Artistic Forces/American Defense Alliance

"We fight for peace and freedom!"

- The voice when the ADA is selected in the Campaign mode. The Alliance to Restore the United States of America, also referred to as the American Alliance, the United States Alliance, United States State Defense Alliance, Alliance to Restore America, Alliance to Restore the United States, the State Defense of America, or simply the American Defense Alliance, is one of the factions in Artistic Forces.

Description
Dominantly led by the United States of America, formed with its human alliances (such as NATO) and their good relationships between countries, organized around the country and its territories, supported by the United States Military, the CIA, and the government, and fashioned into a military and civil alliance, the American Defense Alliance is technologically advanced faction of humanity that arose to skillfully fight with a combination of highly technological tactics, superior firepower, expeditionary warfare, and a large, versatile, powerful arsenal of ground, air and naval units. Its military power relies on skill, mobility, and advanced technology to usefully beat its enemies and their tactics with their survival skills. In addition to its organization, it probably consists of the US military forces, military and civil alliances and military contractors that supplied their arsenals to bring its life. Its arsenal of military weapons and equipment is mostly American, but some of them are imported from Great Britain, Austria, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Sweden, and South Africa.

In order to promote the restoration of the USA with the constitutionally perfect American Union and protect the real freedom, power, security, peace, prosperity, and unity of all Americans, including loyalists and patriots, from the Authoritarian Empire as well as the separatists/secessionists, rebels and traitors, causing social, economical and economical problems in the country, the ADA also has a political structure that inspires the US constitution and American ideological values like liberty, capitalism, patriotism, loyalism, security and prosperity to save the whole country and keep the peace and its survival accordingly.

Strategy
The ADA is a technologically advanced, cutting-edged faction, which functionally describes about quality over quantity, with an arsenal of both specialized units such as Snipers and ADSs as well as versatile multipurpose units like Humvees, General Purpose APCs, and Vipers. This versatility carries on into a match with competent defenses and units, including infantry, drones, vehicles, aircraft, and vessels.

This faction can also utilize a battleplan system, allowing one to amplify a certain element of their forces; be it range, damage or armor. Thus the ADA is always ready for any combat situations - be it against the opposing factions, such as the girlish Josei Guntai, the insidious Mutant Horde, the sneaky IMC, the devious Militant Insurgents, the oppressively brutish Totalitarian Empire, the stealthy Possessed, the technologically defensive RSSDF, and even the tank-heavy CCS.

The ADA also possess highly technological laser weapons in their arsenal. These lasers are an important part of the American arsenal as it can defend incoming ballistic projectile such as missiles or rockets, as a PDL (Point Defense Laser); or as a direct weapon, like the ones used on the Laser Humvees.

Also of important note is the versatility and efficiency of the American air power when fielded effectively. From attack helicopters to bombers and transports, the ADA can bring a lot of air assets to a battle. Upgrades are available for purchase that specifically improve these aircraft.

However, these units are either expensive or cheap than their counterparts, thus they must be managed properly. Losing one or more of these is a heavy blow to the ADA.

Tactics
The ADA mainly emphasizes highly advanced, but often experimental, technology with precise targeting and well trained infantry, and even superior firepower. In addition, as an American faction, most of its military assets are based on real-world American military hardware, including weapons, vehicles, aircraft, and even vessels. For a form of combined arms, it strategically commands a powerfully joint American military with 4 branches : Army, which includes battle tanks, IFVs, armored cars, all-terrain vehicles, highly mobile vehicles, and even helicopters, Navy, which includes patrol boats, frigates, destroyers, cruisers, submarines, stealth ships, and aircraft carriers, Marine Corps, which includes amphibious vehicles, and Air Force, which includes the multirole fighters, air superiority fighters, stealth aircraft, and bombers. Its factional superweapon of choice, the ICBM Silo, allows for more firepower with a radius of a destructively devastating nuclear blast from the nuclear-powered, intercontinental ballistic missile known as the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD). With a vast amount of intelligence-gathering resources available, ADA commanders are scarcely seen making any blundering errors when engaging the enemy, regularly picking the correct weak spots as indicated by their satellite scans. Most of their units are of high quality, despite more expensive than any of their counterparts. While their high technology greatly augments the fighting capabilities of the ADA, it comes at very high costs. This, combined with their slow economy, forces them to field a smaller and more specialized army, navy, marine corps, and air force.

Technological level
The technological level of the ADA is obviously advanced due to the use of proven high-tech weaponry that can outpower, outclass and out-tech the other factions.

