[b]Los Alamos, New Mexico[/b]

The facility was now pursuing a new project, an attempt to build an Electro-Magnetic Weapon designed to take down enemy electrical systems. The weapon would be launched from aircraft or on cruise missiles to disable enemy radar and anti aircraft positions, or to disrupt their communications.

The weapon would use an Explosively Pumped Flux Compression Generator to trigger the device. It uses compressing magnetic flux using high explosive. An EPFCG can be used only once as a pulsed power supply since the device is physically destroyed during operation. An EPFCG package that could be easily carried by a person can produce pulses in the millions of amperes and tens of terawatts, exceeding the power of a lightning strike by orders of magnitude. They require a starting current pulse to operate, usually supplied by capacitors.

More research would need to be done.

Due to the war currently raging, a travel ban is in effect for Gulf Federation Citizens to Europe and Asia. This is to prevent any Gulf Federation citizens being caught in the fighting. This will be in force until further notice.

Citizens of any combatant inside the Gulf Federation are however free to leave if they wish to do so. If they wish to remain for the duration of the conflict they must register with the Gulf Federation Immigration Service to apply for a "temporary war refugee" visa.

From: President Gates of The Republic of Texas

Topic: Travel Ban

Seeing as a major world conflict, the biggest one that has been seen so far in my nation's history, I will get congress to follow in your footsteps and declare a travel ban on the continents of Europe and Asia. In the event that you have any foreigner attempting to harm you government or people and they escape into Texas territory, I will alert the Texas Rangers to begin an immidiate investigation. I hope you will share that same hospitality with us in the event we encounter... a radical. Thank you for your time, and God bless.

Topic: Travel Ban

I am honoured that Texas is willing to join us in a travel ban. I feel that a ban is needed to prevent any strain on our resources and keep our citizens from harms way. I pledge to share that same hospitality with you in the event we encounter any radical. I hope that together we can prevent the war from entering our shores

The Non Nuclear Electro-Magnetic Pulse Bomb Project was now into the third stage. Scientists had built a working Explosively Pumped Flux Compression Generator. The device which was similar to a Mark 84 2000 Pound Bomb had been loaded onto a B-2A Spirit Stealth Bomber and dropped over the testing area.

The resulting blast was similar to an E1 Pulse which is a short fast pulse which destroys any electrical equipment within the blast radius. It produced pulses in the millions of amperes and tens of terawatts, exceeding the power of a lightning strike by orders of magnitude. The electrical systems placed in the area specifically for the test were toasted as their circuits were overloaded.

The NNEMP Bomb would be added to the Gulf Federation Air Force inventory as the EW-1 2000 Pound NNEMP Bomb. Meanwhile work began on a warhead variant for the BMG-109G Tomahawk Cruise Missile, Sundance I Intermediate Ballistic Missile and Trident II D5 Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile.

Strategic Missile Defence System to be implemented over the next three years. Specifics are not yet available as the project is in its planning stages.

MQ-1B Predator Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in service are to be supplemented by MQ-9 Reaper Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles which will begin to enter service shortly.

KC-46A Air to Air Refuelling Aircraft is to replace KC-135R "Stratotanker" Air to Air Tanker Aircraft in service over the next few months.

KC-46A Air to Air Refuelling Aircraft now entering service will instead supplement KC-135R "Stratotanker" Air to Air Tanker Aircraft in service rather than replace them, with plans for KC-135R strength being slowly reduced over the next five years.

Area east of White Lake near New Orleans declared a restricted zone after thousands of tonnes of unexploded ordinance from the exercise is found. Area is unlikely to be cleared for some time. Civilians in the effected area are to be permanently rehoused and compensated.

New political parties are formed:


New Socialist Party - Led by Marie Littlewood. A new fringe party created after the sudden rise in left wing popularity. Democratic Socialist Platform

Communist Party of the Gulf Federation - Led by Natalie Smith. Formed after the success of communism in Europe. They have a good number of followers but are the smallest party. Titoism Platform.

Communists march through Oklahoma City in support of the Commune of France. The Communist Party of the Gulf Federation had financed the protest to drum up support for their cause, plus in an attempt to have a popular uprising in the Gulf Federation.

The New Socialist Party also held a march, but in support of the government and against the Communists. This march clashed with the communist one and police had to keep them apart.

Left Wing Politics in the Gulf Federation was now split with the Communist Party of the Gulf Federation on one side advocating a France style revolution and the New Socialist Party supporting the government who was running in effect a centre left state.

Operation Thunder begins with test of experimental twenty kiloton tactical nuclear bomb. The bomb is dropped from a B-2A Spirit Stealth Bomber and explodes just above the ground in a contained area. A second test is made with a Black Swallowtail Short Range Ballistic Missile with a fifty kiloton warhead.


Meanwhile a new project was under way, codenamed Operation Silent Night. This was the top secret Chemical Warfare Programme, designed to create both offensive chemical weapons for self defence plus to research ways of preventing a chemical attack on home soil.

The first research had begun with a focus on creating a way to deliver lachrymatory agents such as tear gas for use in tactical strikes so to paralyse an enemy position. The testing in the Chemical Warfare Programme would be carried out on prisoners that had been sentenced to death and waiting for execution.
