The military that is capable of offensive action might just as likely be pursuing their own separate operations against Apocalypse's forces. Thematically, there's a good reason why the militaries are ignored or used as punching bags in most comics and thus, since this RP is as Veluux says, about the Resistance Heroes against the Vision of Apocalypse Villains, the military going in just mucks everything up.<br/><br/>Instead of unifying the forces (like what I guess I apparently did in Port Said... temporarily :p ) it could be explained as background that the various militaries are quite likely tying down a great deal of Apocalypse's judgment fodder. Thus they might be getting Tony Stark's broadcasts and hearing of these great upswells of non-military based resistance, but the military being the military, they tend to work and operate on a very different sense of scale and operation and with different goals then superheroes and vigilantes and super-civilians. So like I edited in my previous post, if there is a carrier battle group in the Pacific, it could be fighting Apocalypse's forces, but instead of formally allying with Tony Stark or some other faction in Tokyo, it's naturally allying with other military remnants and doing what it does best, conventionally engaging and destroying enemy forces and searching and rescuing and removing civilians from danger and keeping them supplied with essential supplies. (as opposed to doing what heroes do best, which is fighting epic boss battles, making inspiring speeches, pontificating on things and kicking major Horseman butt)<br/><br/>I guess if we're mentioning the military, it'd be most appropriate to do so in a manner where you see military forces either helping evacuate civilians and refugees (like what they're mostly doing in Port Said) or independently engaging Apocalypse's forces in the background. If they encounter Tony Stark or other resistance types, they might be nice and helpful when in direct contact, but not cooperative (ie "That might be so MISTER Stark but those aren't my orders.") because they have their own things to do, which are independent of the overall 'plot lines." (ie: "You seriously want me to send my last remaining helicopter squadron to rescue some mutants carrying some magical Macguffin? I'm sorry, but I need them for actual real concerns like bringing medical supplies to refugees.")<br/><br/>So by all means, mention the MEU Phaia. Even have them make an appearance. But keep in mind, they are mere 'extras' in this story. ;)<br/><br/>What the military is doing could canvas its own entire RP thread. :p
