Title: Operation Winter Shield
Post by: Union on October 21, 2007, 04:48:33 AM
   The seat of the Delfian A380 creaked as Lieutenant Wilshan shifted around in it. He wasn't use to sitting still on his butt, especially not on a ten hour flight where the only entertainment was a shitty Delfian drama playing on the main screen. The in-flight meal wasn't really appetizing either. It was a badly seasoned fish fillet that was dry and bland. The orange juice he got tasted stale and expired. He even saw a private puke in the middle of his meal when he took a sip of a more-stale-then-usual OJ. Heaven help the guy, he could be getting botulism right about now.

   On each side of Lt. Wilshan were two young privates from his unit. The one on his right was occupied with a field manual, while the one on his left was fast asleep. Lt. Wilshan checked the later for air intake, lest he died from food poisoning from his meal. He was still breathing, probably just sleeping off the horrid food.

  A flight attendant brushes pass the sleeping private, carrying a tray of what appeared to be a bottle of champagne and a few glasses. For the high officers perhaps? Lt. Wilshan bends over the sleeping private to get a better look. He watches the flight attendant walk past the first class seats, stopping only at the front end of the plane, where the door to the cockpit was.

Huh?

Panic strikes. The flight attendant opens the door to the cockpit and waltzes in with the alcoholic beverage.

Oh shit...please don't tell me that's for the pilots...

The long flight continues...

The modified container ships were slowly leaving the harbor at Halifax. An escort of destroyers and frigates was waiting for them to arrive. Sergeant Ross was watching as the ships slid out and out to open sea. Ross looked back at his home. He was a veteran of the Inglish Columbian Front before being transfered to Halifax to go to New Delfos. they would arrive in three days. Ross walked around the ship and was suprised. The entire Second Imperial Corps was able to take up all these ships? Wow! He took a picture out of his uniform pocket. She didn't want me to go. I glad that she was able to understand that I wasn't going to war, I was just going away for a few months. He pocketed it and looked around. The black uniformed sailers were all doing their jobs or on their time off talking to the red-uniformed soldiers. He smiled. "Hey, who wants to get a game of hockey going?" If this trip was going to be for a while, meant as well have some fun.

After some time, a flight attendant walks by the bottom floor, most of the men were sleeping, but found Lt. Wilshan awake, after saying some words to fellow comrade in arms that made him leave his seat, the girl walked quietly towards Wilshan.
fa: "I was about to announce meal time for the front rows, but seems they are all sleeping, would you like to have your meal upstairs in the bar?"

Up and down, up and down, up and down... A major storm was approaching, the waters off the coast of Rabarac were extremely choppy. Soldiers were blowing chunks left and right. Minoa II and Trikoupis I were fairing well, but they still felt like shit. Not from the waves or shitty rations, but from the secrecy surrounding whatever it is that they're supposed to be doing. Ten Collosean Ivan Rogov-class transport  ships hauling a load of 6,000 total heading to Delfos on an operation dubbed "Operation Winter Shield."

This was not all however. News of the new Air Assault Division of the Collosean Air Force came to light, as well as eight transport aircraft being bought by Loyan, three of which were due to arrive in Collosea in the next few days.

Minoa II and Trikoupis I were sitting in the narrow hallway outside of their bunks. The smell from someone's puke had gotten too strong for them.

"You think this is just the tip of the ice berg, Trik?" Minoa asked Trikoupis curiously.

"Has to be, their being too secretive about why they bought those planes and everything." Trikoupis frowned. "On top of that, Monimos Lochias Konstantinos VI has taken charge of the operation. If he's leading, it must be important.  One would think it would be important enough to require more than 6,000 troops..."

"Oh yeah, he was one of the top commanders of CAF during the civil war, wasn't he? He..."

Minoa II was cut off by an scrawny officer that had just rounded the corner. "What are you two doing out here? You're supposed to be in your bunks!"

Minoa and Trikoupis took their sweet time getting up and going back into their bunks, muttering swears under their breath the entire way.

"Well look on the bright side Trik, we're almost there..."

"Thank God..."

<ooc>You're supposed to be in bed!

Anyway, got a name for the port I should be setting sail for?

And on a side note, Monimos Lochias is an army rank equivalent to some kind of general. And of course Konstantinos VI isn't taking control of Winter Shield as a whole, but my guys don't know that.</ooc>