Some technologies and firepower used by the ADA:


 * 1) Advanced superweapons
 * 2) Superior firepower
 * 3) Field generators, nuclear reactors, and other technologically advanced reactors
 * 4) Advanced army
 * 5) Advanced navy
 * 6) Advanced air force
 * 7) Advanced marine corps
 * 8) Air superiority
 * 9) Ground superiority
 * 10) Naval superiority
 * 11) Lasers
 * 12) Target Designator Lasers
 * 13) Point Defense Laser
 * 14) Spy Satellites
 * 15) Intelligence
 * 16) Advanced Defenses
 * 17) Unmanned combat systems

Sub-factions
The ADA has four sub-factions: the Combined Joint Marine Corps with the emphasis of amphibious and expeditionary warfare in supportive cooperation with the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, and Coastal Guard, fusing these military branches together into one, the classically modern and contemporary Retro American Defense Alliance, the top-secret Task Force Command, and the futuristic Future Force Command.

Combined Joint Marine Corps
Together with the support of the 5 branches of the U.S. Armed Forces and their multiple military operations, the American ad hoc maritime land service sub-faction known as the ADA Combined Joint Marine Corps (CJMC) utilizes amphibious and expeditionary tactics within the superiority of the American regular military coalition as a form of combined arms and joint warfare.

Retro American Defense Alliance
With the supportive help of the American military veterans from the 1990s onwards, including the Global War on Terror, the Retro American Defense Alliance (RADA) is a contemporarily classical and modern-day sub-faction that relies on classical but modern American military assets, replacing their successors like AMPVs, Advanced Reconnaissance Vehicle prototypes, and B-21 Raiders, to fight alongside their futuristic counterparts.

Task Force Command
Named after the Combined Joint Task Force, USSOCOM, and the Task Force Talon, just like the CJMC, the top-secret American military branch of the ADA known as the Task Force Command (TFC) is made up in cooperation with the 6 supportive branches of the U.S. Armed Forces. Its military personnel involves American special operations, equips with cutting-edge weapons and combat equipment, and trades most of the ADA defensive equipment and artillery for ferociously stronger, close-ranged, weaponry, favoring aggressive, CQC assaults support by their air force. The TFC also utilizes such tactics that emphasize speed and flexibility along with firepower.

Future Force Command
With a direct support of the 5 branches of the U.S. Military, the Future Force Command (FFC), originally modeled after the U.S. Space Force and other futuristic U.S. military programs, such as the cancelled Future Force Warrior, relies on space-influenced, futuristic warfare related to those said programs, and every military personnel of this sub-faction is equipped with futuristic American military assets, including lasers, bodysuits, drones, and even improved satellites.

Trivia

 * The ADA is heavily based on the United States of America, with its armed forces including US Army, US Air Force, US Navy and US Marine Corps, and NATO as one of its founding members among Canada and the western European allies, especially during Cold War era. This also adds many of America's other military and civil alliances.
 * Like Russia being the dominant leader of the CCS, the USA became dominant as the factional leader of the ADA.
 * The ADA's arsenal of military assets, including weapons, drones, vehicles, aircraft and vessels, are all based on the US Armed Forces and other American inventions, even though some of them are the exports from other countries like Italy, Sweden, Great Britain, Austria, Germany and South Africa.
 * The gameplay of the ADA is inspired by the USA from Command & Conquer: Generals (including Rise of the Reds and Contra mods), Act of War, Act of Aggression and Company of Heroes, Task Force Talon from Act of War, Allies from the Command & Conquer: Red Alert universe, Survivors from the KKND series, the GDI from the Command & Conquer series and Terran from the StarCraft series.
 * In an early draft of the development of Artistic Forces, the ADA is originally a NATO-influenced faction known as the State Defense Alliance (SDA), but has later been changed into an American faction as its proper replacement due to the fact that their units and weapons are based on real-world modern and experimental military assets of the United States Armed Forces, including some American technological inventions, and even the obstruction and insertion with Canada, which is later excluded from this faction and separately transferred to the Royal Canadian Federal Force (RCFF) as the Canadian counterpart of the ADA, with its one and only sub-faction known as the Canadian Assault Expedition (CAE), and one of the ten bonus factions to avoid cultural confusion between two North American countries instead. So this will prevent Axl Jet Baños, the lead creator of this project, to get angry by adding Canada and CAE in it.
 * The factional emblem of the ADA is an influence of the NATO and American (Old Glory) flags and Captain America's shield, making it a symbol of American culture.
 * The Alliance to Restore the United States of America, one of the official names of the ADA, is a cultural reference to the Alliance to Restore the Republic, simply known as the Rebel Alliance, from the Star Wars universe.
 * The ADA is formed to promote the restoration, freedom, security, peace, prosperity, and unity of all Americans, including patriots and loyalists, and defend the perfect American Union to save the whole nation by removing the authoritative Empire, the secessionists/separatists, rebels and traitors from power, while the Rebel Alliance seeks to overthrow the oppressive entity known as the Galactic Empire and establish a New Republic via the restoration of the former Galactic Republic in the galaxy.
