The Panau Military (sometimes called the Panauan Military) are the armed forces of Panau in Just Cause 2.

Chevalier Traveller SC (rear)

From jungles to mountains to the Desert Peak, all areas of Panau are covered with their bases, this one being Kem Jalan Merpati.

General info[]

All items and vehicles belonging to the Panau military are decorated with the Panauan Star: a white star on a red background; or the Panau Coat of Arms: a blue and red crest with a dove on it.

Apparently out of the four antagonistic forces in the Just Cause games, they are the most aggressive and rude in terms of dialogue.

There are 3 branches of military in Panau: Army, Navy, and Air Force. They all share the same uniforms and rank structure.

The Panauan Air Force has 1 type of transport helicopter, 2 kinds of attack helicopters, 1 model of scout/light attack helicopter, 2 types of fighter jets and 1 kind of cargo jet. The government also owns Panau Air, whose planes are all flown by Panauan Air Force pilots. These vehicles come in desert, jungle, urban, and winter camouflage (Panau Air uses a commercial coating). They control military airports and guard all civilian airfields.

Strangely, for a naval country, the Panauan Navy has only 3 types of watercraft: a small attack boat, an armored gunboat, and at least 1 nuclear submarine, called the U1. These vehicles can come in desert, jungle and, in the case of the YP-107 Phoenix, red, yellow, and aqua camo. They control all Offshore Rigs in Panau, military harbors and numerous facilities. They frequently patrol the waters of Panau.

They also act as the continent's law enforcement (as the Panau Police Department was cut and only implied to exist). Panau Military activities include:

A lot of interesting additional info can be found on the colonels' individual PDA pages. For example, colonel Mo Zuo Itik is running an elite training base.

Members[]

Note that some of these characters can be encountered during free-roam gameplay, while others only appear in missions. Like any nation's military, they have a ranking system, each with a different uniform. They wear mostly red and khaki uniforms.

  • Pandak "Baby" Panay - Probably the "Commander in chief". A head of state normally commands the military, even if not explicitly stated. The actual rank title may differ.
  • 6+ Generals.
    • General Isnin - (probably retired).
    • General Abidin - (status unknown).
    • General Hong - (status unknown).
    • General Vikneshwaran - (status unknown).
    • General Yahya - (status unknown).
    • General "Boom Boom" Bohulano.
    • An unnamed general - mentioned in Chaerul Tunko's PDA entry.
    • Another unnamed general - mentioned in Bamert's PDA entry.
  • 9 Stronghold Commanders.
  • 1 known Base Commander - Commander Ace Hamzah.
  • 54 Colonels.
  • 151+ Officers.
  • 1 known Lieutenant. - Lieutenant Gusti.
  • 24+ Demolition Officers.
  • Less than 100 Secret Service Men.
  • 13+ Ninjas.
  • 6,752+ Grunts and Elites.
    • If we estimate the amount of patrolling soldiers for every kilometer which would be 4, multiply this for every kilometer would give us about 4,140 soldiers. There are 283 cities and villages if we add the average amount of soldiers in cities and villages which would be around 4 multiply this for every city and town would give us another 1,132 soldiers. There are 86 military bases with there being about 10 in every base, multiply gives us another 860 soldiers. There are 30 Mobile Radar with there being 5 near, multiply this gives us 150 soldiers. There are 100 Propaganda Trailers with there usually being 3 soldiers guarding it, multiply this gives us 300 soldiers. There are 55 pipelines with two soldiers guarding each multiply this gives us another 110 soldiers. There are 15 Bio Fuel Shafts with there being 4 guards in them, multiply this gives us 60 soldiers. The player can mod the game so these numbers can change. If we add all these together this gives us a possible amount of Grunts and Elites in Panau.

A grunt at a Communications Outpost.

JC2 loading 17 (sabotage)

One of the loading pictures shows a "grunt" near a Propaganda Trailer holding an AK-47. That weapon doesn't exist in the game.

The most basic and common Panauan soldier, seen paired with each other or Elite soldiers (see below). Grunts are relatively easy to kill. Anything that can cause damage will usually kill them with minimal effort from the player.


Appearance: Their standard apparel consists of a khaki or white shirt with matching pants, sunglasses, a red vest, and either a khaki boonie hat or red beret on their head. There are four different character models for this soldier.

Weapons: Almost always carrying one-handed weapons such as the Pistol, although there are exceptions such as on Pulau Berapi, where a few grunts carry the Rocket Launcher on top of oil tanks. In the later stages of the game, they may occasionally wield two-handed weapons.

Elite at Emas Hitam Oil Refinery

...

