SS Combat Forces to be reorganised

Emperor MBH in conjunction with SS-Commander Solax has announced some big changes to SS Combat Forces. This is the branch of the SS which assists the Dino Army on combat operations. For several decades the SS has formed a legion of the Dino armed forces though in recent years the SS has continually tried to built resources and manpower to have a 2nd and 3rd Legion.

MBH announced that the SS would have three legions though the 2nd and 3rd would be reserve units consisting of SS brigades in reformation, rebuilding and training. Many support functions of the two legions would be merged (thus in reality the 2nd and 3rd will only exist as administrative entities).

The 1st SS Legion will be strengthened and become a four combat brigade legion up from three. It would also have in it a Special Operations Battlegroup consisting of elite units. The formation of the 1st SS Legion will be as follows:

1st SS Panzer Brigade (Black Dragon Martyrs)
1st SS Infantry Brigade (Iron Fist)
3rd SS Infantry Brigade
5th SS Infantry Brigade
1st SS Artillery Regiment (Wrath of God)
2nd SS Artillery (Rocket) Regiment (Fire of Death)
1st SS Logistics Regiment

Special Operations Battlegroup
SS Flamethrower Company
2nd SS-D Company
3rd SS-D Company
SS Paratrooper Assault Company

Dino space force news

The Dinos are to upgrade around twenty Dinomark PT/1s to PT/3M standard. This will be the first phase in an eventual unification of the seventy-eight strong PT fleet to a single standard. The PT/3M will be as the final Mark 2 production standard including worm drive (though many Mark 1s already have it), improved weapon systems and ground attack capabilities.

The SS are to receive ten Dinomark AMs, until now only the Dino Army have received the latest attack cruiser. The SS will lose two of it's nine PTs however which will go to the Dino Army during the Mark 3M upgrade.

Finally it is thought twenty Dinomark XTs will be withdrawn from service, mostly old ships in support units such as weather reconnaissance and training. Most will go to the civilian reserve.

CSS (Consul Security Section), the elite of the elite, which guards the Dino head of state has exchanged it's XT for a brand new Dinomark LM (CSS-2). The old ship CSS-1 has been returned to the support pool.

Porquat 640 decides to build mine warfare squadron

New Sparta has received a surprise order for five Pentekonter-M minesweepers. Until now only Molab had ordered the type (for a joint Free Eritran States pool) and it had been thought NS had removed the type from it's export portfolio.

Five Pentekonter 106Ps will be delivered from 2119 it has been reported. It is not known yet what will act as the minesweeper director. The 3.5 billion zark order includes three Pave Yellow MCM control suites.
