Seen in '''Ace Combat 03: Electrosphere''' and '''Ace Combat: Advance''', General Resource is a conglomerate with enormous financial capital that dominates all kinds of industries and functions outside the framework of nations. Globalization of financial markets progressed in line with developments in capitalistic principles, and corporate mergers and take-overs began to be frequent and common.

'''General Resource''',{{Note|group=a|{{Nihongo|'''General Resource Limited'''|ゼネラルリソース|Zenerarurisōsu}}}} also known as '''General Group''' or '''GR Group''',{{Refcall|FRONTLINE2012}} is a multinational corporation with enormous financial capital.

General Resource, along with its rival competitor [[Neucom Incorporated]], functions outside of the framework of nations. The company has territorial holdings across the [[Usea]]n continent and has sold many aircraft designs to the [[Universal Peace Enforcement Organization]]'s [[Special Armed Response Force]].
As a result, prominent capital assets in all countries were ultimately combined and concentrated on a large scale. Within this wave of world-wide conglomeration, the General Resource Group attained enormous growth and developed into a huge multinational corporate entity. General Resource Ltd. was created as a result of a transformation within [[Grunder Industries]], much like how [[Neucom Inc.]] had come from the [[Erusian Air and Space Administration]]

General Resource was one of the four factions the player could join in ''[[Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere]]''.

Strangely, General Resources could be seen also as a sponsor in some tennis courts in Namco's game "Roland Garros 2005", like also Ouroboros, Neucom and UPEO, giving a frightening shadow to the game.

==[[Grunder Industries]]==
 
It is believed that Gründer transformed into General Resource Ltd. in an strategic initiative to gain economic power from Osea and of course Yuktobania.
 
   
  +
===Formation===
After the Belkan War, the South Belkan Munitons factory would became Grunder Industries. During the Circum Pacific war, Grunder Industries was economically destabilized when the Razgriz destroyed their command center.
 
  +
In the early 21st century, the global financial market continued developing capitalist principles, resulting in large corporate mergers and takeovers. In the process, prominent assets in many countries were consolidated into a single company, which became General Resource.{{Ref|AC3WebCompanies|[http://bandainamcoent.co.jp/cs/list/acecombat3/page05.html PlayStation/エースコンバット3-エレクトロスフィア-].}} One example was the [[In-sa-net Telegraph and Telephone Communication]], which General Resource bought out in 2024.{{Ref|PeekABoomITTC|[[Peek-A-Boom!]] in-game information on [[In-sa-net Telegraph and Telephone Communication]], ''[[Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere]]''.}}
   
  +
Within years of its formation, General Resource would grow to become one of the largest conglomerate companies on the planet,{{Ref|AC3-M19|[[Soldier of Fortune]], ''[[Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere]]''.}} nearly monopolizing various industries including [[General Broadcasting System|broadcasting]], publication, food, medical care, construction,{{Ref|AC3-WorldView-034|''[[Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere - Mission & World View Guide Book]]'', page 034.}} heavy industry, military technology, and urban development.{{Ref|AC3-WorldView-038|''[[Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere - Mission & World View Guide Book]]'', page 038.}} The company even went so far as to establish the Sandbury Defense College, a military research school in the [[Sandbury Desert]].{{Refneed}} It was said that since General Resource owned everything necessary to live, it was necessary to live by following General Resource.{{Refcall|AC3-WorldView-034}}
==Early Stages/Overview==
 
   
  +
Due to its massive influence, General Resource transcended the borders of nations. Laws became meaningless, since governments lacked the capability to regulate a company as large as General Resource, and lawmakers themselves supported General Resource and would not want to cross the company.{{Refcall|AC3-WorldView-034}}
General Resource LTD was formerly known as [[Grunder Industries|Gründer Industries]], based in North Osea/South Belka. Gründer had a long history of being involved in war and conflict, having supplied Belkan forces during the 1995 [[Belkan War|Belkan Conflict]] as the South Belkan Munitions Factory, as well as supplying both [[Osea]] and [[Yuktobania]] in the 2010 [[Circum-Pacific War]]. The latter conflict left the company economically unstable due to a united offensive spearheaded by the [[Razgriz Air Command Squadron]] that left its headquarters in Sudentor in ruins
 
   
  +
===Early armed conflicts===
Sometime after their involvement in the Circum-Pacific War, the entire company was rebranded and restructured. The upper management was replaced and streamlined, save for a few key individuals. This change caused the company to grow very quickly indeed. Through a series of large mergers, [[Grunder Industries|Gründer Industries]] became General Resource LTD. The reason for this was likely to gain economic power from the two superpowers it formerly tried to resist, being Osea and Yuktobania.
 
