Cronan Security and Trade Union: Difference between revisions

Line 34: Line 34:
Beginning in April of 2027, the Union announced its first operation as a joint element would be combatting the increase in piracy and Varshani-sponsored terrorism in the Malentine Sea. Arcerion was the initial sponsor, providing the headquarters and support facilities required for JTF-M (Joint Task Force - Malentine), from which it began assigning patrol vessels and other assets to assist with the operation. The Operation was approved by the Union Council and other nations in the Union pledged their support. It was separated into three separate lines of effort, the first of which is Operation Wavetop, which focuses on the actual counter-piracy mission and counter-proliferation of weapons and arms enabling piracy. The second, Operation Shoreline, was a joint initiative to improve the quality of life and increase humanitarian aid and support infrastructure building in coastal communities of Kelekona, Telokona, and Malentina. By doing so the hope was to prevent future generations from engaging in piracy as a means of survival. Finally, Operation Albatross was the Special Operations targeting and prosecution of key financiers, smugglers, and pirate leaders that were responsible for enabling the burgeoning Malentine piracy trade.
