and our people)
What is 'Equinox'?: Directive 82, also known as Special Forces
Group 'Equinox' is a special forces group founded by high
ranking officers in the military, members of parliament and
royalty. The group was formed sometime after the Changeling
Invasion, but were not deployed until Tirek's attack on
Equestria, where high ranking officers in the military, members
of parliament and royalty agreed to activate Directive 82, and
form Equinox with the intention of safeguarding Equestria from
those who wished to do it, and its citizens harm. Since
Equinoxs activation, they have played a crucial role in
anti-terrorism operations in Equestria, as well as first
responders to wars and conflicts.
What does Equinox consist of?: Equinox recruit anypony,
indiscriminant of age, gender, appearance, race, birthplace or
ideology. They recruit soldiers either through volunteers, or
through taking enemy combatants, although this method of
recruitment has not been confirmed in official reports and is
just a theory. It is uncommon, but Equinox also involve common
ponies in their missions, if they are willing to assist them.
Equinox Command Structure: Equinox is a Special Forces Group
with influence in all major cities in Equestria, from Los
Pegasus to Manehatten, and some minor cities, such as Ponyville.
Because of this, Equinox has set up several Forward Operating
Bases in major cities, with Equinoxs Main Operating Base
located in the mountain in Canterlot, where they started. They
also have Forward Operating Bases on Equestrian boarder as well
as in conflict areas such as Saddle Arabia.
Equinox numbers well over 100,000 active soldiers across
Equestria, and in other countries. Some say that there are as
many as 1,000,000 active soldiers, but there have been no
confirmed numbers. In each of the Forward Operating Bases in the
major cities across Equestria, there are usually anywhere
between 1,000 and 10,000 soldiers stationed in each major city,
all of which is dependent on the size of the city. Cities like
Manehatten, Fillydelphia, and Cloudsdale can have roughly 10,000
soldiers, while cities like Vanhoover and Baltimare have around
1,000 soldiers. Smaller cities only have around 100 200
soldiers. Examples are Trottingham and Ponyville. Canterlot,
Equinoxs Main Operating Base has well over 50,000 soldiers in
the base, in Canterlot, and around the perimeter. When soldiers
are sent out on missions to foreign countries, Equinox forms a
Combat Strike Force (CSF) A single CSF could have anywhere
between 1,000 10,000 soldiers.
Within each base, the soldiers stationed there are broken up
into various units, each soldier being placed into a certain
unit based on their evaluated strengths, weaknesses, skills and
expertise. These units are:
Base. Soldiers placed here multi-task and assign orders to other
units, as well as oversee all operations that occur.
placed here are sent on combat missions, whether it be
hit-and-run, VIP Retrieval, Assassinations, Guarding an area,
and such.
research and development of all gear and weapons distributed to
Equinox soldiers. Mainly researchers, scientists and developers
are stationed here. Recently, R&D Unit in Canterlot has made
breakthroughs in development, creating modern firearms and
vehicles, all of which will be crucial in their fights.
placed here are tasked with gathering Intel for Equinox
soldiers. Sometimes, soldiers here will be sent on Intel
missions, from reconnaissance, to stealing intelligence from the
enemy.
most recovering soldiers, injured in the line of duty. Doctors
and researchers stationed here are also responsible for
developing medical gear for Equinox soldiers on duty.
weapons, gear, items, and vehicles to soldiers on the front
lines. Occasionally, they are also on combat missions with
soldiers in the Combat Unit, providing additional manpower.
Equinox Military Strength: With the dawn of revolutionary modern
warfare, Equinox has developed multiple combat vehicles. They
are classified as land, sea, and air vehicles.

With vehicles and weapons listed above only recent, Equinox only
has so many of them that they have available, and that they use
on missions. Obviously it takes a lot of money and resources to
amass this military strength. Equinox was mainly funded by the
government, but eventually they began accepting contracted
missions for resources and money, relying less on the
government, and becoming more self-sufficient, but there are
times where Equinox does rely on the government for resources
and funding.
Equinox Soldier Loadouts: These are the loadouts for various
soldier ranks on missions within Equinox. With the dawn of
revolutionary modern warfare, Equinox has developed firearms
that soldiers are able to use, moving away from traditional
weaponry.

Well, I've done it. 3 months of shower thoughts and other
thoughts compiled into one long post. So here it is, everything
all of you guys want and need to know about Equinox. Obviously
your OC's won't know this information unless they were part of
Equinox. If you wish to have your OC join Equinox, contact
myself, Broadshield, and I will work something out.
There will be more things I need to add as time goes on, so this
will be open to change.
Thanks, Equinox (Broadshield)