Isn't it ironic, Angel thought to herself, That none of the surviving members of Soldier X actually have Cantrian skin color?  Angel's skin was European, though a bit on the dark side for that, her eyes were blue, and her hair was very light, close to platinum blonde, and very short, despite Angel's wishes to grow it out.  Long hair was a liability in battle.  Tempest, sitting to her right by the window of the plane, was the closest to Cantrian skin complexion, but his skin was rougher, from the Cantrian Islands' Adriannic desert.  His hair was also dark and his eyes were brown.  Tempests outlook on life was always pessimistic, and since losing Ember, Soldier X didn't have anyone light-hearted enough to make up for it.  In fact, Soldier X was notably grim these days.  There was no more Ember, making jokes and complaining about fate, no more Savid, reminding Soldier X that there was more to life than the warfare they were born for, no more Prefect, whose confidence had sustained them all through the grim days of the Cantr Wars until the very end, when he'd been killed in Operation Armageddon, which had finally ended eleven years of civil war.  The only ones left were Tempest, the pessimist, Angel, tormented nightly by her nightmares of the wars, and Seth...
Seth, on the outside, was a complete stoic.  You could catch flashes of emotion, but he never seemed to really be a person so much as a cleverly disguised android to anyone but Angel, who knew that, underneath it all, he was just as human, perhaps more human, than any of them.  Seth's skin was extremely dark, his hair extremely short, and his body looked like he could rip through his clothes, kevlar body armor and all, just by twitching.  Seth never did anything halfway.  He either did it better than anyone had ever done it before, or else he didn't do it at all.
"So much for peace." Angel said as the plane took off from the strip.  She was looking out the window at Cantr City, her adopted hometown.  She had liked it there, when she wasn't capturing it or defending it or trying to enjoy her last hour there before being transferred to a different front like a prisoner trying to enjoy his last meal before the execution.
"We're not headed for a war," Tempest said, "We're just going to act as a buffer."
Angel looked at him incredulously.  Was Tempest really saying that?  "Tempest, you do not send Soldier X to go act as a buffer.  Daichi is doing something other than what he told IPO he's doing.  I don't know if he plans to take IPO in the back or if he plans to do something nasty to our allies or what, but he's planning something, and it definitely has nothing to do with keeping the peace."
"Come on, Angel," Tempest responded, "You heard Daichi speak.  You said yourself that he cared about his people.  Why would he send us to go start another war so soon after finishing the last?"
"We're not being sent to start a war, I don't think.  We're being sent to end the war." Angel said.
"In whose favor?" Tempest said.
"Whoever will benefit Cantr the most." Angel said.
"You honestly believe that Daichi would risk the lives of Soldier X fighting in some foreign war after two thirds of us already got killed in Cantr?"
"Where did Sigourney die?  Jentai Base?  Cantr City?  Ft. Shortinazy?  No, she died in Drakonat.  It wasn't even our country, and Daichi wasted Sigourney's and Chris' life on it."
"The Drakonat people are Cantrians!" Tempest protested.
"They had their own government, they were okay with it, and they were stable.  Daichi had no right to go war-mongering in there just because Kathria asked him too."
"Drakonat's system would have failed eventually."
"Kathria is just like Drakonat, except it's evil."
"Drakonat was evil.  It just wasn't obvious.  Yet."
"So we used the Devil to expel Beelzebub.  I thought we could solve this just by fighting also.  I was wrong.  I thought this would all be over when Daemon was gone."
"And I'm still kicking myself for letting you kill him before I could."  Angel fell silent.  Tempest hadn't even made a relevant point.  But Angel had spent the past four months dying a thousand deaths in her sleep.  Every night Daemon, or one of the thousand other people she'd killed, came for their revenge.  You want the nightmares, Tempest?  You can have them!  I killed Daemon, killed everyone, because I thought it would give me peace...now I'm headed to another war and it's not even in my country.
The silence dragged on a few seconds before Seth spoke.  "We can't afford to let anything slip about our mission to the soldiers.  There's too many of them to trust."

They were silent the rest of the day.

The soldiers aboard the plane were either sleeping, reading or looking out the window.
Some discussed what was going on, also the men were used of not knowing were to go.
It was all part of their training.
Usually someone would tell them before the operation started.
5 minutes at the latest.
The man at the rear of the cargo hold watched the other men in silence.


The two cargo ships were rushing trough the water.
Captain Xoyotla looked at the chart.
„We are right on course sir“ the young navigator said.
The Captain nodded and looked out of the window again.
This wasn't his first time on that route. He had run it for several years now but never with such an unusual cargo.
The deck was filled with military vehicles and soldiers were running around like ants ever busy with one thing or another.


Lieutenant Ayatl looked over the deck of the passenger ship.
„And up you GO. Don't fall asleep you lazy pigs“ a Sergeant shouted while forcing his men trough another series of push up's.
Over at the swimming pool some soldiers were getting a different kind of „pool party“.
They jumped in with full gear and and uniforms and started to Wade trough the water.
Like they had trained so many times they instinctively held their weapons over their heads to keep them from getting wet.
Also this wasn't a troop transport the men  did not get a luxury cruise either.
Their imaginative officers had found ways to use the on board facilities for training.
It was almost a week on sea and in no way would they allow their troops to slack off.
„If you drown during my training soldier I will resurrect you and kill you with my own hands“ another Sergeant over at the pool yelled as one of his men lost footing and went under.

ooc: Glad to see everyone's excited about this  :)

"Sorry, I have orders to remain near my seating area for the remainder of the flight. Now, you said there was a phone call from my wife?"

 The flight attendant led the Lieutenant to a phone station at the back of the plane. After he made sure the flight attendant was out of ear shot, he spoke into the handset.

"Carly, how the hell did you get this number?"

"I made Ali tell me, mind telling me where you are right now?"

"On a plane..."

"They said you were training in the MPA! Then Ali hinted me that your unit was dispatched to BIA airport! How come you didn't tell me?"

"I didn't have time...they called us in during the training seminar...look honey, I'll be back in a few months."

"Don't lie to me, Ali told me this was a volunteer mission. Tell me now, where are you going..."

"Sorry baby, can't say. I need to go now..."

"Fong~!"

 Lt. Wilshan hanged up the handset. The feeling of guilt began to sprout in his stomach. It was true, he did volunteer for the mission. His commander issued the optional assignment a few days back, and he signed up without a second thought. There was nothing to justify that rash decision. Perhaps it was the blood of his father, or simply a rush of an idle soldier. Whatever it was, his decision carried heavy consequences. Leaving a pregnant wife and a son at home was not a good start to his 30s...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The A380 made a rough landing on the runway, rattling both seat and passenger. Lt. Wilshan breathed a sign of relief when the aircraft slowed to a safe speed. The huge plane made its way across the taxiway, then parked itself along a array of refueling probes and luggage machinery. As he stepped off the plane, the co-pilot waves a good bye and smiles at him. Wilshan couldn't help but notice that he was a bit pink in the cheeks.

