, interrogated, and confined.

Non-lethal force may be used to control resistance or attempted escape.

POWs shall not be:

* Tortured.
* Deliberately starved.
* Used as human shields.
* Deliberately exposed to lethal labor.
* Used to falsely lure hostile personnel into an ambush.
* Arbitrarily executed.

POWs may perform reasonable manual labor.

POWs may not be executed, exchanged, released, or transferred without authorization from the Commander, Acting Commander, High Command, or another authority specifically empowered to authorize such action.

Any Commander ordering an execution, exchange, or transfer for personal, retaliatory, corrupt, or otherwise unlawful reasons may be held criminally responsible.
== List of Offenses ==

=== Misdemeanor (MR) ===
Misdemeanors are crimes or disciplinary violations which generally do not directly or seriously hinder the capabilities of the NCRA.

Misdemeanors normally result in Non-Judicial Punishment with the recommended punishment being physical training (push ups, running, etc) or brief detainment (no more than 10 minutes). Repeated or aggravated Misdemeanors may be elevated to a Major Offense.

|}

== Court Martial ==
Court Martials may be requested by:

* Command personnel.
* Military Police.
* Provost personnel.
* High Command.
* Other authorities empowered by NCR military law.

Court Martials primarily handle serious offenses involving members of the NCRA or NCRR.

Non-military personnel are ordinarily tried through civilian NCR courts rather than Court Martial.

A Court Martial is a formal proceeding and should not be treated as an instantaneous punishment.

An accused person should be informed of:

* The charges against them.
* The evidence being presented.
* The nature of the proceeding.

Where reasonably possible, the accused shall be allowed to:

* Give their account.
* Present evidence.
* Call witnesses.
* Challenge accusations.
* Request representation.

Temporary detention while awaiting Court Martial is not itself a criminal punishment.

== Military Police and Provost Investigations ==
Military Police may detain personnel where reasonable grounds exist to believe an offense has occurred.

Major investigations should preserve:

* Witness testimony.
* Physical evidence.
* Medical evidence.
* Relevant radio recordings.
* Written orders.
* Official reports.
* Applicable chain-of-command information.

Provost personnel may assume or supervise investigations involving:

* (Senior) Officers.
* Military Police.
* Treason.
* Espionage.
* Sabotage.
* Terrorism.
* War Crimes.
* Corruption.
* Serious Abuse of Authority.
* Conflicts of interest within the local chain of command.

No Officer may terminate a lawful Provost investigation merely because the investigation concerns themselves or personnel under their command.

== Executions ==
Execution is an extraordinary punishment and shall be used sparingly. Execution remains subject to applicable server rules concerning [[Rules|Round Removal]]. Execution must possess substantial In-Character justification.

Personnel should not be executed merely because:

* They are personally disliked.
* They insulted Command.
* They attempted escape.
* Their continued detention is inconvenient.
* They committed a minor offense.
* A superior wishes to punish them quickly.

Where reasonably possible, Military Police are expected to attempt continued detention before determining that execution is necessary.

This may include:

* Increased restraint.
* Solitary confinement.
* Relocation.
* Increased guard.
* Removal of dangerous equipment.

Military Police may carry out emergency execution where a prisoner has become genuinely impossible to safely detain and presents a continuing serious threat.

Execution may also occur under extraordinary circumstances with approval from the Commander or High Command.

All executions require a postmortem report to High Command.

At minimum, the report shall state:

* Identity of the executed individual.
* Date and approximate time.
* Location.
* Offenses or circumstances.
* Authority ordering or approving execution.
* Method of execution.
* Personnel involved.

== Dress Code ==
All on-duty personnel are expected to follow NCRA uniform regulations.

Personnel shall wear the appropriate uniform:

* While on duty.
* While on post.
* During military operations.
* While formally representing the NCRA.

Personnel may not substantially alter or remove their uniform without authorization from the Commander or Acting Commander unless emergency circumstances reasonably require it.

Every soldier shall be provided the appropriate uniform for their rank and specialization where supplies permit.

The Commander may authorize modifications due to:

* Combat conditions.
* Weather.
* Medical requirements.
* Operational necessity.
* Equipment limitations.

Personnel shall remain reasonably identifiable as members of the NCRA unless participation in an authorized covert operation requires otherwise.

Once exceptional conditions cease, ordinary uniform regulations shall resume.

== Hair ==
Hair shall be reasonably groomed.

Hair may extend beyond the shoulder blades where it can be secured in a ponytail, braid, or bun and does not interfere with military equipment.

Hair shall not interfere with:

* Helmets.
* Covers.
* Gas masks.
* Respirators.
* Communications equipment.
* Other protective equipment.

Hair shall ordinarily remain a natural human color. Dyes, tints, or bleach may be used where the resulting color remains reasonably natural. Unnatural colors may be prohibited where they materially detract from identification or professional military appearance.

Helmets and covers may be removed indoors where appropriate.

== Hygiene ==
Military personnel shall maintain reasonable personal hygiene whenever conditions allow.

Personnel are expected to remove or clean:

* Excessive body odor.
* Dirt.
* Blood.
* Vomit.
* Chemical contaminants.
* Other substances which create a hygiene or medical concern.

Personnel returning directly from combat, field operations, medical emergencies, or similarly demanding circumstances shall be given reasonable opportunity to clean themselves before disciplinary action is considered.

== Articles of Command ==
'''Article 1 - Lawful Authority'''

All personnel shall obey lawful orders issued by Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers, Military Police, Provost personnel, or any other person properly empowered by NCR law or military regulation.

An order requiring personnel to knowingly commit an unlawful act shall not be considered lawful.

Personnel are not required to obey an unlawful order.

'''Article 2 - Individual Responsibility'''

Rank does not excuse criminal conduct.

Personnel who issue an unlawful order may be charged with:

* The offense resulting from that order.
* Abuse of Authority.
* Any other applicable offense.

Personnel who knowingly carry out an obviously unlawful order may also be held responsible.

'''Article 3 - Attempt, Conspiracy, and Assistance'''

Attempting to commit an offense, conspiring to commit an offense, knowingly assisting another person in committing an offense, or deliberately concealing participation in an offense may be punished under the same category as the attempted offense.

Punishment should take into consideration whether the offense was successfully completed.

'''Article 4 - Command Responsibility'''

Officers and NCOs are responsible for maintaining discipline among personnel under their authority.

Command personnel who knowingly permit serious criminal conduct and fail to reasonably prevent, stop, or report that conduct may be charged with '''Neglect of Duty''', '''Abuse of Authority''', or another appropriate offense.

'''Article 5 - Military Necessity'''

Command authority may be expanded during combat, emergencies, attacks upon NCR installations, or other extraordinary circumstances.
Military necessity does not authorize:

* Torture.
* Arbitrary execution.
* Personal retaliation.
* Theft for personal gain.
* Deliberate attacks against protected civilians.
* Obviously unlawful orders.

== Chain of Command ==

=== Army Chain of Command ===
The Army Chain of Command determines who holds general authority over the battalion.

'''Military Police''' authority does not exempt MPs from the COMJ.

Abuse of '''MP''' authority may be treated as an aggravating circumstance.

== Code of Military Justice (COMJ) ==
Punishment under the COMJ is separated into '''Judicial Punishment''' and '''Non-Judicial Punishment'''.

=== Judicial Punishment ===
Judicial Punishment is imposed following conviction during a Court Martial or Military Tribunal.

It is generally reserved for Major, Capital, and War Crime offenses.

Judicial punishments may include:

* Loss of Rank.
* Forfeiture of Pay.
* Removal from Command.
* Other Than Honorable Discharge.
* Dishonorable Discharge.
* Barred from reenlistment.
* Long-term imprisonment.
* Hard labor.
* Execution by Firing Squad.
* Execution by Hanging.

Execution shall be considered an extraordinary punishment and shall not automatically follow conviction for a Capital Offense.

=== Non-Judicial Punishment ===
Non-Judicial Punishment is intended to resolve minor disciplinary matters without requiring a Court Martial.

It may be administered by authorized NCOs and Officers.

Punishment must remain proportional to the offense and may not be unusually cruel, dangerous, or arbitrarily imposed.

Non-Judicial Punishment may include:

* Verbal reprimand.
* Written reprimand.
* Forfeiture of Pay.
* Extra Duty.
* Physical Training.
* Diminished Rations where medically safe.
* Confinement to Base.
* Confinement to Quarters.
* Temporary Confinement to Brig.
* Temporary restriction from certain duties.
* Temporary confiscation of issued equipment.
* Loss of Rank with approval from a Lieutenant or higher.

Officers and NCOs may create other reasonable disciplinary measures where appropriate.

== Criminals and Prisoners of War ==
Individuals held by the NCRA generally fall into one of three categories:

* Criminal.
* Military Detainee.
* Prisoner of War.

=== Criminals ===
Criminals are persons not acting as members of a military organization presently in a state of war with the NCR who are reasonably believed to have committed an offense against NCR law.

This may include persons who have:

* Broken NCR law inside NCR-controlled territory.

Prisoners who remain non-resistant may not be deliberately harmed.

Non-lethal force may be used where reasonably necessary to control resistance or attempted escape.

Lethal force may be used where the prisoner creates an immediate threat of serious injury or death.

Prisoners may perform manual or menial labor but may not be deliberately assigned inhumane or lethally hazardous labor.

=== Military Detainees ===
A Military Detainee is a person temporarily held due to an immediate security, operational, investigative, or intelligence concern.

Detention itself is not punishment.

The person's status should be determined by Command or Military Police as soon as reasonably practical.

=== Prisoners of War ===
Prisoners of War are members of an organization, nation, faction, or army presently engaged in hostilities against the NCR.

POWs shall be treated humanely.

They must receive:

* Food.
* Water.

POWs may not be executed, exchanged, released, or transferred without authorization from the Commander, Acting Commander, High Command, or another authority specifically empowered to authorize such action.

Any Commander ordering an execution, exchange, or transfer for personal, retaliatory, corrupt, or otherwise unlawful reasons may be held criminally responsible.
== List of Offenses ==

=== Misdemeanor (MR) ===
Misdemeanors are crimes or disciplinary violations which generally do not directly or seriously hinder the capabilities of the NCRA.

Misdemeanors normally result in Non-Judicial Punishment. Repeated or aggravated Misdemeanors may be elevated to a Major Offense.

== Court Martial ==
Court Martials may be requested by:

* Command personnel.
* Military Police.
* Provost personnel.
* High Command.
* Other authorities empowered by NCR military law.

Court Martials primarily handle serious offenses involving members of the NCRA or NCRR.

Non-military personnel are ordinarily tried through civilian NCR courts rather than Court Martial.

A Court Martial is a formal proceeding and should not be treated as an instantaneous punishment.

An accused person should be informed of:

* The charges against them.
* The evidence being presented.
* The nature of the proceeding.

Where reasonably possible, the accused shall be allowed to:

* Give their account.
* Present evidence.
* Call witnesses.
* Challenge accusations.
* Request representation.

Temporary detention while awaiting Court Martial is not itself a criminal punishment.

== Military Police and Provost Investigations ==
Military Police may detain personnel where reasonable grounds exist to believe an offense has occurred.

Major investigations should preserve:

* Witness testimony.
* Physical evidence.
* Medical evidence.
* Relevant radio recordings.
* Written orders.
* Official reports.
* Applicable chain-of-command information.

Provost personnel may assume or supervise investigations involving:

* (Senior) Officers.
* Military Police.
* Treason.
* Espionage.
* Sabotage.
* Terrorism.
* War Crimes.
* Corruption.
* Serious Abuse of Authority.
* Conflicts of interest within the local chain of command.

No Officer may terminate a lawful Provost investigation merely because the investigation concerns themselves or personnel under their command.

== Executions ==
Execution is an extraordinary punishment and shall be used sparingly. Execution remains subject to applicable server rules concerning [[Rules|Round Removal]]. Execution must possess substantial In-Character justification.

Personnel should not be executed merely because:

* They are personally disliked.
* They insulted Command.
* They attempted escape.
* Their continued detention is inconvenient.
* They committed a minor offense.
* A superior wishes to punish them quickly.

Where reasonably possible, Military Police are expected to attempt continued detention before determining that execution is necessary.

This may include:

* Increased restraint.
* Solitary confinement.
* Relocation.
* Increased guard.
* Removal of dangerous equipment.

Military Police may carry out emergency execution where a prisoner has become genuinely impossible to safely detain and presents a continuing serious threat.

Execution may also occur under extraordinary circumstances with approval from the Commander or High Command.

All executions require a postmortem report to High Command.

At minimum, the report shall state:

* Identity of the executed individual.
* Date and approximate time.
* Location.
* Offenses or circumstances.
* Authority ordering or approving execution.
* Method of execution.
* Personnel involved.

== Dress Code ==
All on-duty personnel are expected to follow NCRA uniform regulations.

Personnel shall wear the appropriate uniform:

* While on duty.
* While on post.
* During military operations.
* While formally representing the NCRA.

Personnel may not substantially alter or remove their uniform without authorization from the Commander or Acting Commander unless emergency circumstances reasonably require it.

Every soldier shall be provided the appropriate uniform for their rank and specialization where supplies permit.

The Commander may authorize modifications due to:

* Combat conditions.
* Weather.
* Medical requirements.
* Operational necessity.
* Equipment limitations.

Personnel shall remain reasonably identifiable as members of the NCRA unless participation in an authorized covert operation requires otherwise.

Once exceptional conditions cease, ordinary uniform regulations shall resume.

== Hair ==
Hair shall be reasonably groomed.

Hair may extend beyond the shoulder blades where it can be secured in a ponytail, braid, or bun and does not interfere with military equipment.

Hair shall not interfere with:

* Helmets.
* Covers.
* Gas masks.
* Respirators.
* Communications equipment.
* Other protective equipment.

Hair shall ordinarily remain a natural human color. Dyes, tints, or bleach may be used where the resulting color remains reasonably natural. Unnatural colors may be prohibited where they materially detract from identification or professional military appearance.

Helmets and covers may be removed indoors where appropriate.

== Hygiene ==
Military personnel shall maintain reasonable personal hygiene whenever conditions allow.

Personnel are expected to remove or clean:

* Excessive body odor.
* Dirt.
* Blood.
* Vomit.
* Chemical contaminants.
* Other substances which create a hygiene or medical concern.

Personnel returning directly from combat, field operations, medical emergencies, or similarly demanding circumstances shall be given reasonable opportunity to clean themselves before disciplinary action is considered.

New California Republic Military Code

2026-08-20T01:06:31Z

Sssaaagggeee:

== Expectation of Conduct ==
All service members of the NCRA are expected to uphold the principles stated in their oath of enlistment or commissioning.

* To bear allegiance to the New California Republic and its Constitution.
* To support and defend the New California Republic against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
* To obey all lawful orders of the President of the New California Republic and all lawful orders issued by superior officers.
* To preserve the good order, discipline, and reputation of the New California Republic Army.
* To protect NCR citizens and property where reasonably possible.

All personnel, whether on or off duty, are expected to obey the laws of the New California Republic.

This includes prohibitions against:

* Slavery.
* Unlawful gambling.
* Drug abuse.
* Public intoxication.
* Disorderly conduct.
* Theft.
* Unlawful violence.
* Cooperation with hostile forces.

All on-duty personnel are expected to wear the proper NCRA uniform while conducting military operations or performing military duties unless otherwise authorized by Command.

Failure to comply with these standards may result in Judicial or Non-Judicial Punishment.

All members of the NCRA may be tried by Court Martial for sufficiently serious offenses.

== Articles of Command ==
'''Article 1 - Lawful Authority'''

All personnel shall obey lawful orders issued by Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers, Military Police, Provost personnel, or any other person properly empowered by NCR law or military regulation.

An order requiring personnel to knowingly commit an unlawful act shall not be considered lawful.

Personnel are not required to obey an unlawful order.
----'''Article 2 - Individual Responsibility'''

Rank does not excuse criminal conduct.

Personnel who issue an unlawful order may be charged with:

* The offense resulting from that order.
* Abuse of Authority.
* Any other applicable offense.

Personnel who knowingly carry out an obviously unlawful order may also be held responsible.
----'''Article 3 - Attempt, Conspiracy, and Assistance'''

Attempting to commit an offense, conspiring to commit an offense, knowingly assisting another person in committing an offense, or deliberately concealing participation in an offense may be punished under the same category as the attempted offense.

Punishment should take into consideration whether the offense was successfully completed.
----'''Article 4 - Command Responsibility'''

Officers and NCOs are responsible for maintaining discipline among personnel under their authority.

Command personnel who knowingly permit serious criminal conduct and fail to reasonably prevent, stop, or report that conduct may be charged with '''Neglect of Duty''', '''Abuse of Authority''', or another appropriate offense.
----'''Article 5 - Military Necessity'''
Command authority may be expanded during combat, emergencies, attacks upon NCR installations, or other extraordinary circumstances.
Military necessity does not authorize:

* Torture.
* Arbitrary execution.
* Personal retaliation.
* Theft for personal gain.
* Deliberate attacks against protected civilians.
* Obviously unlawful orders.

== Chain of Command ==

=== Army Chain of Command ===
The Army Chain of Command determines who holds general authority over the battalion.

Command shall normally pass to the highest-ranking appropriate member of the chain of command.

Where no normal Command Officer is available, an appropriately senior member of the Military Police, Medical Department, or Ranger detachment may temporarily assume the position of '''Acting Commander''' where necessary for continued operation of the installation.

Temporary assumption of Command does not permanently confer additional rank.

=== Medical Chain of Command ===
The '''Medical Doctor''' possesses authority over medical procedures, treatment priorities, medical safety, and ordinary operation of the medical bay.

Personnel within the medical bay are expected to comply with lawful medical instructions relating to treatment or medical safety.

The Commander retains superior military authority but should not unnecessarily interfere with medical decisions made within the Medical Doctor's professional authority.

Military Police authority does not exempt MPs from the COMJ.

Abuse of MP authority may be treated as an aggravating circumstance.

== Code of Military Justice (COMJ) ==
Punishment under the COMJ is separated into '''Judicial Punishment''' and '''Non-Judicial Punishment'''.

=== Judicial Punishment ===
Judicial Punishment is imposed following conviction during a Court Martial or Military Tribunal.

It is generally reserved for Major, Capital, and War Crime offenses.

Judicial punishments may include:

* Loss of Rank.
* Forfeiture of Pay.
* Removal from Command.
* Other Than Honorable Discharge.
* Dishonorable Discharge.
* Bar from reenlistment.
* Long-term imprisonment.
* Hard labor.
* Execution by Firing Squad.
* Execution by Hanging.

Execution shall be considered an extraordinary punishment and shall not automatically follow conviction for a Capital Offense.

=== Non-Judicial Punishment ===
Non-Judicial Punishment is intended to resolve minor disciplinary matters without requiring a Court Martial.

It may be administered by authorized NCOs and Officers.

Punishment must remain proportional to the offense and may not be unusually cruel, dangerous, or arbitrarily imposed.

Non-Judicial Punishment may include:

* Verbal reprimand.
* Written reprimand.
* Forfeiture of Pay.
* Extra Duty.
* Physical Training.
* Diminished Rations where medically safe.
* Confinement to Base.
* Confinement to Quarters.
* Temporary Confinement to Brig.
* Temporary restriction from certain duties.
* Temporary confiscation of issued equipment.
* Loss of Rank with approval from a Lieutenant or higher.

Officers and NCOs may create other reasonable disciplinary measures where appropriate.

== Criminals and Prisoners of War ==
Individuals held by the NCRA generally fall into one of three categories:

* Criminal.
* Military Detainee.
* Prisoner of War.

=== Criminals ===
Criminals are persons not acting as members of a military organization presently in a state of war with the NCR who are reasonably believed to have committed an offense against NCR law.

