[QUOTE]1. For the Fire Service have three full time firefighters, they conduct fire safety inspections and train the base's auxiliary fire unit. Remember the MARS team will trying to keep the base secure and if a fire starts because of an attack the MARS has stop the attack not fight fires.[QUOTE]

If given this some thought, for normal circumstances, I believe that the Security Team would be trained as firefighters at least until a security alert was sounded. Normally, 6-8 personnel per cylinder as "full-time".


[QUOTE]2. Medical, have base personel trained as first responders this will reduce the need of large ammounts of medical personal. Prime would a small medical clinic that would have trained staff. First responders stabilize and transport an injured party there.[QUOTE]

Concur, but I would see the clinic as having some 30-40 specialists, nurses, lab techs.

[QUOTE]3. Engineering Team, Communications Team, Artillery, and APC’s? It’s a security force not a mechanized combined arms team. All those items and teams are needed if you’re planning to run a mission with a MARS team outside of the base but you’re not right? You would a few guys trained in demolitions for breaching operations maybe, but a dump trucks an M-9 CEV and a SEE? Why? Also why a Stinger team? Who has unfriendly air assets?[QUOTE]

NP-5 tries to follow a typical MARS/Recon Team in order to avoid giving the appearance of something "special".

They have a handful of V-150s equipped with 81mm mortars and TOWs, most of their vehicles are the APC versions (which can also be configured for cargo carriers), armed with either a HMG or an AGL. There is a small number of cannon-armed V-150s and a slightly larger number of V-150s fitted with the HMG/AGL turret. Got a lot of HUMMWVs fitted with either a HMG or an AGL.

Even their aviation asset only has a pair of autogyros.

The Engineering team has the ability to move a limited amount of earth and dig emplacements/obstacles. I envision their use to be mostly restricting access around chokepoints, digging bypasses for damaged bridges/overpasses.

[QUOTE]Will you can also go for Bell UH-1 Iroquois or Bell UH-1N Twin Huey, which is a commonly used aircraft by military and civilians you can add an Armament Subsystem if needed.[QUOTE]

I went with a section of Cobras as part of Prime Bases' Aviation assets, I can certainly see a section or two of UH-1s rather than the OH-6s that come with PBM.

Remember if add vehicles and aircraft you’re going to have to add service personnel and a means to rapidly launch them too. Think a batcave set up for ground vehicles and an airwolf set up for aviation. You will also need workshop space for maintenance
That's include in Prime Base.

Remember that basically NP-5 operates on a blank slate as far as Prime Base goes. They may suspect something is in the area, but they do not know what or where.