This is the last time I'm taking TAD airlines...

Delfingrado International Airport was very busy in that day, allot of taxi-cars, helicopters and planes taking off and landing. Total Chaos, but in the chaos, few big trucks saying NDRA and waving the flag of New Delfos arrived near the A380 Gates.

NDRA Major Costa: "Ah Welcome to New Delfos, here's a bus to take us to the Delfingrado CGV Railway Station. Unfortunately your superiors booked a reserved CGV train for 6pm, it's 10am now, so what do you say to a guided tour trough our Capital and Lunch at the greatest restaurant?"

*In the Northern Coast of New Delfos*
The Land Support Fleet was in full force near Sharjah, one or other missiles were fired to the land, although hey had orders to seize any shootings. NDS Satre I rushed north to meet the Collosean ships and escort them to Sbbasburg docks.

The Collosean ships had landed in Sbbasburg, New Delfos and were beginning to disembark.

Monimos Lochias (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4d/GR-Army-OR6.gif/75px-GR-Army-OR6.gif) Konstantinos VI had went ahead to find a Delfian officer that could tell him where he and his men would need to go next. As he walked along the docks, he mused over the details of the operation, or atleast what he knew about it so far.

He was getting both good and bad vibes about Winter Shield... He knew if any fighting was to occur, the citizens back home probably wouldn't take it well. It wouldn't be Collosea's war after all... But as for Konstantinos, he was all for participating in the operation. Whether there would be fighting or not, it would be good experience for a military that has never set foot over seas before.

up ahead he saw a Delfian officer heading his way.

Lieutenant Dorvic approached a Collesean officer: "Hey, are you Konstantinos? There's an old railway in the southern part of this docks, wagons are waiting to take you directly to Plorisk in the country-side."

Oh the battlecry of the great wise man,
rally up the young boys of the land,
marching side by side in lines of five,
with gun and bayonet on our side!

Through the smoke and fire of Je'lan Plain,
our fearsome foe come like the wind,
balls of molten lead fly over our heads,
and before you know it we are all dead!

>>> (http://www.mediafire.com/?d93e9w3xmz4)

The Loyanese soldiers sang in rhythm as they marched along in straight order a Delfian country road. Now that they were out of the city, they felt a little bit more relax in the fertile countryside.

When offered to ride the famous CGV rails, the High Marshal turned down the offer and said "We'll walk instead...".

The mission had interrupted their heavy field training back in Loyan, so here was the chance to make up for lost time. Before they left, the commanders had Delfian road maps loaded into their GPS for the training march to the IPOP assembly ground. They were to march the distance of several hundred kilometres on foot. The march was mandatory for all personnel, including senior officers. None of them will be slacking off for this operation.

The standard force march training requires each personnel to carry a 20kg load, usually made up of their standard gear pack and rifle. But their stuff was still onboard the LAA's IL-76 air transports, not to arrive until next week. Instead, each soldier was given 200 delfs and told to buy up the weight in items of their choice. Anyone who's purchase did not meet up to the require weight, will receive a no bullshit dishonored discharge on the spot. Needless to say, everyone made sure to meet up or exceeded the 20 kg weight.

Training in the Loyanese Ground Forces is strenuous and thorough, regardless of your rank or role. Each man is stress to the limit of his abilities, then over it. Some say it isn't worth the initial $35,000 salary, but that's a civilian's perspective. In the Loyanese Army, you have to born a soldier. That's the shit that separates a selective service army from a volunteer army.

For Lt. Wilshan and his men, the one week march to cover 496 km was just another day on the job.

Two trucks on the horizon came to attention to the rear group of the Loyan march. The dirty road through the country-side was awful, and you could tell that 2 hours ago a flock of sheep had just passed. The trucks started beeping from distance, Lt. Wilshan turned his head to see if they wanted anything and distinguished the White Heart logo.

Doctor Lovinic: "Good morning Lieutenant, NDRA said it would be a good idea to watch you guys along the march. I hope there's no problem, yet. Do you all have enough water? You must drink allot, this season is sunny around here."

Lt. Wilshan stepped out from formation.

"Sir I will not have you interrupt a LGF training march. I have to ask you to leave. And if you don't, I will report you to the Delfian authorities."

Lt. Wilshan was joined by another lieutenant.

"Gentlemen, I will need to ask you to move along. Our refreshment vehicles need a clear road ahead for us to resupply our troops with water. Please move along."

Wilshan added, "You heard the man, we already have water. Uh, now look! I have to run to back to my unit because of you. Thanks a lot dickshit!"

As Wilshan jogged off to get back in formation, he heard his fellow colleague apologize to the White Heart driver.

"What was that about Lieutenant?" a private asked.

"A couple of Dellies blocking the road, complete dick wads."

"You don't say? Haha."

"How you feeling kid? this march getting to you?"

"Don't worry about me Lieutenant, I'm young and restless....you're the one getting old and brittle..." the private replies.

"One more word, and I'll break your cheer leading baton in half..."

"Oh! Burn Miyo!" another private blurts out.

The march continues on till night fall. At the end of it, the Loyanese set up camp along the side of the road. They would had prefer a wide open field, but they doubt any sane farmer in his right mind will lease out his field in the middle of growing season.

The endless row of sleeping bags formed a line stretching 5 kilometres along the country road. Officers unloaded portable lamps from contracted trucks and set them along to outer edge of the emergency lane, to warn any passing cars that there were men sleeping on the side. If one looks off in the distance, you can see the glow of a hundred lamps form a long white dotted line across the edge of the road.