This may include persons who have:

* Broken NCR law inside NCR-controlled territory.
* Committed terrorism against NCR citizens or personnel.
* Deliberately undermined NCR military operations.
* Destroyed NCR property.
* Stolen NCR property.
* Attacked NCR citizens or military personnel.

Criminals shall be treated humanely.

They shall be provided reasonable access to:

* Food.
* Water.
* Clothing.
* Shelter.
* Necessary medical treatment.

Prisoners who remain non-resistant may not be deliberately harmed.

Non-lethal force may be used where reasonably necessary to control resistance or attempted escape.

Lethal force may be used where the prisoner creates an immediate threat of serious injury or death.

Prisoners may perform manual or menial labor but may not be deliberately assigned inhumane or lethally hazardous labor.

=== Military Detainees ===
A Military Detainee is a person temporarily held due to an immediate security, operational, investigative, or intelligence concern.

Detention itself is not punishment.

The person's status should be determined by Command or Military Police as soon as reasonably practical.

=== Prisoners of War ===
Prisoners of War are members of an organization, nation, faction, or army presently engaged in hostilities against the NCR.

POWs shall be treated humanely.

They must receive:

* Food.
* Water.
* Shelter.
* Basic clothing.
* Necessary medical treatment.

POWs may be searched, restrained, interrogated, and confined.

Non-lethal force may be used to control resistance or attempted escape.

POWs shall not be:

* Tortured.
* Deliberately starved.
* Used as human shields.
* Deliberately exposed to lethal labor.
* Used to falsely lure hostile personnel into an ambush.
* Arbitrarily executed.

POWs may perform reasonable manual labor.

POWs may not be executed, exchanged, released, or transferred without authorization from the Commander, Acting Commander, High Command, or another authority specifically empowered to authorize such action.

Any Commander ordering an execution, exchange, or transfer for personal, retaliatory, corrupt, or otherwise unlawful reasons may be held criminally responsible.
== List of Offenses ==

=== Misdemeanor (MR) ===
Misdemeanors are crimes or disciplinary violations which generally do not directly or seriously hinder the capabilities of the NCRA.

Misdemeanors normally result in Non-Judicial Punishment. Repeated or aggravated Misdemeanors may be elevated to a Major Offense.

* Espionage.
* Sabotage.
* Terrorism.
* War Crimes.
* Corruption.
* Serious Abuse of Authority.

No Officer may terminate a lawful Provost investigation merely because the investigation concerns themselves or personnel under their command.

== Executions ==
Execution is an extraordinary punishment and shall be used sparingly. Execution remains subject to applicable server rules concerning [[Rules|Round Removal]]. Execution must possess substantial In-Character justification.

Personnel should not be executed merely because:

* They are personally disliked.
* They insulted Command.
* They attempted escape.
* Their continued detention is inconvenient.
* They committed a minor offense.
* A superior wishes to punish them quickly.

Where reasonably possible, Military Police are expected to attempt continued detention before determining that execution is necessary.

This may include:

* Increased restraint.
* Solitary confinement.
* Relocation.
* Increased guard.
* Removal of dangerous equipment.

Military Police may carry out emergency execution where a prisoner has become genuinely impossible to safely detain and presents a continuing serious threat.

Execution may also occur under extraordinary circumstances with approval from the Commander or High Command.

All executions require a post-mortem report to High Command.

At minimum, the report shall state:

* Identity of the executed individual.
* Date and approximate time.
* Location.
* Offenses or circumstances.

== Dress Code ==
All on-duty personnel are expected to follow NCRA uniform regulations.

Personnel shall wear the appropriate uniform:

* While on duty.
* While on post.
* During military operations.
* While formally representing the NCRA.

Personnel may not substantially alter or remove their uniform without authorization from the Commander or Acting Commander unless emergency circumstances reasonably require it.

Every soldier shall be provided the appropriate uniform for their rank and specialization where supplies permit.

The Commander may authorize modifications due to:

* Combat conditions.
* Weather.
* Medical requirements.
* Operational necessity.
* Equipment limitations.

Personnel shall remain reasonably identifiable as members of the NCRA unless participation in an authorized covert operation requires otherwise.

Once exceptional conditions cease, ordinary uniform regulations shall resume.

== Hair ==
Hair shall be reasonably groomed.

Hair may extend beyond the shoulder blades where it can be secured in a ponytail, braid, or bun and does not interfere with military equipment.

Hair shall not interfere with:

* Helmets.
* Covers.
* Gas masks.
* Respirators.
* Communications equipment.
* Other protective equipment.

Hair shall ordinarily remain a natural human color. Dyes, tints, or bleach may be used where the resulting color remains reasonably natural. Unnatural colors may be prohibited where they materially detract from identification or professional military appearance.

Helmets and covers may be removed indoors where appropriate.

== Hygiene ==
Military personnel shall maintain reasonable personal hygiene whenever conditions allow.

Personnel are expected to remove or clean:

* Excessive body odor.
* Dirt.
* Blood.
* Vomit.
* Chemical contaminants.
* Other substances which create a hygiene or medical concern.

Personnel returning directly from combat, field operations, medical emergencies, or similarly demanding circumstances shall be given reasonable opportunity to clean themselves before disciplinary action is considered.

This includes prohibitions against:

* Slavery.
* Unlawful gambling.

* Public intoxication.
* Disorderly conduct.
* Theft.

== Articles of Command ==
'''Article 1 - Lawful Authority'''

All personnel shall obey lawful orders issued by Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers, Military Police, Provost personnel, or any other person properly empowered by NCR law or military regulation.

An order requiring personnel to knowingly commit an unlawful act shall not be considered lawful.

Personnel are not required to obey an unlawful order.
----'''Article 2 - Individual Responsibility'''

Rank does not excuse criminal conduct.

Personnel who issue an unlawful order may be charged with:

* The offense resulting from that order.
* Abuse of Authority.
* Any other applicable offense.

Personnel who knowingly carry out an obviously unlawful order may also be held responsible.
----'''Article 3 - Attempt, Conspiracy, and Assistance'''

Attempting to commit an offense, conspiring to commit an offense, knowingly assisting another person in committing an offense, or deliberately concealing participation in an offense may be punished under the same category as the attempted offense.

Punishment should take into consideration whether the offense was successfully completed.
----'''Article 4 - Command Responsibility'''

Officers and NCOs are responsible for maintaining discipline among personnel under their authority.

Command personnel who knowingly permit serious criminal conduct and fail to reasonably prevent, stop, or report that conduct may be charged with '''Neglect of Duty''', '''Abuse of Authority''', or another appropriate offense.
----'''Article 5 - Military Necessity'''
Command authority may be expanded during combat, emergencies, attacks upon NCR installations, or other extraordinary circumstances.
Military necessity does not authorize:

* Torture.
* Arbitrary execution.
* Personal retaliation.
* Theft for personal gain.
* Deliberate attacks against protected civilians.
* Obviously unlawful orders.

== Chain of Command ==

=== Army Chain of Command ===
The Army Chain of Command determines who holds general authority over the battalion.

Command shall normally pass to the highest-ranking appropriate member of the chain of command.

Where no normal Command Officer is available, an appropriately senior member of the Military Police, Medical Department, or Ranger detachment may temporarily assume the position of '''Acting Commander''' where necessary for continued operation of the installation.

Personnel within the medical bay are expected to comply with lawful medical instructions relating to treatment or medical safety.

The Commander retains superior military authority but should not unnecessarily interfere with medical decisions made within the Medical Doctor's professional authority.

Military Police authority does not exempt MPs from the COMJ.

Abuse of MP authority may be treated as an aggravating circumstance.

== Code of Military Justice (COMJ) ==
Punishment under the COMJ is separated into '''Judicial Punishment''' and '''Non-Judicial Punishment'''.

=== Judicial Punishment ===
Judicial Punishment is imposed following conviction during a Court Martial or Military Tribunal.

It is generally reserved for Major, Capital, and War Crime offenses.

Judicial punishments may include:

* Loss of Rank.
* Forfeiture of Pay.
* Removal from Command.
* Other Than Honorable Discharge.
* Dishonorable Discharge.
* Bar from reenlistment.
* Long-term imprisonment.
* Hard labor.
* Execution by Firing Squad.
* Execution by Hanging.

Execution shall be considered an extraordinary punishment and shall not automatically follow conviction for a Capital Offense.

=== Non-Judicial Punishment ===
Non-Judicial Punishment is intended to resolve minor disciplinary matters without requiring a Court Martial.

It may be administered by authorized NCOs and Officers.

Punishment must remain proportional to the offense and may not be unusually cruel, dangerous, or arbitrarily imposed.

Non-Judicial Punishment may include:

* Verbal reprimand.
* Written reprimand.
* Forfeiture of Pay.
* Extra Duty.
* Physical Training.
* Diminished Rations where medically safe.
* Confinement to Base.
* Confinement to Quarters.
* Temporary Confinement to Brig.
* Temporary restriction from certain duties.
* Temporary confiscation of issued equipment.
* Loss of Rank with approval from a Lieutenant or higher.

Officers and NCOs may create other reasonable disciplinary measures where appropriate.

== Criminals and Prisoners of War ==
Individuals held by the NCRA generally fall into one of three categories:

* Criminal.
* Military Detainee.
* Prisoner of War.

=== Criminals ===
Criminals are persons not acting as members of a military organization presently in a state of war with the NCR who are reasonably believed to have committed an offense against NCR law.

This may include persons who have:

* Broken NCR law inside NCR-controlled territory.
* Committed terrorism against NCR citizens or personnel.
* Deliberately undermined NCR military operations.
* Destroyed NCR property.
* Stolen NCR property.
* Attacked NCR citizens or military personnel.

Criminals shall be treated humanely.

They shall be provided reasonable access to:

* Food.
* Water.
* Clothing.
* Shelter.
* Necessary medical treatment.

Prisoners who remain non-resistant may not be deliberately harmed.

Non-lethal force may be used where reasonably necessary to control resistance or attempted escape.

Lethal force may be used where the prisoner creates an immediate threat of serious injury or death.

Prisoners may perform manual or menial labor but may not be deliberately assigned inhumane or lethally hazardous labor.

=== Military Detainees ===
A Military Detainee is a person temporarily held due to an immediate security, operational, investigative, or intelligence concern.

Detention itself is not punishment.

The person's status should be determined by Command or Military Police as soon as reasonably practical.

=== Prisoners of War ===
Prisoners of War are members of an organization, nation, faction, or army presently engaged in hostilities against the NCR.

POWs shall be treated humanely.

They must receive:

* Food.
* Water.
* Shelter.
* Basic clothing.
* Necessary medical treatment.

POWs may be searched, restrained, interrogated, and confined.

Non-lethal force may be used to control resistance or attempted escape.

POWs shall not be:

* Tortured.
* Deliberately starved.
* Used as human shields.
* Deliberately exposed to lethal labor.
* Used to falsely lure hostile personnel into an ambush.
* Arbitrarily executed.

POWs may perform reasonable manual labor.

POWs may not be executed, exchanged, released, or transferred without authorization from the Commander, Acting Commander, High Command, or another authority specifically empowered to authorize such action.

Any Commander ordering an execution, exchange, or transfer for personal, retaliatory, corrupt, or otherwise unlawful reasons may be held criminally responsible.
== List of Offenses ==

=== Misdemeanor (MR) ===
Misdemeanors are crimes or disciplinary violations which generally do not directly or seriously hinder the capabilities of the NCRA.

Misdemeanors normally result in Non-Judicial Punishment. Repeated or aggravated Misdemeanors may be elevated to a Major Offense.

== Court Martial ==
Court Martials may be requested by:

* Command personnel.
* Military Police.
* Provost personnel.
* High Command.
* Other authorities empowered by NCR military law.

Court Martials primarily handle serious offenses involving members of the NCRA or NCRR.

Non-military personnel are ordinarily tried through civilian NCR courts rather than Court Martial.

A Court Martial is a formal proceeding and should not be treated as an instantaneous punishment.

An accused person should be informed of:

* The charges against them.
* The evidence being presented.
* The nature of the proceeding.

Where reasonably possible, the accused shall be allowed to:

* Give their account.
* Present evidence.
* Call witnesses.
* Challenge accusations.
* Request representation.

Temporary detention while awaiting Court Martial is not itself a criminal punishment.

Major investigations should preserve:

* Witness testimony.
* Physical evidence.
* Medical evidence.
* Relevant radio recordings.

== Executions ==
Execution is an extraordinary punishment and shall be used sparingly. Execution remains subject to applicable server rules concerning [[Rules|Round Removal]]. Execution must possess substantial In-Character justification.

Personnel should not be executed merely because:

* They are personally disliked.
* They insulted Command.
* They attempted escape.
* Their continued detention is inconvenient.
* They committed a minor offense.
* A superior wishes to punish them quickly.

Where reasonably possible, Military Police are expected to attempt continued detention before determining that execution is necessary.

This may include:

* Increased restraint.
* Solitary confinement.
* Relocation.
* Increased guard.
* Removal of dangerous equipment.

Military Police may carry out emergency execution where a prisoner has become genuinely impossible to safely detain and presents a continuing serious threat.

Execution may also occur under extraordinary circumstances with approval from the Commander or High Command.

All executions require a post-mortem report to High Command.

At minimum, the report shall state:

* Identity of the executed individual.
* Date and approximate time.
* Location.
* Offenses or circumstances.
* Authority ordering or approving execution.
* Method of execution.
* Personnel involved.

== Dress Code ==
All on-duty personnel are expected to follow NCRA uniform regulations.

Personnel shall wear the appropriate uniform:

Personnel may not substantially alter or remove their uniform without authorization from the Commander or Acting Commander unless emergency circumstances reasonably require it.

Every soldier shall be provided the appropriate uniform for their rank and specialization where supplies permit.

The Commander may authorize modifications due to:

* Combat conditions.
* Weather.
* Medical requirements.
* Operational necessity.
* Equipment limitations.

Personnel shall remain reasonably identifiable as members of the NCRA unless participation in an authorized covert operation requires otherwise.

Once exceptional conditions cease, ordinary uniform regulations shall resume.

== Hair ==
Hair shall be reasonably groomed.

Hair may extend beyond the shoulder blades where it can be secured in a ponytail, braid, or bun and does not interfere with military equipment.

Hair shall not interfere with:

* Helmets.
* Covers.
* Gas masks.
* Respirators.
* Communications equipment.
* Other protective equipment.

Hair shall ordinarily remain a natural human color. Dyes, tints, or bleach may be used where the resulting color remains reasonably natural. Unnatural colors may be prohibited where they materially detract from identification or professional military appearance.

Helmets and covers may be removed indoors where appropriate.

== Hygiene ==
Military personnel shall maintain reasonable personal hygiene whenever conditions allow.

Personnel are expected to remove or clean:

* Excessive body odor.
* Dirt.
* Blood.
* Vomit.
* Chemical contaminants.
* Other substances which create a hygiene or medical concern.

Personnel returning directly from combat, field operations, medical emergencies, or similarly demanding circumstances shall be given reasonable opportunity to clean themselves before disciplinary action is considered.

== Court Martial ==
Court Martials may be requested by:

* Command personnel.
* Military Police.
* Provost personnel.
* High Command.
* Other authorities empowered by NCR military law.

Court Martials primarily handle serious offenses involving members of the NCRA or NCRR.

Non-military personnel are ordinarily tried through civilian NCR courts rather than Court Martial.

A Court Martial is a formal proceeding and should not be treated as an instantaneous punishment.

An accused person should be informed of:

* The charges against them.
* The evidence being presented.
* The nature of the proceeding.

Where reasonably possible, the accused shall be allowed to:

* Give their account.
* Present evidence.
* Call witnesses.
* Challenge accusations.
* Request representation.

Temporary detention while awaiting Court Martial is not itself a criminal punishment.

== Military Police and Provost Investigations ==
Military Police may detain personnel where reasonable grounds exist to believe an offense has occurred.

Major investigations should preserve:

* Witness testimony.
* Physical evidence.
* Medical evidence.
* Relevant radio recordings.
* Written orders.
* Official reports.
* Applicable chain-of-command information.

Provost personnel may assume or supervise investigations involving:

* (Senior) Officers.
* Military Police.
* Treason.
* Espionage.
* Sabotage.
* Terrorism.
* War Crimes.
* Corruption.
* Serious Abuse of Authority.
* Conflicts of interest within the local chain of command.

No Officer may terminate a lawful Provost investigation merely because the investigation concerns themselves or personnel under their command.

== Executions ==
Execution is an extraordinary punishment and shall be used sparingly. Execution remains subject to applicable server rules concerning [[Rules|Round Removal]]. Execution must possess substantial In-Character justification.

Personnel should not be executed merely because:

* They are personally disliked.
* They insulted Command.
* They attempted escape.
* Their continued detention is inconvenient.
* They committed a minor offense.
* A superior wishes to punish them quickly.

Where reasonably possible, Military Police are expected to attempt continued detention before determining that execution is necessary.

This may include:

* Increased restraint.
* Solitary confinement.
* Relocation.
* Increased guard.
* Removal of dangerous equipment.

Military Police may carry out emergency execution where a prisoner has become genuinely impossible to safely detain and presents a continuing serious threat.

Execution may also occur under extraordinary circumstances with approval from the Commander or High Command.

All executions require a post-mortem report to High Command.

At minimum, the report shall state:

* Identity of the executed individual.
* Date and approximate time.
* Location.
* Offenses or circumstances.
* Authority ordering or approving execution.
* Method of execution.
* Personnel involved.

== Dress Code ==
All on-duty personnel are expected to follow NCRA uniform regulations.

Personnel shall wear the appropriate uniform:

* While on duty.
* While on post.
* During military operations.
* While formally representing the NCRA.

Personnel may not substantially alter or remove their uniform without authorization from the Commander or Acting Commander unless emergency circumstances reasonably require it.

Every soldier shall be provided the appropriate uniform for their rank and specialization where supplies permit.

The Commander may authorize modifications due to:

* Combat conditions.
* Weather.
* Medical requirements.
* Operational necessity.
* Equipment limitations.

Personnel shall remain reasonably identifiable as members of the NCRA unless participation in an authorized covert operation requires otherwise.

Once exceptional conditions cease, ordinary uniform regulations shall resume.

== Hair ==
Hair shall be reasonably groomed.

Hair may extend beyond the shoulder blades where it can be secured in a ponytail, braid, or bun and does not interfere with military equipment.

Hair shall not interfere with:

* Helmets.
* Covers.
* Gas masks.
* Respirators.
* Communications equipment.
* Other protective equipment.

Hair shall ordinarily remain a natural human color. Dyes, tints, or bleach may be used where the resulting color remains reasonably natural. Unnatural colors may be prohibited where they materially detract from identification or professional military appearance.

Helmets and covers may be removed indoors where appropriate.

== Hygiene ==
Military personnel shall maintain reasonable personal hygiene whenever conditions allow.

Personnel are expected to remove or clean:

* Excessive body odor.
* Dirt.
* Blood.
* Vomit.
* Chemical contaminants.
* Other substances which create a hygiene or medical concern.

Personnel returning directly from combat, field operations, medical emergencies, or similarly demanding circumstances shall be given reasonable opportunity to clean themselves before disciplinary action is considered.

New California Republic Military Code

* To support and defend the New California Republic against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
* To obey all lawful orders of the President of the New California Republic and all lawful orders issued by superior officers.
* To preserve the good order, discipline, and reputation of the New California Republic Army.

This includes prohibitions against:

* Slavery.
* Unlawful gambling.
* Drug abuse.
* Public intoxication.
* Disorderly conduct.
* Theft.

All members of the NCRA may be tried by Court Martial for sufficiently serious offenses.

