McAdams ordered 8 Rifle Brigade, comprised of the Norham Light Infantry and Craigfearn Fusiliers. The six battalions of Arcer infantry conducted a mixture of road marches and used trucks provided by the Istrenyan National Guard, linking up with the beleaguered 2nd Istrenyan Division HQ in Enunana by March 24th. Two weeks of sustained mortar exchanges, use of heavy machineguns in depth, and naval airstrikes helped to break the resolve of Tytosh's Battalions, who slowly began to withdraw, allowing 2nd Battalion from the Norham Light Infantry (2 NLI) to cross the river and cut off many communist forces from withdrawing. With Enunana liberated and allowing the 2nd Istrenyan Division to mop up, 8 Rifle Brigade conducted an advance along the coast for Lokokeja. | McAdams ordered 8 Rifle Brigade, comprised of the Norham Light Infantry and Craigfearn Fusiliers.

The line of contact along the center of the country roughly created a distinct divide, aside from the Iraso Pocket. In the West, Tytosh's National Instrenyan People's Front (NIPF) Battalions were attempting to establish a new People's Republic of Istrenya. Continued pressure along the Line of Contact meant that from the East the National Guard and supporting Arcerion forces would encroach and liberate more towns and villages as they sought to end the control of the Western portion of the country by subversives. | |||
