Re: Suggestions for OOB 39 Romania
The first Romanian para battalion was founded in November 1950 and the first regiment (the 60th) two years later.
Today the 60th still exists but it is a battalion, NATO accession downsizing.
Also, the An-2 para transport is only available from 1954, so you could add the Li-2 available from 1950 to cover the gap.
Also, since we're on the subject,two more possible additions :
1) Romania does have a marine infantry battalion, the 307th, founded in November 1971 meant primarily for the Danube Delta defence purposes. Would that warrant an addition?
2) There is also a 1st Special Operations Battalion active since 2007, a possible candidate for Commando-class infantry.
Ah,one final thing. Romania joined NATO in 2004 and abolished conscription in 2007. Shouldn't these two factors bump Romania's base experience and/or morale up to 70 alongside the other NATO members?
Note that this is really a question,I don't want to come off as a kind of raving nationalist or anything.
