Formed during a period of global unrest, the Asian Continental Military Forces came to be. Intentionally founded to directly counteract NATO due to increasing western aggression. The ACMF formed an intergovernmental military alliance in order for mutual defense, global influence and to squander and halt any hopes of NATO seizing power or influence across the eurasian continent.
Headed predominantly by the Russian Federation and the New Chinese Empire. The proposition of the ACMF quickly convinced other large nations to participate in the founding of the alliance like Iran, Pakistan and later Turkey.
As years went by many more minor nations joined the ACMF as well due to it’s promising goals and imposing military power. It is thought by most of the inhabitants living within ACMF countries that it was a rightful, and completely justified cause to form such an alliance, considering their harsh past with NATO and the lack of support from the United Nations. Now that this military alliance was able to rival that of NATO and SEATO collectively, they would soon standardize a majority of their military equipment, protocols and command structures.
The ACMF became notorious for its aggressive nature and policies against its weaker neighbors and other smaller nations. Examples of this are Taiwan, which was surrounded and blocked from the outside world and taken by military action within the month.
Another example would be the ACMF-India Conflicts of 2024, where Pakistan initiated terrorist attacks to draw out and distract India until the NCE started their own invasion of India during that India-Pakistan War. The fighting stopped in 2025 when the three nations signed a treaty, India had lost a lot of territory by then.
Fear from neighboring countries close to ACMF Occupied or aligned territories was common in not only the citizens, but militaries and governing bodies within these bordering nations. One could say that the ACMF had a certain degree of a “bad omen” as often if one were to be near ACMF territory, it would soon fall into their hands or control such as Taiwan, India, etc.
As time progressed building up to world war three, the ACMF were known to be arming insurgencies in the middle east and are known to have been building up military forces along neighboring borders, especially that of Ukraine and Russia, which eventually lead to the complete annexation of Ukraine.
During the Third World War, with the war officially being announced by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in 2026 due to The Russian Federation invading several small Eastern European nations such as Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania, the world was in for a global spanning blood bath covering several fronts, including the Pacific and European theaters.
Some of the earliest fronts during the Third World War were in Asia, with the New Chinese Empire being extremely aggressive and taking smaller islands eventually leading up to a full on invasion of Japan which led to a majority of Southern Japan being successfully annexed by the NCE.
In the European Theater, fighting was fierce. The Russian Federation and Turkey took a blunt part in the fighting within the European Theater against NATO backed nations such as Poland, Greece, Bulgaria and Ukraine. Belarus played a big part in this conflict, allowing free movement of Russian Military assets through its territory.
In the middle east, the Islamic Republic of Iran invades Saudi Arabia in a preemptive strike in order to prevent Saudi oil from falling into NATO hands whilst also attempting to claim it for the ACMF in order to fuel its war efforts in the Pacific and European theaters. Whereas in 2027 a unified effort from Pakistan and the Chinese force a successful full scale NATO retreat in afghanistan.
Ultimately what led to an unexpected “conclusion” to World War 3 in 2032 was “The Flash”. Only a short time before this, The Russian Federation, The Islamic Republic of Iran and Turkey spearheaded a coastal invasion of the American East Coast, staging from the nation of Venezuela which permitted the massing of troops on its shores and borders. The invasion was cut short when ICBMs were launched worldwide, it was unclear who fired first.
With the world going under nuclear armageddon the third world war came to a stop at last on November 2nd, 2032.
The ACMF post-WW3 are often viewed as nothing more than the remnants of what caused the current state of society and are blamed as much, if not more than NATO in causing the Flash. ACMF Remnants and their Descendants are often treated with aggression and racism from people living in the wasteland which leads these remnants and descendants often forming gangs, groups or banding together factions in hopes of increasing their odds of survival. A main goal for a majority of these small groups would be to find a way back home, finding a way to integrate American society post-flash or just survive.
Some of these groups remain hardline ACMF supporters, believing they carry on the legacy of the ACMF. This also includes descendants of ACMF soldiers who were born in America, often told stories and being raised under the same roof of ACMF remnants they see themselves as the architect of the future of their nation. Unfortunately this is usually not the case, these descendants are often forced to integrate with American society post-flash for their own survival and are forced to suppress any involvement with the ACMF, including revealing themselves as raised by ACMF soldiers.
It is not uncommon for ACMF formed groups to be aggressive and seclusive to their American counterparts, rarely letting anyone into their camps or allowing them to even communicate with their members as they feel insecure or afraid that they would eventually be backstabbed or betrayed, which is actually a quite common occurrence. However this did not mean there weren’t camps that were able to support a more open social space with the outside
By then, most if not all ACMF remnants who originally landed on American soil had died of either natural causes or from the very people they attempted to invade, which leaves only ACMF descendants to carry on the legacy of the ACMF. Some of these descendants would remain loyal to the ACMF however they were powerless against the eventual increase of power of the USCPF, eventually forming into the normal US Federal Government by the 2100s.
The name of the ACMF had been all but forgotten, another bad memory for those old enough to even remember it.
