[chrisswim]

The relief task force that is returning from the Bay of Bengal separated with frigate, supply ship and hospital ship SSNS Good Will, continuing north in the Red Sea, into the Suez Can-al. Then west, being met by a corvette.
.
The two other frigates and destroyer are policing off Somalia. Interception of 4 pirate attacks or relief efforts on cargo ships. The helicopters extend the patrol distance even though they go out in pairs. Usually a Tiger and a Lynx pair up for their mission. Tiger utilizes the Euro-Spike L-ER version. Discussion is taking place if the Penguin anti-ship missile should be utilized in some of these circumstances. A purchase order could be sent to Norway for initial order. The leaders of each boat of pirates that have been captured have been flown to Qatar.
.
In Mali, military contracts on the Chinese payroll have hired Al Kabab terror groups to bomb public buildings and the military. Mali has submitted their Resolution to become members of the Commonwealth. Mauritania has also submitted their packet. Both countries will need to have upgrades to their military capabilities, training, equipment. The Commonwealth can provide some for the standing army forces. The armor that exists will be moved to the national guard and/or Reserves of each member country.
.
Niger and Nigeria are being lobbied by Mali to join the Commonwealth. The consideration and process isn’t moving forward at this time.
.
Catalonia state of Spain wants independence even though Spain does not wish permit secession.
.
The Logistics, Supply and Surplus Depot announces a contract of 20 A-4s to Mali along with 12 F-4 Phantoms. This is not conditioned upon membership of the Commonwealth. Qatar is to receive a dozen F/A-18 A models and parts.

.
I would like to send a small delegation, Envoy, and a few staff members to introduce the Commonwealth and it’s members to you, a few people from the Commonwealth Chamber of Commerce. Look forward to extending trade relations with the Northern Dominion of Alberta.

Early morning maneuvers at 03:42 in the northern sector of West Sahara with Merkava 1s and M113s with National Guard of Moroccodom. Further to the east the Army of the Commonwealth in M1A1 AIM firing as the conduct operations, utilizing thermals. Brigade training in both locations.coordination with helos.

The task force that has left the area of Bay of Bengal, after helping fight the pirates off Somalia, then took to shelling into Syria at ISIS. Not sure that the 76mm gun is very effective except with the rapid fire HE rounds. Drone video results show that several bases were hit. Vehicles and large weapon systems destroyed. Causalities reported. CNNN reports, "several hundred artillery rounds from ships came crashing into this camp. The ISIS leaders say I am not allow to name the camp here 12 km from the coast. ISIS reports that over a dozen 'freedom fighters' have died, but also 2 dozen women and dozens more children died. The injuries were higher still. ISIS says the people firing do not care about women and children." Reporter asked "why didn't the children run?" Amidd Ismale replied, "they were restrained for their own good. Some where evil needing to be punished. These were the biggest explosions that we have seen, huge, destroyed a building with just 1-2 shots. Really trying to kill us all."
.
Envoys flying in to NDA this evening on Southwest Airlines. Envoy Amil said, "we look forward to working with NDA, build trade and synergy in other economic initiatives.
.
More bombs in Mali and Mauritania by Al Kabab. Security forces of both countries are on high alert status. When questioned by the press, the Internal Affairs Minister of Mali said, "wish that the high alert status had been put in place prior to the bombing attempts. It might have prevented some death and carnage."
.
Al Kabab also set off a bomb in Algiers killing two. The bomber also died in the puff of smoke.
.
Minister of Surplus Military Supply Depot has announced, the sale as agent of 6 Visby Patrol Craft to a country in the Med maritime patrol and defense. These can accommodate small helos even though there is not a hanger on the Visby. These will have a CRAM, 57mm gun, CWIS and ability to have Harpoon launchers and drones instead of use of a helicopter.
.
Oliphant tanks are being planed to be made available to the Mali forces, either the forces for the Commonwealth Army or for their National Guard/Reserve. Evaluation and discussion will continue, including AIFVs, APCs, artillery, etc.
.
Yer Bouti is quiet. Several hundred people have returned to Yer Bouti. One was quoted to say 'that since it is peaceful, more people are not leaving, it must be good. We shall return to our homes and homeland with our families." Patrols off the coast continue from a further distance. shipping of containers does go in an out of the port of Yer Bouti. Some random inspections of cargo and manifests have not resulted into much of a violation of the UIN. The Russian Navy ships were not stop and those under Russian escort where not stopped nor searched.