  +
General Resource created two private military forces: the [[General Resource Defense Force]] (GRDF), to promote the effectiveness of General Resource products;{{Refneed}} and the [[Air Strike Force]] (ASF), to take out perceived threats against General Resource.{{Ref|ACA-Plot|[http://www.humansoft.com/index.php/games/gba-nds/5-game-6 Ace Combat Advance]. Retrieved on 12 November 2017.}} The GRDF, in particular, acquired [[Abyssal Dision]] as one of their pilots following his graduation from General Resource's Sandbury Defense College in 2018.{{Refneed}}
   
  +
In 2026, a terrorist organization was discovered operating on the Usean continent. Due to Usea's governments losing their individual power, they called on General Resource for help. The GRDF successfully destroyed the terrorist forces.{{Refneed}}
The company was known for specializing in military technologies, such as operating systems, aircraft, naval craft, assault vehicles and weaponry. For their own defense force, General Resource focused on more practical aviation designs and technologies, rather than the untested, radical designs of their Neucom counterparts. Designs that were radical and exceeded Neucom technology were instead given to their sponsors Osea, Yuktobania and other allied nations. These more modified, exciting designs were allowed for use in their military forces, not to mention exported and sold to others not allied with these sponsor countries. These were intended to be mass-produced and modified by Osean and Yuktobanian companies to ensure economic stability. These measures proved effective as Osea and Yuktobania earned tremendous profits during this time as stakeholders and tax collectors. However, the contracts under which these technologies were developed specified that:

However, by the 2030s, General Resource's influence on Usea grew to the point where some countries saw the company as a threat. General Resource continued using the ASF to enforce its massive power. In 2032, an alliance of countries created the [[United Air Defense]], an international squadron whose aim was to weaken General Resource and destroy the ASF. After fierce fighting, the ASF was destroyed and General Resource's hold on Usea considerably weakened.{{Ref|ACA|''[[Ace Combat Advance]]''.}}

  +
===Rise of Neucom===
In a relatively short period of time, General Resource had spread into the global market and begun to rival Neucom Inc. on every front.
 
  +
General Resources was not the only mega-corporation on the Usean Continent. [[Neucom Incorporated]] had existed for several years and had acquired numerous Usean industries, such as the [[Erusean Air and Space Administration]], and even had its own space center in the [[Comona Islands]]. It was active in many of the same fields as General Resources as a competitor.
   
  +
After the Darkness of Enigma project was canceled, numerous General Resources scientists defected to Neucom. {{Stub}}
== Marching Into the Future (2016 - 2030) ==
 
In an amazing feat, just a few years after their formation General Resource had grown to be one of the largest companies on the planet. As usual, they continued to create their standard products: Aircraft, tanks and warships. But they had also begun creating other essential items as well, examples of these being computer programs and aircraft modification parts.
 
   
  +
===Nemo simulation===
General Resource had also begun to expand itself by establishing a General Resource Defense Force in 2016, originally intended as a way to operate their own products on a large scale in order to showcase their effectiveness. Additionally, they had established a School in conjunction, which taught multiple fields of research in the military sector. The School was known as the Sandberry GR Defense College and was General Resource's first establishment on the Usean Continent, which was where most of their business in the next decades would eventually bring them.
 
  +
{{Cleanup}}
 
By the early months of 2020, the world was on the verge of a reform. Many smaller and some medium countries were becoming so dependent on technologies from many corporations that their own governments began to become somewhat useless. In a few cases by late 2020, some countries are actually run by corporations and not their respective governments. Such instances were most evidenced by the government of the [[Democratic Republic of Leasath]], run by the head of its arms industry, [[Diego Gaspar Navarro]] during the [http://acecombat.wikia.com/wiki/Leasath-Aurelia_War Leasath-Aurelia War].
 
 
Meanwhile, General Resource continued to grow at an extreme rate. In 2023 the [[ITTC]], a large communication system established for world wide communication was bought by General Resource and modified. As plans to add Video Mail and Text Broadcasting Services were going on, a crisis had arisen in 2026 on the [[Usean Continent]]. A group of terrorists were found operating on the continent and allegedly had military resources backing them. The General Resource Defense Force was dispatched to the continent and helped the now-weakening Usean Government in hopes of operating on the continent. The terrorists were suppressed by the GRDF forces and talks were held about GR's future on the Usean Continent with the Usean Government.
 
 
From this conflict the GRDF had gained an Ace Pilot, the first since the war of 2010, 16 years ago. His name was Abyssal Dision, a graduate in Aerospace Engineering from the Sandberry College.
 
 
However, this'' ''incident was not their '''only''' armed action they partook in. Sometime in the 2030s, General Resource LTD. engaged the [[United Air Defense]] (UAD), which resulted in a short, but fierce conflict. The UAF managed to hold off the General Resource Forces in the form of the Air Strike Force and destroy the GR Command Center, from which the attacks originated. Though there were reports of GR attempting to deploy hydrogen oxygen missiles, no official actions were taken against them for undisclosed reason, and the entire conflict was looked past by the world community. The reason was that the whole actions were not done with the consent of General Resource leaders, and instead done at the behest of Belkan perpetrators in an attempt to get more Belkan power behind GR.
 
 
== Faith Park and the Fallout (2040 - 2044) ==
 
 
In 2040, the first of many miscommunications between General Resource and Neucom had taken place. Afterwards, Neucom had said that it was a General Resource attempt to control Neucom growth and threatened General Resource. This was known as the Faith Park Dispute. The Neo-United Nations stepped in and talks were held. The conflict was settled immediately after this, with each group being assigned areas in which they are allowed to operate in, on the Usean Continent.

