Mission

Easy Company (EZC) is an airborne militia that is 100% privately funded through the work of communed soldiers and private donors. EZC is affiliated to the Federalist Party, but is open to any American, from any party, regardless of strength or prior experience. EZC uses their skills as well as inter-party relations to further American interests around the globe through military and economic warfare tactics. Easy Company’s primary objective is to facilitate the education of new players, to utilize their strengths to promote eAmerican interests, and to kick ass.

EZC is the #1 ranked Military Unit in eUSA. A soldier of Easy Company can truly say: "We are the best MU in the eUSA. We are the best MU in all of the eWorld."

Requirements

Current Supply Policy

EZC operates commune jobs found under Gnilraps. EZC communes pay $1.03 USD/Day. EZC has adopted a merit-based supply policy, based upon the official number of confirmed kills a member has from the prior day.

EZC Members are either uniformed or non-uniformed. Members request supplies using this link: EZC Supply Request

Additional Information

• All members must work in an EZC commune prior to requesting supplies on the day of the request.
• Quartermasters (QM's) are usually available 24/7. However, supplies may be delivered within a few minutes or up to 20 hours (not the norm) after being requested.
• EZC Uniforms may be obtained by posting a uniform request after registering on the EZC Forum
• Same-Day Requests Only: You will only be given supplies for the same day which you fill out a request.
• A player's official kills can be found on the Military Unit homepage under Community. Under the avatars of the MU regiment, choose See All. The number appearing next to the players name, under the Last Day Fights column is the confirmed kill number. The player's regiment appears at the top of the page, in the drop-down.

Organization

Easy Company Commander: Deepchill

It is the duty of the Commander to promote the increase of damage done in battles by EZC through advancements in strength and rank. The Commander keeps the militia running smoothly by managing personnel and having the final say in all logistical decisions. The Commander will set the direction of the militia including determining: Policy, deployment and battle priorities, establishing goals for the organization and to establish and maintain relations with other government and political party contacts as required. The position of EZC Commander will always be authorized by the Federalist Party President.

Executive Officer: BigCDizzle, Harry W. Hill, and Stewy

The Executive Officers shadows the Commander, learns the ropes of all the goings on in the Militia, and helps with the coordination of activities. It is the XO's duty to fill in for the Commander when he/she is away.

Dispelling Rumors: Contrary to popular belief, EZC's is not an extension of the Federalist party. EZC is loosely affiliated to the Federalist Party. EZC shares a common forum with the Federalists, with open access rights for EZC members regardless of party affiliation or lack thereof.

Divisions

All enlisted soldiers are assigned to a specific Regiment, lead by a Regiment Captain. The Captain in turn answers and reports to the Executive Officers and then the Commanding Officer. This chain, from Captain to XO, and from XO to CO, comprises the Chain of Command.

At its lowest level, the Chain of Command is put in place to assist with the delegation of duties. The Captain, for example, gives orders to the enlisted soldiers under their command; the same Captain, however, answers to the Company Commander. This chain runs, unbroken, from the newest enlisted soldier to the Party President.

History

One dark day in the midst of a losing campaign against eHungary and the tragically-named PEACE, ePoland and EDEN knew despair. But despair did not intimidate the likes of citizenslave, MitchRapp, MourningStar, Qubert18, Eotrick a dozen others. A plan was hatched; a plan known as Operation Polish Sausage.

The original Polish Sausage

Polish Sausage was built on the idea that some dedicated eUS citizens would be willing to temporarily relocate; to fight abroad in defense of eUSA allies. In it’s first ever action, EZCompany quite literally proved to be the decisive blow as the battle clock expired.

A sizzling success, Polish Sausage remained linked together. But the vision was larger than merely one battle in Central Slovakia. Polish Sausage would one day become EZCompany, the Federalist Party militia that continues to operate all over the eGlobe, oftentimes in clandestine affairs, always tightly bound to the interests of eUSA.

Polish Sausage was not exclusively Federalist. It was inspired by Federalists, Federalist ideals, and Federalist Party action. But Polish Sausage was (like EZCo has been) populated by eUSA citizens from many political parties. The concept of the party militia, as it was conceived in Polish Sausage and EZCo, is a true extension of the Federalist ideology that what is good for the country is good for the party and vice-versa.

While Polish Sausage was the operational code name during eRep days 722 and following, by day 740 the vision had expanded and there was talk of “Easy Company”. These were the hard core soldiers forging a militia that still, on day 834, continues to go airborne in defense (or offense!) of the interests of eUSA.

There has been the Polish Deployment, the original Spanish Campaign, the fight against France, a second Spanish Campaign, the Croatian Campaign, the battle for London, a stint in Brazil, and numerous home-based fights. Each time, EZCompany has supplied its soldiers with weapons and food to maximize damage and effectiveness.

To even further maximize effectiveness, EZCompany developed a commune system of membership and employment. Members work for approved, contracted companies for minimum wage (regardless of experience) in exchange for their food and munitions (and moving tickets). This results in companies who stand at the ready to supply EZC with whatever it needs. Given the mechanics of eRepublik, it is a system that works quite well. For EZC members, the sacrifice in income is minimal, and far outweighed by the mission, the camaraderie, and the experience. No few USD can ever purchase what a tour with EZC offers.

There is no strength requirement for membership in EZC, just an understood commitment to be at the ready for deployment anywhere. Hard worker medals, political aspirations, even personal wealth are often sacrificed to some extent by this brave band.

The Meaning of CURRAHEE!

Easy Company was an old division of Paratroopers in WW2 that fought for America in Europe. These men where trained at Camp Toombs in Georgia. A Mountain named CURRAHEE stood tall over the Main Camp.

The men used the mountain to run up and down to train for The War in Europe. They called the runs "3 Miles up, 3 Miles Down."

They used the mountain name "CURRAHEE" in battle as they parachuted in over France and Germany to fight for freedom.

CURRAHEE translated From Cherokee Means "Stands Alone."

EZC proudly adopted this name and this call and they work every day to live up to the legacy it represents. Easy Company stands alone by remaining independent of the government of the eUSA, but remaining ever loyal to eUSA itself. They fight proudly alongside the other American military units.
