The [[Enclave]] is, by far, the most technologically advanced military power in the wastes, having access to pre-War stocks of weaponry and equipment as well as [[Advanced power armor Mk II (Fallout 2)|advanced suits of powered armor]] and a fleet of working [[Vertibird|VTOL transport craft]]. Their primary disadvantage is their numbers―the Enclave has severely limited manpower, thus limiting their ability to project power across the [[United States]].<ref>on the other hand according to ''Fallout Bible'', the Enclave certainly didn't seem to be devoting much effort to digging up any other vaults and trying to use the human stock there to rebuild civilization</ref>

After their defeat on the West coast in [[Timeline#2241|2241]], and in the East in [[Timeline#2277|2277]], it is unknown if the Enclave Armed Forces is a force resembling its former self.
The military arm of the Enclave uses the pre-War [[United States]] system of operation and organization. The President is the commander-in-chief,<ref name=>Fallout 3 Official Game Guide p.41: "In the recent past, the Enclave—the remains of the United States government—were evacuated to an oil rig off the coast of California. Little is known about what happened to these forces, although the country has a new commander-in-chief: President John Henry Eden. However, recent reports and chatter have pinpointed the resurgence of the Enclave, with their base centered on a secure underground facility known as Raven Rock. Initial contact was made there 35 years ago."</ref> while actual command and logistics of the military is oversaw by Enclave High Command.<ref>[[Sector artillery note]]</ref><ref name=>Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.44: "After the destruction of Raven Rock, the Enclave performed a mixture of tactical retreat and all-out flight, and their grip on the Capital Wasteland loosened severely.

However, a small influx of specially trained fighters is seeking to fill the gap left by the Brotherhood of Steel’s advances. Posted to previously unknown and highly secretive locations outside of the Capital Wasteland, only the most veteran of Enclave forces trained in multiple forms of combat earn the right to call themselves Sigma. These six-person squads feature a leader clad in Hellfire Armor and carrying an Incinerator, and each man in has seen numerous combat sorties and lived to tell about them.

Apart from units based on their pre-War analogues, the Enclave has several formations unique to itself. The most well known are the Verti-Assault teams: heavily armed squads of Enclave troopers, widely known for their tendency to go in shooting without asking questions. They usually let someone else sift through the ashes to figure out what was going on.<ref>[[Enclave communications officer]]'s [[Gcpacoff.msg|dialogue]]: ''"{178}{powr16_a}{Yeah well, whoever you are, I just dispatched a verti-assault team to your location.

==Overview==
The Enclave's military force is small but powerful (according to the ''Fallout'' Bible, the Enclave armed forces is composed of hundreds of soldiers). Their limited numbers (decimated further after the destruction of the Oil Rig) are offset by their unlimited access to advanced technologies―a private is usually outfitted with a suit of advanced power armor and a high-grade energy weapon (usually a [[laser rifle]] or [[plasma rifle]]). They also possess the ability to project power beyond any other factions in the wastes, thanks to their [[Vertibird]]s. Furthermore, their numbers are augmented by an assortment of military robots at their disposal, ranging from [[Mister Handy]] service bots to the powerful [[sentry bot]]s.

In terms of training, they are second to none, drawing from the best traditions of pre-War U.S. military and training their soldiers using its methods, resulting in a uniformly efficient and deadly fighting force. The only comparable organization in this regard is the [[Brotherhood of Steel]], and even it is inferior, as the Brotherhood's xenophobia and focus on technology have resulted in military training eroding.

The [[New California Republic Army]], while not as well-equipped or trained, has the numbers, a vast army of soldiers far greater in number than anything the Brotherhood or the Enclave can muster, negating their technological advantage. For example, the NCR took Navarro after the destruction of the Oil Rig, despite a very high difference in terms of technology and training.

The Enclave has access to cutting-edge technology and equipment, surpassing anything other factions possess. Their most basic (and advanced) asset is the [[Advanced power armor (Fallout 2)|advanced power armor]], significantly better than the [[T-51b power armor]] encountered in the wastes in terms of protection, survivability and general efficiency. Coupled with their access to stocks of pre-War energy weapons and manufacturing facilities to create more, enabling them to field a disturbingly effective array of weaponry.
By the 23rd century, the Enclave is the most technologically advanced organization in the wasteland. Their technological superiority is most apparent in their military: the [[Enclave power armor#Advanced power armor Mk II|Mark II]] and [[Enclave Hellfire armor|Hellfire]] power armors (using lightweight metal alloys and ceramic composites), post-War creation introduced in 2220,<ref name=>[[Hellfire power armor]] background</ref> <ref name=>[[Enclave power armor (Fallout 3)|Advanced power armor Mark II]] background</ref>standardized utilization of plasma, laser, and pulse weaponry technologies (most notably the [[Plasma rifle#Urban plasma rifle|urban plasma rifle]] developed shortly before the War by [[REPCONN Aerospace]]), and, of course, two mass produced models of the [[Vertibird|VB-02 Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL)]] tilt-wing aircraft.