Off the coast of Syria, after a disengagement by the Type 45 destroyer and two type 23 frigates, the ships were resupplied with ammo. Intel has arrived for a special target after firing the guns. These ships have not fired any land-attack missiles. Special guidance package was onboard for attachment to the 12 missiles expected to be fired. There is expected to be a leadership meeting of ISIS along with some representatives from Al Kabab, Al Quaida, Hamas, etc.
.
The 3 ships moved off the coast of Syria. At 1600 hours drones for gun fire targeting, target lasing and assessment. At 1651 the first shots were fired into a camp 11km inland with some jeeps, trucks and two APCs. Tents, soft skins destroyed or damaged, One APC is confirmed damaged with smoke emitting. The other cannot be determined. Several bodies on the ground. There were 4 other targets in the next few hours. The ships were seen sailing west away from Syria by 8:45pm local time. Two HALE (high altitude, long endurance) drones are airborne. In a large building owned by a Sheik (not related to Sheik Yer Bouti). It is 3 stories, three pools on a large private ground area. Gun men are around on sweeps, and the gates are staffed. The helo-pad has an Huey and an Mi-8 on the deck.
.
Over the last hour dozens of vehicles have arrived, Mercedes escorted jeeps & trucks armed, a few armored cars such as V-100, V-150, BTR-152, UR-416, Simbas. Estimated that over 200 people arrived in the vehicles. As this occurred two more MALE (medium altitude long endurance) drones were launched from Country of Tripoli. 4 Predators launched from the ships. As every many went out back to the pool deck then retired. 2 or 3 small drones were launched from the security forces flying in the area on the grounds and beyond checking to assess risks.
.
6 missiles launched for the large HE to destroy bunkers and large structures targeting the large mansion. 3 fired 4 minutes prior to the next 3 to hit the far side. Next 3 launched, 53km of Syria's coast. Guidance set with GPS coordinates and imaging system targeting. One missile continued to fly to the east, did not change direction at the 2nd way-point. 5 missiles hit the building creating large fire balls destroying the building. Wall and roof collapse. Several people were seen running from the building, a few appeared to have their clothes on fire jumping into the pool in the back or the fountain in the front. Security men rush into the building in some areas, pulling people (Al Kabab, ISIS, Hamas members) out of the building. Some are laid on the drive or pool deck. The wayward missile is sent destruct signal and explodes over the open ground miles from built up area.
.
The next 3 missiles are launched, GPS one headed for the main parking area another for the security building and entrance. the other headed for the pool deck. A series of small explosions and cluster AP and AT bomb-lets dispersed over each of the areas. causing more wreckage, fire and casualties. The last 3 missiles are launched laser target for area to affect more distruction from the AP and AT bomb-lets. The 3 Predators fires their missiles at vehicles moving trying to escape the grounds or hide among the olive trees, 4 vehicles and a security building hit.
.
fire trucks, rescue and police begin to arrive on the scene. The MALE & HALE drone remain in the area to assess damage to evaluate the mission's success.

The Commonwealth has accepted the additional member of Mali into the Commonwealth. Economic, industry & manufacturing groups, road and infrastructure missions are traveling to Mali to assess how membership can help and benefit the Mali citiizens that will become citizens of the Commonwealth of Chrisdom on July 20, 2018 (today). This was approved several days ago and coordinated with the leadership of Mali. The Wolf reports on CNNN, 'that parades toke place in the cities, towns and villages of Mali, also known as Malidom. Celebrations were taking place across the great land of Mali. Several Medical Clinics are to be built the government announced this morning. This is a program to help the citizens of the Commonwealth. Money for new schools, technology, textbooks is slated to begin within weeks. For the people of Malidom, it is a time to celebrate.'
.
The task force of destroyers and frigates returned to port on Monaco of Monacodom, and the port at Casablanca in Moroccodom. Their service to protecting the Goodwill Hospital ship in the Bay of Bengal is recognized, especially the medical staff of the Goodwill. Balzac Repbulic has nomiated the Crew and staff of the Goodwill for Nobel Peace Prize for Humanitarian effort.