== Articles of Command ==
'''Article 1 - Lawful Authority'''

All personnel shall obey lawful orders issued by Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers, Military Police, Provost personnel, or any other person properly empowered by NCR law or military regulation.

An order requiring personnel to knowingly commit an unlawful act shall not be considered lawful.

Personnel are not required to obey an unlawful order.
----'''Article 2 - Individual Responsibility'''

Rank does not excuse criminal conduct.

Personnel who issue an unlawful order may be charged with:

* The offense resulting from that order.
* Abuse of Authority.
* Any other applicable offense.

Personnel who knowingly carry out an obviously unlawful order may also be held responsible.
----'''Article 3 - Attempt, Conspiracy, and Assistance'''

Attempting to commit an offense, conspiring to commit an offense, knowingly assisting another person in committing an offense, or deliberately concealing participation in an offense may be punished under the same category as the attempted offense.

Punishment should take into consideration whether the offense was successfully completed.
----'''Article 4 - Command Responsibility'''

Officers and NCOs are responsible for maintaining discipline among personnel under their authority.

Command personnel who knowingly permit serious criminal conduct and fail to reasonably prevent, stop, or report that conduct may be charged with '''Neglect of Duty''', '''Abuse of Authority''', or another appropriate offense.
----'''Article 5 - Military Necessity'''
Command authority may be expanded during combat, emergencies, attacks upon NCR installations, or other extraordinary circumstances.
Military necessity does not authorize:

* Torture.
* Arbitrary execution.
* Personal retaliation.
* Theft for personal gain.
* Deliberate attacks against protected civilians.
* Obviously unlawful orders.

== Chain of Command ==

=== Army Chain of Command ===
The Army Chain of Command determines who holds general authority over the battalion.

Command shall normally pass to the highest-ranking appropriate member of the chain of command.

Where no normal Command Officer is available, an appropriately senior member of the Military Police, Medical Department, or Ranger detachment may temporarily assume the position of '''Acting Commander''' where necessary for continued operation of the installation.

Temporary assumption of Command does not permanently confer additional rank.

=== Medical Chain of Command ===
The '''Medical Doctor''' possesses authority over medical procedures, treatment priorities, medical safety, and ordinary operation of the medical bay.

Personnel within the medical bay are expected to comply with lawful medical instructions relating to treatment or medical safety.

The Commander retains superior military authority but should not unnecessarily interfere with medical decisions made within the Medical Doctor's professional authority.

Military Police authority does not exempt MPs from the COMJ.

Abuse of MP authority may be treated as an aggravating circumstance.

== Code of Military Justice (COMJ) ==
Punishment under the COMJ is separated into '''Judicial Punishment''' and '''Non-Judicial Punishment'''.

== Judicial Punishment ==
Judicial Punishment is imposed following conviction during a Court Martial or Military Tribunal.

It is generally reserved for Major, Capital, and War Crime offenses.

Judicial punishments may include:

* Removal from Command.
* Other Than Honorable Discharge.
* Dishonorable Discharge.
* Bar from reenlistment.
* Long-term imprisonment.
* Hard labor.
* Execution by Firing Squad.
* Execution by Hanging.

Execution shall be considered an extraordinary punishment and shall not automatically follow conviction for a Capital Offense.

== Non-Judicial Punishment ==
Non-Judicial Punishment is intended to resolve minor disciplinary matters without requiring a Court Martial.

It may be administered by authorized NCOs and Officers.

Punishment must remain proportional to the offense and may not be unusually cruel, dangerous, or arbitrarily imposed.

Non-Judicial Punishment may include:

* Verbal reprimand.
* Written reprimand.
* Forfeiture of Pay.
* Extra Duty.
* Physical Training.
* Diminished Rations where medically safe.
* Confinement to Base.

Detention itself is not punishment.

The person's status should be determined by Command or Military Police as soon as reasonably practical.

'''While Capital Punishment in such cases is permitted''' when the punished in question is not an officer, it’s recommended to incarcerate the individual and process them for a trial by the Military Tribunal of the NCRA, especially if the crime was committed by an officer.

== Court Martial ==
Court Martials may be requested by:

* Command personnel.
* Military Police.
* Provost personnel.
* High Command.
* Other authorities empowered by NCR military law.

Court Martials primarily handle serious offenses involving members of the NCRA or NCRR.

Non-military personnel are ordinarily tried through civilian NCR courts rather than Court Martial.

A Court Martial is a formal proceeding and should not be treated as an instantaneous punishment.

An accused person should be informed of:

* The charges against them.
* The evidence being presented.
* The nature of the proceeding.

Where reasonably possible, the accused shall be allowed to:

* Give their account.
* Present evidence.
* Call witnesses.
* Challenge accusations.
* Request representation.

Temporary detention while awaiting Court Martial is not itself a criminal punishment.

== Military Police and Provost Investigations ==
Military Police may detain personnel where reasonable grounds exist to believe an offense has occurred.

Major investigations should preserve:

* Witness testimony.
* Physical evidence.
* Medical evidence.
* Relevant radio recordings.
* Written orders.
* Official reports.
* Applicable chain-of-command information.

Provost personnel may assume or supervise investigations involving:

* (Senior) Officers.
* Military Police.
* Treason.
* Espionage.
* Sabotage.
* Terrorism.
* War Crimes.
* Corruption.
* Serious Abuse of Authority.
* Conflicts of interest within the local chain of command.

No Officer may terminate a lawful Provost investigation merely because the investigation concerns themselves or personnel under their command.

== Executions ==
Execution is an extraordinary punishment and shall be used sparingly. Execution remains subject to applicable server rules concerning [[Rules|Round Removal]]. Execution must possess substantial In-Character justification.

Personnel should not be executed merely because:

* They are personally disliked.
* They insulted Command.
* They attempted escape.
* Their continued detention is inconvenient.
* They committed a minor offense.
* A superior wishes to punish them quickly.

Where reasonably possible, Military Police are expected to attempt continued detention before determining that execution is necessary.

This may include:

* Increased restraint.
* Solitary confinement.
* Relocation.
* Increased guard.
* Removal of dangerous equipment.

Military Police may carry out emergency execution where a prisoner has become genuinely impossible to safely detain and presents a continuing serious threat.

Execution may also occur under extraordinary circumstances with approval from the Commander or High Command.

All executions require a post-mortem report to High Command.

At minimum, the report shall state:

* Identity of the executed individual.
* Date and approximate time.
* Location.
* Offenses or circumstances.
* Authority ordering or approving execution.
* Method of execution.
* Personnel involved.

== Dress Code ==
All on-duty personnel are expected to follow NCRA uniform regulations.

Personnel shall wear the appropriate uniform:

* While on duty.
* While on post.
* During military operations.
* While formally representing the NCRA.

Personnel may not substantially alter or remove their uniform without authorization from the Commander or Acting Commander unless emergency circumstances reasonably require it.

Every soldier shall be provided the appropriate uniform for their rank and specialization where supplies permit.

The Commander may authorize modifications due to:

* Combat conditions.
* Weather.
* Medical requirements.
* Operational necessity.
* Equipment limitations.

Personnel shall remain reasonably identifiable as members of the NCRA unless participation in an authorized covert operation requires otherwise.

Once exceptional conditions cease, ordinary uniform regulations shall resume.

== Hair ==
Hair shall be reasonably groomed.

Hair may extend beyond the shoulder blades where it can be secured in a ponytail, braid, or bun and does not interfere with military equipment.

Hair shall not interfere with:

* Helmets.
* Covers.
* Gas masks.
* Respirators.
* Communications equipment.
* Other protective equipment.

Hair shall ordinarily remain a natural human color. Dyes, tints, or bleach may be used where the resulting color remains reasonably natural. Unnatural colors may be prohibited where they materially detract from identification or professional military appearance.

Helmets and covers may be removed indoors where appropriate.

== Hygiene ==
Military personnel shall maintain reasonable personal hygiene whenever conditions allow.

Personnel are expected to remove or clean:

* Excessive body odor.
* Dirt.
* Blood.
* Vomit.
* Chemical contaminants.
* Other substances which create a hygiene or medical concern.

Personnel returning directly from combat, field operations, medical emergencies, or similarly demanding circumstances shall be given reasonable opportunity to clean themselves before disciplinary action is considered.

* To obey all lawful orders of the President of the New California Republic and all lawful orders issued by superior officers.
* To preserve the good order, discipline, and reputation of the New California Republic Army.

This includes prohibitions against:

* Slavery.
* Unlawful gambling.

* Public intoxication.
* Disorderly conduct.
* Theft.
* Unlawful violence.

All members of the NCRA may be tried by Court Martial for sufficiently serious offenses.

== Articles of Command ==
'''Article 1 - Lawful Authority'''

All personnel shall obey lawful orders issued by Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers, Military Police, Provost personnel, or any other person properly empowered by NCR law or military regulation.

An order requiring personnel to knowingly commit an unlawful act shall not be considered lawful.

Personnel are not required to obey an unlawful order.
----'''Article 2 - Individual Responsibility'''

Rank does not excuse criminal conduct.

Personnel who issue an unlawful order may be charged with:

* The offense resulting from that order.
* Abuse of Authority.
* Any other applicable offense.

Personnel who knowingly carry out an obviously unlawful order may also be held responsible.
----'''Article 3 - Attempt, Conspiracy, and Assistance'''

Attempting to commit an offense, conspiring to commit an offense, knowingly assisting another person in committing an offense, or deliberately concealing participation in an offense may be punished under the same category as the attempted offense.

Punishment should take into consideration whether the offense was successfully completed.
----'''Article 4 - Command Responsibility'''

Officers and NCOs are responsible for maintaining discipline among personnel under their authority.

Command personnel who knowingly permit serious criminal conduct and fail to reasonably prevent, stop, or report that conduct may be charged with '''Neglect of Duty''', '''Abuse of Authority''', or another appropriate offense.
----'''Article 5 - Military Necessity'''
Command authority may be expanded during combat, emergencies, attacks upon NCR installations, or other extraordinary circumstances.
Military necessity does not authorize:

* Torture.
* Arbitrary execution.
* Personal retaliation.
* Theft for personal gain.
* Deliberate attacks against protected civilians.
* Obviously unlawful orders.

== Chain of Command ==

=== Army Chain of Command ===
The Army Chain of Command determines who holds general authority over the battalion.

Command shall normally pass to the highest-ranking appropriate member of the chain of command.

Where no normal Command Officer is available, an appropriately senior member of the Military Police, Medical Department, or Ranger detachment may temporarily assume the position of '''Acting Commander''' where necessary for continued operation of the installation.

Temporary assumption of Command does not permanently confer additional rank.

=== Medical Chain of Command ===
The '''Medical Doctor''' possesses authority over medical procedures, treatment priorities, medical safety, and ordinary operation of the medical bay.

Personnel within the medical bay are expected to comply with lawful medical instructions relating to treatment or medical safety.

The Commander retains superior military authority but should not unnecessarily interfere with medical decisions made within the Medical Doctor's professional authority.

Military Police authority does not exempt MPs from the COMJ.

Abuse of MP authority may be treated as an aggravating circumstance.

== Code of Military Justice (COMJ) ==
Punishment under the COMJ is separated into '''Judicial Punishment''' and '''Non-Judicial Punishment'''.

== Judicial Punishment ==
Judicial Punishment is imposed following conviction during a Court Martial or Military Tribunal.

It is generally reserved for Major, Capital, and War Crime offenses.

Judicial punishments may include:

* Loss of Rank.
* Forfeiture of Pay.
* Removal from Command.
* Other Than Honorable Discharge.
* Dishonorable Discharge.
* Bar from reenlistment.
* Long-term imprisonment.
* Hard labor.
* Execution by Firing Squad.
* Execution by Hanging.

Execution shall be considered an extraordinary punishment and shall not automatically follow conviction for a Capital Offense.

== Non-Judicial Punishment ==
Non-Judicial Punishment is intended to resolve minor disciplinary matters without requiring a Court Martial.

It may be administered by authorized NCOs and Officers.

Punishment must remain proportional to the offense and may not be unusually cruel, dangerous, or arbitrarily imposed.

Non-Judicial Punishment may include:

* Verbal reprimand.
* Written reprimand.
* Forfeiture of Pay.
* Extra Duty.
* Physical Training.
* Diminished Rations where medically safe.
* Confinement to Base.
* Confinement to Quarters.
* Temporary Confinement to Brig.
* Temporary restriction from certain duties.
* Temporary confiscation of issued equipment.
* Loss of Rank with approval from a Lieutenant or higher.

Officers and NCOs may create other reasonable disciplinary measures where appropriate.

== Criminals and Prisoners of War ==
Individuals held by the NCRA generally fall into one of three categories:

* Criminal.
* Military Detainee.
* Prisoner of War.

== Criminals ==
Criminals are persons not acting as members of a military organization presently in a state of war with the NCR who are reasonably believed to have committed an offense against NCR law.

This may include persons who have:

* Broken NCR law inside NCR-controlled territory.
* Committed terrorism against NCR citizens or personnel.
* Deliberately undermined NCR military operations.
* Destroyed NCR property.
* Stolen NCR property.
* Attacked NCR citizens or military personnel.

Criminals shall be treated humanely.

They shall be provided reasonable access to:

* Food.
* Water.
* Clothing.
* Shelter.
* Necessary medical treatment.

Prisoners who remain non-resistant may not be deliberately harmed.

Non-lethal force may be used where reasonably necessary to control resistance or attempted escape.

Lethal force may be used where the prisoner creates an immediate threat of serious injury or death.

Prisoners may perform manual or menial labor but may not be deliberately assigned inhumane or lethally hazardous labor.
== Military Detainees ==
A Military Detainee is a person temporarily held due to an immediate security, operational, investigative, or intelligence concern.

Detention itself is not punishment.

The person's status should be determined by Command or Military Police as soon as reasonably practical.
== Prisoners of War ==
Prisoners of War are members of an organization, nation, faction, or army presently engaged in hostilities against the NCR.

POWs shall be treated humanely.

They must receive:

* Food.
* Water.
* Shelter.
* Basic clothing.
* Necessary medical treatment.

POWs may be searched, restrained, interrogated, and confined.

Non-lethal force may be used to control resistance or attempted escape.

POWs shall not be:

* Tortured.
* Deliberately starved.
* Used as human shields.
* Deliberately exposed to lethal labor.
* Used to falsely lure hostile personnel into an ambush.
* Arbitrarily executed.

POWs may perform reasonable manual labor.

POWs may not be executed, exchanged, released, or transferred without authorization from the Commander, Acting Commander, High Command, or another authority specifically empowered to authorize such action.

Any Commander ordering an execution, exchange, or transfer for personal, retaliatory, corrupt, or otherwise unlawful reasons may be held criminally responsible.
== List of Offenses ==

=== Misdemeanor (MR) ===
Misdemeanors are crimes or disciplinary violations which generally do not directly or seriously hinder the capabilities of the NCRA.

Misdemeanors normally result in Non-Judicial Punishment. Repeated or aggravated Misdemeanors may be elevated to a Major Offense.

The '''Medical Doctor''' possesses authority over medical procedures, treatment priorities, medical safety, and ordinary operation of the medical bay.

Personnel within the medical bay are expected to comply with lawful medical instructions relating to treatment or medical safety.

The Commander retains superior military authority but should not unnecessarily interfere with medical decisions made within the Medical Doctor's professional authority.

== Code of Military Justice (COMJ) ==
Punishment under the COMJ is separated into '''Judicial Punishment''' and '''Non-Judicial Punishment'''.

== Judicial Punishment ==
Judicial Punishment is imposed following conviction during a Court Martial or Military Tribunal.

It is generally reserved for Major, Capital, and War Crime offenses.

Judicial punishments may include:

* Loss of Rank.
* Forfeiture of Pay.
* Removal from Command.
* Other Than Honorable Discharge.
* Dishonorable Discharge.
* Bar from reenlistment.
* Long-term imprisonment.
* Hard labor.
* Execution by Firing Squad.
* Execution by Hanging.

Execution shall be considered an extraordinary punishment and shall not automatically follow conviction for a Capital Offense.

== Non-Judicial Punishment ==
Non-Judicial Punishment is intended to resolve minor disciplinary matters without requiring a Court Martial.

It may be administered by authorized NCOs and Officers.

Punishment must remain proportional to the offense and may not be unusually cruel, dangerous, or arbitrarily imposed.

Non-Judicial Punishment may include:

* Verbal reprimand.
* Written reprimand.
* Forfeiture of Pay.
* Extra Duty.
* Physical Training.
* Diminished Rations where medically safe.
* Confinement to Base.
* Confinement to Quarters.
* Temporary Confinement to Brig.
* Temporary restriction from certain duties.
* Temporary confiscation of issued equipment.
* Loss of Rank with approval from a Lieutenant or higher.

Officers and NCOs may create other reasonable disciplinary measures where appropriate.
= Criminals and Prisoners of War =
Individuals held by the NCRA generally fall into one of three categories:

* Criminal.
* Military Detainee.
* Prisoner of War.

== Criminals ==
Criminals are persons not acting as members of a military organization presently in a state of war with the NCR who are reasonably believed to have committed an offense against NCR law.

This may include persons who have:

* Broken NCR law inside NCR-controlled territory.
* Committed terrorism against NCR citizens or personnel.
* Deliberately undermined NCR military operations.
* Destroyed NCR property.
* Stolen NCR property.
* Attacked NCR citizens or military personnel.

Criminals shall be treated humanely.

They shall be provided reasonable access to:

* Food.
* Water.
* Clothing.
* Shelter.
* Necessary medical treatment.

Prisoners who remain non-resistant may not be deliberately harmed.

Non-lethal force may be used where reasonably necessary to control resistance or attempted escape.

Lethal force may be used where the prisoner creates an immediate threat of serious injury or death.

Prisoners may perform manual or menial labor but may not be deliberately assigned inhumane or lethally hazardous labor.
== Military Detainees ==
A Military Detainee is a person temporarily held due to an immediate security, operational, investigative, or intelligence concern.

Detention itself is not punishment.

The person's status should be determined by Command or Military Police as soon as reasonably practical.
== Prisoners of War ==
Prisoners of War are members of an organization, nation, faction, or army presently engaged in hostilities against the NCR.

POWs shall be treated humanely.

They must receive:

* Food.
* Water.
* Shelter.
* Basic clothing.
* Necessary medical treatment.

POWs may be searched, restrained, interrogated, and confined.

Non-lethal force may be used to control resistance or attempted escape.

POWs shall not be:

* Tortured.
* Deliberately starved.
* Used as human shields.
* Deliberately exposed to lethal labor.
* Used to falsely lure hostile personnel into an ambush.
* Arbitrarily executed.

POWs may perform reasonable manual labor.

POWs may not be executed, exchanged, released, or transferred without authorization from the Commander, Acting Commander, High Command, or another authority specifically empowered to authorize such action.

Any Commander ordering an execution, exchange, or transfer for personal, retaliatory, corrupt, or otherwise unlawful reasons may be held criminally responsible.
== List of Offenses ==

=== Misdemeanor (MR) ===
Misdemeanors are crimes or disciplinary violations which generally do not directly or seriously hinder the capabilities of the NCRA.

Misdemeanors normally result in Non-Judicial Punishment. Repeated or aggravated Misdemeanors may be elevated to a Major Offense.

|}

== Court Martial ==
Court Martials may be requested by:

* Command personnel.
* Military Police.
* Provost personnel.
* High Command.
* Other authorities empowered by NCR military law.

Court Martials primarily handle serious offenses involving members of the NCRA or NCRR.

Non-military personnel are ordinarily tried through civilian NCR courts rather than Court Martial.

A Court Martial is a formal proceeding and should not be treated as an instantaneous punishment.

An accused person should be informed of:

* The charges against them.
* The evidence being presented.
* The nature of the proceeding.

