Istrenyan Crisis: Difference between revisions

Line 39:

The campaign was set to see the initial deployment begin by March of 1960, and the military quickly ramped up to begin the deployment to secure the Arcer Embassy in Karaba, as well as prepare for the evacuation of the Arcer Consular staff in Iraso.

=== Operation Insolent ===

~~initial~~ deployment

By early March the Joint Task Force, under Major General Timothy McAdams, a veteran of the Second Great War and [[Operation Lightfoot]], had set up their headquarters in Hotel Chekila, the town of Madara. Hundreds of Arcer soldiers were being airlifted in every day, however concerns over the deployment of heavy equipment such as tanks and artillery raised fears and concerns with the Arcer government over the public perception of using such force in what was essentially being sold to the public as a police action and counter-insurgency operation. 7 and 8 Rifle Brigades set up outside Karaba, and prepared for their respective deployments. McAdams moved his tactical headquarters to Karaba to work out of the Arcer Embassy in Karaba, so as to co-locate with the Ambassador and have consistent communication with the Arcer general staff. Once provisional field hospitals, helicopter landing sites, and supply depots had been roughly constructed and were functional, the Army was prepared by the end of March to begin the counter-attacks out towards the West.

~~karaba HQ setup~~

During the deployment of the Arcer troops to Eastern Istrenya, A and B Companies from the Arcer Commando Regiment, numbering approximately two hundred men, were inserted via helicopter to Iraso to defend the Arcer embassy. While the perimeter of Iraso was being held by members of the Istrenyan National Guard, Arcer special forces advisors assisted them by directing airstrikes from naval aircraft against NIPF positions. The Commandos would be instrumental for holding the Iraso pocket until eventually relieved by regular Arcer forces. The navy also conducted a considerable amount of strikes in Lokokeja to disrupt the trucks and rail used by NIPF forces to resupply the four Liberation Battalions currently laying siege to Enunana.

naval ~~strikes in Lokokeja~~

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.
