We would of course need the support of the locals. A good way to ensure that would be schools, employment, infrastructure projects etc.

Pros: Not having a guerilla movement in our area, more and more loyal soldiers, good PR
Cons: Expensive

Pros outweigh cons. What good is saved money if we need to use it to hire mercenaries and deal with guerillas?

And to be fair, infrastructure in for example Congo, is nearly non existent, because it gets bombed/ destroyed every so often. So we can solve multiple problems at once.

Alright, get weapons from the russians, bribe some people in the western part to set up camp, crush all resistance, be kind to the people. Sounds straightforward?

New question: What will be the standard weapon?

I facor russian rifles myself. How about the new AN-94? listed as a quantem leap from the AK 47.

The key improvement of the AN-94 over the AK-74 is the introduction of the 2-rounds burst mode, added to the standard single shots andfull auto mode.

No idea what that means, but it sounds impressive. btw, This website appears to have a extensive knowledge of firearms.

I would normally prefer the AK47 for an assault rifle (It's cheap to buy, easy to shoot and powerful), SPAS-12 for a shotgun, and M1911 Colt or Python for a sidearm. We could also use sniper rifles. We'd also need heavy-artillery weapons like the RPG-7 and / or some type of mini-gun for anti armor.

Remember, a war can take a very long time. We'll have to adapt our standard firearms over time, because we sure as hell wont be taking off until 2050.
(unless we can aquire some NASA plans, or have some fast major breaktroughs.)

Simply put, it means that you can have it fire two rounds per trigger pull, one round per trigger pull, or continuous fire.

---MADPLANS BUDGET REPORT---
Current budget: £0

---END REPORT---
Considering our budget, I'd consider it lucky if we get WWII antiques.
I still disagree on Congo, due to relations with US, but will agree if that is the general opinion.
Also, we still need to find some Latin mottos for our departments.
Please submit your ideas as follows:
carpe jugulam(go for the throat)
We can then have a poll on it, possibly after I've narrowed it down.
Also, we are not attempting a war. We are attempting a (military) coup.

I feel like I should note that there are two congos.  The 'democratic republic of the Congo' and another to the west.  I am not sure which one was referred to on Wikipedia.

I always referred to the DRC, and most links do so too. I'm pretty sure the info is right.

[Helgoland]

Carpe jugulam sounds about right. Go for it!

* carpe jugulam will be embroidered on the left shoulder of the MADPLANS parade uniform for all ranks - when we have the funds to worry about stuff like that*

[10ebbor10]

I'm pretty sure it should be Carpe Jugulum. That's what the Terry pratchett novel we're stealing it from is named anyway.

Checked on google translate, you're right.
Jugulam apparently means 'throttle'.

[IronTomato]

What an appropriate name.

[miauw62]

All IT and Technical staff should have "Intrate Machina" (Enter the machine. Not sure if intrare should be plural or singular.)

[Graknorke]

So it turns out I haven't been seeing the Open Discussion thread ever. Hi!
How go the peaceful invasion plans?
