[[File:1967 Arco Invasion.png|thumb|Disposition of Arcer forces on the morning of 18 May after the insertion of 11 Para Brigade, and the landing of 3 and 9 Rifle Brigades. ]] | |||
On the morning of May 5th, 1967 Tierrador's 22nd and 23rd infantry units began river crossing operations (known in Tierrador as Operation Panther) under a heavy artillery bombardment, displacing many of the Istrenyan troops opposite them, beginning to fracture the two remaining divisions of the Istrenyan 1st Corps, the 3rd and 5th Divisions. News reached Kurst by that evening, and Prime Minister Fleming directed the [[Arcer General Staff]] to deploy forces to protect the IUZ and prevent ITerrador from capturing either Enunana or Karaba. | On the morning of May 5th, 1967 Tierrador's 22nd and 23rd infantry units began river crossing operations (known in Tierrador as Operation Panther) under a heavy artillery bombardment, displacing many of the Istrenyan troops opposite them, beginning to fracture the two remaining divisions of the Istrenyan 1st Corps, the 3rd and 5th Divisions.
