Re: [GZG] Everyone's got a piece of the action

[Doug Evans <devans@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Haven't gotten TOO deep into this, but I've not discounted the possibility
of even further delineations, of atmosphere, near planet, belt,
interplanetary, near system(Oort?), interstellar, etc.

A Traveller SDB could fit  into several, of course, but I'd think it would
run to the first levels. Interoperability between levels would remain
important for possible crises, but each level could be necessary, possibly
without interacting for years.

Time lag of communications, which varies by background, would be important
as to how this worked out.

Different nations will have different solutions, of course, but ingeneral:

The Navy will have Marines for boarding actions but also for special-forces
type raids against planets, asteroids or bases. These will be platoon to
company sized actions; if you want a battalion, you need the Army.

The Army and Navy will argue over who controls orbital defense bases and
orbital boombardment monitors.

Wealthy systems will have a separate Customs/Rescue naval force. Poor
nations will use their navy for that, and that's about all it will be good
for, but most of them will still call it "Navy" rather than whatever the
spacefaring equivalent of "Coast Guard" is.
