Guyana
The plan is to have 2 significant movement groups, smallest of which is brigade strength in size. The 22nd Mech Brigade moving from Georgetown westward to the border area that juts in Venezuela, transported by several convoys utilizing trucks. Convoys lead by AMX-10RC and VABs. Tank haulers carrying tanks, tracked IFV & artillery.
. There are rumors that Venezuelan forces have entered Guyana, but all that have been research have proven to be false.
. Assault landing craft have landed in Guyana for the 15th Mech Brigade. The 15th Mech Bde sent one battalion a few miles up the little Barama River. It utilized smaller landing craft. Air cover and recon is taking place. The 15th main force is Brigade has most of brigade entering near the coast of Guyana and the border of VZ.
. Humanitarian trucks are moving from George town behind the lead military vehicles.
.
Indonesia
Progress is taking place in Java and Sumatra Island bases. Ships from CHIdom landed with soldier to help with the build up, creation and development.
Some of the cabinet plan to tour the bases later when they are further along in their development.

Guyana
Forces are moving forward to within about a mile of the border with VZ and Guyana. Building up the Lager (as called in SADF). The battalion strength group is to be re-positioned since the terrain is too thick with trees,brush and water obstacles and swap areas. It has been unable to find a suitable route. SOMEONE left the some of the maps on the ship, was there a butt chewing!!! Moving about 4 miles north so preparing to advance with the brigade.
. The southern prong is still needing more time to get all the personnel & material there and organized.
.
Indonesia
Java base is doing well, defense systems in place as more are set up. A few of the initial group of ship have set said for Darwin, with two heading to Americus Island in the Med. CHIdom soldiers are doing well working with members of CoC from Moroccodom, Bulgariadom, etc.
. Indonesia has not yet made a firm decision on membership in the Commonwealth. The local economies are benefiting from the bases being set up, the construction work, hired workers and well as those there spending money. The Crazy Monkey Bar seems to be the most popular. Several soldiers have been in fights and have been arrested. We spoke with the local police chief, he allowed us to take all the prisoner if we feed them and return them within a week for labor on the base. We picked up 8 in jail and then the prison sent us 200 more. It is rumored that there was a few bags with some cash that were lost.

Good to know the the HMCS Calgary does not know where the international water begins and ends in the region of their country. Apprehension at 15.3 mile from closest shoreline of Canada. The destroyer CCNS Subic Bay was on 8 NM away and joined the meeting at sea. F-35 scramble from Greenland only 35 miles away.
... over the Radio, HMCS Calgary, this is Capt Zohan of the Commonwealth Navy, you have apprehend our ship in internaitonal waters. We heard over the radio their response to your radio call. Not sure how you move that fast, 42 knots. You now have 2 minutes to release the crew, about the time for use to be within 3 NM of your location. You will surrender, we mean to board your ship with the bayonet to take your position in 10 minutes. If you leave we will sink you. Aircraft are on the way, There is an attack sub in the area from CoC, there are not any others as we have conducted search."
. With those two ships are 3 Visby Class Corvettes and a Pegasus hydrofoil. Battle stations is the instructions on all ships & boats. 12 Gurkhas are on board of the Cruiser and have put on their body armor, weapons including their Kukri. They have even provide Kukri to the boarding party.
.
VZ and Guyana
190 mile or so from shore, the Ranger is conducting flight operations with A-6 Intruders, F/A-18 C & D, F-35 and A-7 aircraft. In the Communications Room from CinCAt. come the message relating the Canadian attack on an LCS.
.
Balzac Republic
Viggins and Grippins fly from Balzac to Iceland to Greenland. 8 tanker aircraft are in the air group along with 8 C-160 support aircraft. This is strictly a training exercise that had been planned for weeks.

North Atlantic
Between Canada and Greenlanddom
... over the Radio, "HMCS Calgary, this is the last warning, our next action will be to board you, if you resist we will fire on you, the same instructions you gave out LCS. You have a behavior of taking over the ships of other countries or trying to do so. We will not put up with it. Think about your actions...."The ship was release. Thank you Capt.
.
Two hours later an apology to Canada. It has come to our attention that the Captain of the LCS took the ship into harbor and visited a bar for a drink. That should not have occurred. That could have resulted in a much larger issue with lives at risk. Thank you for your good sense.
.... guess who has been assigned to desk duty in Dakar, Senegal. He will be flying out tomorrow. We might put him on night watch duty to inspect the security fence around the base.
.
Balzac Republic
The Balzac Republic would like to send on behalf of the CoC a tanker full of Avitar Brew (still working on copyrights on the name with YB). 6 different flavors. We can fly it in or send 600 kegs to you by ship, for appreciation of the Canadian diplomacy in the naval encounter. Please let us know which is best for you.

Indonesia
More CHIdom troops have made land fall on Java and Surmatra. Many of these will be based here for defense of the two bases. Rumor has circulated that the Sumatra Queen was drinking Avitar and dancing at the 'O' Club. Supposedly, more happened, but sensors put the lid on this discussion. So it could have been her sister that looks just like her.