The CofC is always interested in Peace, economic trade and ways to maintain and improve the environment. The Commonwealth did not expect that the Outboard Islands would be annexed nor need to be annexed by NDA. We are surprised that the island group was part of the NWT. NDA had made a claim that it was not part of the NWT.
.
Bombs had continued periodically in Mali at a declining rate as the bombers were either suicide bombers or were captured and interrogated. This lead to the arrest of other bomb cells and leaders. Several of these captured were either were seeing their maker by method of the Sword or a rope over their head. It is reported that some died trying to escape prison. Cremation with ashes spread at sea or some rivers at night in secret.
.
"Mauritania will become members of the Commonwealth the same day as Mali to become citizens with each other at the same time, 10am local time. This is happening based upon discussions with the celebration team members of the Commonwealth, Mali, and Mauritania.. Parades and celebrations are occuring as we report" said Yoempour from CNNN.
.
We are surprised about the parade of the walking robats/vehicles that can wardoff 105mm gun rounds. Just need to find the metal/polymer composition for the tanks to make them immune with the thicker armor package to AP and HEAT rounds. Sound like propaganda from the manufacturer. Even the Russian Su57 is being withdrawn, since the claims were excessive.

A week ago, over a dozen ships headed out of several ports: Monaco Naval Yard, Tunis, Casablanca, Americus and Britcus Islands heading into the Atlantic to the area of the Canary Island group. To conduct training exercises. Flights of C-130 flew out of bases with
.
Talks in the Canary Island chain began several days ago. The CoC is hosting the event. The area is protected by over 1200 paratroopers, the Navy and air patrols. Not all the specific protection is disclosed for security reasons. A few different types of carriers have been scene in port.
.
The CofC is hosting the event at several villas that are secured for protection of the participants of the conference. Social and dinner started Monday evening at a palace (really a large vacation home of a wealthy American, reportedly his wealth came from MacroSoft & eBuy). Tuesday was a general meeting to list the main points and issues to improve relations between YB and CoC and its member States. All of the general discussion was polite, reserved (not saying much). The first break out sessions were Tuesday afternoon, some of the small groups did get loud and passionate, as has been expected.
.
The retreat has continued, some progress has been made with the stated desire to establish a working relationship politically, economically and access. This access has been made more difficult with Mauritania and Mali becoming members of the Commonwealth. Even though the French are still in Mali to help with peace and reduce the rioting and murder, their tenure is expected to end soon.
.
Points of agreement are elimination of Al Kabab. as a terror group in YB, and the support of other factions of Al Kabab.Private discussion requesting Information of Al Kabab is on the table, certainly for the member in groups outside YB that have attacked in the areas of Mali, Mauritania, Tunisia, and Algeria.
.
CoC had not flown any drones into the territory of YB in months upon the request (actually demands of YB with words of an attack). This has not stopped drones along the border and flights of recon aircraft near the border looking in. The border situation has improved over time with some of the refugees from YB returning to YB, others have moved on into Moroccodom and beyond to start new lives. Some scientist are getting established in careers in the Commonwealth.
.
The infrastructure of highways that used to go through the area now known as YB, would require some repairs along the border and probably within YB, but most of it is still highly useful since new Shiek Yer Bouti IV is on the scene. The highway and rail system north, south and east of YB may be available, Normal tolls or fees are being discussed, but that is an economic issue. If trucking/shipping companies of the Commonwealth are used, it is built in to the price of contracts, taxes paid by the those CoC domicile companies.
.
A convoy of tanks haulers and empty buses was given approval to transit through Yer Bouti to save about 80km travel. Heading south through YB with escort. They did stop and buy some refreshments in YB for 30minute rest and relax. After that proceeded south and back into the southern sector of West Sahara to where the mechanized and armored group have been stationed. These 50 truck along with the logistic unit with the battalion. There are to head west with engineering equipment, some of the CV90 and Leopards. 2 companies of infantry along with the engineers personnel were transported west of YB and to the highway work area.
.
The crews from the ships that have returned from the Bay of Bengal and granted leave for 2 weeks. The medical ship Good Will has been restocked and supplied and headed to the Canary Islands to offer support if needed.

Cape Verde Naval Station is reporting formation of tropical storm to the south east, winds expected to increase over the next week. It is expected that the storm will head in the direction of WNW, for the western hemisphere.
.
A few frigates of the Commonwealth have conducted patrol in the area, along the coast of western Africa and out into the Atlantic to monitor any potential risk to the talks taking place in the Canary Islands with Yer Bouti and the Commonwealth.
.
Protests have taken place in the Canary Islands. Protesters march toward the villas where the conference was taking place. They are stopped and turned back by the local police. A few people ran around the road block and police cars and where appended by Marshals of the Commonwealth. A few more Canadian Mounted Police flew in since Canada is the lead neutral party to monitor and lead the discussion.
.
Construction crews were hired from Mauritania and Mali to help with the highway and rail networks. Progress is being made to expand the capability of the transportation networks.

