Operation Overground

OOC: If you have problems with any of the attacks, join #tanis for all OOC discussion or if you don't have IRC, PM the problem and I will relay issues to a GM on IRC or PM.

All OOC arguments here will be ignored, like seriously. (See above for necessary actions) kthxbai

Classified - Republic of Tanis - Multiple Locations

Under the law, Tanis was under a state of emergency and martial law was declared. Bases all over Tanis were being activated for potential enemy attack. All brigades were called into action, there was no time to spare. Over 300,000 troops with their supporting equipment and tanks (about 1,400 of them) were ordered to the new AC Protectorate land of Burma. Loads of transport planes were being loaded with troops and supplies for whatever they were going to do in Burma.

The first wave of aircraft carrying the original light brigade to secure the AC Protectorate along with another three brigades tagged along. In the meantime, the bulk of the forces were being loaded up into awaiting transport ships. This action would be staggered by another 12-24 hours to give anyone watching from the sky nothing to look at.

"Sir, we're sure we know what we're doing?"

"Of course... Dragonsia needs our help... besides, this day was coming sooner or later."

"The AC?"

"They already know, there's already in collective agreement."

"Call it... it begins now."

This was the moment of truth... the prelude of something to rock the Asian continent for centuries to come.

***Public Dispatch - Public Information***

Due to recent security concerns, the Republic of Tanis is increasing the amount of light brigades in AC Protectorate Burma to three. Thank you.

Data links were rapidly established between the Dragonisian military and the military of Tanis to share encrypted communication. A transport submarine docked at one of their warfs and unloaded 50 Mach 6 Saborian AntiShip/AntiSurface missiles with kinetic kill warheads. "You might find these useful if a navy comes by."

A brigade of engineers, mostly assembled from the draft, from civilians who knew the trade, was dispatched immediately to Burma. Their jobs would be to blast and clear ground, making it suitable for the use of heavy armour.

##Classified 100,000 of the Dragonisian Troops came back ashore along with Tanis' in Burma. They saluted their brothers in cause and began to march north with them.##

Fully 10 seperate cruise liners and a number of cargo ships were commandeered for transportation purposes. With comfort set aside, and the soldiers packed in like sardines, 250,000 men were soon enroute to Burma. Heavy equipment would be following later in a custom made vehicle carrier, mostly carrying ammunition and infantry fighting vehicles.

A transport fleet holding two brigades, numbering 20,000 men from the Hanseatic Marine Force sailed out from Brisbane harbor to meet up with the New Cymraeg fleet that was sailing to Burma. They were to link up with the present fleet, along with one cargo ship containing ammunition and some light artillery.

Nearly 339,000 men (338,810, to be precise) would be prepared to ship out, along with a goodly number of tanks and other heavy equipment. Passenger liners would actually be preferred, as it would hide the true numbers that were leaving, though a small number of military transports would also be used. 4 of the six aircraft carriers would be deployed as far north as possible to provide for the aircraft that would also be sent...

OOC: This is only if the war actually begins, as Mercy has called a temporary halt to it...

100,000 Imperial Marines are being shipped out to Burma, along with Battle Group Gamma from our Navy, to patrol the coastline. Along with this, is 25,000 Imperial Airborne, equipped with Attack Helicopters and the necessary flight equipment (C-130 Hercules MTPs).

The first job of the troops in Burma was the construction of a base of operations. The sheer amount of supplies that had been shipped to the beach, along with an army's worth of manpower woudl make such an operation relatively simple. Billeting arrangements were made for several hundred thousand men, as well as mess tents, communications and headquarters bunkers, and supply depots. The relative lack of infrastructure wouls be a challenge to overcome, nothing more.

Additionally, 700 marines came ashore later in the day, amred to the teeth and ready for combat. They would be a forward patrol, advancing up the river valley, to ensure the safety of the army when the time came.

The first airborne detachment of troops consisted of some engineers. Expanding the airfield the handle future heavy use was one of their first agenda in Burma. The few construction equipment they had, was towards this. The airfield was planned to be expanded to two runways, just for Tanisian use. However, as more equipment came ashore from Tanis, they would put more resources in opening other airfields by reclaiming the forests.

It was hot work, but for the first arrivals in Burma. The work of staging up operations was the most important task at hand.

The first of the Ocean Liners containing troops set sail, followed about ten minutes later by the second. Paratroopers were prepared to go at a moment's notice.

Vaulian SWoRD Command HQ establishes secure communications with the allied forces in Burma. Vaulian Prime Minister Ivanov has been flown to Novaya Zemlya, Imperatrix Marimeya has moved to a secure bunker outside of the capital city. Vaule's nuclear and ballistic missile forces go to DEFCON 2.

Military command power has been transferred from the provinces to the capital city.

To supplement the 10,000 troops already stationed at the South Faron Military base, near Lake Baikal, the Army has started sending in shifts of 20,000 soldiers to bring the total number of soldiers stationed around Lake Baikal to 330,000. The soldiers moved to the region by land (above ground in convoys), underground (via Vaule's subway, specifically the military tunnels) and by air (Tupolev planes carrying planeloads of troops to the area). Most of the troops moved via the subway.

3,500 T-90BV tanks and 1,000 VA-774 Hammer MRLS (Based on the TOS-1) are also ordered to move to the region in shifts of 500.

Deployment map will follow shortly.

A Naval task force consisting of 2 Frigates (VNS Irkutsk, VNS Imperator), 2 Destroyers (VNS Lenin, VNS Krasnoyarsk) 2 Subs (VNS Martini, VNS Bourbon) and an aircraft carrier (VNS Excelsior) leave port in Novaya Zemlya and head in an eastern direction towards the Northern Empire. The Excelsior is carrying a single squadron (12) of VAF MiG-29Ks, as well as a number of V-99B Dolphin missiles.

After the first two, each ocean liner full of troops set sail at about half-hour intervals, and would continue to do so until all were in motion. Airplanes were also being loaded with troops and flown to the landing strips in allied airfields.

The military transports were loaded with supplies, including ammo, and tanks. They began leaving about the same time as the civilian passenger liners. They would be protected by several patrolling squadrons of fighters and a Carrier Battlegroup (which would include two submarines, a destroyer, and a battleship).

The final pieces were in place.

The transport ships had arrived earlier that day, offloading 100 Warrior IFVs, as well as several hundred towed artillery pieces, and transport vehicles. In addition enough food, ammo and medical supplies to last several weeks would be placed in storage.

Among the air-dropped men and supplies would be included approximately 600 M113 IFV's. They may not have been as heavily armored as other IFV's, but they were more versatile and mobile, especially considering more heavily-armored variants could not be air-dropped. (OOC: Basicaly, I'm using the Modifications used in Iraq/OOC) Each was additionally covered with a layer of Reactive armor of the Non-explosive brand.

Additionally, along with the approximately 3400 M1 Abrams tanks (mostly of the M1A2 variant, approximately 300 possessing the SEP upgrade), there were 300 M2 Bradley IFV's (250 Warhammer variants and 50 Stinger Fighting Vehicles).

In Vaule:

At noon, all public television stations in Caledonia, Faron, and Outer Mongolian-Buryata played the Vaule National Anthem. However, the Vaulian Flag displayed on the screen was shown waving in a westward wind instead of an eastward one. Understanding the signal, citizens in the densely populated areas of the provinces started packing some basic supplies, and waited for the next code that would indicate that they should move to the underground bunkers.