Elites are the regulars of the Panau Military. They are better trained and better experienced than the usual grunts, and are better armored and equipped. They are seen wearing basic body armor (a bulletproof vest), which makes them able to survive more damage but not nearly as much as Colonels can. They can also evade grenades like officers and colonels. They appear about as commonly as grunts.

According to the info for colonel Mo Zuo Itik, a lot of them become elite ranks at the Gunung Hutan Merah base.

Appearance: They are taller than grunts, wear a red uniform, a khaki colored ballistic vest, sunglasses, and a helmet or red beret on their heads. Helmets should protect the wearer from incoming projectiles more so than berets, which are just military style hats, but the game does not take this into account. There are four different character models for this character.

Weapons: Most commonly seen carrying two-handed weapons such as the Assault Rifle, Shotgun, and Machine Gun. If riding passenger in a vehicle, road AIs will shoot at you or any faction members they encounter with a Submachine Gun, then switch back to their two-handed weapon when they exit the vehicle. They also use Fragmentation Grenades sometimes when exiting a vehicle and confronting their enemies.

They can also rarely be seen wielding other one handed weapons besides the SMG.

Snipers are grunts or elites armed with scoped, laser-pointed sniper rifles. They do not appear alongside typical groups of soldiers, only spawning as base guards and in missions. They are significantly more dangerous, firing with nearly pinpoint accuracy and allowing only a few seconds for the player to get behind cover or kill them.

Appearance: Same character model as either grunts or elites.

Weapons: As their name suggests, they exclusively wield the Sniper Rifle, which other elites and grunts do not spawn with.

Colonel Usop Yeop

Colonel Usop Yeop.

Main article: Colonels. The most highly trained and heavily armored soldiers, colonels are the closest men to Pandak "Baby" Panay and considered his right hand men by other sources. Their armor is especially strong and they are very difficult to take down without shooting for headshots. They also have several officer bodyguards with them for added protection.

Appearance: Red and grey extremely resistant heavy armor. Red beret on their head.

Weapons: All colonels use the powerful Machine Gun. Some Colonels that appear in missions use other weapons, like the Assault Rifle or even Rocket Launcher. Their bodyguards use the Machine Gun, Assault Rifle, or the Shotgun.

Panauan Officer

A Panauan officer, as seen through a Sniper Rifle scope.

Officers are high ranking soldiers who act as bodyguards to Colonels.

Appearance: Blue beret, black sunglasses and grey/light brown uniforms with the shirt sleeves rolled up.

Weapons: Assault Rifle, Shotgun, Machine Gun. They have a belt with what look like grenades connected to it, but they don't use them.

Panau has only one known lieutenant: 'Sicko' Gusti (see Fender Bender for more). He or other military personnel that may be lieutenants never make an in-game appearance and are only mentioned.

General ''Boom Boom'' Bohulano

General 'Boom Boom'. Note that his appearance is the same as an officer.

  • Panau is known to have at least one general at this time - "Boom Boom" Bohulano. He's seen in the mission Driving Miss Stacey, where the player has the option to kill him. Either way, he is never heard of again. Bohulano's weapon of choice is a Rocket Launcher. Bohulano has the same character model as the officers described above and the military rank symbol above his head is the same as that of a colonel. He is the only "general" / officer which uses a rocket launcher.
  • Colonel Bamert's PDA entry mentions a general, who once had a "steamy conversation" with the "minister of state".
  • Colonel Tunko Isnin is the son of the famous General Isnin who was made into a national hero for slaughtering the indigenous tribes of northern Panau in the 1950s.
  • Colonel Chaerul Tunko is in a homosexual relationship with a "well known army general".
  • 4 Military bases in Panau are named after generals:

Demolition officer
They are officers, who carry a lot of explosives at all times. With the exception of missions, all of them hang out at the bottom of Bio Fuel Shafts.

Main article: Demolition Officer.

Appearance: Dark grey bomb squad like uniforms with light armor.

Weapons: Machine Gun, Assault Rifle, Shotgun, Fragmentation Grenade, Triggered Explosive, and about 10 explosive devices that start flashing and beeping before exploding. These are almost as powerful as level 6 triggered explosives. In missions, however, most use Submachine Guns, oddly.

In most situations they are only mentioned by the Panau Broadcasting Company, but they can be seen in a few missions. With very few exceptions, they all have the Russian flag on their chests for some odd reason. They also all use Submachine Guns unless otherwise specified.

