In 2018 the economic strife brought about by the escalation of the war on terror and years of over-spending in a vain attempt to keep pace with the military might of the Soviet Union devastated the nation’s economy. Consequently, the federal government shut down all non-essential services under the weight of massive debt. As more and more federal services began to disappear, state after state seceded, initially merging into two nation-states; The Reformed United States and the People’s Republic of Texas. Backed by what remained of congress and the senate, the president declared the secessions unlawful and signed executive order 10235-A, requiring these rogue nation-states to return to the fold under threat of war. Undaunted, the fledgling nations seized all military assets within their respective borders, calling upon enlisted men and women serving on bases within the newly-annexed territories to choose a side. The Reformation Army and The Texas MilitiaTired of performing their duties without pay for months on end, men and women from all branches and levels of the U.S military forces deserted the Union Army (as the Old-US government came to be called in memory of the first civil war), choosing to stay where they are rather than move to military bases in Union-held states. These men and women formed the core of the armies known as the Reformation Army and the Texas Militia.Rogue ElementsOthers left the military entirely, going home to be with their families in these chaotic times. Still others chose the route of the mercenary, selling their services to third world nations. Some would migrate to the newly-formed communist nations of Latin America and the Canadian Communist Republic.Robotic unitsPrior to the secessions of  2018, the bulk of the U.S robotic elements of the armed forces consisted of the 201st Heavy Mechanized Robotic Brigade and Air-mobile units stationed in Ft. Hood Texas, the 202nd Spec-Ops units in Ft. Bragg North Carolina and M3-Alpha “grunts” at Camp Pendleton, California. Additionally, Sector Patrol Robots were stationed in all military bases at home and in bases across the globe.</blockquote>
