Mexico has made significant strides
towards becoming a first world nation, and it's
military is just one example. The largest
independent military
force in Central America, and the best equipped, the
Mexican military
protects the country from all threats foreign and
domestic. The
police department itself is merely a specialized
branch of the
military, with all police officers required to spend a
year in
regular service (basic military training package, see
Home Of The
Brave) before they are eligible for police duty
(non-combat skill
package, see NCPD).
Due
to Mexico's practice of isolationism during the last
war, the
Modern Mexican Military is untested, save for border
patrols and minor
incidents, however no one takes them lightly as in the
few minor
instances they have had to face they have acted with
expert efficiency
and brutal skill. 
Another factor that
aids them is their growing self
reliance. While Mexico still buys and issues
some Russian and Chinese surplus, particularly for
vehicles. The companies of
AZTECH and Mexican Metals are getting more advanced
every year, and
have reached a point where home manufactured weapons
and equipment are
the majority already. Aztech in particular has
very quickly
become one of the leading manufacturers in the world.
The rank structure in the
Mexican military is virtually
identical to that of the United States, even among the
police branch,
though the pay is about half that of the North
American counterpart.As of yet, Mexico has again taken an isolationist policy towards the looming Third World War, however they have agreed this time to allow United States transport across their country. This move may anger the SAA (South American Alliance) forces enough that Mexico will be brought into the conflict whether they like it or not. Already there have been terrorist threats of bombings, and the Mexican Military has been put on full alert for the duration.