Delfian roads were well made, so the Loyanese had the joy of sleeping on dry flat tarmac that night. As the men slept, officers attempt to find lodging for their troops for the next coming days. As usual, they were the last to sleep.

Konstantinos VI began heading back to the docks. Along the way, he continued to muse over the operation. He was thinking about how the troops would position themselves. Each nation could be given zones to protect, but the forces would be distributed unevenly. Collosea had brought very few vehicles with them, so either other nations would have to lend them to us or distribute each nation's forces more evenly. But then the language and cultural barrier comes into effect, hampering communcation, and preventing the force to operate cohesively.

Thankfully, that's one of the reasons everyone is coming to Delfos. To train on how to work together and fight as one and to determine how the soldiers will be deployed. But needless to say, there were now more bad vibes than good ones.

Konstantinos came to the three regiment commanders who were waiting for him to return. "So where are we to go?" One of them asked Konstantinos.

"South to the railroad station. That will take us to Plorisk. Move everyone down there and begin boarding the train." he answered. The commanders marched off to the men. Konstantinos flagged a CUCV and rode it down to the train station.





Their breath of fresh air was a much needed one, but only if they could have gotten more of it. Immediately after disembarking the cramped transports, they were immediately packed into an even more cramped train.

"Well isn't this a load of bullshit..." Minoa II remarked. "It's about as bad in here as it was in the ship."

A deep voice came from the booth directly behind Minoa."Would you cut the shit already? It's not helping." It said.

Minoa's face turned red with anger. He recognized the voice; it was Pyrros V. Minoa and Pyros knew each other since their freshman year in high school, but they have never exactly been on good terms. "If you've got something to say to me, Pyrros, say it to my face!"

"Cool it bud," Trikoupis interjected. "Save it for the enemy."

"Do you even know who we're fighting?" asked Yannis IX, Pyrros's fire team partner. "Do you even know if we're going to be fighting anyone?"

"Yeah, they haven't told us shit..." answered Trikoupis disappointingly. "For all any of us knew, this is just an elaborate training exercise."

The train passed a barbed wire fence and began to slow down. Soon they could see a few large wooden buildings against a stark country side and the fatigues of other soldiers. "Is this some kind of military base?" Minoa asked as the train came to a halt.

"Of course it is, why else would all of these soldiers be here?" Pyrro said in a smart-assed way as if it had been obvious.

Minoa felt the heat rise in him. "Ignore him" Trikoupis whispered to him, though not really caring if anyone else heard it.

A voice came over the loud speaker. "All soldiers are to disembark the train immediately. Your platoon leader will tell you where to go after getting off. Welcome to Plorisk, men."
Title: Re: Operation Winter Shield
Post by: Delfos on October 22, 2007, 04:20:37 AM
There was a small wooden level where some high ranked delfians stepped in.
"Hello everyone. You are the first IPOP to arrive here. Welcome to New Delfos, welcome to Plorisk"
*A deadly silence was in the air, only birds and wind could be heard.*
"I know what you are thinking, you came all the way from your homes, put into old cans heading here, to find what Plorisk is, and then you meet this shit-hole."
*Some laughter*
"Well, this is your shit-hole, and you will have to live with it for the next few months. The idea...and the lack of budget, is that we raise our own camps, helping building the rest of the central camp, with wooden barracks. This isn't work, this is exercise! You need to feel responsible for the land your are stepping on. But don't worry, we won't start today. Allot of other troops are coming, I heard the Loyan are marching here from the Capital, that's nearly 500 kilometers, aren't they crasy? But they are fit! And you will watch them arrive and nurse them if necessary!
Now to business: Our volunteers already started unloading your stuff from the train, direct all officers to those Barracks over there to discuss where we need your men, and before going issue them an order to unload everything from the train. There's supplies on the back of the train as well. Understood? Alright lets start."

The train got empty in minutes. The officers came from the assembly in the barracks and transmitted the orders:
"Everyone, listen up. We will use our own vehicles and this few trucks they supplied us to move all Weapon crates to that lock-up. All rations to those barracks up there and all the rest in those near the forest. After that we need to get every vehicle under those camouflaged roofs."
"What about our stuff? When will we rest?" said one in the ranks.
"They said not to worry, leave your stuff in the ground."
"You mean in the dirt?"
"Whatever, just do it."

A Delfian high ranked officer walked near the group:
"All officers to the assembling barracks after completing this task, alright?"

The old train whistled good bye and parted. The Delfian officers were worried with the morale.
"They are volunteers, they are supposed to take anything, we had to take it, didn't we?"
"Well yes, but look at them, they came south by ship, i bet it wasn't that big and comfy...and then those awful old trains and that awful old railway, i bet they couldn't sleep with all the bumps."
"True, but it's good, a test of honor to what they volunteered for. And they don't need to sleep, they practically have the same Time Zone that we do."
"Can be, but it's colder..."
"Colder today! Well, they say rain is expected tomorrow, hahaha, want better test than the mother nature ones? Oh poor Loyan guys, They will be near Navirsk when the rain comes."
"Oh well, Glad we asked the White Heart to come here and to assist the marching Loyan. When will our other half come?"
"I don't know for sure, they are marching too but from Kujsk, they came in CGV from Portimão...they were supposed to come in railway, but the responsible officers heard about the Loyan and thought it was a good idea."
"Fine, let me check if the Collosies already finished the task."