Where reasonably possible, the accused shall be allowed to:

* Give their account.
* Present evidence.
* Call witnesses.
* Challenge accusations.
* Request representation.

Temporary detention while awaiting Court Martial is not itself a criminal punishment.

== Military Police and Provost Investigations ==
Military Police may detain personnel where reasonable grounds exist to believe an offense has occurred.

Major investigations should preserve:

* Witness testimony.
* Physical evidence.
* Medical evidence.
* Relevant radio recordings.
* Written orders.
* Official reports.
* Applicable chain-of-command information.

Provost personnel may assume or supervise investigations involving:

* (Senior) Officers.
* Military Police.
* Treason.
* Espionage.
* Sabotage.
* Terrorism.
* War Crimes.
* Corruption.
* Serious Abuse of Authority.
* Conflicts of interest within the local chain of command.

No Officer may terminate a lawful Provost investigation merely because the investigation concerns themselves or personnel under their command.

== Executions ==
Execution is an extraordinary punishment and shall be used sparingly. Execution remains subject to applicable server rules concerning [[Rules|Round Removal]]. Execution must possess substantial In-Character justification.

Personnel should not be executed merely because:

* They are personally disliked.
* They insulted Command.
* They attempted escape.
* Their continued detention is inconvenient.
* They committed a minor offense.
* A superior wishes to punish them quickly.

Where reasonably possible, Military Police are expected to attempt continued detention before determining that execution is necessary.

This may include:

* Increased restraint.
* Solitary confinement.
* Relocation.
* Increased guard.
* Removal of dangerous equipment.

Military Police may carry out emergency execution where a prisoner has become genuinely impossible to safely detain and presents a continuing serious threat.

Execution may also occur under extraordinary circumstances with approval from the Commander or High Command.

All executions require a post-mortem report to High Command.

At minimum, the report shall state:

* Identity of the executed individual.
* Date and approximate time.
* Location.
* Offenses or circumstances.
* Authority ordering or approving execution.
* Method of execution.
* Personnel involved.

== Dress Code ==
All on-duty personnel are expected to follow NCRA uniform regulations.

Personnel shall wear the appropriate uniform:

* While on duty.
* While on post.
* During military operations.
* While formally representing the NCRA.

Personnel may not substantially alter or remove their uniform without authorization from the Commander or Acting Commander unless emergency circumstances reasonably require it.

Every soldier shall be provided the appropriate uniform for their rank and specialization where supplies permit.

The Commander may authorize modifications due to:

* Combat conditions.
* Weather.
* Medical requirements.
* Operational necessity.
* Equipment limitations.

Personnel shall remain reasonably identifiable as members of the NCRA unless participation in an authorized covert operation requires otherwise.

Once exceptional conditions cease, ordinary uniform regulations shall resume.

== Hair ==
Hair shall be reasonably groomed.

Hair may extend beyond the shoulder blades where it can be secured in a ponytail, braid, or bun and does not interfere with military equipment.

Hair shall not interfere with:

* Helmets.
* Covers.
* Gas masks.
* Respirators.
* Communications equipment.
* Other protective equipment.

Hair shall ordinarily remain a natural human color. Dyes, tints, or bleach may be used where the resulting color remains reasonably natural. Unnatural colors may be prohibited where they materially detract from identification or professional military appearance.

Helmets and covers may be removed indoors where appropriate.

== Hygiene ==
Military personnel shall maintain reasonable personal hygiene whenever conditions allow.

Personnel are expected to remove or clean:

* Excessive body odor.
* Dirt.
* Blood.
* Vomit.
* Chemical contaminants.
* Other substances which create a hygiene or medical concern.

Personnel returning directly from combat, field operations, medical emergencies, or similarly demanding circumstances shall be given reasonable opportunity to clean themselves before disciplinary action is considered.

New California Republic Military Code

2026-08-19T23:31:55Z

Sssaaagggeee: slavery

== Expectation of Conduct ==
All service members of the NCRA are expected to uphold these following principles as stated in their oath of enlistment or commissioning.

* To bear allegiance to the New California Republic and its Constitution
* To support and defend the New California Republic against all enemies, Foreign and Domestic
* To obey all lawful orders of the President of the New California Republic, and of all superior officers

All personnel, active duty or off duty, are expected to abide by all laws of the New California Republic. This forbids all activity including or related to the following.

* Gambling
* Slavery
* Drug Abuse
* Public Intoxication and Disorderly Conduct

All On Duty personnel are expected to be in full uniform at all times during NCRA operations and while on duty. Uniform regulations are stated and explained further in the Dress Code section below.

Failure to comply with the above may lead to disciplinary action, Judicial and Non-Judicial. All personnel in the NCRA are eligible to be tried under court martial for severe infractions

== Articles of Command ==
'''Article 1 - Lawful Authority'''

All personnel shall obey lawful orders issued by officers, non-commissioned officers, Provost personnel, or other authorities empowered by NCR law.

An order requiring an individual to knowingly commit an unlawful act is not a lawful order.

'''Article 2 - Responsibility'''

Rank does not excuse criminal conduct.

Personnel issuing an unlawful order may be charged for the offense committed under that order in addition to Abuse of Authority.

Personnel carrying out an obviously unlawful order may likewise be held responsible.

'''Article 3 - Attempt, Conspiracy, and Assistance'''

Attempting to commit an offense, knowingly assisting in its commission, or conspiring with another person to commit it may be punished as the underlying offense.

'''Article 4 - Command Responsibility'''

Command personnel who knowingly permit serious criminal conduct by their subordinates and take no reasonable action to prevent, stop, or report it may be subject to disciplinary action.

== Chain of Command ==

=== Army Chain of Command ===
Determines who is in command of the battalion as a whole and takes place as the acting '''Commander'''. Command should always be given to the '''highest ranking person''' on the chain of command. In the case of no officer on base, high-ranking '''Military''' '''Police''' and '''Medical''' Personnel in addition to the '''Veteran Ranger''' can take the position as the acting '''Commander'''.

== Code of Military Justice (COMJ) ==
Punishment in the NCRA COMJ is divided between the categories of '''Judicial''' and '''Non-Judicial''' Punishment.

* '''Judicial Punishment''' is punishment determined after being found guilty during a court martial, generally only considered after major offenses.
* '''Non-Judicial Punishment''' is punishment administered by NCO’s and Officers for minor infringements or offenses.

'''Judicial Punishment''' requires an individual to be tried and found guilty under court martial. Punishments may range from, but are not limited to, the following. Military Police are not obligated to provide a court martial for any crime below Capital Offense.

* Loss of Rank
* Other Than Honorable Discharge
* Dishonorable Discharge
* Execution via Firing Squad
* Execution via Hanging
* Barred from reenlistment

'''Non-Judicial Punishment''' is punishment given typically for less severe or minor offenses. These are generally much less severe, and are given by NCO’s and Officers in the field to allow them better control over disorderly troops. These punishments must best fit the severity of the offense and may not be unusually cruel or arbitrarily given. These may include, but are not limited to, the following, with officers encouraged to find new and creative, but not harmful, punishments to supplement.

* Reprimand
* Forfeiture of Pay
* Extra Duty
* Diminished Rations
* Confinement to Base
* Confinement to Brig
* Loss of Rank (This punishment can only be given with the express permission and approval of an officer with the rank of Lieutenant or higher.)

=== Criminals and Prisoners of War ===
Prisoners of the NCRA are generalized into the two categories of Criminals and Prisoners of War (POW).

'''Criminals''' are individuals not part of an organization, nation, or army considered to be in a state of war or hostilities with the NCR, and have -

* Broken NCR laws inside of NCR held territory.
* Committed an act of terror against NCR citizens or NCRA personnel.
* Intentionally undermined or harmed NCR/NCRA operations or efforts.
* Destroyed or stolen NCR/NCRA property and/or equipment.

Criminals are protected under NCR laws and must be treated humanely and be provided with basic human necessities such as food, clothing, and shelter. Criminals may not be abused or harmed for any reason while in captivity and are non-resisting. Criminals who attempt to resist or escape may have non-lethal action used to contain them.

Criminals may not be used for inhumane or lethally hazardous jobs, but may be used for manual labor and menial tasks. NCR citizens or those who are citizens part of a foreign nation not in current hostilities with the NCR will be granted the right to a court and jury - they may not be punished by NCRA forces without due process. This protection does not include those without proof of citizenship - these individuals fall under NCRA jurisdiction fully and punishments may be given by a CO or Command.

'''Prisoners of War''' are individuals who are members of an organization, nation, or army that are in a current state of war with the NCR. POW’s are protected under NCR law and must be treated humanely and be provided with basic human necessities such as food, clothing, and shelter. POW’s may not be abused or harmed while in captivity and are non-resistant, though Non-Lethal action may be used to contain them if they resist or attempt escape.

POW’s may not be used for inhumane or lethally hazardous jobs, but may be used for manual labor and menial tasks. POW’s cannot be used to draw out or fool hostile forces into an ambush. POW’s may not be executed or traded without clearance from the current Commander or Acting Commander. Any Commanders ordering executions or trades will be held liable if found they were ordered for personal or dubious reasoning that goes against NCR/NCRA interests will be held liable.

== Code of Military Justice (COMJ) ==
Punishment in the NCRA COMJ is divided between the categories of '''Judicial''' and '''Non-Judicial''' Punishment.

* '''Judicial Punishment''' is punishment determined after being found guilty during a court martial, generally only considered after major offenses.
* '''Non-Judicial Punishment''' is punishment administered by NCO’s and Officers for minor infringements or offenses.

'''Judicial Punishment''' requires an individual to be tried and found guilty under court martial. Punishments may range from, but are not limited to, the following. Military Police are not obligated to provide a court martial for any crime below Capital Offense.

* Loss of Rank
* Other Than Honorable Discharge
* Dishonorable Discharge
* Execution via Firing Squad
* Execution via Hanging
* Barred from reenlistment

'''Non-Judicial Punishment''' is punishment given typically for less severe or minor offenses. These are generally much less severe, and are given by NCO’s and Officers in the field to allow them better control over disorderly troops. These punishments must best fit the severity of the offense and may not be unusually cruel or arbitrarily given. These may include, but are not limited to, the following, with officers encouraged to find new and creative, but not harmful, punishments to supplement.

* Reprimand
* Forfeiture of Pay
* Extra Duty
* Diminished Rations
* Confinement to Base
* Confinement to Brig
* Loss of Rank (This punishment can only be given with the express permission and approval of an officer with the rank of Lieutenant or higher.)

=== Criminals and Prisoners of War ===
Prisoners of the NCRA are generalized into the two categories of Criminals and Prisoners of War (POW).

'''Criminals''' are individuals not part of an organization, nation, or army considered to be in a state of war or hostilities with the NCR, and have -

* Broken NCR laws inside of NCR held territory.
* Committed an act of terror against NCR citizens or NCRA personnel.
* Intentionally undermined or harmed NCR/NCRA operations or efforts.
* Destroyed or stolen NCR/NCRA property and/or equipment.

Criminals are protected under NCR laws and must be treated humanely and be provided with basic human necessities such as food, clothing, and shelter. Criminals may not be abused or harmed for any reason while in captivity and are non-resisting. Criminals who attempt to resist or escape may have non-lethal action used to contain them.

Criminals may not be used for inhumane or lethally hazardous jobs, but may be used for manual labor and menial tasks. NCR citizens or those who are citizens part of a foreign nation not in current hostilities with the NCR will be granted the right to a court and jury - they may not be punished by NCRA forces without due process. This protection does not include those without proof of citizenship - these individuals fall under NCRA jurisdiction fully and punishments may be given by a CO or Command.

'''Prisoners of War''' are individuals who are members of an organization, nation, or army that are in a current state of war with the NCR. POW’s are protected under NCR law and must be treated humanely and be provided with basic human necessities such as food, clothing, and shelter. POW’s may not be abused or harmed while in captivity and are non-resistant, though Non-Lethal action may be used to contain them if they resist or attempt escape.

POW’s may not be used for inhumane or lethally hazardous jobs, but may be used for manual labor and menial tasks. POW’s cannot be used to draw out or fool hostile forces into an ambush. POW’s may not be executed or traded without clearance from the current Commander or Acting Commander. Any Commanders ordering executions or trades will be held liable if found they were ordered for personal or dubious reasoning that goes against NCR/NCRA interests will be held liable.

The '''New California Republic Rangers''' (NCRR) are the volunteer special force of the New California Republic Army. Rooted in the values of the Republic and the Desert Rangers, the primary goal of Rangers is to deal with threats the army cannot handle, peacekeeping and law enforcement around the borders of NCR territory, and scouting. Founded by President Tandi, with Seth being honored as the "first" ranger of the NCR, the title of "Chief Ranger" has been passed around. While being regarded as the elite forces of the NCRA, the rangers are still guilty of internal conflict and corruption.

== History ==

=== 2160: Origins ===
Before the New California Republic was even formed, the then small settlement of Shady Sands was protected by '''Captain Seth''' and his guard, protecting the people of Shady Sands from threats from the various threats of the wasteland. '''Seth''' eventually went missing and was presumed dead after going on an investigation towards Vault 13. After his death, he was honored as the founder and given the title "First Ranger" by '''President Tandi'''.

=== 2160-2241: Expansion ===
As the numbers of the Rangers grew, the Rangers were made an independent law enforcement agency focused on peacekeeping inside and outside the Republic's borders. A core mission of theirs was the abolishment of slavery, which they fought the practice for decades eventually leading to legislation happening in 2241 abolishing slavery in Shady Sands and the lands south of it.

The Rangers operated in secret, due to their low numbers, making a series of safehouses and even hiding their headquarters in an auto shop in Shady Sands. They raided slave outposts in and outside the Republic's borders, fighting and winning against often impossible odds for the small Ranger force. Their determination proved invaluable to the young Republic, and their cause eventually turned into protecting the wasteland from all forms of tyranny.

=== 2271: Unification ===
The Rangers underwent reform in 2271 after '''Chief Ranger Elise''' signed the Ranger Unification Treaty with the '''Desert Rangers''', a group of vigilantes who trace their origin back to the '''Texas Rangers'''. Following the treaty, '''Chief Elise''' dedicated the Rangers to supporting the Republic in the Mojave Campaign and protecting crucial assets such as Hoover Dam and New Vegas, skirmishing with the eastern army of Caesar's Legion. The Rangers ethics were questioned during the battles with Caesar's Legion, as the Legion often resorted to cruel tactics such as giving civilians explosives to exploit the Rangers.

=== 2277: First Battle of Hoover Dam ===
The Rangers single-handedly turned the tide of First Battle of Hoover of Dam with a trapped laid by '''Chief Hanlon''', with assistance from '''NCRA First Recon''', where they led the Legion forces into Boulder City and detonated large stashes of explosives in the buildings of Boulder City, destroying the Legion's main force and forcing them to retreat back east. The Rangers were regarded as heroes following the battle, and moved onto protecting the Mojave wasteland from their six Ranger stations Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, and Foxtrot.

=== 2296: Utah Campaign and Wendover ===
Following the announcement of the Utah Campaign, a small detachment of Rangers was sent with the "Salt Dogs" Battalion to help secure the region for larger NCR involvement over the crucial resource, salt. Originally operating inside the Salt Dogs Battalion, the Rangers eventually established '''Ranger Station Juliet''' and now focus on their original goals of abolitionism and enforcing law in the wastes.

=== Rights of a Ranger ===
All Rangers are inherently deputized, empowered to enforce laws as they see fit in the wasteland. Rangers operate with autonomy but cooperate with NCRA partners with the exception of the NCRA Major, to whom they all must answer to. They can give orders to the NCRA if no NCRA officer is available.

'''Criminals''' are individuals not part of an organization, nation, or army considered to be in a state of war or hostilities with the NCR, and have -

* Broken NCR laws inside of NCR held territory.
* Committed an act of terror against NCR citizens or NCRA personnel.
* Intentionally undermined or harmed NCR/NCRA operations or efforts.
* Destroyed or stolen NCR/NCRA property and/or equipment.

Criminals are protected under NCR laws and must be treated humanely and be provided with basic human necessities such as food, clothing, and shelter. Criminals may not be abused or harmed for any reason while in captivity and are non-resisting. Criminals who attempt to resist or escape may have non-lethal action used to contain them.

Criminals may not be used for inhumane or lethally hazardous jobs, but may be used for manual labor and menial tasks. NCR citizens or those who are citizens part of a foreign nation not in current hostilities with the NCR will be granted the right to a court and jury - they may not be punished by NCRA forces without due process. This protection does not include those without proof of citizenship - these individuals fall under NCRA jurisdiction fully and punishments may be given by a CO or Command.

'''Prisoners of War''' are individuals who are members of an organization, nation, or army that are in a current state of war with the NCR. POW’s are protected under NCR law and must be treated humanely and be provided with basic human necessities such as food, clothing, and shelter. POW’s may not be abused or harmed while in captivity and are non-resistant, though Non-Lethal action may be used to contain them if they resist or attempt escape.

POW’s may not be used for inhumane or lethally hazardous jobs, but may be used for manual labor and menial tasks. POW’s cannot be used to draw out or fool hostile forces into an ambush. POW’s may not be executed or traded without clearance from the current Commander or Acting Commander. Any Commanders ordering executions or trades will be held liable if found they were ordered for personal or dubious reasoning that goes against NCR/NCRA interests will be held liable.

These may include, but are not limited to, the following, with officers encouraged to find new and creative, but not harmful, punishments to supplement.

* Reprimand
* Forfeiture of Pay

== Code of Military Justice (COMJ) ==
Punishment in the NCRA COMJ is divided between the categories of '''Judicial''' and '''Non-Judicial''' Punishment.

* '''Judicial Punishment''' is punishment determined after being found guilty during a court martial, generally only considered after major offenses.
* '''Non-Judicial Punishment''' is punishment administered by NCO’s and Officers for minor infringements or offenses.

'''Judicial Punishment''' requires an individual to be tried and found guilty under court martial. Punishments may range from, but are not limited to, the following. Military Police are not obligated to provide a court martial for any crime below Capital Offense.

* Loss of Rank
* Other Than Honorable Discharge
* Dishonorable Discharge
* Execution via Firing Squad
* Execution via Hanging
* Barred from reenlistment

'''Non-Judicial Punishment''' is punishment given typically for less severe or minor offenses. These are generally much less severe, and are given by NCO’s and Officers in the field to allow them better control over disorderly troops. These punishments must best fit the severity of the offense and may not be unusually cruel or arbitrarily given. These may include, but are not limited to, the following, with officers encouraged to find new and creative, but not harmful, punishments to supplement.

* Reprimand
* Forfeiture of Pay
* Extra Duty
* Diminished Rations
* Confinement to Base
* Confinement to Brig
* Loss of Rank (This punishment can only be given with the express permission and approval of an officer with the rank of Lieutenant or higher.)

=== '''Criminals and Prisoners of War''' ===
Prisoners of the NCRA are generalized into the two categories of Criminals and Prisoners of War (POW).

'''Criminals''' are individuals not part of an organization, nation, or army considered to be in a state of war or hostilities with the NCR, and have -

* Broken NCR laws inside of NCR held territory.
* Committed an act of terror against NCR citizens or NCRA personnel.
* Intentionally undermined or harmed NCR/NCRA operations or efforts.
* Destroyed or stolen NCR/NCRA property and/or equipment.

Criminals are protected under NCR laws and must be treated humanely and be provided with basic human necessities such as food, clothing, and shelter. Criminals may not be abused or harmed for any reason while in captivity and are non-resisting. Criminals who attempt to resist or escape may have non-lethal action used to contain them.

