Genji-Levantine Sub-District

The Genji-Levantine Sub-District is a Sub-district of the Genji Imperial Army in the Levant Arab Republic. The sub-district was declared after the Genji entry into the Conquest of the Levant. The group represent the military of the Genji Empire in the country.

Due to embargo against the Levant Arab Republic by the League of Freedom in 2062, troop numbers were heightened until 2065 when the embargo was ended.

Genji-Levantine Treaty of Friendship
The Genji-Levantine Friendship Treaty became the foundation of economic and military partnerships that followed since the establishment of the Levant Arab Republic in 2060. In the treaty, the Genji Empire guarantees the independence of the Arab state from foreign invasion and terrorist attacks. Khmeimim Airbase had been leased with 20 years renewal, and the borders included joint Genji-Levantine control.

During the embargo crisis, the alliance was expanded to agree on upgrades to Khmeimim Airbase, making it a spaceport for a more stable supply line at a renewable 49 years free-of-charge basis. Genji commanders can take command of Levantine units in emergencies, and have access to Levantine military facilities. Regular joint-exercises are included.

Genji-Levantine Army
Security arrangements made with Iran and Israel allowed the garrison to be dropped from General Army to Division. 20,000 from the Army, and 5,000 from the Navy are to remain.

Border Forces
The Genji Imperial Army Kempei forces are attached to the borders as augmented border police that work with their Levantine counterparts. The Kempei are present in border checkpoints and conduct random patrols. Protecting the border from enemies within and without, their autonomies are high to fire live rounds without orders.

Logistics
The main source of supplies is the Khmeimim Airbase, enabling a direct supply from space.

Accommodation
Most Genji personnel live in military bases near cities, with the largest concentration in Damascus and East Jerusalem. Unmarried men stay in specially made apartments. Enlisted personnel are placed under strict rules. Curfews banning all travel at night is imposed. Curfews have not been strictly enforced, and no diplomatic incidents such as fights at nightclubs occurred. When apartments are locked down at night, soldiers purchase needed supplies from local deliveries.

Officers, and those usually married are given allowances to rent housing, taxes exempted. The whole family receive moral training for preparing to live abroad as representatives of their culture. In the light of incidents caused by a family, they are immediately withdrawn.

Daily Routine
Genji soldiers found adapting to life in the country difficult at first. The Muslim prayers early in the morning make it impossible for them to wake later, forcing them awake at 4 or 5 in the morning. A typical working day lasted from 9 in the morning, with a 3-hour break from 2 in the afternoon, and resumption of work from 5 until 7 in the evening. The unusual work schedule was adopted after experiencing scorching heat during the Summer.

Food
Genji officers, outside of meals provided in bases ate at their own expense. Officers have access to the Officer's clubs of the Levantine military.

Fraternisation
Genji soldiers wrote that the Levantines greeted them with open arms, usually with tea and coffee and a joint-lunch. Their presence was welcomed by both soldiers and officers alike. Friendships often formed between the two nationals, resulting in cultural exchanges.