The Enclave Insignia, with a wasteland camouflage background.

The Enclave is, by far, the most technologically advanced military power in the wastes, having access to pre-War stocks of weaponry and equipment as well as advanced suits of powered armor and a fleet of working VTOL transport craft. Their primary disadvantage is their numbers―the Enclave has severely limited manpower, thus limiting their ability to project power across the United States.[1]

After their defeat on the West coast in 2241, and in the East in 2277, it is unknown if the Enclave Armed Forces is a force resembling its former self.

Before the Great War

Little is known about the status of the Enclave military forces before 2077, and it's not entirely out of the question that they might not have existed at all, with the Enclave controlling the United States government and Army. However, the Enclave presence on the Oil Rig indicates that at least some kind of a security force was present.

Another indicator is the Bloomfield Space Center, which was taken over by Enclave agents following the abandonment of the space project by the U.S. government and secured for their purposes (including transportation off-world).

After the Great War

With the great nuclear devastation of 2077 and the subsequent collapse of the United States, Enclave members and loyalists have relocated to reinforced locations across the United States,[2] with the headquarters being established on the Poseidon Oil Rig. Additionally, numerous military stockpiles were commandeered, either remotely or by the evacuating Enclave themselves, providing the organization with necessary ordnance.

With extreme levels of radiation persisting on the mainland, they were forced to remain within their bases, as the regular T-51b power armor was unable to provide adequate protection. The EAF were steadily trained and expanded, with new equipment being developed for use in the field, including the venerable advanced power armor. The Enclave begins to become involved on the mainland, operating under the radar of the emerging wasteland powers.

Overview

The Enclave's military force is very small but powerful (according to the Fallout Bible, the Enclave army was composed of hundreds of soldiers). Their limited numbers (decimated further after the destruction of the Oil Rig) are offset by their unlimited access to advanced technologies―a private is usually outfitted with a suit of advanced power armor and a high-grade energy weapon (usually a laser rifle or plasma rifle). They also possess the ability to project power beyond any other factions in the wastes, thanks to their Vertibirds. Furthermore, their numbers are augmented by an assortment of military robots at their disposal, ranging from Mister Handy service bots to the powerful sentry bots.

The Enclave Main Command[3] was located on the Poseidon Oil Rig, where the Commander-in-Chief (the President) and other high-ranking officials were also located, along with the necessary support staff and a large contingent of soldiers of the regular Army and elite Secret Service agents, all armed with power armor and energy weapons.

The second largest base was Navarro, a pre-War Poseidon Oil refinery-turned-military base acting as a waystation for Vertibirds and their primary military outpost on the mainland. It was heavily defended, with dual plasma turrets covering the perimeter and guards in advanced power armor stationed in the base and patrolling the areas around it, with deadly efficiency.

In addition, numerous other outposts were present across the United States, either manned or automated (such as the Raven Rock military base, and the much smaller RHO Experimental Camp).

After the destruction of the oil rig and the attack on Navarro, the remaining EAF forces rallied and withdrew to the East Coast under the command of Augustus Autumn's father. Their destination was the Raven Rock military base, which was adopted as their command center.

Navy

Despite the fact that the Pacific Fleet of the United States Navy was ordered to the Poseidon deep sea oil derrick on March 30 2076 via Presidential order[4], it is unknown if after the Great War the Enclave maintain control of any functioning United States Navy warships and/or sea vessels.

Example units and squads

Verti-assault Teams

FO2 Intro APA

A Verti-assault squad lying in wait

Arguably the most elite combat units, Verti-assault Teams are composed of crack Enclave troopers equipped with advanced power armor and heavy weaponry, described as usually going in shooting and letting someone else sift through the ashes to figure out what was going on. These squads were the ones that raided Vault 13 and Arroyo, securing the necessary test subjects for The Project.

Enclave Patrols

One of the most deadly encounters in the wastes, Enclave Patrols are composed of three troopers in advanced power armor usually armed with various energy weapons (laser and plasma rifles) or infantry support weapons such as Avenger miniguns.

They are made more dangerous by their employment of effective small-unit tactics. They use techniques such as flanking and using sentry bots to provide cover fire. They rarely use hand-to-hand weapons, and are very adept at using high-yield grenades to force enemies out of cover.

Enclave Control (EC) Company

Fo2 EC Company

A military company responsible for perimeter defense, a squad of which assisted the Chosen One in eliminating agent Frank Horrigan, under the command of Sergeant Granite. Their members are equipped with the best and most advanced weapons available to the Enclave and are a very versatile outfit.

Granite's squad was composed of four soldiers:

RHO Experiment

An experimental camp consisting of a network of turrets with the RHO chip encoded in them. The experiment focuses on the viability of a system where a single overseeing officer is deployed with a network of turrets (thus showing us that even after severe blows to their groups integrity they still had the manpower and flexibility to deploy such systems.)

Constituency Enforcement Points

A network of military checkpoints set up across the wasteland after the reactivation of Project Purity.
