Snippet from Kabaheen Newspaper

Translation:
King Imam Mahir has announced today that a major overhaul will soon take place in the Kabaheen military. Military strength is expected to increase threefold over the next six months, including a near doubling of active service personnel, as well as a quadroupling of militia men within the country. To meet these demands, immediate conscription is taking place, as well as a new law stating that all males must serve at least four years in the military after the age of 18, but beginning before the age of 30. Arms production is to increase at a proportional rate.......

The honored King Mahir has announced today the reestablishment of numerous outposts on Kabaheen borders. These outposts, left unmanned for decades, are now to be called back into service, to be manned by many of the new conscripts.

To prepare these men for their new duty, a number of training camps have sprung up throughout the country, three in the capitol city alone. Sarsaresh has truly become the heart of the country as it was meant to be, hundreds making their way here to be trained in the art of war.

Kabaheen News Network

The high officials of the Kabaheen government have announced today that there are plans in the works for at least three major arms facilities to be built in the next several weeks. Many in the government have gone so far as to suggest that those drafted over the past month will be put to work in the construction of said facilities. This appears likely, as Prince Habashir has suggested a completion date of less than a month. Not only will these manufacturing plants provide hundreds of soldiers with armaments, it is likely to provide hundreds of jobs to the disenfranchised.

Kabaheen Press Release

The training course is said to take place over roughly three months, will further training and testing every few weeks following. This is but one more step King Mahir has taken to protect his people.