The ships filled the docks in the harbor in New Delfos. Lieutenant General Richards was leaving his ship. He was dressed in the new Prussian blue of the Canadian Army. The enlisted men still were waiting to recieve their blue uniforms, but right now they were dressed in their red uniforms. Only officers were dressed in Prussian blue. He was followed by all the men of his staff. General Richards went to the intercome to address his men. "Alright men, this is Lieutenent General Thomas Richards. I have an important announcement. We have arrived in New Delfos and unfortunatly, we will npt be taking the trains because they don't have enough to carry the Second Imperial Troopers Corps to Plorisk. We must march there. The infantry will go ahead in trucks that we have provided, followed by the cavalry. This is alot of equipment so we must arrive in tip top shape. So ready yourselves. We leave in one hour. The Loyanese army is ahead of us. they are marching while we came prepared. So let's see if we can catch up with them, shall we?"

The Canadian Army disembarked from their ships and prepared to leave. General Richards watched as his staff preapred a truck just for the command group. The Corps was ready in less than an hour. He smiled. They would do grand. "Alright, let's move out." The mass of Canadian soldiers moved out and headed to Polrisk.

 "tell me again how we convinced Jihn to let us use his cruise ship?" said one younger woman to a middle aged man.

 "well really it was all about persuading him that his assistance would help to keep blood from the  roots of the Avana'ash. this operation is very important and we just needed to make him understand that."

 "makes for a rather comfortable trip though dousn't it? so how much longer do we have?"

 "well according to the captain it'll only be another week before we make it to port. light bless him, he is a fine man."

 "indeed it was good that we got as many people as we did to sign up for this."

 " yea i would say so, not many Bohemians can stomach being part of anything to do with the ,military but i guess thats why the numbers are so low compared to what the other countries are sending."

<ooc>Ummm Delfos... I don't know if you know this or not, but my 6,000 soldiers aren't volunteers. Well, that is unless you count signing up for the army as volunteering. Either way, you certainly didn't help the morale problem any ;)

Dude, seriously... Between this and Tandem, my military looks like a black hole that sucks morale out of the soldiers or something. :P

Also, my guys didn't know that they were going to be part of an IPOP force either.</ooc>



Minoa and Trikoupis were in about the middle of the pack. That's probably the best place to be. The weather here was the opposite of what Colloseans are used to; here it's dry and cold, in Collosea it's generally humid and warm.

Quote from: Delfian Officer
"Hello everyone. You are the first IPOP to arrive here. Welcome to...
"IPOP?" Minoa queried quietly.

"International Peace Organization Peacekeepers." Trikoupis answered.

"Oh."

Quote from: Delfian Officer
"Our volunteers already started unloading your stuff from the train..."
"Their volunteers? Do you think he means..."

"Not necessarily" Trikoupis could already tell where Minoa was about to go. "He just said 'volunteers.' Maybe he means some of the Delfian soldiers volunteered to help unload the train."


After the speech, Minoa and Trikoupis immediately went to work loading crates onto CUCV's and driving them to the barracks. There would be no rest for the weary, that's for sure.

While this was going on, Konstantinos was already at the assembly barracks waiting for everyone else to arrive.

The massive C-17 touched down on the runway of the Delfian airport.
The plane slowed down and rolled of the tarmac following a car to it’s Parking position.
Clamshell doors opened and a ramp was lowered to the ground. A man in uniform stepped out.
“Fall out and line up” he yelled back at the cavernous hold of the plane.
Over a hundred soldiers followed his command and within 3 minutes the aircraft was empty. The men formed a formation on the tarmac.
“Fall in marching order” the officer said with a booming voice. Then – while his men shuffled into position - he turned around to look for a Delfian officer in charge.

As he found one man in uniform he walked up to him and saluted.
“Captain Sokal. 1st Company 1st Parachute Regiment. Terrangar. Reporting” he said. “I request information about our designation.”

Angel surveyed the camp.  It reminded her of the camp where she'd received her training in the woods near Sjoftich.  Angel had heard that the Loyanese soldiers would be marching to the camp, and the Canadians would be moving to the camp as a mechanized infantry column, thus dispelling any hope Angel had had of making this a covert operation.  I suppose, technically, it never was a covert operation officially, but given that there's only so many warzones in the world and only one of them would draw this kind of attention from the IPO.  Of course, we could try and convince everyone that this is a training operation and, like Tempest said, I don't have any proof that this isn't a training operation.  But I don't think Daichi would send off all three Soldiers X and the Juggernaut Battallion for a training operation, not with the warlords on the Pirate Isles making threats.  Are we running this operation under the assumption that the target nation knows what we're doing, or under the assumption that the target nation is stupid?

ooc: this is getting out of hand, alright, don't bring military airplanes to my capital for Christ sake, make a plan with me and i will tell you where to land. Another thing is the personnel. 6 thousand max! I got 4 thousand on my own. Why do you want to bring 6 thousand all together? Vehicles are fine, but artillery? Armored vehicles only please, no tanks, no artillery, no fighter-jets, no ultra-mech-military-robots. Excepting Pachaman that already landed and have to make the same way the Loyan should have done, get a booked CGV line to Sbbasburg and get the same old railway to Plorisk. I'll make a quick map soon. The Loyan only landed in my capital because is the only southern airport with capacity for the A380. Any other plane land in Sbbasburg, or if it's military, land in Kujsk. Plorisk is a deep country side, besides some farms and ranches some kilometers away from Plorisk, Plorisk is just a landmark, a big hill with a natural fountain.
This is a Peace Force, not an invasion force! Keep it cool.
Our forces are a bunch of volunteers, i thought they were supposed to be, but i guess it's fine to have professionals.

