OOC- Any one who thinks they own Sri Lanka TG me for discussions,
After 6 months of negociation with the Sri Lankan government and the Argyllian Forgein Ministry has resulted in the purchase of 1,000 acres of land north of Galle to create a Argyllian Military base. Already exsisting on the land is an old disused WW2 airstrip that will be upgraded to support modern jet aircraft. This will complement the Naval and Air Force Base at Manilla in the Phillipines, it will also extend Argyllian influence around the globe. The initial purchase of land is expected to cost around £0.2m per acre (it's alot but the moey is also part of a aid programme), the cost of new port facilities and airstrip ugrades is estimated at around £450 million, the building work is expected to finish in around 5 months.
Argyllian forces to be based at the new base will be
1st Battalion, Scots Guards (rotational duties between the Regiments 3 Battalions)
26th Fighter Squadron, 12th Group (rotational duties between the Groups 5 Squadrons)