  • In free-roam play, they can be found driving a black MV Quartermaster along the bridges connecting the districts of Panau City, however this is very rare. You are unlikely to find it even after playing the game over 100 hours.
  • In the Reapers faction mission Political Debate, two of them protect senator Quinrun Theng.
  • Councilman Panut is protected by them in the mission One Deadly Sin.
  • Lee Ho Fook uses the same character model as one of them, but he has the Chinese flag on his chest.
  • Tom Gunawan uses the same character model as one of them. He can use any weapon.
  • Three Kings has the 3 faction supporters spawn unlimited of these, but it's uncertain whether they are Panau Secret Servicemen dispatched to protect them, or whether they are bodyguards of the 3. This mission is also the only time you'll find them with the Japanese flag on their chests.
  • They are mentioned to have "disarmed a bomb" during the Mile High Club (mission), but they are actually never seen. In fact, the soldiers guarding the bombs are only elites.
  • They are also seen during the mission Into the Den, where they use a helicopter near the end of the mission. These ones are wearing completely black clothing, instead of the usual "bodyguard" character model. Several more of them can be found in A Just Cause as well.
  • In the side-mission Mercenaries Must Die, the "mercenary" uses the same character model as above.

Gallery[]


They are never actually seen. The Panau Broadcasting Company mentions them right after the mission Free Trade.

These are elite soldiers who are deployed for only the most important tasks, like guarding Pandak "Baby" Panay. They can also teleport. These appear to be all-female based on their cries when they die.

Main article: Ninjas.

Appearance: Standard black ninja uniforms.

Weapons: Submachine Gun.

They're mentioned to have been training in the Rajang river marshes by the Panau Broadcasting Company after the mission A Second Amendment.

The anti-gang mercenary was hired to eliminate the Panauan Factions. He's encountered in the mission "Mercenaries Must Die". The mercenary has a Machine Gun and good body-armour. His armour has no metal parts, but it's about as good as Colonel armour. Colonels are weak to headshots, but the anti-gangster can take over 20 of those.

He uses the same character model as a Panauan Secret Serviceman, but he is different from the usual "bodyguard" type. In fact, assuming you haven't done two certain Agency missions yet, this is the first time you will find such a character model.

They appear in "Mercenaries Must Die" where they hire the aforementioned mercenary for training.

They also appear in "Information Highway" where an officer is delivering orders to them and Rico must hijack his vehicle to download the information. However, in this mission it is stated to be a police task force. This must mean that the task force includes experts from both organizations.

Colonel Wright is a member and that the factions hate him for it.

Stronghold commanders are the head of a specific stronghold. They drive either an UH-10 Chippewa or an SV-1003 Raider. They're encountered at the end of every stronghold takeover mission. They use UH-10 Chippewas mostly. Once you have defeated the Commander, the faction will start chanting "Scorpio, Scorpio".

They use the same character model as a grunt or a elite.

The above "stronghold commanders" are probably the same people. However for example, Kem Sungai Sejuk airport is commanded by commander Ace Hamzah. No other non-colonel base commanders are known by name, but obviously every base is commanded by someone. Ace Hamzah's name and the fact that he's a "base commander" are revealed in the mission The Setup.

It is very likely bases that have Colonels in them are commanded by them.

Known collaborators and partners include:

  • The Seabreeze Logging Corporation at the Seabreeze Sawmill.
  • Some unknown guards in Shakedown. They work for a businessman who apparently does not pay his debts to Irawan.

Military security[]

In game, there is a military presence all over Panau. Given, more military security can be found at a military stronghold compared to a small, rural village. As the game progresses and chaos erupts throughout Panau, military security will increase, most notably in hacking difficulty. In total, military security increases three times.

Vehicles[]

Main article: Category:Military Vehicles.

Vehicles of Pekan Keris Perak

The Panau Military owns a lot of different vehicles. The ones here are at the Pekan Keris Perak base.

They operate many different types of vehicles including planes, helicopters, a nuclear submarine (U1), boats, trucks, armored vehicles, motorcycles, ATVs (a.k.a quads) and cars. These vehicles come in desert, jungle and winter camouflage with the exception of the Shimuzu PI Service, which only comes in a beige-white colour.

Ground vehicles Fixed-wing aircraft
Helicopters
Boats and ships


Facilities[]

Once Rico discovers them, they will all be marked on the PDA map by a military logo that indicates the type of the facility.

All military facilities have several sabotage destructible objects; military vehicles, and structures used for defensive purposes such as Guard Towers and SAM sites.

Military facilities include:

  • Bases.
  • Ports.
  • Airports.
  • Strongholds.
  • Communications Outposts.
  • And several others. Some ports/bases/strongholds operate as oil refineries, but there is no symbol for an oil refinery that becomes marked on the PDA map. At times it is difficult to tell if a settlement is supposed to be a military or a civilian facility, because all facilities are guarded by the military. It is also hard to tell the difference because there are plenty of civilian villages that operate as oil refineries as well. Many of these can be found near the Emas Hitam Oil Refinery.

