The Royal Pelinese Civil Defense Force is the armed service of the Pelinese Ministry of Emergency Situations, responsible for conducting civil defense and disaster response operations both within Pelinese territory and abroad. As a service under the MoES, its primary tasks include the raising and deployment of trained personnel, heavy equipment, SAR units, security forces and other disaster response forces to assist regional and local personnel in responding to hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, volcanic events, CBRN events, and other disaster events. During military conflicts that Pelinai is a party to, the Civil Defense Force moves under control of the Ministry of Defense as an additional branch of the Pelinese Armed Forces and is additionally responsible for protecting the civilian population and important industrial assets from the effects of airstrikes and other military attacks.

Formations raised by the Royal Pelinese Civil Defense Force consist of a wide variety of specializations, primarily including civil defense engineers, medical personnel & field hospitals, search and rescue forces, CBRN response teams, search and rescue teams, material aid & supply transport forces, and area security forces. The RPCDF uses a system of task-organized battalions for most disaster events in order to tailor the equipment and capabilities of responding forces to the particular needs of the incident, though major incidents requiring an unusually significant response may receive an allocation of whole brigades or divisions instead.

Organization

Branches

Civil defense engineers

The Civil Defense Engineer Forces of the Royal Pelinese Civil Defense Force are the branch responsible for tasks such as gap & river crossings, rubble clearing, road & railway repair, earthworks construction, and other similar activities. Because of their role in facilitating the passage of vehicles and supplies by removing obstacles and repairing transportation infrastructure, they are typically among the first units deployed in most disaster response operations.

Civil defense engineer units of the RPCDF utilize a wide variety of engineering vehicles & equipment. Its principal items of equipment include heavy construction vehicles such as bulldozers, military engineering vehicles, bridging vehicles such as assault bridges & pontoon bridge layers, and railway-laying vehicles. Engineering units also make use of some types of manually deployed crossing equipment, such as Bailey bridges.

Medical

The Medical Forces of the Royal Pelinese Civil Defense Force provide emergency medical treatment capabilities to RPCDF units operating in disaster areas, including both battalion aid stations, field hospitals, ambulances, and air medical units. RPCDF medical detachments specialize primarily in emergency medicine, battlefield medicine, and CBRN-related injuries.

Security

The Royal Pelinese Civil Defense Force Security Forces are the RPCDF branch responsible for performing internal security and law enforcement roles in disaster zones. They are tasked with protecting relief and assisting local police in maintaining order; during wartime operations, they also protect CDF personnel and civilians from attacks by hostile partisans, paratroopers, and other irregular forces.

Personnel of the RPCDF security forces use much of the same individual equipment as motor rifle troops of the Pelinese White Army. They do not operate most heavier systems such as artillery, but do receive transportation by LVM-281 military light utility vehicles, LPM-1 infantry mobility vehicles, and BTP-03 armored personnel carriers.

Equipment

Equipment operated by the Royal Pelinese Civil Defense Force includes a wide variety of systems, including logistics vehicles, engineering vehicles, fixed & rotary wing aircraft, watercraft, and personal equipment. The RPCDF utilizes many vehicles and other systems operated the Pelinese Armed Forces, both to minimize the cost of system duplication and to improve service interoperability.
