    Uniform/Camouflage

    I think there’s some room for potential iteration here.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsarouchi

    The Presidential Guard (Greek: Προεδρική Φρουρά, romanized: Proedrikí Frourá) is a ceremonial infantry unit that guards the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Presidential Mansion in Athens, Greece.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeomen_of_the_Guard

    The King’s Body Guard of the Yeomen of the Guard is a bodyguard of the British monarch. The oldest British military corps still in existence, it was created by King Henry VII in 1485 after the Battle of Bosworth Field.

    Issue one of those as battle dress.

    Originally I misremembered and thought that San Marino’s Crossbow Corps were Luxembourg’s. San Marino isn’t in NATO, so unfortunately, I think that crossbows are out as primary issue weapon:

    EDIT: Oh, yes. There’s no land mine covered. Let’s do the chicken-warmed nuclear landmine. I’m fairly sure that the potential for a complete mess here is pretty good.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Peacock

    Blue Peacock, renamed from Blue Bunny and originally Brown Bunny, was a British tactical nuclear weapon project in the 1950s.

    The project’s goal was to store a number of ten-kiloton nuclear land mines in Germany.

    Chicken-powered nuclear bomb

    A technical problem is that during winter, the temperature of buried devices can drop quickly, creating a possibility that the mechanisms of the mine will cease working due to low temperatures in the winter.[5] Various methods were studied to solve this problem, such as wrapping the bombs in insulating blankets.

    One proposal suggested that live chickens would be sealed inside the casing, with a supply of food and water.[6] They would remain alive for approximately a week. Their body heat would apparently have been sufficient to keep the mine’s components at a working temperature.

    Ive already been in this unit. The secret is to start with any non-combat arms unit, and then dedicate yourselves to being as “stractical” as possible.
