The Armed Forces of the United Nations, usually referred to as AFUN, is a global paramilitary group sponsored by the United Nations. It acts within the interests of the United Nations Security Council, primarily dealing with military intervention and peacekeeping operations in sensitive areas. They are deployed against recognized global threats, such as terrorism, international crime, and more recently, Interlopers.
History #
Due to the Zalim Pandemic killing 1/3 of the global population and the resulting Great Decline, many countries within NATO expressed concern about the lack of manpower and subsequent difficulties in recruiting. Motions were passed to grant the UN Security Council further autonomy to enact military action with the approval of a vote. The United Nations Security Council established AFUN. Each member state contributes a portion of their military manpower into AFUN, where each troop is interred into a Section.
AFUN Sections act as their own military unit. They are usually no larger than 5,000 strong, though some Sections can possess upwards of hundreds of thousands of troops. Sections are deployed to handle certain issues concerning the United Nations or one of its member states, such as terrorism or civil unrest. Due to the nature of its founding, AFUN is not considered a military organization; it is regarded as a public security agency, despite the ability for some Sections to possess warships and combat fighters.
Each member state of AFUN has the option to vote on certain issues or topics where AFUN sections may be deployed. The senate has three readings on the statutes of deployment, ROE (Rules of Engagement), mission parameters, and other topics of debate before it comes to a final vote. Even if a member state has abstained or voted against the issue, troops from their country are still required to participate if the measure passes.
The usual targets for an AFUN deployment commonly include security detail, anti-piracy, anti-terrorism, and anti-Interloper missions, as well as peacekeeping and humanitarian missions.
AFUN Sections #
Each section is assigned a number, followed by an AFUN bill call if it is a temporary assignment. Below is a table of some of the AFUN sections, along with their mission if they have one.

Equipment #
As it is not inherently recognized as a military body, AFUN does not directly issue equipment to its operatives. Instead, the responsibility falls on each individual section to outfit their servicemen to fighting capability. Individual units do possess the freedom of bringing in personal equipment for use in deployment, so long as it follows each Section's guidelines.
