Official Announcement of the United States Department of Defense

As part of the new policies of President Keynes, we will now shift the Allanean Armed Forces to a defensive stance, especially given the increasing aggressive maneuvers of the Doomani Empire. The following defensive institutions will now be created:

Serendis Military District:

To be created in the location of the former Serendis National Park, the SMD will comprise of the following defensive emplacements:

1. A strip of defensive-prepared ground ten-kilometers deep beginning with the Questarian border, fortified with one million ATG-44 anti-tank landmines, ten million Bouncing Betty AP landmines, and two thousand combined kilometers of barbed wire, as well as several hundred thousand 'dragon's teeth' anti-tank barriers. . Passages in the minefields shall be made for highways and peaceful trade. This will be known as Defensive Territory A.
2. Following after Defensive Territory A will be located Defensive Territory B. It will begin by two anti-tank ditches, and then will be followed up by camps and bases for ten infantry divisions, and approximately a thousand varied bunkers in a checkered position for them to fire from. It will be 10 kilometers deep.
3. Defensive Territory C will contain positions for 1000 Dartian made 16-inch gun turrets (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16-50_Mark_7)

Submarine Submarine Anti-Ballistic Task Force:

Under this initiative, our Cadiz (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9062453&postcount=249) class SSBN’s will be rearmed to carry the Universal Standard Anti-Ballistic Missile instead of USABM. While reducing their nuclear firepower, this will give the United States of Allanea the power of 3,300 thermonuclear anti-ballistic rockets on mobile defensive platforms.

Official Announcement of the Department of Defense

While it may seem odd for us to announce this continuation in the switch to a defensive stance, we will continue in this work. As such, we are happy to announce that we have mounted an additional 3,000 USABM rockets in Cloyster Coast Military Camp [CCC for short], and 2,000 in San Nereiana.

Further, as required by the defense needs of CCC, we announce Task Force Cloyster, to be comprised of the following:

1 Argentine class Galleon

USS Klaus Paul De Vere

4 Nimitz class aircraft carriers

USS Balthazar Marduk
USS Dirk Armaude
USS Donner
USS Marcellus Valens

5 Elusive class battleships
20 Arsenal missile cruisers
10 Supply Combat Support Ships
10 Powhatan ocean tugs
10 Supply-K class DKP’s.
20 Pepperbox LSV’s
20 Sachsen class air defense frigates
20 Udaloy class ASW destroyers
10 Osprey class mine hunters

This will boost the defenses of the Cloyster Coast by a mighty 100 ships.

Yet this is not all.

We will arm the Cloyster Coast bases with an array of an additional 1,000 Khan missiles, added to maintain our long-range defensive/offensive capabilities. Additionally, a stockpile of 10,0000 Backflip missiles will be maintained in the Camp. Further, we will order Allanean Arms to supply the military with artillery shells, to create a viable peacetime stockpile as follows:

11,000,000 TIR.11.155 HE Rounds
1,000,000 TIR.217.155 HD Rounds
28,000,000 TIR.76.155 ER DPICM Rounds
10,000,000 TIR.21.155 SADARM Rounds

This comes out to a total of 50 million artillery rounds to be stored in military bases across Allanea.

Official Prestonian Statement

We in the Federal Havenic Republic of Prestonia must question the necessity for such a colossal defensive posture. Although the Doomani are indeed a threat to peace and freedom, we do not at this time have any reason to believe that the Allanea is in danger. In particular, we question the necessity of a modern-day Maginot Line on the Questarian border. Surely Questers, having been beaten soundly in the Seven Day War, is too war-weary at the moment to be a serious threat. We recognize your right to run your military however you please, however we do not in all honesty see the point of such drastic measures.

Respectfully,
Justin M. Gannon
President, Federal Havenic Republic of Prestonia
Vice-Chairman, Prestonian Democratic party
Hero of the Revolution

Official Announcement of the Department of Defense

Our defensive posture is not ‘drastic’. For one, it is coupled with a reduction by 30% of our force of attack helicopters, and a complete abolition of our ICBM stockpile. Overall our maintenance expenditures should be reduced, even.

What we speak of here is not a switch from pacifism of some kind to a defensive posture. We are talking about a switch from an interventionist, aggressive posture, to a defensive one – ABMs instead of offensive missiles, defensive encampments instead of force projection, and so on.

Official Announcement of the Department of Defense

In the meanwhile, we at the Department of Defense announce, with great sadness, the resignation of Alexander Kirillovich Kazansky, the former President of Allanea and Emperor of Greater Prussia, from the post of Field Marshal. He will be replaced in this duty by Field Marshal Peter Gukovsky.

Pyotr Gukovsky is an extremely decorated soldier, having received the Liberty Star, 1st class for his actions during the Antanjyl Conflict. He has also been awarded with the Liberty Star, 2nd class (twice), the Courage Under Fire Medal, the Antanjyl War Badge, Operation Kahanistan Shield Badge, Reich Campaign Badge, Doomani Campaign Badge, Purple Heart (twice), Ultra-Terminator Badge, Seven-Day War Badge, Distinguished Service Badge (thrice).