Note that all military airports will be abandoned and military planes stop taking off when Rico completes the facility to 100%. If it's a civilian airport, soldiers will still continue to occupy it and planes will continue to take off. This also happens at ports, most ports being completely deserted after completion. Some ports, such as Pulau Berapi, remain occupied, but usually with less soldiers and many of them will not be restricted anymore. Note that only occupied moving vehicles will not spawn, you will still be able to find planes in hangars and helicopters on helipads. The only exception to this is the Bering I-86DP.

Upon completing a military facility to 100%, the following could happen. Note that the areas with Colonels are always restricted areas.

  • The facility is deserted and is no longer a restricted area. This is extremely rare.
  • The facility is not deserted but is no longer a restricted area. This is the most common.
  • The facility is deserted but remains a restricted area. This is somewhat rare.
  • The facility is not deserted and remains a restricted area. This is extremely rare.
  • Kastelo Singa remains occupied and a restricted area even after Mountain Rescue is done and if the base is completed to 100%. This is probably owing to the fact that this is the Panau Military's largest military base. This and maybe even a headquarters of a particular command.
  • Wajah Ramah Fortress's cannons still fire on Rico even after the base is completed.

Artificial intelligence[]

The military artificial intelligence is... not the best. They often drive well above a safe speed and often make small mistakes, such as like driving into a gas pump. Often times, these can result in death or injury to the AI.

During heat, the military acts fast and always drives at full speed, which can make small mistakes deadly. A good example are the soldiers that drive the Hamaya GSY650 who often die in chases. Another example are the soldiers in jeeps, as they sometimes crash into a streetlight or other static object and their vehicle explodes, killing its crew. There are many more examples.

The soldiers that are seen driving Hamaya GSY650s, as taken as an example above, are usually the most clumsy at high speeds. If Rico was to drive alongside them during a chase on a bridge that is easy to ramp over the sides, the soldier would mostly drive up and over the side of the bridge with a scream, followed by the explosion of their motorcycle.

The Panauan Navy boat operators often crash their boats into objects like docks and such, sometimes even crashing into a beach, which usually results in an explosion. There have been many situations where they have crashed into civilian boats. On rare occasions, a boat operator might drive his YP-107 Phoenix onto land, destroying his boat and killing him and his gunner.

The UH-10 Chippewas of the Panauan Air Force can crash or get stuck in high urban objects and large masts in military bases. In some rare cases, an Al-controlled helicopter has destroyed a Communications Mast. Sometimes they fly close to the ground and crash into a tree. Some of the less experienced pilots manage to crash while Rico is hijacking the aircraft. They are particularly bad at controlling the helicopter if they are close to the ground or a mountain. This is most common when the vehicle is being hijacked, most likely because the programming does not register that Rico is on/in the vehicle and the soldier still moves in Rico's direction.

Do not expect this to be common, but it can happen.

Bad AI 2
Bad AI 3

The military does not use planes in combat, but they are constantly taking off at airports (unless you complete that airport to 100%) and you can often see them in the sky. The ones seen flying in the sky, however, are usually only civilian aircraft, not fighter jets. The less than intelligent pilots sometimes crash their planes into skyscrapers, mountains, bridges and other high items. At some military airports that have at least one Si-47 Leopard, they sometimes veer off course during a takeoff and either gain flight for a second then crash or spin out of control and hit other objects.

Interestingly, if Rico is in the stunt position of a plane driven by a Panauan Military pilot, an UH-10 Chippewa can still be dispatched to Rico's relative position.

The incredibly stupid soldiers of the Panuan Army will sometimes ignore you, even in restricted areas. There have been cases where a player stands in front of an elite who barely gives him a second glance. The video then shows the player bumping into the soldier, which results in an armored vehicle arriving on the scene and tearing the player apart with a slug of steel.

They do not stop pursuing you when driving down slopes, cliffs or bridges, but follow you all the way. This usually results that their vehicles explode, or they will be immobilized, stranded high at a lower cliff. In high places in the Berawan Besar Mountains, they will sometimes carry on driving past the player if he/she stops just before going down the hill.

If soldiers get stranded at the side of a road, they will take any vehicles that are not used by anyone, even what you had just driven.

The Panau Military will also open fire when you use the Happy Bubble Blaster, due to programming limitations causing it to be considered as a firearm, despite its recreational use.

