Prime Base Security

[dragoon500ly]

How to protect Prime Base has been spoken on several threads. The purpose of this thread is to bring together these threads and determine a workable security plan.

EXTERNAL

The module doesn't mention any external security other than the debris covering the entrance modules. IMHO, Prime doesn't require any bunkers defending these hatches, their concealment is their best protection until Prime goes active.

The primary external defense of Prime lies in the hands of Combined Team NP-5. This team consists of the following:

NP-50 Command Team: 5 personal in a V-150 APC

NP-51 MARS Team: 12 personnel with a V-150/25mm and a V-150 Mortar Carrier

NP-52 MARS Team: 18 personnel with a V-150/25mm, 2 V-150/HMG, GAL

NP-53 MARS Team: as NP-52

NP-54 MARS Team: as NP-52

NP-55 MARS Team: 18 personnel with a V-150/25mm, 3 V-150/TOWs

NP-56 Recon Team: 12 personnel with 3 HMMWV/HANgs

Recon Teams NP-57, NP-58 and NP-59: as NP-56

NP-60 Engineering Team: 20 personnel with 2 V-150 APCs, 2 5-ton Dump Trucks with trailers, 2 M-9 DEVs

The intent is to provide a Recon presence to cover the approaches to Prime, backed up with a large enough MARS presence to deter hostile forces. The team caches are loaded with ammunition, demolitions, heavy weapons and Medical supplies. NP-5 does not have the mission of assisting survivors. Instead they will direct survivors towards refugee camps that will be set up some 150 miles to the northeast. The refugee camp will be operated by another combined group.