Criminals may not be used for inhumane or lethally hazardous jobs, but may be used for manual labor and menial tasks. NCR citizens or those who are citizens part of a foreign nation not in current hostilities with the NCR will be granted the right to a court and jury - they may not be punished by NCRA forces without due process. This protection does not include those without proof of citizenship - these individuals fall under NCRA jurisdiction fully and punishments may be given by a CO or Command.

'''Prisoners of War''' are individuals who are members of an organization, nation, or army that are in a current state of war with the NCR. POW’s are protected under NCR law and must be treated humanely and be provided with basic human necessities such as food, clothing, and shelter. POW’s may not be abused or harmed while in captivity and are non-resistant, though Non-Lethal action may be used to contain them if they resist or attempt escape.

POW’s may not be used for inhumane or lethally hazardous jobs, but may be used for manual labor and menial tasks. POW’s cannot be used to draw out or fool hostile forces into an ambush. POW’s may not be executed or traded without clearance from the current Commander or Acting Commander. Any Commanders ordering executions or trades will be held liable if found they were ordered for personal or dubious reasoning that goes against NCR/NCRA interests will be held liable.

These punishments must best fit the severity of the offense and may not be unusually cruel or arbitrarily given. These may include, but are not limited to, the following, with officers encouraged to find new and creative, but not harmful, punishments to supplement.

* Reprimand
* Forfeiture of Pay
* Extra Duty
* Diminished Rations
* Confinement to Base
* Confinement to Brig
* Loss of Rank (This punishment can only be given with the express permission and approval of an officer with the rank of Lieutenant or higher.)

=== '''CRIMINALS AND PRISONERS OF WAR''' ===
Prisoners of the NCRA are generalized into the two categories of Criminals and Prisoners of War (POW).

'''Criminals''' are individuals not part of an organization, nation, or army considered to be in a state of war or hostilities with the NCR, and have -

* Broken NCR laws inside of NCR held territory.
* Committed an act of terror against NCR citizens or NCRA personnel.
* Intentionally undermined or harmed NCR/NCRA operations or efforts.
* Destroyed or stolen NCR/NCRA property and/or equipment.

Criminals are protected under NCR laws and must be treated humanely and be provided with basic human necessities such as food, clothing, and shelter. Criminals may not be abused or harmed for any reason while in captivity and are non-resisting. Criminals who attempt to resist or escape may have non-lethal action used to contain them.

Criminals may not be used for inhumane or lethally hazardous jobs, but may be used for manual labor and menial tasks. NCR citizens or those who are citizens part of a foreign nation not in current hostilities with the NCR will be granted the right to a court and jury - they may not be punished by NCRA forces without due process. This protection does not include those without proof of citizenship - these individuals fall under NCRA jurisdiction fully and punishments may be given by a CO or Command.

'''Prisoners of War''' are individuals who are members of an organization, nation, or army that are in a current state of war with the NCR. POW’s are protected under NCR law and must be treated humanely and be provided with basic human necessities such as food, clothing, and shelter. POW’s may not be abused or harmed while in captivity and are non-resistant, though Non-Lethal action may be used to contain them if they resist or attempt escape.

POW’s may not be used for inhumane or lethally hazardous jobs, but may be used for manual labor and menial tasks. POW’s cannot be used to draw out or fool hostile forces into an ambush. POW’s may not be executed or traded without clearance from the current Commander or Acting Commander. Any Commanders ordering executions or trades will be held liable if found they were ordered for personal or dubious reasoning that goes against NCR/NCRA interests will be held liable.

Founded by Aradesh and his daughter Tandi in Shady Sands, it is now led by President Aaron Kimball. The NCR's mission is to restore civilization, uplift infrastructure and economic frameworks, and foster peace. But the Republic is not devoid of flaws: it grapples with expansion, territorial disputes, wavering loyalties, and rising corruption.

== Bonneville Station ==

=== The Salt Dogs Battalion ===
The NCR's foothold east of Nevada is held by the '''Salt Dogs Battalion''', garrisoned at Bonneville Station on the Nevada side of the Wendover bridge. The Utah side is maintained as a forward checkpoint on rotation. The bridge itself is a permanent NCR asset - it does not change hands.

The battalion is commanded jointly by '''Major Blackhawk''' and '''Major Walker'''. Intelligence operations are coordinated by '''DAGGER-02''', a Ranger attached from regional command.

Wendover sits at the last real chokepoint before Utah opens into open wastes. I-80 runs through it. The salt trade runs through it. Whatever moves east or west in this region moves through Bonneville, and the Salt Dogs are there to make sure the NCR has a say in how it moves.

=== Strategic Context: DAGGER-02 Field Report ===
<blockquote style="background:#111; border-left:4px solid #C8A200; margin:0.8em 2em; padding:0.6em 1em; color:#c8b060; font-style:italic; font-family:serif;">"Station is established. Major Blackhawk and Major Walker are on the ground and operational.

I'll be plain: given the current situation back home, I'm not certain who is reading this or in what capacity anymore. I'm filing it anyway. That's the job.

We're here for I-80 and salt. Wendover is the last real chokepoint before Utah opens up. The salt funds the operation, which matters more now than it did when we were assigned here.

Nevada side of the bridge is home base. Utah side is a forward checkpoint on rotation. The bridge stays ours.

The Brotherhood has dug into the old airfield on the Utah side. They're not here by accident and they aren't telling us why. Nothing actionable yet. Legion presence has been noted in the region. Unknown which Legio, considering the civil war. Extent and intent unknown. Command should consider this when reviewing resupply prioritization.

== Laws ==
Dictated by the constitution of the Republic, every citizen of the NCR - civilian or military - must follow these laws.

It is a crime to '''take the life of another''', be it murder or manslaughter. These acts are harshly punished; depending on severity, punishment can reach execution. It is a crime to '''steal from another''', regardless of circumstances, punishable by prison with the possibility of parole.

=== Basic Rights ===
All citizens hold the following universal rights, which may not be infringed upon:
{| style="background:#141414; color:#d0d0d0; border:1px solid #C8A200; width:60%; padding:4px;"
| style="padding:4px 12px;" |
* The right to own personal property
* The right to freedom of expression, religion, and speech
* The right to self-defense
* The right to bear a sidearm and concealed carry inside NCR-controlled territories
* The right to enlist
* The right to an attorney
* The right to remain silent in cases of self-incrimination
* The right to a fair trial
|}
In the case of criminal arrest, all rights, barring the right to remain silent, to a fair trial, and to an attorney, are suspended.

=== Treason ===
All acts of treason are, in most cases, punishable by death. Includes: fraternizing with or providing information to an enemy of the state, terrorism, desertion, and dereliction of duty.

=== Fraudulent Activities ===
Punishable by prison or voluntary labor. Includes: money laundering, identity theft, falsification of reports or official documents, forgery of currency, and the sale/distribution of illicit substances (Jet, Psycho, Turbo).

== New California Republic Army (NCRA) ==
The defense forces of the Republic. The NCRA must tackle conflicts in a non-aggressive way - de-escalate first, deal with threats using the minimum force possible.<blockquote style="background:#111; border-left:4px solid #C8A200; margin:0.8em 2em; padding:0.6em 1em; color:#c8b060; font-style:italic;">"The mission of the NCR is to uphold the law in the region, as well as to try to gain anything valuable - trading with major powers or settlements, or obtaining resources from the area. Expansionism is allowed but only by diplomacy or to expel a threat. Keeping a good image of the Republic is key."</blockquote>

=== Basic Principles ===
{| style="background:#141414; color:#d0d0d0; border:1px solid #C8A200; width:65%; padding:4px;"
| style="padding:4px 12px;" |
* Follow the rules of war and human rights
* Obey the chain of command
* While on duty, do not drink alcohol or gamble
* Treat prisoners with respect and dignity; field execution requires officer or High Command authorization
* Wear your uniform at all times. Dog tags and rank pins must always be visible
* Going off-duty requires chain-of-command approval; always ask command before stepping down
|}
'''Field Promotions''' are legal. An NCO may promote enlisted personnel; a CO may promote an NCO for exceptional service. Cannot promote between branches, nor skip from enlisted to officer.

== Branches of the NCRA ==
The New California Republic Army operates a multitude of branches separate from the regular Army. Those range from specialized units to essential supporting roles from the Military Police, the Medical Corps, and the Quartermaster Corps.

=== New California Republic Army Reconnaissance Battalion (Recon) ===
The New California Republic Army Reconnaissance Battalion is one of the specialized battalions in the New California Republic Army, with the most famous Reconnaissance Battalion being the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, or First Recon. Known for their sharpshooting abilities and skirmishing capabilities, the Recon is usually tasked with direct combat support, to provide accurate shots from flanks to take out the hostile squad leaders and junior officers. They are usually sizing with the newly established FORECON, due to their seniority in the unit's history, as well as the Recon having more direct support in combat, as well as their renowned marksmanship.

=== New California Republic Army Force Reconnaissance (FORECON) ===
The New California Republic Army Force Reconnaissance is an NCRA unit separate from Recon, while Recon prioritizes marksmanship and fire support, FORECON provides deep reconnaissance, usually through the usage of NCR troopers who went through FORECON Specialization Courses to become NCR FORECON Infiltrators. And usually sizing with Recon for their deep reconnaissance and Ranger-like unit role.

=== New California Republic Army Quartermaster Corps (QM) ===
The New California Republic Army Quartermaster Corps is the newest branch established, shortly after the Mohave Campaign. Although the role of Quartermasters existed before, and has been officially assigned by military installations' commanding officers, it was never an official branch until then. The Quartermaster Corps assigns a logistics company to every Battalion in the NCRA. Specifically, Requisition Officers. The Quartermasters are recognizable by their black berets. In Wendover, the 3rd Battalion Logistics Supplement Company is attached.

==== Ranks of the Quartermaster Corps ====

* '''Quartermaster''' - Rank and file, or the NCO's, attain the title of Quartermaster if they pass the Quartermaster Corps Qualification, and are usually led by the Requisition Officer, or act as one in one's absence.
* '''Requisition Officer''' - Junior officer within the NCRA, and the highest battalion-level position in the Quartermaster Corps. They are usually seen with other junior officers and senior officers, making sure resources are properly diverted to wherever they are needed to go.

=== New California Republic Army Medical Corps (Medical) ===
The oldest established Corps in the New Californian Republic Army. The New California Republic Army Medical Corps is a non-combat branch consisting of commissioned medical officers, who are licensed M.D's who operate the various medical bays across the NCRA's military installations, helping others with medical expertise the Army can't get enough hands on, so does the Wasteland, as well. They are often one of the most valued targets for kidnapping by both the Raiders and the Legions alike for their skills. They are recognizable by their white lab coats.

=== New California Republic Army Corps of Engineers ===
Established shortly after the Medical Corps, the New California Republic Army Corps of Engineers includes both combat and non-combat personnel in charge of construction, fortification, breaching, vertibird and vehicle maintenance, and silicon oversight. They provide essential work to keep the Army running, usually without any glory or publicity of the other branches.

==== Silicons ====
Silicons are under the direct authority of the New California Republic Army Corps of Engineers and are expected to follow all orders received from NCRA command personnel.

* Silicons are granted the same basic rights as Troopers
* Silicons aligned with the NCR may be granted access to the base and a radio headset
* Silicons can be issued a rank based on Officer discretion
* All ranks held by any silicon are to be considered honorary and hold no real command authority

If a silicon disobeys orders or is exhibiting 'feelings', they should be reported immediately to the 37th Engineering Company for repair and re-tuning.

=== New California Republic Army Military Police Corps (MP) ===
The New California Republic Army Military Police Corps is the official law enforcement branch of the New California Republic Army. They perform everything from investigations, arrests, trials, enforcement of military code on the NCRA troopers, and law enforcement in occupied territories. They are the most hated branch out of all of the Army Branches due to their constant, albeit necessary, enforcement of military regulations on the Troopers. They are often targets of fragging, a term used for intentional friendly fire by disgruntled troopers due to that reason. They are recognizable by their NCR metal helmet with the M.P sprayed on it. In Wendover, the 4th Military Police Brigade is attached to Bonneville Station.

==== Ranks of the Military Police Corps ====

* '''Military Police Specialist''' - The first rank attained by passing the Military Police Law Enforcement training, and usually seen at Platoon or Battalion level posts. They are still in training, and need experience from the Staff Sergeant.
* '''Military Police Staff Sergeant''' - The NCO rank of the NCRA and the Military Police. They are both enforcers, de facto drill sergeants, and trainers for the Specialists. They are the bulk of the Military Police, usually posted at Battalion-level.
* '''Military Police Lieutenant''' - The Junior officer rank of the NCRA and the Military Police. They are sent directly by the Military Police Battalion Command to places they need to be, and have the final say in matters of the Military Code.

== Crime and Punishment ==
Punishment in the NCR is divided between Non-Judicial and Judicial Punishment.

=== Non-Judicial Punishment (NJP) ===
For less severe offenses. Given by NCOs and Officers in the field. These punishments must best fit the severity of the offense and cannot be cruel or arbitrary.

* Reprimand · Forfeiture of Pay · Extra Duty · Diminished Rations
* Confinement to Base or Brig
* Loss of Rank (requires Captain or higher approval)

=== Judicial Punishment (JP) ===
Determined after court martial for major or capital offenses.

* Other Than Honorable Discharge · Dishonorable Discharge
* Execution via Firing Squad or Hanging
* Barred from Reenlistment

=== Court Martial ===
Requested by high-ranking members or the Military Police. Handles serious crimes between NCRA and NCRR. Non-military personnel are not sentenced to Court Martial - they receive a Civilian Court Trial. Court martials take time; they are not instantaneous.

== List of Offenses ==

'''Modifiers:''' Aggravating factors (repeating an offense, refusing to cooperate) make punishment harsher. Mitigating factors (surrendering, cooperating) make it less harsh.

== Dress Code ==
All on-duty personnel must be in full uniform during all NCR operations. Soldiers may wear non-NCR apparel (cowboy hats, bandanas), provided they remain identifiable as NCR personnel. The Commanding Officer has the right to declare enforced helmet wearing by Troopers. It is otherwise assumed to not be enforced. Anyone of higher rank may still order any personnel below them to wear a protective helmet.

=== Hair, Hygiene Regulations ===
Members of the Military, regardless of gender, status, or situation, must maintain a state of uniformity and cleanness to exert the professionalism of the military; as such, all personnel must groom themselves, and also maintain a degree of hygiene suitable for the proper conduct of one's station.

==== Hair Code ====
Members of the Military must not have their hair below their shoulders, tied or not. They are also not allowed to keep one's hair in a state of clutter and chaos. One's hair must also not be of unnatural hair color. Complaints for the legitimacy of their hair color may be requested so by their nearest Medical Officer.

==== Hygiene Code ====
Members of the Military must maintain their hygiene at every possible moment during their duty. Those are: body odor, general dirtiness, blood, vomit, or general improper fragrance of one's body.

=== Weapon Regulations ===
Weapons should be holstered when not in use. Personnel must be allowed to holster on their first offense. Under normal circumstances, weapons may only be fired in the firing range. Weapons may not be left unattended unless properly secured in spaces intended for them, like weapon racks, cabinets, or the armory.

== Criminals and Prisoners of War ==

=== Criminals ===
Individuals not part of any faction who have broken NCR laws, committed crimes against NCR citizens or personnel, or undermined NCR operations. Criminals are protected under NCR laws - they must be treated humanely, provided with food, clothing, and shelter, and may not be abused while non-resisting. In the absence of non-lethal methods to detain and secure a inmate, lethal methods are authorized if they attempt to escape.

=== Prisoners of War (POWs) ===
Individuals who are part of a faction currently at war with the NCR. POWs are protected under NCR laws and must be treated humanely. Anyone releasing a POW without authorization is charged with Sedition or Treason.

=== Executions ===
Executions fall under the server rules of [[Rules|Round Removal]] and should be used extremely sparingly and with bulletproof In Character reasoning. (DO NOT Round Remove people because they personally bother you or attempting escape, give the player their own story!). You are expected and '''demanded''' to fax High Command with execution post-mortem reports (who, when, where, and why are bare essentials if you're not into paperwork).

Military Police are allowed to execute prisoners/prisoners of war should they deem the subject un-detainable; Or under '''extraordinary circumstances''' as approved by the CO/High Command. Military Police are '''required to hold the subject for as long as possible''' (I.E: Give them solitary confinement first or some similar 'second chance' punishment) before deeming them a drain on resources to keep.

== Relations ==
By server rules, every faction begins the round as 'neutral' to each other. The below table is purely for lore reference and shouldn't be an excuse to kill any member of any faction on sight.

!Notes
|-
|[[Brotherhood of Steel]]
|Tense
|Due to the events of '''[[Brotherhood of Steel#The Kearny Occupation: The "Silent Years"|Operation Sunburst (2276)]]''', the NCR severally wounded the 509th chapter's presence in Wendover. The brotherhood regards the NCR as a oppressive force to their goals- but the NCR seem confident the brotherhood are too busy licking their wounds to impede in the salt dogs battalion's diplomatic goals within the area.
|-
|[[Caesar's Legion]]
|Tense
|The NCR and Legion are ideologically opposed on almost every issue. This, in combination with a long and storied history of conflict between the two factions, leads to a deep enmity that often spirals into open conflict. Only seen cooperating against a bigger, common, enemy.
|-
|[[Followers of the Apocalypse]]
|Friendly
|The NCR greatly respects and utilizes the medical expertise of the followers. The only possible conflict these two factions have is polite political disagreements stemming from the follower's staunch position of pacifism.
|-
|[[Townsfolk]]
|Friendly
|The townsfolk are more than happy to exchange with the NCR for goods and services- the NCR are more than happy to expand their diplomatic relations with like-minded individuals within Wendover.
|-
|[[Wastelanders]]
|Neutral
|Wastelanders are, and forever will be, a wildcard within Wendover. However, NCR law dictates that they are entitled to a set of basic rights, up-to-but-not-excluding: the right to a sidearm, the right for freedom of expression, and the right to enlist. The latter being the main draw for the NCR.
|-
|[[Vault Dwellers]]
|Neutral
|Similar to their position on the Wastelanders- the NCR views the Vault as proper citizens of the region, entitled to every right as a citizen of the NCR. Especially the right to enlist.
|-
|[[Wasteland Tribes]]
|Neutral
|The Yuma Tribal views the presence of the Bear within their homeland as an obvious scheme for colonization. The NCR view their expansionist efforts as more merciful than anything the other two major factions could offer. At the end of the day, the two remain isolated and can go weeks without any diplomatic attempts between them.
|-
|[[Outlaws]]
|Tense
|Thieves and ne'er-do-wells. A small, but organized, threat to the NCR's diplomatic goals for the region.

The '''New California Republic Rangers''' (NCRR) are the volunteer special force of the New California Republic Army. Rooted in the values of the Republic and the Desert Rangers, the primary goal of Rangers is to deal with threats the army cannot handle, peacekeeping and law enforcement around the borders of NCR territory, and scouting. Founded by President Tandi, with Seth being honored as the "first" ranger of the NCR, the title of "Chief Ranger" has been passed around. While being regarded as the elite forces of the NCRA, the rangers are still guilty of internal conflict and corruption.

== History ==

=== 2160: Origins ===
Before the New California Republic was even formed, the then small settlement of Shady Sands was protected by '''Captain Seth''' and his guard, protecting the people of Shady Sands from threats from the various threats of the wasteland. '''Seth''' eventually went missing and was presumed dead after going on an investigation towards Vault 13. After his death, he was honored as the founder and given the title "First Ranger" by '''President Tandi'''.

=== 2160-2241: Expansion ===
As the numbers of the Rangers grew, the Rangers were made an independent law enforcement agency focused on peacekeeping inside and outside the Republic's borders. A core mission of theirs was the abolishment of slavery, which they fought the practice for decades eventually leading to legislation happening in 2241 abolishing slavery in Shady Sands and the lands south of it.