OOC: Sorry about the hiatus.
I forgot to tell you I wanted to land in Sbbasburg. Besides these are only 110 men of the first company.
If you permit I will land with the other C-17 at a military base of yours.
It will take another week for the ground troops (6,588 men) and their equipment.
These will be  6 Fuchs APC and 12 Fennek recon vehicles.
That is all I can handle at the moment with the meager transport capacity's I have.
My men are volunteers, but they are also professionals.

ooc: Jumping on ahead

Day 5 of March

Lt. Wilshan was leading his unit today at front, while the commander was at the rear checking up on the laggers. The sky was a blanket of gray clouds, dispelling the sunlight and setting in a breezy cool.

"Nice weather today, aye boys?" he remarks as he checks his GPS.

"Very, better than yesterday's blazing sun!" said a private behind him.

"So Lieutenant? What news on the rest of our boys and stuff? D and E Division should be off the planes today right? Are they marching too?"

"No, they get the disgrace of riding on the CGV..."

Privates broke into laughter.

"Our gear should be arriving with the freight planes, so you'll all get your stuff once we get to the assembly ground." Lt. Wilshan continued.

"So I can drop this 40 pound weight worth of wrenches once we get there?"

"Yes, and trade it for 42 pounds of ammo and rations!" the lieutenant replied. Laughter once again.

"Huh? Sir, I think it's raining." Sure enough, water droplets began to fall from the sky, hitting men and pavement.

"Alright boys, you know the drill!" The entire formation stopped, and officer order their men to put on the waterproof jacket hanging from a strap on their field backpack. Once everyone had their rain hood over their head, the formation continue their never-ending march through the pouring rain.

Back home, they would had did the march half naked in the rain to keep their clothes dry and their body cool. But, Loyan was a hell lot warmer than Delfos, and the Loyanese weren't use to this cooler climate. Twenty years ago, most of them would had went to Saletsia for "cold-training"; but since relations died with that country, that opportunity to build resistance was gone. No doubt they will fare the worst fin the cold of Canada, even with their tough physique and training.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Flight LY2 to Delta Fox, Flight LY2 flying over your position..."

Three IL-76s, the old workhorses of the LAA, flying over the assembly ground. A few minutes pass before the local air control keys them in and permits them to drop their load. The bay doors open, and the cargo of IMP-1s and weapons are dropped off into the air. Moments later, the envelope of parachutes flare up and the cargo floats gently down onto the spot, guided by their GPS parachute systems. Afterward, ten DI agents jump from the same planes and land roughly near the cargo that they were in charge of protecting until the army boys arrive.

The Delfian officer told the Captain that a transport by train had been arranged and that he should take his men there.
he showed them the boarding station on a map.
“Understood. Thank you” the Captain said turning toward his men and ordered them  “Move out. In marching order”
Without a word the soldiers started to march behind their officer towards the exit gate of the airport at Kjusk.
The Terrangan soldiers saluted as they marched by the Delfian officer.
As soon as they had left the facility the Captain yelled “Fall in fast march”.
The soldiers began to run with a trotting motion until they reached the station.
There another officer greeted them and helped them board.

Thomas was at the front of the army as they moved up the roads. The rain came down heavy, but his men had come prepared and put on their raincoats and continued on. The men in the trucks were ok and stayed warm, but the cavalrymen had to deal with the rain. They didn't complain though. The driver looked back at the general. "Sir, we have people on the roads just ahead of us."

"Tell them to get out of the way, we are here to do something important, not yell at civilians."

"Sir, they aren't civilians."

"What?"

"Look, sir."

The trucks stopped and General Richards jumped out of the truck and looked in front of him. He smiled. "Hey men, we did catch up with the Loyanese!" The men cheered. In front of them were the Loyanese who had been marching for hundreds of kilomenters. These are soldiers. The Loyanese looked at the Canadian soldiers getting out of trucks to look at their comrades, and the cavalry who looked from the backs of their horses. General Richards walked up and yalled out. "Who is in charge here? I am Lieutenant General Thomas Richards of the Greater Canadian Empire. I need to speak to the commander in charge."

Plorisk camp was getting filled. Thousands of tents were already opened, and Collosean troops were working hard.
"The train is arriving."
"Who's coming?"
"More supplies and Terrangar guys."
"Alright, let me remember the usual speech."
"Try not to shock them."

The train arrived half a minute later. Allot of troops were coming out. The Delfian officer welcomed them in their manner and told the shit-hole story.
"Now, terrangarian officers, tell your men to unload the train and get ready for the exercises."

--------

"YOU BASTARDS!" , Delfian troops were simulating a violent protest against the Collosean Peace Forces.
Collosean officer: "Men! Remember what we have learned, no shooting, no gas, no nothing, just don't let them break the defensive perimeter."
Rocks came from the skies.
"Rocks, watch up!" Many of them ran to the back of the NDRA APC.
"Men, they turned to be aggressive, lets intimidate them!"
The troopers got in the line again and shielded themselves.
BANG BANG BANG, some shots to the air.
"Get that guy, he's the one with the rocks!"
They ran to the delfian with the rocks and jumped on him. Brought him arrested to the APC while trying to disperse the rest.
"Alright, lets move forward."
The APC followed the collosean lead that marched towards the crowd, it was dispersed in few minutes. Captain Ramahejad arrived in a NDRA jeep and saluted the Collosean officer.
"Well done, now you will have to remain here for Defense. Alright? Don't let any armed forces pass, blockade every access. It is imperative that they do not cross this North-South line, here in the map. Understood?"
"Yes sir. How much time do we have to hold it?"
"I don't know for sure, but you will have to face an invasion attempt from the north, remember, no shooting unless they shoot at you. You are responsible for this area here, you don't have to cross this area, just make sure no northern armed force tries to cross to south."
"Alright."
"Oh, here's some supplies, I'm taking this arrested man to justice..." The delfian troops unloaded a truck to the ground and got themselves into the truck again. "Well, see you, take care of this area, it is vital!"
...and left...