Furthermore, he has been decorated by several foreign governments, receiving, for example the Patriotic War Service Medal and Red Star medal from the Freekish Government. Alexander Kirillovich Kazansky, the exiting Field Marshal, has received these medals, as well as the Gold Skull medal for bravery in the face of extreme adversity, as well.

Peter Ivanovich Gukovsky will be sworn in next week.

Official Announcement of the Department of Defense

And so our buildup continues. We remain dedicated to the purpose of protecting the United States of Allanea against nuclear, conventional, or any other assault on the life, liberty, and property of its peoples. The following measures of growth will be dedicated solely to these defensive purposes.

1. 1,000 USABM rockets will be mounted in Roanoke Island.
2. 1,000 USABM rockets will be mounted in Northern Haven
3. The following ships will be reassigned to Task Force Cloyster:

15 Elusive class battleships
20 Torrent class Arsenal ships
30 Supply class Combat Support Ships

Reaction from "Our Nation of Defense" antiwar movement within the Grand Unified Federation of Perimeter Defense (unaffiliated with the actual federal government)

While we have never approved of Allanean conduct in wartime conditions or even in minor conflict situations, we approve of the changeover of militaristic stance within the Defensive Territories designated.

To make our point on the latter statement, however, we have mailed a copy of Andersen Lederman's posthumously published oral history, So This Is War? (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=534546), to President Keynes. One will notice that the book is incomplete; this is because Lederman died before the end of the war.

Official Announcement of the Department of Defense

We continue the introduction of USABM rockets in our nation. This time, 3,000 rockets will be deployed, of them 1,000 in the mainlandl, 1,000 on Roanoke Island, and 1,000 in Yurka-City. Further, 10,000 KA-50AL helicopters will be introduced to replace those recently decommissioned.

Official Announcement of the Allanean Department of Defense

The Allanean Armed Forces continue gearing up for a defensive stance, for the protection of the United States, the life, liberty, and property of its people and their allies. As such, we will beef up the amount of Air Force personnel by a cool 200,000 men, to serve in several bases throughout the country.

For one, 11,000 Whippet cargo aircraft will be deployed throughout Allanea. Out of these aircraft, 3,200 will be based in airborne bases in Northern Haven.

A more impotant important development is the founding of the following key military bases:

1. Camp Valens - Named after famed Kahanistani martyr Marcellus Valens, the newest Allanean Air Force base on Atlantic Island will consist of early-warning ABM RADAR and AA RADAR, as well as a small force of 1,000 Supermarine Stork FGR-1 Aircraft.

2. Isabel Paterson Military Camp – Named after the famous writer and thinker Isabel Paterson, the camp will be in fact several small bases in the Aequatian territories of Aequatius Decca. It will house an airborne division, 3,000 Whippet Cargo aircraft, and 5,000 Supermarine Stork aircraft, as well as 100 BE-2500 Ekranoplans.

3. Ayn Rand Military Camp – Named after the famous writer, philosopher and thinker Ayn Rand, the camp will be based in the Illioran Territory of Burning Bay and will house 1,000 Supermarine Stork aircraft.

4. Winston Churchill Military Camp – The name requires no explanation. WCMC will house 1,000 Supermarine Stork aircraft, and will be based in Southern Questers.

5. Ibn Khaldun Military Camp – Named after Abū Zayd ‘Abdu r-Raḥman bin Muḥammad bin Khaldūn al-Ḥaḍramī, the inventor of cultural history, demography, historiography, and the social sciences. The camp is based in Willink, and will be comprised of 2,000 Supermarine FGR-1 stork aircraft, 100 BE-2500 Ekranoplans, 1,000 Whippet Cargo Aircraft and three Airborne Divisions.

6. Princess City Military Camp – The camp, based near Princess City, Vetaka, houses 2,000 Supermarine FGR-1 stork aircraft, 100 BE-2500 Ekranoplans, 1,000 Whippet Cargo Aircraft and three Airborne Divisions. Plans are in the works to add the facilities for a naval base.

That is all. May God Save Allanea.

Official Announcement of the Allanean Department of Defense

Our gear-up to a more defensive stance continues, with additional aircraft distributed among multiple bases today. And thus the following takes shape:

1.Camp Carpanthium – located in Carpanthium, in Cravanian territory, the camp is comparatively small. It will house a contingent of 300 aircraft, of which 250 are Supermarine Sea Fury aircraft, equipped with the new Flying Tux system and fifty are LU-45-AF aircraft. Further, 100 USABM rockets will be mounted there.
2.Camp Memory- Located in Yurka-City, the camp will house 1,750 Supermarine Sea Furies and 250 LU-45-AF.
3.Camp Formosa – a classified military experimental facility, belonging to the Navy, will be built in Northern San-Nereiana, housing 1,000 Sea Furies.
4.Camp Celebrimbror – a small facility in Rosdivan, mirroring the one in Carpanthium.
5.Camp Cyprus – under construction military facility on Cyprus [Nova Europa]
