Military Resistance (Nod)

Military Resistance is a factor given as a % and used by Nod EVA and used in relation to nations. It represents not the actual military strength of the nation but how much of the national military forces would actually resist were Nod forces to attempt to install a friendly regime in power at the expense of the existing regime. National military forces in this case probably represent the entirety of the militery forces of a given nation that are active, including armed rebels. It probably does not represent foreign forces present in the nation including core GDI forces.

Military Resistance would be undermined by the following factors.


 * Armed groups opposed to the government.
 * Pro-Nod sympathy within the military leadership.
 * Defection or desertion from the rank and file.
 * Guerilla resistance to an earlier military occupation.
 * Civil War
 * Civilian Pro-Nod groups with access to weaponry in the nation
 * Willingness of military forces to surrender rather than fight
 * Elimination of resisting forces
