Thank you ROD, As you know Admrial Hartly's fleet has left Esquimult just days ago bound for the straits with a large force of ships and Naval aircraft, this will hopefully discourage any Eurasian and Iranian forces from attacking the area.

The Army recently announced that its reorganization effort, part of the Defense Vision 2020 initiative, was complete. The Armyâ€™s troops are now organized into 50 battalions, organized into 10 brigades (plus a few independent battalions). Total number of Army personnel is just about 40,000. The ROD website has been updated (except for some pics for the 11th Brigade pages). Next up is the reorganization of the ROD Navy.

The announcement was made at the Combat Maneuver Training Center at Armadillo Barracks where troops from the ROD 1st Armored Brigade were training with our allies from the Kingdom of Dunderland. Tank and infantry companies from Dunderlandâ€™s Princess Aurora Regiment arrived several days ago. They also brought an anti-tank platoon from Rapunzelâ€™s Raiders.

Pictured here are ROD and Dunderland tanks advancing against an OPFOR position.

The RCN fleet has made a stop at the port of Sidney Australia to restock on fuel for the oilers and our warships before we reach the Straits of Hormuz.

The Battle Plan for the RCN is to have the 2 Battleships and the Aircraft Carriers will lay anchor at the mouth of the straits to deter any Iranian or Eurasian attack, while the other ships will patrol the Straits along with the other navy ships currently present.

OH, SHET!! Great place to sit the carrier. Battleships maybe for a short period of time.

Awe man, have a great show of force. Park your entire Navy in the Straight of Hormuz. That will darn well intimidate the Iranians for sure.... TRUST ME. What could go wrong?

Sorry P.G., I took your line.

Yeah I would think twice about parking any ship right there. The Eurasian Empire isn't going to be a problem for anyone at the moment. They only have a few subs in the Persian Gulf and they are deep in the northern end.

And AT ANCHOR! Can you say "SITTING DUCKS? "

Brain AND ships in "neutral" - it just can't get any better for a submariner. Or a missile boat squadron. Or a small boat swarm. Or anti-ship missiles. Or planes carrying bomb and torpedos. Good LORD! The Iranians may just board and and make the crew walk the plank!

Only the Carriers and the Battleships will be anchored, the Destroyers, Cruisers, and Frigates will be out on patrols moving in and out of the straits, plus the Escort Carrier is carrying PT Boats in her hold that will be hauled into the water to provide the ships protection from speedboat attacks.

Oh, you BLOODY innocent... So New Canada's navy is to be disgraced, as well as it's army. They are just bound and determined.

There has been a change of plans with the RCN regarding the straits, the capital ships will not be anchored at the mouth if the straits, instead they will be with the rest of the fleet patrolling the straits instead.

Things are pretty tense along the Syria/Turkey border these days. Hoplite Tactical Solutions was hired to protect key assets and personnel in the region. The guys writing the checks are neither Syrian nor Turkish â€“ they are European businessmen with an interest in who controls the oil fields in north-eastern Syria.

Pictured below is an unknown VIP being escorted to a meeting between Turkish and American diplomats.

Discussion at Naval HQ for the Commonwealth
Rear Admiral Harrisburg, "with all the ships in the Straight of Hormuz, moving this way and that. All underway, there is bound to be a collision. There Admiral, I suggest that we do not send any ships in that area, if we cannot anchor along with other ships we are bound to hit each other. Can you image a Battleship at 22 knots hitting a destroyer at 28 knots head on or front quarter, the damage, the loss of life. If ships are not going to anchor there near the coast as a show of force, even peaceful, we do not send our navy there, sir."
"Capt Bingham to a commander, "just think of the environmental disaster when two ship collide, we will avoid that mess. Someone will not, it will be a big disaster."
"Admiral Harrisburg, we will go with your recommendation. We will not send any ships into the straight. Capt Luddock, change the orders, have that task force to go to sail south in the Indian Ocean, defensive drills: anti-air, anti-ship, anti-sub and combination of those. Thank you, Captain" said Fleet Admiral Johann.

Turkey-Syria Border
God bless those guys on the Turkey-Syrian border. Looks like trouble soon.
Better not affect Armeniadom (northwest Turkey) and Chicoviadom(southwest Turkey). I know you think I am inviting you. I AM NOT!!!!

After spending a day in Sidney Australia refueling the RCN fleet they will depart soon, the RCN officers meet with the officers of the RAN at the Canada house, to go over the situation in the Straits of Hormuz, as reported by RAN intelligence, ROD and US navy ships are present in Hormuz as of now meaning that traffic will be tight in the straits, they are unclear as to the strength of the Eurasian Empire and Iranian fleet at the moment. but more like they will send vessels to intercept the ships at the southern end of the strait.

Darwin Naval Station, Australia
CoC Naval Group
"We just got word that the Canadian Navy is refueling in Sydney, New South Wales. Hey, chucky, can you venture a guess why they would go down there from Canada when heading to help secure the straight of Hormuz? That's has to be over a thousand extra miles out of their way."
Chuck replied, "Admiral Sims, I cannot think of a reason other than they know we are here in Darwin up north, maybe they are going around Australia. Did not want to go by Indonaisadom, or Malyasiadom. They might just be taking the quiet route. Do you want me to alert any P-3 squadrons to observe, sir?"
"No Chuck, no, we do not need to do that. Does not serve a purpose. We do not want to annoy them in any way. Alert the fleet, let them know if they should see the Canadian Navy, we are to wave and stay clear if possible. Communicate if need be if proximity will be an issue. Explain the purpose duration, ya know, the necessary info. got it chuck?"
"Yes sir admiral, keep clear and communicate if any reason if we get close, sir."
"If they set transit through the Timor Sea, they might see some of our ships hanging anchor(easy float with anchor out, but anchor not on the bottom)," added Lt Cmdr Rau.

Currently there are no ROD ships in the Strait of Hormuz itself. Carrier Battle Group 8 is in the area, but it is not passing through the strait into the Persian Gulf per our announcement to the UIN on August 1st regarding our desire for peace. ROD aircraft from the carrier continue to patrol around the strait and the ships of the battle group are rotating into the CoC port in Yemen.

There are 2 ROD ships inside the Persian Gulf (a battleship and a submarine). Both are near the northern end of the gulf playing cat and mouse games with the 3 Eurasian Empire subs. The Eurasian Empire only has the 3 subs in the area and no more vessels in the Indian Ocean. They are recovering from the New Year War and they will not be any trouble for Canada.

The area is still very crowded though. US and British ships continue to patrol the area and there is significant civilian traffic as usual. the Iranian Navy has destroyers, frigates, and small fast attack craft. There is also the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps which has its own fleet of ships, though I believe that they are mostly small craft.
