With all relevant stakeholders committed to the 2033 Draft, the Act was drafted in a short period of several weeks in January of 2033, outlining the need for new garrison facilities, budgetary accommodations for bases in [[Sarolasta]] and Equatorial Ostiecia, as well as new shore-based radars and naval improvements. The Prime Minister first introduced the bill during Parliament's Spring Session, where it was well received by both parties, although several members of the opposition, led by Member of Parliament John Susley (Representative for Ashden) wanted it to pass through the Parliamentary Committee for National Security as well as the Finance Committee for further scrutiny as there was concerns that the additional spending required would not be feasible due to rising costs and demands of dealing with the refugee crisis posed by Varshan's collapse. Concurrently, Susley's position was that the military had the resources it required right now, and it was fundamentally not in Arcerion's national interest to expand the Armed Forces past their current establishment. | |||
