Southern Ossyrian border
Gen. Rondon Dyeus, Supreme Commander of the Ossyrian Imperial & Royal Armed Forces, received his orders from the Minister of War and Home Defense that the Chamber of Delegates in Urushalim had approved in a 88-13 vote that military action was permissable in acquiring land to provide the nation with access to the Gulf in the south. This had been a hotly debated topic in Ossyrian politics lately, but in the end the Federal President and Prime Minister and even HIRM Emp. Markos IV Orlan had approved the action. Approximately Four hundred thousand (400,000) troops under Gen. Dyeus' command were to launch a suprise attack into unclaimed lands, fighting off indigenous forces in the process and were to set up a fortress-capital at the opposite coast for the new territory.
The enemy consisted mainly of two tribes, the Dagda and Poti, both of which had populations within Ossyrian borders. Criticism against the attack came mostly from these two minority groups who felt this was a violation of the sacrosanctitas of their ancestral homeland. Officially, though, the Chamber of Delegates and the other two houses of Congress said that this was a war of liberation and that the intended goals of the effort was to uplift the natives and bring them into the modern world. Many of the peoples were nomadic and the few major cities they did have were unprotected for the most part. Gen. Dyeus felt this would be an easy victory to help bolster his career and popularity among the people.
The first strike began that morning with missile attacks in the heart of Dagda territory in the east, aiming for their capital city. Aerospace Forces were ordered to make airstrikes against three villages close to the border, Gen. Dyeus' tactic for this fight was to overwhelm a few villages at once, reinforce their position with more troops from home and advance. He felt the backwards tribesmen would not be able to organize a significant resistance to their massive strike and had even hoped that they would be grateful for allowing them in the Union. While this may be true of the Dagda, the Poti in the west were well known for their love of independence. Ossyrian troops were specifically ordered not to enter Poti territory or strike at their warriors. Any Poti caught in skirmishes with the Dagda were ordered to be set free immediately in the hopes that the Poti would not consider the Ossyrians to be aggressive towards them and to keep them off guard.
A small number of Ground Forces were ordered to enter the Dagda lands dressed in traditional Dagda dress, riding on horses and concealing their weapons, to act as scouts. Tanks were to follow with heavy infantry and once the word that the airstrikes were over, enter the three villages and seize control.
((OOC: Elysian nation needed to RP the resistance, also a map will be provided of the area that is being claimed))