While definitely focused on killing Rico, liberating faction strongholds is highly beneficial to moving around and fighting in tougher military areas, such as Panau City. The military will engage faction soldiers as much as the player, either allowing the player to work with the faction members to fight off the military or to make a hasty escape while the military is distracted.

Although they are able to use vehicle mounted weapons on helicopters (UH-10 Chippewa, Sivirkin 15 Havoc, AH-33 Topachula, Rowlinson K22), they are not able to use any mounted weapons on ground vehicles. They will still maintain their aggressive attitude as they would do with their own fleet of vehicles and aircraft. They also seem to act as if they were their own military vehicles, an example of this is a soldier saying "man that gun" near an Agency vehicle. This is strange because no Agency vehicle has an external Mounted Gun whereas said phrase is often heard near unoccupied Mounted Guns.

Alternatively, on Hardcore difficulty (see more at Just Cause 2 General Gameplay Tips), said idiot soldiers can often become Terminators after several hours of progression. Their newfound talents include sniping you across a city block with assault rifles, and tearing your health down to less than 5% in under five seconds. While still very much killable, Hardcore provides an extremely noticeable difference in AI behavior and strength. They will also become far more aggressive and skilled with their vehicles, swarming you in a realistic manner before you can put up much of a fight. On Hardcore heavier vehicles are more likely to appear and at lower Heat levels, and are considerably more aggressive with their main guns.

Machine Gun soldiers (be it grunt or elite) also become a big problem on hardcore, as their damage output is significantly increased on hardcore. Sniper and rocket launcher operators also deal severe damage if Rico's health is not upgraded, and even then, upgrading health barely helps on hardcore difficulty. Snipers also shoot you much sooner than they do on other difficulty setting.

Quotes[]

Funny thing is that even when there's no heat and they're talking among themselves, they're using sentences like "Eat lead!" and "Time to die!". In the dialogue, they will call Rico or other criminal faction members an "Anjing", which is Indonesian for "dog" used in a slang and derogatory way, or in certain contextual cases, a "motherf****er" (that last one might be cut and only existing in an unused speech line).

Trivia[]

  • As a result of Baby Panay declaring the country no longer friendly towards foreigners, Panau has anti-Western policies, but as a sort of irony, a lot of the Panau Military's military equipment is based on Western military equipment in real life, as Papa Panay's government was U.S. friendly and purchased some before he died and Baby Panay took over. (Even though Pandak is primarily anti-West, he puts a large emphasis on the United States. However, it was proven during A Just Cause that the U.S. isn't the only western country he deems as a sole enemy.)
    • Maria Kane even remarked that the flak cannons shooting at the H-62 Quapaw at the beginning were sold to the Panau Military by the United States, though whether it came from the Agency or the U.S. military is unknown. More than likely, the United States Department of Defense (the department that oversees the U.S. military) donated their out and outdated weapons, ammo, armor, and other gear to the Panauan Federal Government. This is also a realistic reason as to how Panau acquired this military equipment.
  • For the "He's a goner! Keep firing-lah!" and "Hostile spotted ah! Attack! Attack!" attack lines, many Southeast Asians, especially Malaysians and Singaporeans, usually end sentences with stresses like "lah", "ah" etc. However, the Vietnamese and Burmese do not do this.
  • In the gameplay trailer for Just Cause 2, the enemy AI is much more complex then in the released game. They can run for cover and hide behind it, explaining the voice lines announcing that they are taking cover that were left in the main release. The appearance in the main release of other voice lines of soldiers ordering to flank, exit cover, or other actions that are not present in the game implies that there could have been a very advanced AI system with multiple different tactics, as we already know that the cover voice lines were supposed to actually make the soldiers take cover. They will also strafe when shooting, as opposed to in the main release where enemies will very slowly move 2-3 steps left or right.
  • The Panauan Navy is the only primary naval force in the game series to lack a ship with a cannon. However, there are what appear to be depth charges on the Winstons Amen 69, so they are not completely without explosives.
  • The grunts (normal solders) are the only soldiers that do not use or have grenades equipped.
  • Somewhat unrealistically, every "road AI" grunt and elite can operate a UH-10 Chippewa, AH-33 Topachula, Sivirkin 15 Havoc, and Rowlinson K22, though it is possible the Panau Military put them through some kind of crash course in pilot training.
  • Strangely, despite owning several vehicles with vehicle mounted weapons, they are only ever seen operating the mounted weapons on helicopters.
  • Depending upon the player's actions, by the end of the game, the Panau Military will have lost all their military facilities. However, Hamaya GSY650s and Wilforce jeeps still spawn on the roads of Panau and YP-107 Phoenixes still spawn in waterways. They also still maintain the various checkpoints throughout Panau.