The Rangers operated in secret, due to their low numbers, making a series of safehouses and even hiding their headquarters in an auto shop in Shady Sands. They raided slave outposts in and outside the Republic's borders, fighting and winning against often impossible odds for the small Ranger force. Their determination proved invaluable to the young Republic, and their cause eventually turned into protecting the wasteland from all forms of tyranny.

=== 2271: Unification ===
The Rangers underwent reform in 2271 after '''Chief Ranger Elise''' signed the Ranger Unification Treaty with the '''Desert Rangers''', a group of vigilantes who trace their origin back to the '''Texas Rangers'''. Following the treaty, '''Chief Elise''' dedicated the Rangers to supporting the Republic in the Mojave Campaign and protecting crucial assets such as Hoover Dam and New Vegas, skirmishing with the eastern army of Caesar's Legion. The Rangers ethics were questioned during the battles with Caesar's Legion, as the Legion often resorted to cruel tactics such as giving civilians explosives to exploit the Rangers.

=== 2277: First Battle of Hoover Dam ===
The Rangers single-handedly turned the tide of First Battle of Hoover of Dam with a trapped laid by '''Chief Hanlon''', with assistance from '''NCRA First Recon''', where they led the Legion forces into Boulder City and detonated large stashes of explosives in the buildings of Boulder City, destroying the Legion's main force and forcing them to retreat back east. The Rangers were regarded as heroes following the battle, and moved onto protecting the Mojave wasteland from their six Ranger stations Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, and Foxtrot.

=== 2296: Utah Campaign and Wendover ===
Following the announcement of the Utah Campaign, a small detachment of Rangers was sent with the "Salt Dogs" Battalion to help secure the region for larger NCR involvement over the crucial resource, salt. Originally operating inside the Salt Dogs Battalion, the Rangers eventually established '''Ranger Station Juliet''' and now focus on their original goals of abolitionism and enforcing law in the wastes.

|-
|Chief Ranger
|The ultimate ranger authority in the Republic, coordinating Veteran operations and setting long-term goals, ensuring peace is kept in the frontier. Answers only to the Ranger Code.
|-
|Deputy Chief Ranger
|Veteran Rangers empowered by the Chief Ranger to preform investigations or act in their place. Rarer, but still an essential part of the Rangers.
|-
|Veteran Ranger
|The Ranger's field commander in Wendover, all serving for at least 20 years before their promotion. Set operational priorities, choose your methods, and answer only to your code.
|-
|Field Ranger
|Second in command in Wendover, working with the Veteran to ensure law is enforced in the wastes.
|-
|Patrol Ranger
|Junior position among the rangers. Patrol the frontier, keep the peace, prove you belong among the rest of the Rangers.
|-
|Ranger Recruit
|The earliest position in a Ranger's career. Follow orders, learn the ropes, and prove you have what it takes to earn your badge.
|-
|Supermutant Ranger
|Supermutants who somehow found their place among the rangers. They range from Recruits to Veterans, providing invaluable skills normal Rangers don't have.
|}

=== Rights of a Ranger ===
All Rangers are inherently deputized, empowered to enforce laws as they see fit in the wasteland. Rangers operate with autonomy but cooperate with NCRA partners with the exception of the NCRA Major, to whom they all must answer to. They can give orders to the NCRA if no NCRA officer is available. Rangers are expected to follow NCRA Military Code while on base, and may be punished by Military Police.
* A '''Chief Ranger''' holds the authority of a Major
* A '''Veteran Ranger''' holds the authority of a Second Lieutenant
* A '''Field Ranger''' holds the authority of a Staff Sergeant
* A '''Patrol Ranger''' holds the authority of Sergeant
* A '''Ranger Recruit''' holds the authority of a Recruit

The '''Enclave''' is the self-proclaimed continuation of the United States government. Founded by a secret cabal of political, military, and corporate elites, they retreated to fortified bunkers and offshore installations just before the Great War to survive the nuclear apocalypse they helped facilitate.

The Wendover Enclave, being largely isolated from other branches of the organization, has lain dormant for over 200 years. But the call to action has come, and the work to rebuild America has begun. The Enclave is active in Utah once more.

They are the most technologically advanced human organization in the known world. They are also the most dangerous.

<blockquote style="background:#111; border-left:4px solid #0A3161; margin:0.8em 2em; padding:0.6em 1em; color:#B31942; font-style:italic;">"We are the United States of America. We never fell. We never surrendered. And we are coming back."</blockquote>

== History ==

=== 2077: The Great War and the Great Retreat ===
Immediately following the nuclear exchange, the Enclave leadership activated their continuity of government protocols. While the primary leadership fled to the '''Control Station Enclave''' (an oil rig off the coast of California), regional branches took command of specialized bunkers across the continent.

* '''The Appalachian Branch:''' Led by Secretary of Agriculture Thomas Eckhart, this group occupied the Whitespring Bunker. Eckhart was an extremist who believed the war was not "won." He murdered his superiors to seize control and declare himself President.
* '''The Poseidon Oil Rig:''' The "Main Branch" established their base of operations here, overseeing the various regional outposts from afar. They followed an extreme policy of genetic purity, believing that all humans outside the Enclave were impure examples of the human race, fit only for extermination.

These isolated branches of the U.S. Government would operate in secrecy for centuries, performing experiments and research in preparation for the drive to reclaim America.

=== 2242: The Fall of Western Command ===
The destruction of the Oil Rig by the "Chosen One" is a pivotal moment in Enclave history. The loss of the President and the Rig forced the Enclave to transition from a global superpower to a migratory force. Surviving members, led by Scientist Autumn Senior, began a "Great March" toward the East Coast.

Lacking a central command, Enclave ideological cohesion begins to drift as localized branches must begin to make decisions for themselves. Two main factions would take shape - the '''Hardliners''', who still believe in the genetic extremism upheld by the Oil Rig HQ, and the '''Pragmatists''', who are willing to make compromises to this policy in the name of rebuilding America.

=== 2277: The Capital Wasteland Campaign ===
By this year, the Enclave had re-established a massive presence at '''Raven Rock''' and '''Adams Air Force Base''' in Washington, D.C.

| style="color:#ff8888; font-weight:bold;" | John Henry Eden || A sentient ZAX supercomputer that believed it was the reincarnation of all great American Presidents. '''Hardliner''' - proposed using a modified FEV to commit global genocide against anyone with mutated DNA.
|-
| style="color:#88cc88;" | Colonel Augustus Autumn || Son of Autumn Senior. '''Pragmatist''' - rejected Eden's genocidal plan, preferring to use the region's water supply as a political tool to force the population to accept Enclave rule.
|}

'''The Outcome:''' The Enclave was decisively defeated by the Brotherhood of Steel. This marked the end of the Enclave as an organized, open military government on the East Coast, largely as a result of the internal conflict between the two factions.

=== 2296: The Research Resurgence ===
Decades after their major defeats, a highly organized and secretive Enclave branch has emerged in Wendover. The local branch of the Enclave began with a single member, awoken from cryogenic stasis after 200 years of slumber - '''The Reformer, Daniel Kukowski'''.

! style="background:#1a1e0a; color:#8a9a4a; padding:6px;" | Details
|-
| '''Strategy''' || Shifting away from open warfare, this branch focuses on advanced bio-engineering and energy physics. To facilitate these goals and expand their influence, the Wendover Enclave styles itself as the '''United States Army''', and seeks to bolster their numbers through propaganda and aggressive recruitment drives. They operate with extreme secrecy, and ensure all new members are absolutely loyal to the cause through experimental technology...
|-
| '''Ideology''' || This version of the Enclave is more calculated. They view themselves as the ultimate stewards of the planet's future, possessing '''Cold Fusion''' technology required to restart civilization. They also take a more '''Pragmatic''' approach to outsiders - Wastelanders with minor mutations or radiation damage can be recruited and cured, and even ghouls and mutants are not denied an opportunity to serve their country... As second-class citizens.
|-
| '''Goal''' || Less interested in immediate genocide - more interested in the total control of planetary resources and the technological infrastructure of the new world. Scientific efforts focus not only on advanced energy technology, but on medical procedures capable of curing, reversing or preventing the various mutations caused by radiation and FEV. Rebuilding America is the goal, now and forever.

|-
| '''Research''' || Being on the bleeding edge of science and technology, the Enclave have access to resources and tools to see research accomplished. Precaution is to be taken and measures assured so that that equipment and fellow Enclave members are not harmed in the process. Focusing on rebuilding America, killing people to see the research finished is not the goal. Rebuilding America will require precise and calculated research. They will be documenting data, collecting samples, and gathering intelligence to make sure they are seeing the goals given to them accomplished.
|-
| '''Test Subjects''' || Soldiers and civilians matter, and the Enclave are never to be tested on with genetic or medical procedures, they are in this organization together. Recent recruits (in round), and enemies of the Enclave can be experimented on to accomplish its goals. Pointless experimentation and medical procedures on outsiders is to be avoided, the Enclave pride themselves on being ideal American citizens.
|-
| '''Medical Procedures''' || Medical torture is frowned upon within the Enclave. You would not harm a future American citizen. The Enclave view themselves as better than the rest. Enemies to the cause may be used as needed in case of emergency to ensure the health and well being of its members.
|-
| '''Genetic Mutations''' || The goal is reversing the damage of the great war. Still emphasizing purity, they seek to correct the mutations caused by radiation and FEV. If America is to be restored to its true American genetic and ideological baseline. Eradication of harmful mutations is the goal.
|-
| '''Genetic Usage''' || The Enclave are not against the use of mutations for their benefit. They pledge themselves to the cause. Mutations visible to the naked eye are to be avoided, as it does not represent the purity the Enclave is after. However, products that safely enhance the strength of soldier and have use in combat are acceptable to use.

|-
| [[Townsfolk]] || Neutral || Civilians have heard the stories - but they've never seen actual Enclave members, until now. Are the stories true? The Enclave views locals as honest American citizens, to be vetted and potentially enlisted in the same way as any other Wastelander.
|-
| [[Wastelanders]] || Neutral || To Wastelanders, the Enclave can be hard to distinguish from the Brotherhood. To the Enclave, unaffiliated Wastelanders are future soldiers.
|-
| [[Followers of the Apocalypse]] || Tense || The Followers despise the Enclave's power-hungry ways, naked militarism and authoritarian practices. The Enclave sees the Followers as undisciplined anarchists... But also begrudgingly recognizes that they produce some of the wasteland's finest Scientists.
|-
| [[Outlaws]] || Tense || Raiders are vermin to be cleansed. The Enclave does not negotiate with bandits.

Founded by Aradesh and his daughter Tandi in Shady Sands, it is now led by President Aaron Kimball. The NCR's mission is to restore civilization, uplift infrastructure and economic frameworks, and foster peace. But the Republic is not devoid of flaws: it grapples with expansion, territorial disputes, wavering loyalties, and rising corruption.

== Bonneville Station ==

=== The Salt Dogs Battalion ===
The NCR's foothold east of Nevada is held by the '''Salt Dogs Battalion''', garrisoned at Bonneville Station on the Nevada side of the Wendover bridge. The Utah side is maintained as a forward checkpoint on rotation. The bridge itself is a permanent NCR asset - it does not change hands.

The battalion is commanded jointly by '''Major Blackhawk''' and '''Major Walker'''. Intelligence operations are coordinated by '''DAGGER-02''', a Ranger attached from regional command.

Wendover sits at the last real chokepoint before Utah opens into open wastes. I-80 runs through it. The salt trade runs through it. Whatever moves east or west in this region moves through Bonneville, and the Salt Dogs are there to make sure the NCR has a say in how it moves.

=== Strategic Context: DAGGER-02 Field Report ===
<blockquote style="background:#111; border-left:4px solid #C8A200; margin:0.8em 2em; padding:0.6em 1em; color:#c8b060; font-style:italic; font-family:serif;">"Station is established. Major Blackhawk and Major Walker are on the ground and operational.

I'll be plain: given the current situation back home, I'm not certain who is reading this or in what capacity anymore. I'm filing it anyway. That's the job.

We're here for I-80 and salt. Wendover is the last real chokepoint before Utah opens up. The salt funds the operation, which matters more now than it did when we were assigned here.

Nevada side of the bridge is home base. Utah side is a forward checkpoint on rotation. The bridge stays ours.

The Brotherhood has dug into the old airfield on the Utah side. They're not here by accident and they aren't telling us why. Nothing actionable yet. Legion presence has been noted in the region. Unknown which Legio, considering the civil war. Extent and intent unknown. Command should consider this when reviewing resupply prioritization.

Co-signed: Major Blackhawk, Major Walker - Salt Dogs Battalion, NCR"</blockquote>

== Laws ==
Dictated by the constitution of the Republic, every citizen of the NCR - civilian or military - must follow these laws.

It is a crime to '''take the life of another''', be it murder or manslaughter. These acts are harshly punished; depending on severity, punishment can reach execution. It is a crime to '''steal from another''', regardless of circumstances, punishable by prison with the possibility of parole.

=== Basic Rights ===
All citizens hold the following universal rights, which may not be infringed upon:
{| style="background:#141414; color:#d0d0d0; border:1px solid #C8A200; width:60%; padding:4px;"
| style="padding:4px 12px;" |
* The right to own personal property
* The right to freedom of expression, religion, and speech
* The right to self-defense
* The right to bear a sidearm and concealed carry inside NCR-controlled territories
* The right to enlist
* The right to an attorney
* The right to remain silent in cases of self-incrimination
* The right to a fair trial
|}
In the case of criminal arrest, all rights, barring the right to remain silent, to a fair trial, and to an attorney, are suspended.

=== Treason ===
All acts of treason are, in most cases, punishable by death. Includes: fraternizing with or providing information to an enemy of the state, terrorism, desertion, and dereliction of duty.

=== Fraudulent Activities ===
Punishable by prison or voluntary labor. Includes: money laundering, identity theft, falsification of reports or official documents, forgery of currency, and the sale/distribution of illicit substances (Jet, Psycho, Turbo).

== New California Republic Army (NCRA) ==
The defense forces of the Republic. The NCRA must tackle conflicts in a non-aggressive way - de-escalate first, deal with threats using the minimum force possible.<blockquote style="background:#111; border-left:4px solid #C8A200; margin:0.8em 2em; padding:0.6em 1em; color:#c8b060; font-style:italic;">"The mission of the NCR is to uphold the law in the region, as well as to try to gain anything valuable - trading with major powers or settlements, or obtaining resources from the area. Expansionism is allowed but only by diplomacy or to expel a threat. Keeping a good image of the Republic is key."</blockquote>

=== Basic Principles ===
{| style="background:#141414; color:#d0d0d0; border:1px solid #C8A200; width:65%; padding:4px;"
| style="padding:4px 12px;" |
* Follow the rules of war and human rights
* Obey the chain of command
* While on duty, do not drink alcohol or gamble
* Treat prisoners with respect and dignity; field execution requires officer or High Command authorization
* Wear your uniform at all times. Dog tags and rank pins must always be visible
* Going off-duty requires chain-of-command approval; always ask command before stepping down

== Branches of the NCRA ==
The New California Republic Army operates a multitude of branches separate from the regular Army. Those range from specialized units to essential supporting roles from the Military Police, the Medical Corps, and the Quartermaster Corps.

=== New California Republic Army Reconnaissance Battalion (Recon) ===
The New California Republic Army Reconnaissance Battalion is one of the specialized battalions in the New California Republic Army, with the most famous Reconnaissance Battalion being the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, or First Recon. Known for their sharpshooting abilities and skirmishing capabilities, the Recon is usually tasked with direct combat support, to provide accurate shots from flanks to take out the hostile squad leaders and junior officers. They are usually sizing with the newly established FORECON, due to their seniority in the unit's history, as well as the Recon having more direct support in combat, as well as their renowned marksmanship.

=== New California Republic Army Force Reconnaissance (FORECON) ===
The New California Republic Army Force Reconnaissance is an NCRA unit separate from Recon, while Recon prioritizes marksmanship and fire support, FORECON provides deep reconnaissance, usually through the usage of NCR troopers who went through FORECON Specialization Courses to become NCR FORECON Infiltrators. And usually sizing with Recon for their deep reconnaissance and Ranger-like unit role.

=== New California Republic Army Quartermaster Corps (QM) ===
The New California Republic Army Quartermaster Corps is the newest branch established, shortly after the Mohave Campaign. Although the role of Quartermasters existed before, and has been officially assigned by military installations' commanding officers, it was never an official branch until then. The Quartermaster Corps assigns a logistics company to every Battalion in the NCRA. Specifically, Requisition Officers. The Quartermasters are recognizable by their black berets. In Wendover, the 3rd Battalion Logistics Supplement Company is attached.

==== Ranks of the Quartermaster Corps ====

* '''Quartermaster''' - Rank and file, or the NCO's, attain the title of Quartermaster if they pass the Quartermaster Corps Qualification, and are usually led by the Requisition Officer, or act as one in one's absence.
* '''Requisition Officer''' - Junior officer within the NCRA, and the highest battalion-level position in the Quartermaster Corps. They are usually seen with other junior officers and senior officers, making sure resources are properly diverted to wherever they are needed to go.

=== New California Republic Army Medical Corps (Medical) ===
The oldest established Corps in the New Californian Republic Army. The New California Republic Army Medical Corps is a non-combat branch consisting of commissioned medical officers, who are licensed M.D's who operate the various medical bays across the NCRA's military installations, helping others with medical expertise the Army can't get enough hands on, so does the Wasteland, as well. They are often one of the most valued targets for kidnapping by both the Raiders and the Legions alike for their skills. They are recognizable by their white lab coats.

=== New California Republic Army Corps of Engineers ===
Established shortly after the Medical Corps, the New California Republic Army Corps of Engineers includes both combat and non-combat personnel in charge of construction, fortification, breaching, vertibird and vehicle maintenance, and silicon oversight. They provide essential work to keep the Army running, usually without any glory or publicity of the other branches.

==== Silicons ====
Silicons are under the direct authority of the New California Republic Army Corps of Engineers and are expected to follow all orders received from NCRA command personnel.

* Silicons are granted the same basic rights as Troopers
* Silicons aligned with the NCR may be granted access to the base and a radio headset
* Silicons can be issued a rank based on Officer discretion
* All ranks held by any silicon are to be considered honorary and hold no real command authority

If a silicon disobeys orders or is exhibiting 'feelings', they should be reported immediately to the 37th Engineering Company for repair and re-tuning.

=== New California Republic Army Military Police Corps (MP) ===
The New California Republic Army Military Police Corps is the official law enforcement branch of the New California Republic Army. They perform everything from investigations, arrests, trials, enforcement of military code on the NCRA troopers, and law enforcement in occupied territories. They are the most hated branch out of all of the Army Branches due to their constant, albeit necessary, enforcement of military regulations on the Troopers. They are often targets of fragging, a term used for intentional friendly fire by disgruntled troopers due to that reason. They are recognizable by their NCR metal helmet with the M.P sprayed on it. In Wendover, the 4th Military Police Brigade is attached to Bonneville Station.

==== Ranks of the Military Police Corps ====

* '''Military Police Specialist''' - The first rank attained by passing the Military Police Law Enforcement training, and usually seen at Platoon or Battalion level posts. They are still in training, and need experience from the Staff Sergeant.
* '''Military Police Staff Sergeant''' - The NCO rank of the NCRA and the Military Police. They are both enforcers, de facto drill sergeants, and trainers for the Specialists. They are the bulk of the Military Police, usually posted at Battalion-level.
* '''Military Police Lieutenant''' - The Junior officer rank of the NCRA and the Military Police. They are sent directly by the Military Police Battalion Command to places they need to be, and have the final say in matters of the Military Code.

