[quote]After consideration, the following amendments have been made to the order:

10 F-35 Lightning II
10 F-23 Black Widow

Orders on the missiles will have to await further discussion between the Director and General of the Army Thomas Garnier. In addition, the funds have been wired.

[b]Encrypted to the Commonwealth of Africa[/b]

[quote]"All weapons are en route, advance shipments of weaponry are being sent by air along with advisers/trainers to allow for some instruction and training on use of weaponry before main bulk of order arrives. We thank you for doing business with us, and wish you luck."[/quote]

In Sarnunga, inside the People's Pavilion (the renamed Imperial Palace) the plans for Operation Exodus were stored. While it outlined a very real scenario for the Commonwealth, whether the scenario actually happened was anybody's guess. Nonetheless, Director Frontino ensured every commander was familiar with the details and goals of the plan.

Onto the plan itself, it split the Commonwealth Army into three groups - Army Group A in the northeast, Army Group B in the north and Army Group C in the northwest. The following is the specific breakup and goals of each army group:

Army Group A
Commander: Major Christian St-Pierre
1st Mixed Armor Division
1st African Motorized
1st Armor Division
1st African Infantry Division
2nd African Infantry Division
Goals: To control and secure the province of Niger for the Commonwealth and to deny the PRA the chance to strike at key airfields in the Commonwealth.

Army Group B
Commander: Lt. Maj. Marshall Gaulin
1st African Armored Cavalry Regiment
1st African Half-Fireteam
2nd African Motorized Division
4th Armor Division
Goals: To cut enemy forces off from each other and to provide a team of soldiers prepared to act as "firemen", plugging holes in other army group's lines.

Army Group C
Commander: Lt. Col. Elewechi Nwagugheuzo
1st Independent Mixed Brigade
1st African Mechanized Division
3rd African Motorized Division
3rd Armor Division
4th African Infantry Division
Goals: To deny the enemy a chance to strike at Sarnunga and vital coal mines in Togo and Benin.

Fearing a breach in security following the capture of an alleged PRA spy, encryption methods were ramped up, including radio talk. All units switched to a new code when discussing movements, plan changes and goal/objective modifications.

OOC: Unless Markus can explain otherwise in the GM's court, i'm inclined to agree. As of this post, those first two sentences as well as any other metagames, are now wiped. Proceed as normal from here.

OOC: Before ya'll call me out for metagaming, I remember RPing my Sarnunga computers using a separate intraweb for military plans and details...I don't know where that post went, so I'll have to rectify that in this post.
IC:

After finding an error in the encryption method for the plans of Operation Exodus, the computer storing the operation map, unit strength, commanders and goals was moved to a secure computer, with an encryption method several levels above the method used for normal military plans. Only the officers involved, Overwatch Officers with correct clearance, General of the Army Thomas Garnier and Director of the Vanguard Frontino Sopuluchukwu would have access to the plans. The secretary in charge of the encryption methods for Operation Exodus was shot.

Soldiers in the 1st AACR, 1st African Half-Fireteam and 2nd Motorized have begun training with the M8G assault rifle, MK43 machine gun, Mk14 EBR DMR, Px4 Storm pistol and SPIKE AT-HEAT system.

The total amount of SPIKE AT-HEAT systems ordered would be divided evenly amongst units in Operation Exodus along all army groups, but priority was given to Group B.

An additional 65,592 soldiers have been drafted into the Commonwealth Military to deal with the recent "RB" infection. 1,399 T-80 tanks will be commissioned in the coming year to be built and will form an entire armored corps, with the possibility of another Armored Cavalry Regiment.

One. Destroy the enemy's hope for victory.
Two. Use everything to your advantage.
Three. Take advantage of the weakness of your enemy.
Four. Attack from an unexpected direction.

