Task Force Asteria was composed of three main units, all with intertwined but separate roles. The Land Component, commanded by Colonel Stephen Firth, was centered around 11 Para Brigade and the Arcerion Parachute Regiment. It consisted of four battalions of airborne infantry, as well as mortars, reconnaissance elements, and additional enabling elements. Based out of Presdale Garrison, in [[Northlea Governorate]], Arcerion it had its leave cancelled and reconstituted into the land component within 18 hours of receiving notice it was required to deploy to Asteria. | |||
The aerial component was a tri-national grouping of fighter aircraft from Arcerion, Brugundie, and in a historic first, [[The Cape]]. It enforced a no-fly zone over much of Southern Asteria, with the explicit intent of preventing interference of Asterian aircraft from interdicting evacuation flights, degrading the ability of Asteria's armed forces to continue to wage war, and protect TF Asteria units from hostile intent. Commanded by BURG PUT SOMETHING HERE, it centered around multiple composite squadrons of Arco-Burgoignesc Aeroco Kestrel fighter aircraft, as well as airborne early warning (AWACS), and transport aircraft. | |||
The naval component, which arrived last due to the distance between berthing and Asteria, was commanded by BURG YOU AGAIN, and provided the forward staging and replenishment areas for both the aerial and land task force. The naval component was able to resupply, rearm, provide medical services, as well as act as the drop-off point for evacuees and noncombatants airlifted out of Asteria. | |||