Panama
The people that survived the attack while on Gatun Lake have flown back to CA, USA, getting ready to conduct a funeral for the dead. The news will be there, they were flocked with reporters and camera upon landing in LA. Truly, a sad event for them. It is rumored that there is bounty on the heads of those involved. Not sure who is ponied up the money, rumor it is $100,000, perhaps more dead or alive.
.
Venezuela
The Commonwealth forces are in place and prepared, Two prongs start the advance. Drones looking for Al Kabab, ISIS, and Communists and any other bad guys. You know who you are. Crossed the border at 10am local times. Both groups have come across civilians walking to and fro, some with their oxen & wagon, going to the market as they were passed. They were inspected and vegetables were bought from them. For Group B on the southern prong, rumor is that there are soldiers in a village about 2 miles ahead.
Drones indicated a lack of any military or armed men.women in the village, Dong Hut. As the armor and APCs advanced, troops did dismount to inspect the village. There is not any recent evidence of Al Kabab, etc in the village of Dong Hut for some time.
.
The US is expanding to Ft. Gatun on Lake Gatun. It will serve primarily as an airbase and logistics. It will have fighters, fighters-bombers, e-lint, cargo transport ASW, ESW, etc. The US will take the largest stake of the air bases. It will be open to ROD and the CoC.
.
K-Country has declined the offer for the 4 companies of Abrams, so the tanks have been put on route to the coast for shipment to Moroccodom.

Americus Island in the Med.
The Illustrious with 2 frigates and 2 destroyers and 3 support ships made port today patrolling the Azores, Canary Island and the Atlantic west of Africa down to South Africa the last 2 months. There have been several times the ships tracked planes flying, including CoC, Mali, Morocodom and YB. tracked and targeted ships. Training the crew.
.
Venezuela
As the CoC forces moved forward into Venezuela from Guyana, about 3 miles in an AML-60 hit a mine, blowing off a tire, killing the driver and wounding the vehicle commander. The southern convoy stopped for 2 hours setting up a different travel sequence. They moved 3 Husky mine detection vehicles up front, 3 Casspirs armed with .50 cal and LMG along with a small squad of men in each, they were following the Husky vehicles. 40 meters behind them are a couple of Ratels and Rooikat 105 vehicles, to provide support if any fire fight develops. Then the remaining convoy. 4 KM further up the road, the road split into two, the convoy taking the northern road, a better dirt road, more traveled. Probably more Al-Kabas to meet on the road. 42 minutes later, whoosh.... an RPG was fired hitting the dirt infront of a Husky. Two more RPG were fired... one hitting the large scanning device in the front, the other RPG hit right below the cab where the drive sits.... He lost a leg in the explosion, the Husky eased to the left of the road into the ditch. The .50s on the 3 Casspirs opened up firing into the woods in the direction of the back-blast from the RPGs, small arms fire began shooting at the front of the convoy. 3 more RPG shots, almost random fire it appeared, as the gunners were being fired at.
. The northern convoy had Casspirs up front loosing a wheel, 2 suffered injuries but remain with the convoy. The Casspir was put on a trailer taken back later in the morning with small escort.
.
Ft Sherman
4 rocket rounds were fired at the base, three that hit in the perimeter, one of which hit the roof of a building being worked on, 2 wounded painters in the room just below and 1 roofer died while taking a break in the hot sun. He friends scattered, could not get them back to work today.

At each of the bases on Java and Sumatra, anti-air and anti-ship missile installations have

Ft. Gatun: The US is allowing the Commonwealth to base and operate aircraft at Ft Gatun air base. Several C-130, C-17, and A-300 flew in with crew, parts, manuals, computers, etc. In the late afternoon, from the east 6 B-58 Hustlers and 9 B-52s flew in. 2 hours later, 3 B-52s flew east heading back to Americus. 12 F-4 Phantoms came in sitting on the tarmac to watch the 3 B-52 take off. Another 12 F-4, 18 F-35 A (conventional take-off and landing) are due tomorrow.

.
Indonesia
LCS, corvettes and destroyers are heading to Java and Cumatra Island in Indonesia. Some small groups of a few different tribes have come to greet us. Our guides have been helpful to effectively communicate with them.
.
Monacodom
A parade in the City of Monaco, bands marching, floats including celebration for Easter. There were military vehicles. There were 20 LeClerc, 20 VBCI, 16 VBL and 16 P-4 in the parade, looking sharp, colorful and very clean. Also in the parade were 14 Ariete MBTs, 12 Centauro, 12 Dardo IFV in the same camo looking very nice.

Gator State is in receipt of a quantity of armored vehicles from CofC. All arrived in excellent condition and are currently at the Gator State depot awaiting reconditioning and new paint. As with any vehicles received from another state entity, the reconditioning process will include a thorough sweep for embedded electronics that should not be present. Equipment received from CofC is always in excellent condition and thoroughly packed and protected in shipment. This excellent service is appreciated.

The Commonwealth is always out to develop economies for friend nations. Oh occasion, we would to be able to be a passenger on an airline into GatorNation and be arrested, shot and our body throw back over the border for the animals.
.
The Commonwealth would be delighted if ROD Navy would make a port-o-call. Those countries, Sierra Leone and Liberia along with Yer Bouti are the only countries on the western extension of Africa not a member of the Commonwealth.
.
B-58 Hustler with electronic and visual recon pods took off flying over VZ and part of the north section of Brazil. Sending information to Brazil military to utilize to fight Al-Kabab.Escort with staggered F-35A on path. The B-58 approached at 600 mph, accelerating to 1300 mph over target area. Sending info in real time with data links to Brazilian military and Ft Sherman and Ft Gutan.

Panama
Ft. Gatun Locks
The CoC had members of its military participating in the operation to secure the lock, secure the shp and the terrorist. The US commanded the operation. The Commonwealth was delighted to work with the US.
.
The base about 2 mile away from the lock had a B-58 take off. headed for VZ and Brazil. Information collected shows that the Brazilian Army is moving more up to the border along with the Canadians. Even so, there are miles and miles of un-covered border. Reminds me of Plan Orange in the Philippines by MacArthur trying to defend everywhere... which mean you defend no where. Al-Kabab is forming up some units or groups. In one group Al Kabab has 4 Leopard 1 tanks
