THE DISSOCIATED PRESS, December 23, Year 42, 00:34

The Free Objectivist Republic of Tangled Up In Blue will be raising seven new Army regiments, bringing the total size of The Free Objectivist Republic of Tangled Up In Blue's army to ten regiments, or one brigade. The new regiments will include four regiments of light infantry, two regiments of field artillery, and one armored regiment. Members of these seven regiments will begin training February 1 of next year at the Infantry Training Center. Additionally, The Free Objectivist Republic of Tangled Up In Blue will be building three specialized training centers--Infantry, Artillery, and Armor--for the current three branches of the Army of The Free Objectivist Republic of Tangled Up In Blue; however, this is not expected to be completed until Year 45.

After completing their basic training, the regiments will begin their operational and training deployments at strategic points around the country. Upon completion of the specialized training centers, regiments will be pulled out one at a time to receive their specialized training.

The seven new regiments will be grouped with the existing ten regiments to form the First Infantry Brigade (Light); however, their operational deployments will still be separate until more brigades can be raised.

Printers whirred and computers beeped, as hundreds of pages of print offs came through the system to be analysed by the respective ranks. One such piece of paper came off the printing line and was picked up by bulky looking man wearing Corporal stripes. He read it over, and walked to the Flight Sargeants office. He knocks on the door.

"Just come in, you know I don't care." came the reply. He swings the door open, and there sits a stressed looking man with too much stubble and surrounded by a mountain of paper, coffee mugs and field manuals.

"We just got this." the Corporal says, handing over the paper. "From our agent in Objectivist Paradise. What do you make of it?"

The Flight reads it over a couple of times, before grinning. "Ah, the Ruperts love this kind of thing. Gives them a chance to organise something. You can go back to your work, but bring me anything else like this. Gives us a chance to do something with our shiny new military."

Before long, an Officer up high in the rankings had decided to do something shiny and new. The Gala satellite had been directed to over TUIB, and a small naval flotilla had been despatched. Another agent was ready for a trip to TUIB, and was packing his bags at that moment.

If there were any plans for these new brigades that no-one knew about, Gala would be the first to find out.
