JERUSALEM- In an announcement from the DoD, IDF Armed forces are being called up for excercises in the Negev and Sinai regions of Israel. Approximately 2 million ground forces and logistical supply troops will be participating. Over 1,000 aircraft and hundreds of ships will be participating. The idea of the excercise is to simulate two simultaneous invasions, one from the Northwest out of the Med and another from the South out of the Red Sea. The wargame will be the largest in IDF history and is meant to simulate what military planners see as the most likely future war.

While it hasn't been officially released, there is speculation that paratroopers and additional ground troops will an invasion from Jordan and others will simulate an invasion from Syria into the Golan Heights. Secretary of Defense Jerry Angelo said this, "Israel hasn't been invaded since 1973. Our troops must be prepared for a situation worse than 73. If you recall, we almost lost. Our troops' experience is what saved us then. Our troops need that experience today. This excercise will help them get that experience."

Official Statement from The Proletariat Commonwealth of The Island of Rose:

The Proletariat Commonwealth and The New Roman Empire will defend IDF no matter what. We will aid you in case an invasion occurs. For now, good luck on your war games.

MESSAGE TO ALL WHO WANT TO HELP:

We thank you for your wish to aid us in the wargame. We are going to have our own troops going against each other in this war game. The idea is that our Commanders can control both sides most effectively this way. It also is meant to allow some of our troops to train in both invasions and defense. It will also be a morale booster for our men. We thank you for your interest, but must decline the aid.