NDA has made comment to help fight Al Kabab in Yer Bouti. Although the group seems to have been dispersed. Some members of Al Kabab have been reported to have headed to the east into West Sahara and into Algeria. Reports are that a few buses drove through the border into and exiting WS and in Mauritania and then into Algeria heading north. Someone observed 3-4 large buses and a few trucks with a few cars moving a speed. There were some cars that were pulled over at 2:30am local time to occupy the Border Patrol attention, which were families that did have proper paperwork. As of now Al Kabab is making noise in the Med in Algeria near Algers and in Lybia. Reports in Egypt, Syria and Somalia.
.
Certainly NDA does not need to land in West Sahara's southern sector, which is part of the Commonwealth. Chaikovia has an armored force training with some of the troops of Moroccodom and the Commonwealth,That force was to help ensure the border and train. Force is administratively a Brigade of each. Chaikovia force has M1A1 Abrams and Bradleys. Moroccodom is a battalion of Merkava 1 and M113. The Commonwealth Brigade has CV9040 and Leopard 2, a gift from Balzac Republic.
.
The conference in the Canary Islands did take a break over the weekend and reconvened Monday afternoon. Infrastructure, trade and local economy where the discussion topics of most interest.
.
Off the coast of West Sahara and Yer Bouti are two Type 23 frigates. These ships and others have been on post for a few months to ensure pirates and Al Kabab did not try to harm trade, the citizens of the area or government service. To augment this task force, the Canberra with two supply ships and the Hospital Ship Good Will have left ports with escorts of a Burke class destroyer, 2 Type 45 destroyers, and 3 Type 23 Frigates. Several submarines were observed to have left port or are submerged in port in the harbor. Missing are two Astute Class SSNs, 1 Los Angeles Class SSN, a Thresher SSN and a Ben Franklin Class SSCN. The fleet readiness is taking place in several ports on the request of Yer Bouti to ensure the sanctity and sovereignty of YB. Al Sheik Yer Bouti IV, is really shakin' it, isn't he.
.
On Americus Island in the Med, the Air Force is working on the 6 B-52s for more training flights later today. The ground crews are receiving help from the US base next-door to ensure proper functions and reliability.
.
Canary Island Police Chief has reported protests continue but peaceful so far. Although he announced that he has received information that some 100 or so professional protesters from America are flying in, funded by George Sorohos. Since all hotels rooms (or just about) are currently taken on the island, these are not tourist.
.
300 former soldiers from Mali have been sworn in to the Commonwealth along with over 2000 from Mauritania. They are being sent to the southern border of Mauritania for training. Engineer equipment was also sent to help build the training grounds
.
Survey crews are still in southern Algeria working to develop their mineral resources. Several places for mining operations have been identified by the survey and exploration crews.
.
The Commonwealth of Chrisdom has an open door policy for our new international neighbor from across the globe, ROD. We welcome an Embassy in Monaco and Consultants throughout the Commonwealth as needed, trade being an important local issue.
.
Mali continues to be an issue with rebels with murders, firebombs. The French forces that have remained are working to maintain the peace. The French have lost several AIFVs, including 2 VBCI and several VABs and VBLs. The FFL is shooting back when attacked and are authorized by their government and the Mali leadership to shoot to protect citizens. Nothing has changed since Mali has become a member of the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth has had some of its vehicles torched as well, including Ratel 20s and M113s. People have been apprehended and detained in an old fort's prison awaiting trail. The almost 5 million people of Mali have been through a lot of turmoil.

In Mali, one of the two newest members of the Commonwealth of Chrisdom, Chinese spies have been involved to take control of several mines of Rear Earth metals. Local police chief of Timbuktu was arrested for taking a bribe of over 10,000 Euros. Several officers were arrested and politicians in the area of Timbuktu. French forces were assisted the Mali Federalias along with some MP of the Commonwealth Military.
.
Arrests have also been conducted on several Chinese national, most of which are Chinese Army (PLAN) officers, the highest rank is Colonel Ying who is believed to be the leader, along with 9 other Chinese military officers. Two adjancant houses had been rented over a year ago which is where these men were residing. An Envoy of the Chinese Embassy in Bamako was also caught in one of the houses, it is the 3rd ranking staff member, is the Economic & Trade Minister. Over 80,000 Euros were collected, some from a safe in the smaller house, where 4 resided. The French detained Envoy Sing, later it was determined that Envoy Sing has diplomatic immunity in Mali, The French did not respond immediately to Chinese inquiry. He is not singing, so he isn't answering any questions.
.
The Mali Army will be receiving former French AMX-30B2, AMX-10P, and VABs,and armored cars. Mali have requested the French to stay and help with maintaining order. The Centurions are being sent back to Mauritania. Those in transit are being rerouted in Mauritania. Logistics is a nightmare when something goes wrong.

