Biohazard Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Numerous workers from the Empire were to be directed towards the Joint Legion-Wagadou Territory. The workers would begin construction of numerous docks for commercial ships, airstrips for private and personal commercial aircraft, airstrips for military aircraft, and housing projects for the Legion and Wagadou residents. Wagadou armed forces would be rotated in and out of the area, staying for a period of two months, for combat training and joint exercises with the Legion forces arriving. The first shipment of Wagadou soldiers would be 6,000 men strong. In addition to the military housing, and commercial ventures in the JLWT, a city was going to be constructed on the outskirts of it, almost in Wagadou-proper. It would be a massive commercialized city, with numerous housing units to support a population. The city would be named Legion, in honor of the nation.

Captain Enema Posted June 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Legion transports quickly make the trip and the Engineers and their security detachment make themselves busy with the mundane chores of construction. It's quite a bit of construction, slated to take several weeks in fact. This is not much of an problem as the oncoming Legion forces will be able to stretch their legs by performing field execercises with their new partners in commerce and regional security to shake the rust off.

Captain Enema Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) The prefabricated sleeping and dining quarters are quickly raised. They follow a very sturdy, rugged, and easily to build design that are rather spartan of creature comforts. With time though air conditioners, a bit of paint, and the other creature comforts of home will be added. Other small buildings are going up as well that follow specific designs for warehouses, machine shops, and repair buildings. Recreational facilities are a bit spartan at this point, with plans for a movie theater and sports complex to go up in several months. Till then things like the bulldozed bit of rough country will have to do for the Legion's Football pitch.

Captain Enema Posted June 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 All Legion forces slated for the West African Development Brigade have arrived. Housing for them has been built. Recreational facilities for these troops are being outsourced to local firms at the present times. Legion Engineers begin the immediate construction of a remote storage site that will become the future home for the equipment for an entire Armored Brigade. A Port Sudan firm by the name of Port Sudan Imports and Exports also is given permission to seek out local partners for a fabrication plant that will provide several dozen local jobs and profits for the local partners.

Captain Enema Posted July 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 In the spirit of harmony and brotherhood the Legion Ministry of Education donates the money, books, desks, and supplies to open up 10 small neighborhood style schools in the West African Project Area. These schools are designed to bring vital education services to local communities. The Legion Ministry of Education will pay teachers from the Empire of Wadagou to teach material that are culturally appropriate to the area. Further, educational funding grants are being made available by the Ministry to facilitate the foreign studies of 200 young men and women from the Empire under the Legion Education Service plan. Five years of education for five years of community service in the joint development area. The Legion Ministry of Health is also setting up a joint office in the development zone for the purpose of jointly establishing a network of rural clinics and other vital health services. The office will be funded by Legion Health Services and jointly staffed with doctors, nurses, and health specialists from primarily the Empire with a smattering of accounting support from Legion. These projects fall outside of the West African Development Company and come under the Legion Government Ministries which are sponsoring them. They are projects designed to ensure the local areas are properly serviced and the citizens are properly cared for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Enema Posted July 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 (edited) Classified: Medical and Educational Projects are well underway. The finishing touches are made on the housing quarters. Port and airstrip work is commencing as well. A local security detachment is being organized as well. The men are hired from the Joint Area population and sent to Wadagou Security Schools with a supplemental training course given in Legion security procedures by the Legion SOG team already in place once they've completed their training at their own national facilities. Authorized Strength for the Joint Development Security Force: 850 Men (OOC: Civilian police services only.. not military.) A medical transport company is founded as well by the Honorable West African Company. It will offer its services to the local population for free whilst charging the government for their expenses. It is considered a nonprofit organization. Staff for the ambulances, both ground and air based are recruited from local sources. Training is outsourced to Wadagou vendors and supplemented by the Legion SOG Medical Detachment. Special Detachment Team members have been busy at work creating a series of deep caches for fuel and munitions. Positioning this equipment will take quite sometime as it is being done a bit at a time. Future expenditures will show the purchase of new combat vehicles of all sorts and artillery for the caches.

Biohazard Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Construction was done in Wagadou-proper for the commercial city, Legion. It is regarded as a number one tourist destination and resort and leisure area within Wagadou due to its close proximity to the JLWT. Again, on the outside of the JLWT, a joint research facility was being created to create and test new designs. Anything from military, industrial, space, and other assorted technology would be crafted there. A separate portion of the facility would be able to be loaned out to foreign nations, given the right price. Staffing for the schools, new research facility, and the training facility, were being shipped as soon as humanly possible. Coordination with the Legion govt would be made to ensure they arrived at the right place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Enema Posted August 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 With Three divisions in place the area is a bit crowded, however, one soon will be leaving. Until then all three are kept busy with training, and refurbishing their equipment for transport. The civil services of the area are running at full capacity under local control. Local government organizations are running smoothly and are holding regular elections. Educational grants are being handed out to promising young scholars to go study at institutes of higher learning in Ghana or elsewhere if they so choose to do so. Businesses are booming and running at full capacity providing a range of products to Western African buyers. These include cell phones, vehicles, and a range of personal electronics. The profits are split equally between Legion Government and the government of Ghana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Enema Posted September 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Legion forces stand at three divisions in the area. West African Division, 4th Armored Division, and the Central African Division. Commerce and infrastructure development projects once again are started up as the area calms down. The Central African Division is hard at work deploying into its 16 local patrol bases and creating a system of infrastructure to support long term operations. Fuel, food, and other material requisitions are forwarded to local PRA and West African Military commands and paid for at market rates.
