Official Press Release
The United Kingdom, in consultation with its allies in the New Alliance Treaty Organization, has begun initial survey work for the construction of a logistical support base for NATO military operations on Erickson Island. The facility, to be named Fort Hawthorne in honour of Colonel Jonathan Hawthorne, killed in the Battle of Daccat, will be used to house caches of ammunition of select caliber for use by NATO allies should the organization be forced to take action in the vicinity of our isolated archipelago.
Although construction is expected to take approximately nine months for a secured bunker and operating complex, the Department of Arms Procurement will proceed with purchasing additional amounts of ammunition per the ancillary texts within the legislation authorizing this facility’s construction. For the short term this surplus ammunition will be stored at the Breningrad Unified Services Complex in West Oceania.
Intended for storage will be the most commonly used rounds, especially those also in use in the branches of the United Kingdom’s own military. These include, but are not limited to, the new 6.5mm rounds for the new Mk.32 battle-rifle to standard 155mm artillery ammunition to medium caliber naval gun ammunition, in particular the 203mm variety.

IMPERIUM – The Ministry of Defence announced plans to expand the number of bases in the United Kingdom by one today. Fort Hawthorne will be built on Erickson Island and will house a logistics center of operations for NATO military operations in the seas and few land territories near the Home Islands. Named after a former colonel in the Royal Marines, killed in action in the Battle of Daccat, the passing of legislation authorizing the funding for the new facility came amidst heated debate on the floor of Parliament as Conservative Party leader Daniel Collins blasted Prime Minister Alistair Tetley for “subverting the needs and will of the Azazian people to the mere whimsical fantasies of an inept organization of ruthless warmongers.”
Minister of Defence Daniel Blair defended the legislation calling it “crucial to the security of the United Kingdom through both streamlining our own national logistics and those of our allies in NATO should we ever be forced to fight our enemies on our home soil.” Collins, however, quickly retorted that the United Kingdom “had no allies until the Tetley government began thrusting its dirty hands into the internal affairs of foreign nations… [and] the involvement of NATO forces or merely assisting them logistically may very well make us more enemies and place the United Kingdom in greater danger.” Construction on the fort is slated to begin in two months time; and ought to be finished nine months from then.
