The Recépis had not adequately prepared their forces for the war their junta leaders were spoiling for, at the beginning of the conflict, the leaders of the opposing sides had no clear understanding of the requirements for military effectiveness, or the difficulties their state would confront. The feeling was that any sufficiently number of exercising effective military command—a belief for which their armies would pay a heavy price in lives and treasure. As the war was drawing closer, the armed forces found themselves involved in desperate efforts to rapidly expand under pressure of overwhelming odds. Tragically, it seemed that it was too late as the obdurate ignorance of the senior leadership would substantially retract the effort of military professionals as they were small in number which would prove later into the war a huge problem. | The Recépis had not adequately prepared their forces for the war their junta leaders were spoiling for, at the beginning of the conflict, the leaders of the opposing sides had no clear understanding of the requirements for military effectiveness, or the difficulties their state would confront.

The numbers had increased to a standing army of 250,000, they could field 4,500 tanks, around 400 combat aircraft, 300 combat helicopters and another 100 transport helicopters. Much of the equipment was either domestic outdated or foreign imported, the military was mostly used for the glorification of the regime and as an instrument of remaining in power but remained highly disciplined and well-equipped force--capable even of complex helicopter-borne or naval-borne assault like the commando raids as it showed in both | The numbers had increased to a standing army of 250,000, they could field 4,500 tanks, around 400 combat aircraft, 300 combat helicopters and another 100 transport helicopters.

Preliminary planning for a covert strike on coalition facilities and high-value targets(including civilian ones) but the scope of the Recépi Navy was limited due to obsolete naval assets, the newest being in service since the last stages of the Great War. To make matters worse, the Recépi Navy had suffered greatly during the army's expansion program in the late 70's when concurrently older Great War ships(most from late 30's). | Preliminary planning for a covert strike on coalition facilities and high-value targets(including civilian ones) but the scope of the Recépi Navy was limited due to obsolete naval assets, the newest being in service since the last stages of the Great War.

During the short professionalization period of the armed forces into the PMF, the Special Undersea Regiment: the unit was top secret military formation. The SUR, was the only 'ace' of the Recépi Navy; the Peace Committee ordered Head of Intelligence Sholikeh Kopczynski and Read Admiral Idrees Majewski-Aamer to direct a top-secret operation against the fleet units stationed at | During the short professionalization period of the armed forces into the PMF, the Special Undersea Regiment: the unit was top secret military formation. The SUR, was the only 'ace' of the Recépi Navy; the Peace Committee ordered Head of Intelligence Sholikeh Kopczynski and Read Admiral Idrees Majewski-Aamer to direct a top-secret operation against the fleet units stationed at Sydona. The realistic scope of the operation was to buy enough time for the Popular Mobilization Forces to prepare and dug-in into their positions and even threaten Daxia with ground invasion instead of risking war on the homefront. | ||
Despite optimistic hopes for the success of the operation, it was common knowledge that the commandos would have immense difficulty remain undetected; let alone succeed on their mission due to the amassing amount of naval units and troops at anchor and patrolling.

Several spies have been operating at Sydona during the operation as reconnaissance, falsifying reports of "light security" while in reality the 3 agents in charge were wasting government funds. | ||
4 commando frogmen squads were assembled to conduct the sabotage mission, experts in explosive and underwater sabotage operation alongside with support with infiltration units. Travel was executed with 2 different ways; the majority of the commando squads arrived via submarine with extreme difficulty past the 'naval blockade' and part due to relaxation from the opposing naval forces, the other squad arrived on | 4 commando frogmen squads were assembled to conduct the sabotage mission, experts in explosive and underwater sabotage operation alongside with support with infiltration units. Travel was executed with 2 different ways; the majority of the commando squads arrived via submarine with extreme difficulty past the 'naval blockade' and part due to relaxation from the opposing naval forces, the other squad arrived on Sydonas as fishermen with forged identification papers. Police check failed to find the military-issued scuba diving equipment and the limpet mines for the operation. The operators since they were allowed independent initiative, decided to blow up the harbor as soon as possible due the intelligence service spies failed to show up as planned. There was heavy maritime presence as expected: especially for military purposes, in preparation for the upcoming invasion of Reçêpistan. | ||
On the next day, the operation commenced but there were complications as one of the commando squads slept late the night before due to hangover the previous night and rushed towards the port but stopped at a police checkpoint. Police officers checked the trunk and without explanation the limpet mines detonated killing 11 people and injuring 49. | On the next day, the operation commenced but there were complications as one of the commando squads slept late the night before due to hangover the previous night and rushed towards the port but stopped at a police checkpoint.

In other regions, some PMF units despite receiving the radio waves for the '''Instrument of Surrender''' refused to disband being mostly concerned with avoiding riots, devastation, and popular insurrections, refused the help civilians in support of the Interim Government. There were other cases of officers autonomously dissolving their units, and started negotiations for an uneventful handover; many of these troops would join the Free Banners and in some cases the future communist insurrectionist rebellion. | In other regions, some PMF units despite receiving the radio waves for the '''Instrument of Surrender''' refused to disband being mostly concerned with avoiding riots, devastation, and popular insurrections, refused the help civilians in support of the Interim Government.

Recépi units in Pizrlich quickly disintegrated; as the high commands did not attempt any resistance, immediately handed over their weapons and surrendered with their units as soon as Faneriai armored units entered the area. In the small port of al-Gulizia(or simply Gulizia) sailors had scuttled or sabotaged their ships as SKNLU forces started approaching the area. The small garrison tried in vain to defend the area for 48 hours until the Coscivian officer in charge threatened to use anthrax bombs to flush them out. The sailors were later organized to be transferred for deportation at | Recépi units in Pizrlich quickly disintegrated; as the high commands did not attempt any resistance, immediately handed over their weapons and surrendered with their units as soon as Faneriai armored units entered the area.

At the city of Fuma, elements of the heavily depleted 9th Army Group surrendered without a fight fearing reprisals by Coalition forces. Initially Provisional Provost Forces had approached the city, civilians acting representatives between the groups proved fruitless as the General Sacha Gyllenhaal abandoned without orders refused to surrender to 'criminal elements' of the PPF forcing them out of the city via violent means thanks to overwhelming force of arms. Hours later, arrived via helicopter General McDickus mediated the surrender of the 9th Army Group to Kiravian elements instead: a sizable booty was captured that included ~300 IFVs & APCs, more than a 1,000 field guns, 536 anti-tank guns, ~800 anti-aircraft guns, 7,622 machine guns and ~400,000 rifles. A good amount of this equipment will be sold post war to solve the country's massive economic problems, only the best conditioned would be spared for post-war use. | At the city of Fuma, elements of the heavily depleted 9th Army Group surrendered without a fight fearing reprisals by Coalition forces.
