Hawker Air Force Base, Arrio, Aequatius Prime
The tarmac was lined with the massive C-181A Starlifter II and C-225B Cossack strategic airlifters of the Aequatian Republic Air Force's Air Mobility Command as the Army and ARAF logisticians worked on the ground to load the equipment and vehicles of the Army's 1 DAGAR onto the aircraft while the soldiers were processed and embarked onto the AMC's C-767A military airliners. The unit was called up for mobilization for a field training exercise in the newly-allied nation of Shtenaya Ledna where they would work together in a number of war games, operating as both Blue and Opposing Forces.
Corporal Daniel Bryan walked in his full combat kit along with the other members of his platoon as they watched their Russkyan-designed and built M24 Valkyrie light tanks loaded into the cargo compartments of two C-225B transports as they themselves marched up to the militarized Boeing 767-200ER and handed their personal weapons and kits to the logistics personnel who loaded them onto the cargo hold of the aircraft. The cavalry troopers then marched up the waiting mobile staircase and were directed to their seats by the Air Force flight attendents in crisp utility uniforms identical to those worn by the Army personnel. Bryan took his seat in the middle section of four seats along with the two crewmembers of his M24 and one of the recce troopers from the troop's scout platoons, in a few hours they would be on the ground at a Lednan airbase and would start the exercises.
Aboard a smaller Army UC-35A executive jetliner already en route to the capital of Shtenaya Ledna was the 1 DAGAR commanding officer, Brigadier Katherine Holtz, and her immediate command staff as they were to be the first to meet with Lednan commanders on the ground and discuss the deployment and billits of the troopers and soldiers of her brigade. In the small bathroom hung her formal uniform, sealed in plastic and to be worn once they were to be on the ground. She worked in the passenger compartment with her staff, all dressed in the combat utilities in the woodland ARDPAT digital pattern, her short platinum-blonde hair tied back in a tidy bun under her brigadier's field cap, denoted by the single black metal star insignia pinned on its material.