A GRDF Unit is launched from Expo City Air Base and they intercept a large Neucom Transport group. The following aerial battle resulted in Expo City, the second largest city on the continent, taking much damage from aircraft which were shot down and crashed into the city or bullets and missiles which had missed their targets.

― General Resource promo reel prior to Awakening[3]

General Resource,[a] also known as General Group or GR Group,[1] is a multinational corporation with enormous financial capital. The company has leading developments in many industries, particularly military technology. The company's headquarters on Earth is located in Port Edwards.[4] It also owns multiple subsidiaries, including GR Trading, GR Guardian Mercenaries, and GR Marine & Ships.[1]

General Resource, along with its rival competitor Neucom Incorporated, functions outside of the framework of nations. The company has territorial holdings across the Usean continent and has sold many aircraft designs to the Universal Peace Enforcement Organization's Special Armed Response Force.

General Resource was one of the four factions the player could join in Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere. The company also appeared in Ace Combat Advance, made a cameo appearance in Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation, and most recently appeared in the DLC missions for Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown.

History

Early history

On December 20, 2012, GAZE reported that the Kingdom of Erusea purchased the Alicorn as scrap metal from Yuktobania via GR Trading,[5] a trading company owned by General Resource Limited.[1] GAZE also reported on the submarine being escorted by General Resource vessels during its delivery to Erusea.[6]

By 2015, General Resource Limited began selling weapons to Estovakia. During the Emmeria-Estovakia War, General Resource continued supplying the Estovakian military while they were occupying Emmerian territory.[7]

In 2019, the Mimic Squadron mercenary unit belonging to GR Guardian Mercenaries, a PMC company owned by General Resource Limited,[1] was hired by Osean Brigadier General Howard Clemens.[8] The squadron was tasked with assassinating Trigger and attempted to complete their contract during both Operation Sighthound[5] and Operation Domino. During the latter deployment, both members of Mimic were killed by Trigger.[8]

Formation

In the early 21st century, the global financial market continued developing capitalist principles, resulting in large corporate mergers and takeovers. In the process, prominent assets in many countries were consolidated into a single company, which became General Resource.[9] One example was the In-sa-net Telegraph and Telephone Communication, which General Resource bought out in 2024.[10]

Within years of its formation, General Resource would grow to become one of the largest conglomerate companies on the planet,[11] nearly monopolizing various industries including broadcasting, publication, food, medical care, construction,[12] heavy industry, military technology, and urban development.[13] The company even went so far as to establish the Sandbury Defense College, a military research school in the Sandbury Desert.[citation needed] It was said that since General Resource owned everything necessary to live, it was necessary to live by following General Resource.[12]

Due to its massive influence, General Resource transcended the borders of nations. Laws became meaningless, since governments lacked the capability to regulate a company as large as General Resource, and lawmakers themselves supported General Resource and would not want to cross the company.[12]

Early armed conflicts

General Resource created two private military forces: the General Resource Defense Force (GRDF), to promote the effectiveness of General Resource products;[citation needed] and the Air Strike Force (ASF), to take out perceived threats against General Resource.[14] The GRDF, in particular, acquired Abyssal Dision as one of their pilots following his graduation from General Resource's Sandbury Defense College in 2018.[citation needed]

In 2026, a terrorist organization was discovered operating on the Usean continent. Due to Usea's governments losing their individual power, they called on General Resource for help. The GRDF successfully destroyed the terrorist forces.[citation needed]

However, by the 2030s, General Resource's influence on Usea grew to the point where some countries saw the company as a threat. General Resource continued using the ASF to enforce its massive power. In 2032, an alliance of countries created the United Air Defense, an international squadron whose aim was to weaken General Resource and destroy the ASF. After fierce fighting, the ASF was destroyed and General Resource's hold on Usea considerably weakened.[15]

Rise of Neucom

General Resources was not the only mega-corporation on the Usean Continent. Neucom Incorporated had existed for several years and had acquired numerous Usean industries, such as the Erusean Air and Space Administration, and even had its own space center in the Comona Islands. It was active in many of the same fields as General Resources as a competitor.

After the Darkness of Enigma project was canceled, numerous General Resources scientists defected to Neucom.

The NUN calls in the Universal Peace Enforcement Organization (UPEO) to reinforce all Neo-United Nations sanctions on the continent. However, as they arrive Neucom begins to vector Transport Flights directly over cities in General Resource territory escorted by Neucom's own Fighter Aircraft. Finally shots are fired. A SARF Unit is launched from Expo City Air Base and they intercept a large Neucom Transport group. The following aerial battle resulted in Expo City, the second largest city on the continent, taking much damage from aircraft which were shot down and crashed into the city or bullets and missiles which had missed their targets.

The Neo-United Nations then put even harsher restrictions on each company because of this and established no fly zones around every major city on the continent. Unfortunately, this did not change anything.

In early 2040 a Neucom transport group entered Expo City airspace and did not heed UPEO warnings. The transport group was shot down by UPEO pilots.