Captain Skoal greeted the delfian officer.
Then he turned towards his men and ordered them."Get your asses in motion. Unload the supplies. First platoon 1st section secure the perimeter, 2nd  sections put up the tents over there. As soon as you are finished assist in unloading."
The soldiers of 1st platoon surrounded the train in a half circle towards the open terrain away from the camp going down in a crouching position and reading their rifles.
Behind him the soldiers started to unload while the  section put up thier tents in record time. As they were finished the relieved the section by assisting in unloading.
Those in turn set up their tents. Within 10 minutes the order was completed.
"The rest of you set up camp. 1st company 1st  section take up guard positions."
Then he turned towards the Delfian "At your orders".

General Richards nodded and turned to his adjutant. "Brigadier General Williams, take the trucks ahead of the cavalry and get to the training grounds. The cavalry will stay behind and get to the training grounds with the Loyanese. I will lead the cavalry and ride with High Marshal Jian. Understood?"

General Williams nodded. "Yes, sir."

The Loyanese moved off the road and let the trucks go through and head to the training grounds. Williams jumped on a horse and offered one to High Marshal Jian, which he took. As they both rode, they discussed matters such as thier families, where they lived, and what they have seen. The Canadian horsemen did the same with the the Loyanese footmen. The two people whose nations had been friends for years enjoyed each other's company. Richards even handed Jian a cigar from the Confederate States. He took it and they both smoked.

Captain Ramahejad took a cigarette from his favorite brand, Myrorian Marlboar. The Jeep stopped near the train exit where the terrangarians were, he had to lay his cig down, walked out of the Jeep and climbed the wooden platform.
"Hello there. I'm Ramahejad, your Peace Keeping field instructor. You all came equipped, that's good. Leave everything else but your weapons and personal supplies and get ready for the first exercise."

The terrangarians dropped their stuff in the ground and listened carefully.

"You have to run north around the forest, there's a red flag in the ground, get it for me, I will follow you guys with jeep. I will debrief you guys on the way, first of all, you are not allowed to fire a single shot in New Delfos, only if you are shot at by enemy forces, so always identify the targets, and if they are aggressors, go there and arrest him."

"That doesn't make any sense."

Captain Sokal turned towards his men. "You heard the Captain. Execute his order. Weapons lock,load, secure."
The men followed his orders without a word.
"Move out. Form a 4 man line, keep an eye out for possible ambush sites,now move it"
The men started to run at quite a speed. It was much colder here than back home in their humid and hot jungles.
This would keep them warm

As the first training week progresses, half of the Loyanese troops bunk up with the Canadian forces. The other half got camped out with the Collosean troops, who were about to get some hardcore whipping.

Day 12 of Operation

“I am Lieutenant Ain Wilshan of the Loyanese Ground Forces and a volunteer in the Loyanese Peackeepers. As par a favour requested by the Collosean government, I will be training you boys for the remainder of this operation. I am a no bullshit commander when it comes to training, so there will be no whining, ass-kissing, or childish bullshit while I am here!

In the army, a least mine, joining the army is not a privilege or responsibility, but a right. Now until you earn that right to fight and defend the ideas you were hired to defend,… your nothing but a civilian who’s been given a gun. I want you guys to take that to heart! At the end of this, I guarantee, 100 percent, that all of you will EARN this right to become a soldier, or Heaven strike me down!

Alright, now that I got my pep talk out of the way, time for an early birthday present for all of you. This here is the Armour Combat Vest Mark 8, fifteen pounds of ultra high density polymer, Kevlar, and titanium alloy plating design to stop multiply assault rifle rounds at fifteen yards off. It’s heavy as crap for the common men, but we’re gonna train you guys to lug this vest around with you, and in time, you will get use to it and wear it around like a second ball sac…Once you get yours, you will be require to wear it 24/7, during training, meals, and sleeping, The only time you will be allow to take this off is when you shower off that swear and grim from ten hours of no bullshit training with me! And to show that there’s no hard feeling, me and my own unit will be subjected to the same training regime, but with an additional ten pound polymer plate. 

And to make us a bit more closer, you will be training and living with my own boys, get to know each other and learn to become comrades of a strong and vigilant international army. Later on, your unit and my will be serving together as well in White Moth, where the main operation will take place two months from now.

Now! I want everyone to separate into groups of five, each group will be assigned to my drillmasters for training with the disposable RPG-27 rocket tube. Move it!”

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  ooc: I’m leaving it here for now, assuming that our guys are training in the proper peacekeeping tactics. Remember, when we are in White Moth, we are only to engage when engaged, no disruption of civilians allow, and we are not allow to enter Dirty A-Hole for any reason!

A combined Canadian/Loyanese company was given to Captain David Ross. David had been given a captain's commision because one of the captains and one of his lieutenants hurt themselves in an exercise. He stood in front of his new command. The Canadians and Loyanese were evenly organized into platoons lead by Loyanese and Canadian officers. They stood waiting for their new captain start.

"Gentlemen and ladies, I am Captain David Ross of the Imperial Canadian Army. I have mixed the platoons for a reason. One is the language gap and second, because we need to learn to work together. So every morning after breakfast, you will assemble in front of this building. I will be teaching you how to do cavalry and mounted infantry tactics. In some cases, you have to stop troops who are attacking peacekeepers or threatening them. Cavalry gives you two things. One is speed, the other is intimidation. You will assemble and I will show you first the tactics and how to care for a horse. Later I will show you how to ride and how to intimate someone without killing. but right now, I want each of you to pick someone not from your country and that person will be your buddy. That person will be your bunkmate and will be rewarded or punsihed depending on your behavior. you must learn to work as a team. Now in cavalry tactics, there are two kinds. One is camel cavlry, and the other is horse cavalry. These can further be broken down into mounted infantry or dragoons, lancers and hussars. I will be teaching you dragoon tactics on horses. In my country, we have camel mounted units but they are usually given to the mountain divisions.So let us begin......