The ROD is very excited to be establishing an embassy in Monaco! The building is mostly complete – just a few finishing touches and some additional sweeps to check for listening devices and the embassy will be ready. Oh, and the ambassador’s wife didn’t like the curtains so we will be changing those.

The ROD wishes to thank the Commonwealth of Chrisdom for their hospitality in welcoming the ROD ambassador and his staff. The ambassador will host a dinner at the embassy next week and we hope that representatives from the CoC will attend. The ROD’s Minister of Defense, The Honorable Magnus McHammerhands, will be the keynote speaker. He promises to keep his speech short and the liquid refreshments flowing. Since it is warm out, we will be barbecuing meat, meat, and more meat.

The Commonwealth has been in discussion with the government of Yemen. Both sides have come to the conclusion that the Commonwealth will lease for up to 200 years (more than our lifetimes) on the western end of the Island of Socotra a 20 by 20 mile territory. It is primarily to provide a military port for the Commonwealth in transit, supply and logistics. This will encompass the town of Shenubrub. Socotra is south of Yemen and east of Somalia in the Indian Ocean.
.
Since, Yemen has been in conflict with Saudia Arabia, this will provide the opportunity to increase the economy with higher contract employment. The economy based heavily upon tourism has declined because of the conflict. Daily flights from Socotra Airport and Yemen have been suspended. It was agreed upon with Yemen that the worker would essentially come from socotra primarily and not Mali or Mauritania.
.
Construction on the port to expand the capability for logistics support & supply, moderate repair will begin very soon. Also, improving the landing strip into a fully functional airport will also commence. Some farmers will be displaced, the land purchased by the Commonwealth. Surplus mobile homes from FEMA are being shipped from the US to Socotra for new housing, over 5000 homes will be set up.

Morocco to receive a total of 200 M1A1 Abrams tanks. The Commonwealth is getting stronger.

https://defence-blog.com/army/morocco-a ... tanks.html

Camouflage is easy. But do I use my US M1A1 in tan only, or use my Aussie in olive drab, tan, and black, or paint new camouflage for the Moroccodom tanks?

[chrisswim]

Moroccodom received most of the tanks in port, some arrived on the Balzac Republic ship MV Horton. Training and familiarization it taking place. The soldiers are getting ready for Bright Star: Tankfest 2018.
.
NDA is injecting itself in the affairs ot the world firing into and attacking other countries. The Commonwealth is not sure how it is involve with a ROD Embassy being established in NDA. Just because ROD is building an embassy in Monaco. We are trying to understand the issue. Perhaps small minds for a country that is envious of others in the world. If a country wishes to establish an Embassy in the Commonwealth, not sure how that would be important or a concern to any other.
.
Of any one to worry about NDA may be the country to concern yourself with. Ready to send a task force from Northwest North America, to the eastern Atlantic to fire upon Yer Bouti. Moroccodom and West Sahara were concerned, thus so was the Commonwealth. fired into Algeria to supposed to fire on Al Kabab, but hitting civilian homes, business. Then said that they did not fire into Libya after killing almost 200 people, including Jean Batistia in Benghazi, a 5 year little boy. NDA denied the attack despite it being reported on the news including CNNN and other real new networks. Why would this country send a task force with 2 carriers to the Med? World domination perhaps?
.
The Commonwealth has not ambition in the Pacific region except trade, solving problems of the world. As for countries that wish to become members of the Commonwealth, we will consider all those that may wish to join. An evaluation takes place by the potential country and the Commonwealth. Algeria had wanted to join, but things occurred to stop that process.
.
The Commonwealth works with other countries across the globe, ROD, Chiacovia, Tripoly, Balzac Republic, Camastan, even the Gator State at times, Putinville, Australia, Spain, France, US, UK, Italy, South Africa, Sweden, Finland, Norway, NATO, etc.
.
Working on the facilities for Bright Star. making arrangements. for entertainment.
Looking forward to having ational ground units register and participate.
.
The Commonwealth and Bright Star: Tankfest 2018 invites Yer Bouti to send participants and/or observers. We welcome you. Gator State is welcome to send units as well.