== New California Republic Rangers (NCRR) ==
The Rangers - originally descended from Pre-War Rangers - are the elite soldiers of the NCR. A volunteer special force renowned for survival, reconnaissance, scouting, sabotage, and martial arts. Their primary purpose is to deal with threats that the regular NCRA cannot handle.

The Rangers are the living image of NCR ideals of liberty, justice, and freedom from tyrants, slavers, and raiders.

* A '''Chief Ranger''' holds the authority of a Major
* A '''Veteran Ranger''' holds the authority of a Second Lieutenant
* A '''Field Ranger''' holds the authority of a Staff Sergeant
* A '''Patrol Ranger''' holds the authority of Sergeant
* A '''Ranger Recruit''' holds the authority of a Recruit

Rangers operate with autonomy but cooperate with NCRA partners with the exception of the NCRA Major, to whom they all must answer to. They can give orders to the NCRA if no NCRA officer is available. Rangers are expected to follow NCRA Military Code while on base, and may be punished by Military Police.

== Crime and Punishment ==
Punishment in the NCR is divided between Non-Judicial and Judicial Punishment.

=== Non-Judicial Punishment (NJP) ===
For less severe offenses. Given by NCOs and Officers in the field. These punishments must best fit the severity of the offense and cannot be cruel or arbitrary.

* Reprimand · Forfeiture of Pay · Extra Duty · Diminished Rations
* Confinement to Base or Brig
* Loss of Rank (requires Captain or higher approval)

=== Judicial Punishment (JP) ===
Determined after court martial for major or capital offenses.

* Other Than Honorable Discharge · Dishonorable Discharge
* Execution via Firing Squad or Hanging
* Barred from Reenlistment

=== Court Martial ===
Requested by high-ranking members or the Military Police. Handles serious crimes between NCRA and NCRR. Non-military personnel are not sentenced to Court Martial - they receive a Civilian Court Trial. Court martials take time; they are not instantaneous.

== List of Offenses ==

'''Modifiers:''' Aggravating factors (repeating an offense, refusing to cooperate) make punishment harsher. Mitigating factors (surrendering, cooperating) make it less harsh.

== Dress Code ==
All on-duty personnel must be in full uniform during all NCR operations. Soldiers may wear non-NCR apparel (cowboy hats, bandanas), provided they remain identifiable as NCR personnel. The Commanding Officer has the right to declare enforced helmet wearing by Troopers. It is otherwise assumed to not be enforced. Anyone of higher rank may still order any personnel below them to wear a protective helmet.

=== Hair, Hygiene Regulations ===
Members of the Military, regardless of gender, status, or situation, must maintain a state of uniformity and cleanness to exert the professionalism of the military; as such, all personnel must groom themselves, and also maintain a degree of hygiene suitable for the proper conduct of one's station.

==== Hair Code ====
Members of the Military must not have their hair below their shoulders, tied or not. They are also not allowed to keep one's hair in a state of clutter and chaos. One's hair must also not be of unnatural hair color. Complaints for the legitimacy of their hair color may be requested so by their nearest Medical Officer.

==== Hygiene Code ====
Members of the Military must maintain their hygiene at every possible moment during their duty. Those are: body odor, general dirtiness, blood, vomit, or general improper fragrance of one's body.

=== Weapon Regulations ===
Weapons should be holstered when not in use. Personnel must be allowed to holster on their first offense. Under normal circumstances, weapons may only be fired in the firing range. Weapons may not be left unattended unless properly secured in spaces intended for them, like weapon racks, cabinets, or the armory.

== Criminals and Prisoners of War ==

=== Criminals ===
Individuals not part of any faction who have broken NCR laws, committed crimes against NCR citizens or personnel, or undermined NCR operations. Criminals are protected under NCR laws - they must be treated humanely, provided with food, clothing, and shelter, and may not be abused while non-resisting. In the absence of non-lethal methods to detain and secure a inmate, lethal methods are authorized if they attempt to escape.

=== Prisoners of War (POWs) ===
Individuals who are part of a faction currently at war with the NCR. POWs are protected under NCR laws and must be treated humanely. Anyone releasing a POW without authorization is charged with Sedition or Treason.

=== Executions ===
Executions fall under the server rules of [[Rules|Round Removal]] and should be used extremely sparingly and with bulletproof In Character reasoning. (DO NOT Round Remove people because they personally bother you or attempting escape, give the player their own story!). You are expected and '''demanded''' to fax High Command with execution post-mortem reports (who, when, where, and why are bare essentials if you're not into paperwork).

Military Police are allowed to execute prisoners/prisoners of war should they deem the subject un-detainable; Or under '''extraordinary circumstances''' as approved by the CO/High Command. Military Police are '''required to hold the subject for as long as possible''' (I.E: Give them solitary confinement first or some similar 'second chance' punishment) before deeming them a drain on resources to keep.

== Relations ==
By server rules, every faction begins the round as 'neutral' to each other. The below table is purely for lore reference and shouldn't be an excuse to kill any member of any faction on sight.

!Notes
|-
|[[Brotherhood of Steel]]
|Tense
|Due to the events of '''[[Brotherhood of Steel#The Kearny Occupation: The "Silent Years"|Operation Sunburst (2276)]]''', the NCR severally wounded the 509th chapter's presence in Wendover. The brotherhood regards the NCR as a oppressive force to their goals- but the NCR seem confident the brotherhood are too busy licking their wounds to impede in the salt dogs battalion's diplomatic goals within the area.
|-
|[[Caesar's Legion]]
|Tense
|The NCR and Legion are ideologically opposed on almost every issue. This, in combination with a long and storied history of conflict between the two factions, leads to a deep enmity that often spirals into open conflict. Only seen cooperating against a bigger, common, enemy.
|-
|[[Followers of the Apocalypse]]
|Friendly
|The NCR greatly respects and utilizes the medical expertise of the followers. The only possible conflict these two factions have is polite political disagreements stemming from the follower's staunch position of pacifism.
|-
|[[Townsfolk]]
|Friendly
|The townsfolk are more than happy to exchange with the NCR for goods and services- the NCR are more than happy to expand their diplomatic relations with like-minded individuals within Wendover.
|-
|[[Wastelanders]]
|Neutral
|Wastelanders are, and forever will be, a wildcard within Wendover. However, NCR law dictates that they are entitled to a set of basic rights, up-to-but-not-excluding: the right to a sidearm, the right for freedom of expression, and the right to enlist. The latter being the main draw for the NCR.
|-
|[[Vault Dwellers]]
|Neutral
|Similar to their position on the Wastelanders- the NCR views the Vault as proper citizens of the region, entitled to every right as a citizen of the NCR. Especially the right to enlist.
|-
|[[Wasteland Tribes]]
|Neutral
|The Yuma Tribal views the presence of the Bear within their homeland as an obvious scheme for colonization. The NCR view their expansionist efforts as more merciful than anything the other two major factions could offer. At the end of the day, the two remain isolated and can go weeks without any diplomatic attempts between them.
|-
|[[Outlaws]]
|Tense
|Thieves and ne'er-do-wells. A small, but organized, threat to the NCR's diplomatic goals for the region.

The '''New California Republic Rangers''' (NCRR) are the volunteer special force of the New California Republic. Rooted in the values of the Republic and the Desert Rangers, the primary goal of Rangers is to deal with threats the army cannot handle, peacekeeping and law enforcement around the borders of NCR territory, and scouting. Founded by President Tandi, with Seth being honored as the "first" ranger of the NCR, the title of "Chief Ranger" has been passed around, with multiple people now holding the title. While being regarded as the elite forces of the NCR, the rangers are still guilty of internal conflict and corruption.

== History ==

=== 2160: Origins ===
Before the New California Republic was even formed, the then small settlement of Shady Sands was protected by '''Captain Seth''' and his guard, protecting the people of Shady Sands from threats from the various threats of the wasteland. '''Seth''' eventually went missing and was presumed dead after going on an investigation towards Vault 13. After his death, he was honored as the founder and given the title "First Ranger" by '''President Tandi'''.

=== 2160-2241: Expansion ===
As the numbers of the Rangers grew, the Rangers were made an independent law enforcement agency focused on peacekeeping inside and outside the Republic's borders. A core mission of theirs was the abolishment of slavery, which they fought the practice for decades eventually leading to legislation happening in 2241 abolishing slavery in Shady Sands and the lands south of it.

The Rangers operated in secret, due to their low numbers, making a series of safehouses and even hiding their headquarters in an auto shop in Shady Sands. They raided slave outposts in and outside the Republic's borders, fighting and winning against often impossible odds for the small Ranger force. Their determination proved invaluable to the young Republic, and their cause eventually turned into protecting the wasteland from all forms of tyranny.

=== 2271: Unification ===
The Rangers underwent reform in 2271 after '''Chief Ranger Elise''' signed the Ranger Unification Treaty with the '''Desert Rangers''', a group of vigilantes who trace their origin back to the '''Texas Rangers'''. Following the treaty, '''Chief Elise''' dedicated the Rangers to supporting the Republic in the Mojave Campaign and protecting crucial assets such as Hoover Dam and New Vegas, skirmishing with the eastern army of Caesar's Legion. The Rangers ethics were questioned during the battles with Caesar's Legion, as the Legion often resorted to cruel tactics such as giving civilians explosives to exploit the Rangers.

=== 2277: First Battle of Hoover Dam ===
The Rangers single-handedly turned the tide of First Battle of Hoover of Dam with a trapped laid by '''Chief Hanlon''', with assistance from '''NCRA First Recon''', where they led the Legion forces into Boulder City and detonated large stashes of explosives in the buildings of Boulder City, destroying the Legion's main force and forcing them to retreat back east. The Rangers were regarded as heroes following the battle, and moved onto protecting the Mojave wasteland from their six Ranger stations Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, and Foxtrot.

=== 2296: Utah Campaign and Wendover ===
Following the announcement of the Utah Campaign, a small detachment of Rangers was sent with the "Salt Dogs" Battalion to help secure the region for larger NCR involvement over the crucial resource, salt. Originally operating inside the Salt Dogs Battalion, the Rangers eventually established '''Ranger Station Juliet''' and now focus on their original goals of abolitionism and enforcing law in the wastes.

Founded by Aradesh and his daughter Tandi in Shady Sands, it is now led by President Aaron Kimball. The NCR's mission is to restore civilization, uplift infrastructure and economic frameworks, and foster peace. But the Republic is not devoid of flaws: it grapples with expansion, territorial disputes, wavering loyalties, and rising corruption.

== Bonneville Station ==

=== The Salt Dogs Battalion ===
The NCR's foothold east of Nevada is held by the '''Salt Dogs Battalion''', garrisoned at Bonneville Station on the Nevada side of the Wendover bridge. The Utah side is maintained as a forward checkpoint on rotation. The bridge itself is a permanent NCR asset - it does not change hands.

The battalion is commanded jointly by '''Major Blackhawk''' and '''Major Walker'''. Intelligence operations are coordinated by '''DAGGER-02''', a Ranger attached from regional command.

Wendover sits at the last real chokepoint before Utah opens into open wastes. I-80 runs through it. The salt trade runs through it. Whatever moves east or west in this region moves through Bonneville, and the Salt Dogs are there to make sure the NCR has a say in how it moves.

We're here for I-80 and salt. Wendover is the last real chokepoint before Utah opens up. The salt funds the operation, which matters more now than it did when we were assigned here.

Nevada side of the bridge is home base. Utah side is a forward checkpoint on rotation. The bridge stays ours.

The Brotherhood has dug into the old airfield on the Utah side. They're not here by accident and they aren't telling us why. Nothing actionable yet. Legion presence has been noted in the region. Unknown which Legio, considering the civil war. Extent and intent unknown. Command should consider this when reviewing resupply prioritization.

It is a crime to '''take the life of another''', be it murder or manslaughter. These acts are harshly punished; depending on severity, punishment can reach execution. It is a crime to '''steal from another''', regardless of circumstances, punishable by prison with the possibility of parole.

=== Basic Rights ===
All citizens hold the following universal rights, which may not be infringed upon:
{| style="background:#141414; color:#d0d0d0; border:1px solid #C8A200; width:60%; padding:4px;"
| style="padding:4px 12px;" |
* The right to own personal property
* The right to freedom of expression, religion, and speech
* The right to self-defense
* The right to bear a sidearm and concealed carry inside NCR-controlled territories
* The right to enlist
* The right to an attorney
* The right to remain silent in cases of self-incrimination
* The right to a fair trial
|}
In the case of criminal arrest, all rights, barring the right to remain silent, to a fair trial, and to an attorney, are suspended.

=== Treason ===
All acts of treason are, in most cases, punishable by death. Includes: fraternizing with or providing information to an enemy of the state, terrorism, desertion, and dereliction of duty.

=== Fraudulent Activities ===
Punishable by prison or voluntary labor. Includes: money laundering, identity theft, falsification of reports or official documents, forgery of currency, and the sale/distribution of illicit substances (Jet, Psycho, Turbo).

== New California Republic Army (NCRA) ==
The defense forces of the Republic. The NCRA must tackle conflicts in a non-aggressive way - de-escalate first, deal with threats using the minimum force possible.<blockquote style="background:#111; border-left:4px solid #C8A200; margin:0.8em 2em; padding:0.6em 1em; color:#c8b060; font-style:italic;">"The mission of the NCR is to uphold the law in the region, as well as to try to gain anything valuable - trading with major powers or settlements, or obtaining resources from the area. Expansionism is allowed but only by diplomacy or to expel a threat. Keeping a good image of the Republic is key."</blockquote>

=== Basic Principles ===
{| style="background:#141414; color:#d0d0d0; border:1px solid #C8A200; width:65%; padding:4px;"
| style="padding:4px 12px;" |
* Follow the rules of war and human rights
* Obey the chain of command
* While on duty, do not drink alcohol or gamble

== Branches of the NCRA ==
The New California Republic Army operates a multitude of branches separate from the regular Army. Those range from specialized units to essential supporting roles from the Military Police, the Medical Corps, and the Quartermaster Corps.

=== New California Republic Army Reconnaissance Battalion (Recon) ===
The New California Republic Army Reconnaissance Battalion is one of the specialized battalions in the New California Republic Army, with the most famous Reconnaissance Battalion being the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, or First Recon. Known for their sharpshooting abilities and skirmishing capabilities, the Recon is usually tasked with direct combat support, to provide accurate shots from flanks to take out the hostile squad leaders and junior officers. They are usually sizing with the newly established FORECON, due to their seniority in the unit's history, as well as the Recon having more direct support in combat, as well as their renowned marksmanship.

=== New California Republic Army Force Reconnaissance (FORECON) ===
The New California Republic Army Force Reconnaissance is an NCRA unit separate from Recon, while Recon prioritizes marksmanship and fire support, FORECON provides deep reconnaissance, usually through the usage of NCR troopers who went through FORECON Specialization Courses to become NCR FORECON Infiltrators. And usually sizing with Recon for their deep reconnaissance and Ranger-like unit role.

=== New California Republic Army Quartermaster Corps (QM) ===
The New California Republic Army Quartermaster Corps is the newest branch established, shortly after the Mohave Campaign. Although the role of Quartermasters existed before, and has been officially assigned by military installations' commanding officers, it was never an official branch until then. The Quartermaster Corps assigns a logistics company to every Battalion in the NCRA. Specifically, Requisition Officers. The Quartermasters are recognizable by their black berets. In Wendover, the 3rd Battalion Logistics Supplement Company is attached.

==== Ranks of the Quartermaster Corps ====

* '''Quartermaster''' - Rank and file, or the NCO's, attain the title of Quartermaster if they pass the Quartermaster Corps Qualification, and are usually led by the Requisition Officer, or act as one in one's absence.
* '''Requisition Officer''' - Junior officer within the NCRA, and the highest battalion-level position in the Quartermaster Corps. They are usually seen with other junior officers and senior officers, making sure resources are properly diverted to wherever they are needed to go.

=== New California Republic Army Medical Corps (Medical) ===
The oldest established Corps in the New Californian Republic Army. The New California Republic Army Medical Corps is a non-combat branch consisting of commissioned medical officers, who are licensed M.D's who operate the various medical bays across the NCRA's military installations, helping others with medical expertise the Army can't get enough hands on, so does the Wasteland, as well. They are often one of the most valued targets for kidnapping by both the Raiders and the Legions alike for their skills. They are recognizable by their white lab coats.

=== New California Republic Army Corps of Engineers ===
Established shortly after the Medical Corps, the New California Republic Army Corps of Engineers includes both combat and non-combat personnel in charge of construction, fortification, breaching, vertibird and vehicle maintenance, and silicon oversight. They provide essential work to keep the Army running, usually without any glory or publicity of the other branches.

==== Silicons ====
Silicons are under the direct authority of the New California Republic Army Corps of Engineers and are expected to follow all orders received from NCRA command personnel.

* Silicons are granted the same basic rights as Troopers
* Silicons aligned with the NCR may be granted access to the base and a radio headset
* Silicons can be issued a rank based on Officer discretion
* All ranks held by any silicon are to be considered honorary and hold no real command authority

If a silicon disobeys orders or is exhibiting 'feelings', they should be reported immediately to the 37th Engineering Company for repair and re-tuning.

=== New California Republic Army Military Police Corps (MP) ===
The New California Republic Army Military Police Corps is the official law enforcement branch of the New California Republic Army. They perform everything from investigations, arrests, trials, enforcement of military code on the NCRA troopers, and law enforcement in occupied territories. They are the most hated branch out of all of the Army Branches due to their constant, albeit necessary, enforcement of military regulations on the Troopers. They are often targets of fragging, a term used for intentional friendly fire by disgruntled troopers due to that reason. They are recognizable by their NCR metal helmet with the M.P sprayed on it. In Wendover, the 4th Military Police Brigade is attached to Bonneville Station.

==== Ranks of the Military Police Corps ====

* '''Military Police Specialist''' - The first rank attained by passing the Military Police Law Enforcement training, and usually seen at Platoon or Battalion level posts. They are still in training, and need experience from the Staff Sergeant.
* '''Military Police Staff Sergeant''' - The NCO rank of the NCRA and the Military Police. They are both enforcers, de facto drill sergeants, and trainers for the Specialists. They are the bulk of the Military Police, usually posted at Battalion-level.
* '''Military Police Lieutenant''' - The Junior officer rank of the NCRA and the Military Police. They are sent directly by the Military Police Battalion Command to places they need to be, and have the final say in matters of the Military Code.

== New California Republic Rangers (NCRR) ==
The Rangers - originally descended from Pre-War Rangers - are the elite soldiers of the NCR. A volunteer special force renowned for survival, reconnaissance, scouting, sabotage, and martial arts. Their primary purpose is to deal with threats that the regular NCRA cannot handle.

The Rangers are the living image of NCR ideals of liberty, justice, and freedom from tyrants, slavers, and raiders.

* A '''Chief Ranger''' holds the authority of a Major
* A '''Veteran Ranger''' holds the authority of a Second Lieutenant
* A '''Field Ranger''' holds the authority of a Staff Sergeant
* A '''Patrol Ranger''' holds the authority of Sergeant
* A '''Ranger Recruit''' holds the authority of a Recruit

Rangers operate with autonomy but cooperate with NCRA partners. They can give orders to the NCRA if no NCRA officer is available. Rangers are expected to follow NCRA Military Code while on base, and may be punished by Military Police.

== Crime and Punishment ==
Punishment in the NCR is divided between Non-Judicial and Judicial Punishment.

=== Non-Judicial Punishment (NJP) ===
For less severe offenses. Given by NCOs and Officers in the field. These punishments must best fit the severity of the offense and cannot be cruel or arbitrary.

* Reprimand · Forfeiture of Pay · Extra Duty · Diminished Rations
* Confinement to Base or Brig
* Loss of Rank (requires Captain or higher approval)

=== Judicial Punishment (JP) ===
Determined after court martial for major or capital offenses.

