At the Southern Ports of the USIH, the massive shapes of blacked out carriers could been seen slowly moving out of their docking areas.

One by one the carriers formed up with their escorts and headed out to sea. They were part of the Reforger Exercise that was about to take place and was involving most of the USIH Military. After a two month stand-down for maintenance this fleet was moving out to take its part in the exercise.

The exercise focused on the landing of 3 Army Corp's into a hostile enviroment preceeded by a naval task force to clear a sizeable area for the troops ships to use for landing. Upon landing the Army corps would move directly into combat with an entrenched enemy in prepared defensive positions.

Forces involved would be a combination of USIH, Holy Empire of Abrams, and Empire of Redge forces, with units from both sides playing defenders and attackers. There was heavy emphasis on the attacking commanders to try out strategies recently developed by Combined HQ and other leading military minds. The exercise also focus's on combining the might of the three participating nations military into an effective force each capable of helping the others.

This exercise is the biggest in USIH history and involves the Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force in unprecedented numbers. Unit strengths and indentifications are unknown at the time although this exercise involves the entire Southern (7th) Fleet with the 6th Fleet further out to sea to protect against any real threat that may emerge during the wargames.

OOC: This is a direct rehersal as it were for intervention on the Ackcasal(sp wrong i know) front and also shows the combination of nations and how well we can work together. Redge and Abrams will be posting later today to confirm their involvement.

Exercise will last for 4 RL days.

Emperor Redge has comfirmed that EoR forces are taking place in this exercise.
This is a good oppurtunity for us to test our Challenger 2 Tanks and other parts of our military in an exercise.

This should also put EoR onto the International Stage.

5th Royal Lancers Brigade took up position along with an Abrams Mechanized Infantry Battalion on the reverse slope of a small hill about 12 miles inland.
They had been warned of a massive fleet on the horizon.

All up the line the small but powerful Redge 4th Army was preparing for combat, checking the MILES systems attached to their Challenger 2 MBT's and Warrior IFV's along with personal gear and blank rounds that would also be fired to simulate combat.

Behind them towed and self-propelled artillery were digging into their already prepared positions ready to provide fire support whilst Tornadoes and Jaguars of the RRAF flew missions with Abrams and IH aircraft in order to get themselves mission ready.

OOC: Nice to see you guys on the forums :P Sorry i missed you 2day.
I suggest we skip straight to combat to keep it short?

IC:

HQ IV Corps (Aboard IHS Vanguard)

"Sir" A messanger moved into the CIC where the naval battle was being run. Upon the giant screens hundreds of icons showed ships, at a glance he saw the Phantom, Edginton and Wilson all running close to the coast launching aircraft, or so the display said.

"Sir, 67th Marines have landed in force at Point Alpha. They report light opposition. Darkstar indicates that they have pulled back from the coast, we are gaining target co-ordinates now.
5th Marines have taken Gillen, casualty reports are still coming in. At the moment we stand on 670 KIA and 782 WIA. All have been moved to the designated 'dead' areas."

"Roger that Major." replied Major General William Franks, commander of IV Corps. "Get the rest moving, and ask Field Marshall Maine to join us would you, I believe he is on the cruiser RoR Edge."

With that command the rest of IV Corps began moving towards Gillen Naval Base where the 143rd Marine, 52nd Infantry and 24th Mechanized Infantry Divisions would be unloaded and brought into the fight. Once they were clear two more Redge Divisions and three Abrams Divisions would be landing. One from each on beaches the others at the docks.