TRANSCRIPT FOR MILITARY MEETING
06/27/11
KEY:
DF: Director Frontino
GT: General of the Army Thomas Garnier
MB: Minister of the Army Mitchell Beauchamps
MP: Minister of the Air Force Ryan Perry
MC: Minister of the Armored Corps Victorine Chastain

DF: Ladies, gentlemen.
All: Director.
[i]The shuffling of chairs. Members are taking their seats as GT lays out a map detailing Commonwealth military positions.[/i]
[img]http://i.imgur.com/hvC9b.png[/img]
GT: As this map shows, the Commonwealth has placed army groups with a minimum of ten thousand soldiers in every province. Our eastern border is guarded by AA weapons and airbases, but if needed Army Group West can be transferred to the area.
MC: Army Group West has an armored division, correct?
GT: Yes. Almost all army groups have at least one armored division.
MB: If I may, sir?
DF: Yes, Minister Beauchamps?
MB: While this is a bit off-topic, I would like to recommend a change in encryption methods. This article from Global Research contains documents from a secure server.
DF: It will be dealt with. Go on, General.
GT: As I was saying, I feel that we should not be concerned with militarizing our western border so much. We all remember the effects Directive Order 203 had.
MC: This is not a declaration of anything, General. This is simply militarizing of a border. Nobody will see it unless they are looking for it, and if they are looking for it, then we have bigger things to worry about than directive orders.
DF: General Garnier has a point. For now, though, we cannot discuss any other troop movements until I am sure that no spies from any foreign power can listen to these conversations. Minister Perry, do you have any comments?
MP: I do have one. I recommend that we integrate a mobile AA brigade into the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment. There's a severe lack of AA weapons in that area, and a mobile unit would serve to protect our soldiers from strafing aircraft.
DF: If there are no other comments, then we can adjourn.

Mere hours later, encryption levels were increased. Scientists also looked into mobile anti-air weapon platforms.

TRANSCRIPT FOR MILITARY MEETING

KEY:
DF: Director Frontino
GT: General of the Army Thomas Garnier
MB: Minister of the Army Mitchell Beauchamps
MP: Minister of the Air Force Ryan Perry
MC: Minister of the Armored Corps Victorine Chastain

DF: Let's skip the pleasantries and get down to business, shall we?
All: Of course, Director.
DF: Alright, now that I am sure communications are preserved and secure, what are the concerns of yours? Minister Beauchamps, you first.
MB: Yes, Director. Now, I may have been appointed to the position only a few weeks ago, but I know a threat when I see one.
GT: And that threat would be?
MB: The Wagadou Empire.
DF: Please tell me you are kidding, Minister. We literally just signed an MDoAP with them!
MP: I must agree, Director. The Empire of Wagadou has signed treaties with the PRA, a state that's at least twice our size and is nuclear armed. They signed a military treaty with them, we signed a simple non-aggression pact.
DF: Signing treaties to find allies does not equate to a significant threat we should be worried about!
MC: They have, however, leased a portion of their territory to the International Legion, sir.
DF: You mean that band of misfit military nutjobs?
GT: Indeed, sir. It appears their newest base in right on our border.
DF: Please, enlighten General Garnier and I as to how this is a threat.
MB: Now, Director, I see your concerns, seeing as you've just signed a treaty with them. However, I feel it is my duty as Minister of the Army to inform you of this possible threat-
DF: Enough. I will not stand for the slandering of an ally. Minister Chastain, do you have any concerns?
MC: Ah, yes I do. I do recommend the expansion of the armored corps. From my calculations, we can train another thousand or so crews for a similar number of armored vehicles from the Katyusha MRLS to the Sturmtiger SPRA, and perhaps even adding the 9K22 Tunguska to other units, particularly our armored units.
GT: I will see to it that the crews are trained.
DF: If that is all, then this meeting is over. Gentlemen, ladies.

Katyusha rocket launchers, finding new uses with standard high-explosive rockets and incendiary rockets, were soon the subject of a new program: Sarin gas. A toxin 500 times deadlier than cyanide, the project (named Project Black Weapon) began to weaponize Sarin gas into a missile launch able from a Katyusha rocket launcher system. The rocket is based off of the already successful Katyusha rocket, with sarin gas packs inserted into the payload. Testing was underway in deserted and minimally populated areas of the Commonwealth to refine the weapon.