"1st Platoon, what are you doing! Keep with the line, don't break the line!" Ross was tired of teaching some of these amatuers. While most nations had considered horse cavalry obslete, the General Staff had brought back some of the cavalry units, because as Rommel had said "There are no probablilites in war. We have to be prepared for anything and be prepared with everything." Ross sheathed his saber and halted the company. "Alright First Platoon, listen to me carefully. A cavalry company moves together as a team, as a single unit. As a cavalry unit, when I say make a line and hold that line, you hold that line. Now anybody, what happens when the line breaks too early? Anyone?"

A Loyanese soldier put up his hand. "If we break too early, we lose this intimidation."

"Thank you, yes. We can't break too early. Now you see those dummies. I want us to charge it again and break a few feet before we hit. then you surround the group of people. Now sheath your sabers and we will do this again." As the horsemen turned their horses away to do it again, Ross thought to himself. They're good, they just need to learn a bit faster.


The transport ships pulled into the harbor and took so many spots that they had their own private spot. These ships bore the flag of the IPO, but were all from Halifax. The peacekeepers were needed in the place that was about to erupt. If they got there on time, then they might be able to settle peace. If not the White Moth might not be saved.

Two old and long trains with big wagons arrived Plorisk, from inside came a big number of high ranked Delfian officials, along with some from the countries involved in Winter Shield.

Thousands after thousands of peace keeping units were filled the whole Plorisk complex, practically built by all the IPOP.
"We are gathered here to finish your training course for Peace Keepers. As Delfian officer i begin to thank you for the great job with the complex, New Delfos is proud of you. And I must say you all done a fantastic job in this training. I suppose you are all very well instructed about the job you were tasked to do. You are peace keepers, and you are not there only for peace, for that we would only need hippies! You represent IPO, and most of all, you represent your motherland and the principles we all defend. You are the tool for the world peace! Without you the hippies can't stand a chance!
Alright, enough with the hippies. As little of you know, you are already assigned for your first mission, your role of purpose will start as soon we officially graduate you all. And for debriefing, only your superiors will be able to do. I ask now the Loyan representative officer to stand here and issue your uniforms and helmets. And good luck to you all."

* Comparing to when they came, all units were very quiet and standing still, they were all very proud, and they were very happy that finally the 'torture' was over. The Loyan officer greeted the Delfian one with a smile and a strong handshake and stepped up the platform...*

Back in the barracks of the Loyan

"That was the most pussy-ass troop speech I ever heard in my life Wilshan..." yells out the High Marshal as he stepped into his tent.

"Haha, no shit Marshal! I was trying to hold down the urge to gag," Lt. Wilshan replies. "But they're Delfians, what you expect? Hell, he talked to us like we're mentally retarded. Well sorry General Delfag, I don't need you make me feel special..."

The Marshal chuckles at the joke and walks over to the tea pot at the end of the tent. He pours himself a cup of jasmine and took a gulp. "So, how are the Colloseans holding up?"

"Well, started on a bad foot, but they're improving. They're not throwing up at the end of the day, that counts for something right?"

"I guess it does...just don't go too hard on them. These Collos' aren't ours, and Collosea won't be too happy if we break them. Did you do the live combat exercises?"

"Oh yea...with rubber bayonets and full powder blanks. Also had them get shot with the BAT plate. We did 5.5s, but I'll probably have them get a feel of 7.6 soft lead. By the way Marshal, love the new helmets..."

"Haha, I do too. I'm gonna head back to my place. You should too, we only got a few more weeks of training. Get everything you can into your charges, I want everyone up on Class A combat condition, especially those Collos'."

The Marshal placed his empty cup on the table, nodded, and left the tent.

Out in front of the Collosean barracks, Konstantinos had prepared to give a speech of his own.

"I just wanted to tell you men that I'm damn proud of all of you. I know that well over half of you were conscripted from the Paramilitary and had only just gone through Army basic training. You came to Plorisk green, under confident, weak and now you'll leave standing tall and proud as some of Collosea's finest." Konstantinos began to take a more serious tone. "By now you all know you're going to be part of an IPOP operation. I'm not at liberty to say where Winter Shield is to take place, but I think you all know where anyway. There are just a few more weeks of training left before we deploy. I'll see you in the morning gents. Tomorrow, I'm gonna make sure you're run ragged! We can't have those Delies or the Loyanese or anyone else show us up when all is said and done! Good night."

Delegate Yar had arrived together with General Cuetlachtli to wittiness the progress of training.
They had listened to the Delfian speech and now walked up to Captain Sokal.
"How is the weather Captain" the General greeted him.
"Sunny so far.Sir" the Captain answered.
"They have fine soldiers but as always there are some men who might be in the army for the wrong reasons.
So we are going to someplace to protect peace?"
"Yes, so it seems. Prepare for the worst" Yar said with a grin.
"So how is training here?"
"Well Sir. They make us run a lot and have as work a lot and scream a lot just like basic training. Overall it's a camp out compared to what the Colonel made us go trough.I hope he rots in hell Sir." the Captain said.
"Unfortunately he is quite alive and well." the General answered with a sincere voice.
"Well we should get over to the other officers, see how they feel about it."
The three men started to walk to the main command post passing the Collosean barracks. The two Terrangan soldiers saluted as they passed by the soldiers who were listening to another speech.
