The Hund Trainers
As the conflict with the Mercenary Arms intensified, the Strahl Defence Force faced a critical shortage of personnel. The relentless engagements had severely depleted their ranks, and escalating casualty rates threatened to erode both military and civilian morale. To sustain their war effort and maintain public support, the Strahl leadership sought innovative solutions to bolster their diminishing forces.
In response, the Strahl Defence Force invested in advanced technology, developing unmanned combat platforms to supplement their human soldiers. While the P.K.H. 103 Nutcracker and other large, self-contained weapon systems were effective, they suffered significant losses due to inadequate infantry support. To address this gap, the Großer Hund and its variants were introduced as a crucial advancement in military capability.
The deployment of unmanned systems necessitated the formation of the Hundestaffel, a specialized cadre of operators equipped with state-of-the-art Virtual Reality (VR) goggles. These "Hund Trainers" were tasked with overseeing and training the deployment of autonomous machines to ensure optimal performance in combat situations. The VR goggles provided an immersive operating environment, allowing the Hundestaffel to simulate various battlefield conditions and scenarios. This system also enabled direct control when necessary, facilitating hands-on management and refinement of the machines' operational capabilities.
TThe first batches of AI platforms deployed directly from the factory experienced higher losses due to insufficient operational training. The rapidly evolving tactics of the Mercenary Arms required more than static factory settings. The Strahl Defence Force found that extensive remote training and continuous human oversight were essential to expedite the initial training phase of the Hund AI and achieve combat readiness.
The Hundestaffel's role was pivotal in addressing these challenges. Their expertise accelerated the development of combat-ready units by integrating current battlefield strategies and tactical awareness. This ability to adapt quickly to the Mercenary Arms' evolving tactics significantly improved the combat readiness and adaptability of the unmanned units over their operational life cycle.
Through rigorous training exercises and simulations, the Hundestaffel enhanced the effectiveness of the Großer Hund, ALTAIR, and other variants. This strategic implementation bolstered combat capabilities amidst manpower shortages and mitigated the impact of casualties on public morale. By reducing the number of human soldiers in frontline combat, Strahl leadership aimed to limit the flow of casualty reports, thereby maintaining civilian support.
The Hundestaffel’s expertise in integrating unmanned units into combat operations allowed the Strahl Defence Force to maintain a robust battlefield presence despite limited human resources. Propaganda emphasizing unmanned machines further reassured the populace of the leadership’s commitment to preserving soldier lives while defending their territory. Their dedication and proficiency were instrumental in the success of the unmanned combat platforms, providing the Strahl Defence Force with a technological edge in their ongoing struggle against the Mercenary Arms.