* Other Than Honorable Discharge · Dishonorable Discharge
* Execution via Firing Squad or Hanging
* Barred from Reenlistment

=== Court Martial ===
Requested by high-ranking members or the Military Police. Handles serious crimes between NCRA and NCRR. Non-military personnel are not sentenced to Court Martial - they receive a Civilian Court Trial. Court martials take time; they are not instantaneous.

== List of Offenses ==
(Category Key: MR - Misdemeanor | MO - Major Offense | CO - Capital Offense)

'''Modifiers:''' Aggravating factors (repeating an offense, refusing to cooperate) make punishment harsher. Mitigating factors (surrendering, cooperating) make it less harsh.

== Dress Code ==
All on-duty personnel must be in full uniform during all NCR operations. Soldiers may wear non-NCR apparel (cowboy hats, bandanas), provided they remain identifiable as NCR personnel. The Commanding Officer has the right to declare enforced helmet wearing by Troopers. It is otherwise assumed to not be enforced. Anyone of higher rank may still order any personnel below them to wear a protective helmet.

=== Hair Regulations ===
Hair must be well-groomed, natural color, cut no further than the shoulders or tied back, and fit underneath a helmet.

=== Weapon Regulations ===
Weapons should be holstered when not in use. Personnel must be allowed to holster on their first offense. Under normal circumstances, weapons may only be fired in the firing range. Weapons may not be left unattended unless properly secured in spaces intended for them, like weapon racks, cabinets, or the armory.

== Criminals and Prisoners of War ==

=== Criminals ===
Individuals not part of any faction who have broken NCR laws, committed crimes against NCR citizens or personnel, or undermined NCR operations. Criminals are protected under NCR laws - they must be treated humanely, provided with food, clothing, and shelter, and may not be abused while non-resisting. In the absence of non-lethal methods to detain and secure a inmate- lethal methods are authorized if they attempt to escape.

=== Prisoners of War (POWs) ===
Individuals who are part of a faction currently at war with the NCR. POWs are protected under NCR laws and must be treated humanely. Anyone releasing a POW without authorization is charged with Sedition or Treason.

=== Executions ===
Executions fall under the server rules of [[Rules|Round Removal]] and should be used extremely sparingly and with bulletproof In Character reasoning. (DO NOT Round Remove people because they personally bother you or attempting escape, give the player their own story!). You are expected and '''demanded''' to fax High Command with execution post-mortem reports (who, when, where, and why are bare essentials if you're not into paperwork).

Military Police are allowed to execute prisoners/prisoners of war should they deem the subject un-detainable; Or under '''extraordinary circumstances''' as approved by the CO/High Command. Military Police are '''required to hold the subject for as long as possible''' (I.E: Give them solitary confinement first or some similar 'second chance' punishment) before deeming them a drain on resources to keep.

== Relations ==
By server rules, every faction begins the round as 'neutral' to each other. The below table is purely for lore reference and shouldn't be an excuse to kill any member of any faction on sight.
{| class="wikitable"

!Notes
|-
|[[Brotherhood of Steel]]
|Tense
|Due to the events of '''[[Brotherhood of Steel#The Kearny Occupation: The "Silent Years"|Operation Sunburst (2276)]]''', the NCR severally wounded the 509th chapter's presence in Wendover. The brotherhood regards the NCR as a oppressive force to their goals- but the NCR seem confident the brotherhood are too busy licking their wounds to impede in the salt dogs battalion's diplomatic goals within the area.
|-
|[[Caesar's Legion]]
|Tense
|The NCR and Legion are ideologically opposed on almost every issue. This, in combination with a long and storied history of conflict between the two factions, leads to a deep enmity that often spirals into open conflict. Only seen cooperating against a bigger, common, enemy.
|-
|[[Followers of the Apocalypse]]
|Friendly
|The NCR greatly respects and utilizes the medical expertise of the followers. The only possible conflict these two factions have is polite political disagreements stemming from the follower's staunch position of pacifism.
|-
|[[Townsfolk]]
|Friendly
|The townsfolk are more than happy to exchange with the NCR for goods and services- the NCR are more than happy to expand their diplomatic relations with like-minded individuals within Wendover.
|-
|[[Wastelanders]]
|Neutral
|Wastelanders are, and forever will be, a wildcard within Wendover. However, NCR law dictates that they are entitled to a set of basic rights, up-to-but-not-excluding: the right to a sidearm, the right for freedom of expression, and the right to enlist. The latter being the main draw for the NCR.
|-
|[[Vault Dwellers]]
|Neutral
|Similar to their position on the Wastelanders- the NCR views the Vault as proper citizens of the region, entitled to every right as a citizen of the NCR. Especially the right to enlist.
|-
|[[Wasteland Tribes]]
|Neutral
|The Yuma Tribal views the presence of the Bear within their homeland as an obvious scheme for colonization. The NCR view their expansionist efforts as more merciful than anything the other two major factions could offer. At the end of the day, the two remain isolated and can go weeks without any diplomatic attempts between them.
|-
|[[Outlaws]]
|Tense
|Thieves and ne'er-do-wells. A small, but organized, threat to the NCR's diplomatic goals for the region.

Founded by Aradesh and his daughter Tandi in Shady Sands, it is now led by President Aaron Kimball. The NCR's mission is to restore civilization, uplift infrastructure and economic frameworks, and foster peace. But the Republic is not devoid of flaws: it grapples with expansion, territorial disputes, wavering loyalties, and rising corruption.

== Bonneville Station ==

=== The Salt Dogs Battalion ===
The NCR's foothold east of Nevada is held by the '''Salt Dogs Battalion''', garrisoned at Bonneville Station on the Nevada side of the Wendover bridge. The Utah side is maintained as a forward checkpoint on rotation. The bridge itself is a permanent NCR asset - it does not change hands.

The battalion is commanded jointly by '''Major Blackhawk''' and '''Major Walker'''. Intelligence operations are coordinated by '''DAGGER-02''', a Ranger attached from regional command.

Wendover sits at the last real chokepoint before Utah opens into open wastes. I-80 runs through it. The salt trade runs through it. Whatever moves east or west in this region moves through Bonneville, and the Salt Dogs are there to make sure the NCR has a say in how it moves.

=== Strategic Context: DAGGER-02 Field Report ===
<blockquote style="background:#111; border-left:4px solid #C8A200; margin:0.8em 2em; padding:0.6em 1em; color:#c8b060; font-style:italic; font-family:serif;">"Station is established. Major Blackhawk and Major Walker are on the ground and operational.

I'll be plain: given the current situation back home, I'm not certain who is reading this or in what capacity anymore. I'm filing it anyway. That's the job.

We're here for I-80 and salt. Wendover is the last real chokepoint before Utah opens up. The salt funds the operation, which matters more now than it did when we were assigned here.

Nevada side of the bridge is home base. Utah side is a forward checkpoint on rotation. The bridge stays ours.

The Brotherhood has dug into the old airfield on the Utah side. They're not here by accident and they aren't telling us why. Nothing actionable yet. Legion presence has been noted in the region. Unknown which Legio, considering the civil war. Extent and intent unknown. Command should consider this when reviewing resupply prioritization.

Co-signed: Major Blackhawk, Major Walker - Salt Dogs Battalion, NCR"</blockquote>

== Laws ==
Dictated by the constitution of the Republic, every citizen of the NCR - civilian or military - must follow these laws.

It is a crime to '''take the life of another''', be it murder or manslaughter. These acts are harshly punished; depending on severity, punishment can reach execution. It is a crime to '''steal from another''', regardless of circumstances, punishable by prison with the possibility of parole.

=== Basic Rights ===
All citizens hold the following universal rights, which may not be infringed upon:
{| style="background:#141414; color:#d0d0d0; border:1px solid #C8A200; width:60%; padding:4px;"
| style="padding:4px 12px;" |
* The right to own personal property
* The right to freedom of expression, religion, and speech
* The right to self-defense
* The right to bear a sidearm and concealed carry inside NCR-controlled territories
* The right to enlist
* The right to an attorney
* The right to remain silent in cases of self-incrimination
* The right to a fair trial
|}
In the case of criminal arrest, all rights, barring the right to remain silent, to a fair trial, and to an attorney, are suspended.

=== Treason ===
All acts of treason are, in most cases, punishable by death. Includes: fraternizing with or providing information to an enemy of the state, terrorism, desertion, and dereliction of duty.

=== Fraudulent Activities ===
Punishable by prison or voluntary labor. Includes: money laundering, identity theft, falsification of reports or official documents, forgery of currency, and the sale/distribution of illicit substances (Jet, Psycho, Turbo).

== New California Republic Army (NCRA) ==
The defense forces of the Republic. The NCRA must tackle conflicts in a non-aggressive way - de-escalate first, deal with threats using the minimum force possible.<blockquote style="background:#111; border-left:4px solid #C8A200; margin:0.8em 2em; padding:0.6em 1em; color:#c8b060; font-style:italic;">"The mission of the NCR is to uphold the law in the region, as well as to try to gain anything valuable - trading with major powers or settlements, or obtaining resources from the area. Expansionism is allowed but only by diplomacy or to expel a threat. Keeping a good image of the Republic is key."</blockquote>

=== Basic Principles ===
{| style="background:#141414; color:#d0d0d0; border:1px solid #C8A200; width:65%; padding:4px;"
| style="padding:4px 12px;" |
* Follow the rules of war and human rights
* Obey the chain of command
* While on duty, do not drink alcohol or gamble
* Treat prisoners with respect and dignity; field execution requires officer or High Command authorization
* Wear your uniform at all times. Dog tags and rank pins must always be visible
* Going off-duty requires chain-of-command approval; always ask command before stepping down
|}
'''Field Promotions''' are legal. An NCO may promote enlisted personnel; a CO may promote an NCO for exceptional service. Cannot promote between branches, nor skip from enlisted to officer.

== Branches of the NCRA ==
The New California Republic Army operates a multitude of branches separate from the regular Army. Those range from specialized units to essential supporting roles from the Military Police, the Medical Corps, and the Quartermaster Corps.

=== New California Republic Army Reconnaissance Battalion (Recon) ===
The New California Republic Army Reconnaissance Battalion is one of the specialized battalions in the New California Republic Army, with the most famous Reconnaissance Battalion being the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, or First Recon. Known for their sharpshooting abilities and skirmishing capabilities, the Recon is usually tasked with direct combat support, to provide accurate shots from flanks to take out the hostile squad leaders and junior officers. They are usually sizing with the newly established FORECON, due to their seniority in the unit's history, as well as the Recon having more direct support in combat, as well as their renowned marksmanship.

=== New California Republic Army Force Reconnaissance (FORECON) ===
The New California Republic Army Force Reconnaissance is an NCRA unit separate from Recon, while Recon prioritizes marksmanship and fire support, FORECON provides deep reconnaissance, usually through the usage of NCR troopers who went through FORECON Specialization Courses to become NCR FORECON Infiltrators. And usually sizing with Recon for their deep reconnaissance and Ranger-like unit role.

=== New California Republic Army Quartermaster Corps (QM) ===
The New California Republic Army Quartermaster Corps is the newest branch established, shortly after the Mohave Campaign. Although the role of Quartermasters existed before, and has been officially assigned by military installations' commanding officers, it was never an official branch until then. The Quartermaster Corps assigns a logistics company to every Battalion in the NCRA. Specifically, Requisition Officers. The Quartermasters are recognizable by their black berets. In Wendover, the 3rd Battalion Logistics Supplement Company is attached.

==== Ranks of the Quartermaster Corps ====

* '''Quartermaster''' - Rank and file, or the NCO's, attain the title of Quartermaster if they pass the Quartermaster Corps Qualification, and are usually led by the Requisition Officer, or act as one in one's absence.
* '''Requisition Officer''' - Junior officer within the NCRA, and the highest battalion-level position in the Quartermaster Corps. They are usually seen with other junior officers and senior officers, making sure resources are properly diverted to wherever they are needed to go.

=== New California Republic Army Medical Corps (Medical) ===
The oldest established Corps in the New Californian Republic Army. The New California Republic Army Medical Corps is a non-combat branch consisting of commissioned medical officers, who are licensed M.D's who operate the various medical bays across the NCRA's military installations, helping others with medical expertise the Army can't get enough hands on, so does the Wasteland, as well. They are often one of the most valued targets for kidnapping by both the Raiders and the Legions alike for their skills. They are recognizable by their white lab coats.

=== New California Republic Army Military Police Corps (MP) ===
The New California Republic Army Military Police Corps is the official law enforcement branch of the New California Republic Army. They perform everything from investigations, arrests, trials, enforcement of military code on the NCRA troopers, and law enforcement in occupied territories. They are the most hated branch out of all of the Army Branches due to their constant, albeit necessary, enforcement of military regulations on the Troopers. They are often targets of fragging, a term used for intentional friendly fire by disgruntled troopers due to that reason. They are recognizable by their NCR metal helmet with the M.P sprayed on it. In Wendover, the 4th Military Police Brigade is attached to Bonneville Station.

==== Ranks of the Military Police Corps ====

* '''Military Police Specialist''' - The first rank attained by passing the Military Police Law Enforcement training, and usually seen at Platoon or Battalion level posts. They are still in training, and need experience from the Staff Sergeant.
* '''Military Police Staff Sergeant''' - The NCO rank of the NCRA and the Military Police. They are both enforcers, de facto drill sergeants, and trainers for the Specialists. They are the bulk of the Military Police, usually posted at Battalion-level.
* '''Military Police Lieutenant''' - The Junior officer rank of the NCRA and the Military Police. They are sent directly by the Military Police Battalion Command to places they need to be, and have the final say in matters of the Military Code.

== New California Republic Rangers (NCRR) ==
The Rangers - originally descended from Pre-War Rangers - are the elite soldiers of the NCR. A volunteer special force renowned for survival, reconnaissance, scouting, sabotage, and martial arts. Their primary purpose is to deal with threats that the regular NCRA cannot handle.

The Rangers are the living image of NCR ideals of liberty, justice, and freedom from tyrants, slavers, and raiders.

* A '''Ranger''' holds authority equivalent to a Sergeant.
* A '''Veteran Ranger''' holds authority equivalent to an Officer.
* Rangers operate with autonomy but cooperate with NCRA partners. They can give orders to the NCRA if no NCRA command is available.

== Crime and Punishment ==
Punishment in the NCR is divided between Non-Judicial and Judicial Punishment.

=== Non-Judicial Punishment (NJP) ===
For less severe offenses. Given by NCOs and Officers in the field. These punishments must best fit the severity of the offense and cannot be cruel or arbitrary.

* Reprimand · Forfeiture of Pay · Extra Duty · Diminished Rations
* Confinement to Base or Brig
* Loss of Rank (requires Captain or higher approval)

=== Judicial Punishment (JP) ===
Determined after court martial for major or capital offenses.

* Other Than Honorable Discharge · Dishonorable Discharge
* Execution via Firing Squad or Hanging
* Barred from Reenlistment

=== Court Martial ===
Requested by high-ranking members or the Military Police. Handles serious crimes between NCRA and NCRR. Non-military personnel are not sentenced to Court Martial - they receive a Civilian Court Trial. Court martials take time; they are not instantaneous.

== List of Offenses ==
(Category Key: MR - Misdemeanor | MO - Major Offense | CO - Capital Offense)

'''Modifiers:''' Aggravating factors (repeating an offense, refusing to cooperate) make punishment harsher. Mitigating factors (surrendering, cooperating) make it less harsh.

== Dress Code ==
All on-duty personnel must be in full uniform during all NCR operations. Cadets cannot modify their issued loadout. Upon reaching NCO rank, soldiers may wear non-NCR apparel (cowboy hats, bandanas), provided they remain identifiable as NCR personnel.

=== Hair Regulations ===
Hair must be well-groomed, natural color, cut no further than the shoulders or tied back, and fit underneath a helmet. Helmets may be removed indoors when appropriate.

=== Weapon Regulations ===
Low-ranking troopers use weapons issued at shift start and may not change them without authorization. Weapons manufactured by other factions are '''strictly forbidden''' and will be held in the armory until repurposed. High-quality weapons are distributed by logistics to where they are needed.

== Criminals and Prisoners of War ==

=== Criminals ===
Individuals not part of any faction who have broken NCR laws, committed crimes against NCR citizens or personnel, or undermined NCR operations. Criminals are protected under NCR laws - they must be treated humanely, provided with food, clothing, and shelter, and may not be abused while non-resisting. In the absence of non-lethal methods to detain and secure a inmate- lethal methods are authorized if they attempt to escape.

=== Prisoners of War (POWs) ===
Individuals who are part of a faction currently at war with the NCR. POWs are protected under NCR laws and must be treated humanely. Anyone releasing a POW without authorization is charged with Sedition or Treason.

=== Executions ===
Executions fall under the server rules of [[Rules|Round Removal]] and should be used extremely sparingly and with bulletproof In Character reasoning. (DO NOT Round Remove people because they personally bother you or attempting escape, give the player their own story!). You are expected and '''demanded''' to fax High Command with execution post-mortem reports (who, when, where, and why are bare essentials if you're not into paperwork).

Military Police are allowed to execute prisoners/prisoners of war should they deem the subject un-detainable; Or under '''extraordinary circumstances''' as approved by the CO/High Command. Military Police are '''required to hold the subject for as long as possible''' (I.E: Give them solitary confinement first or some similar 'second chance' punishment) before deeming them a drain on resources to keep.

== Relations ==
By server rules, every faction begins the round as 'neutral' to each other. The below table is purely for lore reference and shouldn't be an excuse to kill any member of any faction on sight.

!Notes
|-
|[[Brotherhood of Steel]]
|Tense
|Due to the events of '''[[Brotherhood of Steel#The Kearny Occupation: The "Silent Years"|Operation Sunburst (2276)]]''', the NCR severally wounded the 509th chapter's presence in Wendover. The brotherhood regards the NCR as a oppressive force to their goals- but the NCR seem confident the brotherhood are too busy licking their wounds to impede in the salt dogs battalion's diplomatic goals within the area.
|-
|[[Caesar's Legion]]
|Tense
|The NCR and Legion are ideologically opposed on almost every issue. This, in combination with a long and storied history of conflict between the two factions, leads to a deep enmity that often spirals into open conflict. Only seen cooperating against a bigger, common, enemy.
|-
|[[Followers of the Apocalypse]]
|Friendly
|The NCR greatly respects and utilizes the medical expertise of the followers. The only possible conflict these two factions have is polite political disagreements stemming from the follower's staunch position of pacifism.
|-
|[[Townsfolk]]
|Friendly
|The townsfolk are more than happy to exchange with the NCR for goods and services- the NCR are more than happy to expand their diplomatic relations with like-minded individuals within Wendover.
|-
|[[Wastelanders]]
|Neutral
|Wastelanders are, and forever will be, a wildcard within Wendover. However, NCR law dictates that they are entitled to a set of basic rights, up-to-but-not-excluding: the right to a sidearm, the right for freedom of expression, and the right to enlist. The latter being the main draw for the NCR.
|-
|[[Vault Dwellers]]
|Neutral
|Similar to their position on the Wastelanders- the NCR views the Vault as proper citizens of the region, entitled to every right as a citizen of the NCR. Especially the right to enlist.
|-
|[[Wasteland Tribes]]
|Neutral
|The Yuma Tribal views the presence of the Bear within their homeland as an obvious scheme for colonization. The NCR view their expansionist efforts as more merciful than anything the other two major factions could offer. At the end of the day, the two remain isolated and can go weeks without any diplomatic attempts between them.
|-
|[[Outlaws]]
|Tense
|Thieves and ne'er-do-wells. A small, but organized, threat to the NCR's diplomatic goals for the region.
