Today the government of the Most Serene Republic of the Volga announced the formation of new, advanced, fast response army brigade. It is heavily mechanised, with over 900 vehicles in it. The brigade is to be equipped with an enlargened wing of C-71 Progeny heavy transport planes to move it speedily from site to site. This brigade will be able to handle anything it come against - it has artillery, tanks, everything. We now cross to the Deputy Defence Minister, General Karl Klingerman.

"The new brigade is our answer to the growth of terrorist cells around the world. With its ability to handle any opponent, and the ease with which we can send it around the world, it is our first choice to respond to any crisis. With our ongoing war with Transnapastain, and our interference in the Aust civil war, this brigade will be our main way to respond to any other crisis, as we already have sent too many forces overseas, and are considering withdrawing some."
