SBTO Standardisation

[BrumBrum]

This is my proposed network of joint bases.

The Hejdar Union states object to this. Many bases are too close to the border which, political fallout aside, comes with the risk of the bases being overrun in a surprise attack far too easily. The Hejdar Union states and Castleon would prefer that bases be located beyond 50km from the border, ideally closer to 100km where possible. Additionally, Freesia objects to hosting so many "unnecessary" bases; it'd rather host up to 1 naval base and 2 army or air force bases.

While they're willing to standardize munitions and logistics standard (the Hejdar Union states already have, and they're very similar to Castleon's), they're a lot less willing to buy equipment they don't believe meet their national requirements, so keep that in mind. They are open to upgrading/updating their infantry arsenal though. Their current main combat rifle has been in service since the 50s.

Okay so if in those countries we open up the bases 100km from the border and we cut the ammount of bases down a tad.In terms of standardization I believe according to treaty law standardising the equipment is opt in when you want to opt in to a standardisation programme.So its not an issue they choose only to standardise certain equipment or even none. How many bases a country chooses to accept is up to them.
