2nd DDS Army brigade declared operational

The 2nd Infantry Brigade (Remedia) has been declared operational by the DDS Army adding 5000 troops to the still embroyonic land force. 2 more brigades (one more Remedian and one Aritan) are hoped to join the army next year. The Remedian brigade is drawn from the Remedian Army but needed a lot of retraining and reorganisation to bring it up to scratch.

Armoured vehicles are still a problem though, the brigade is using a mixture of legacy army vehicles including some ex-HCS AFVs that date from the Clone Wars (when they were captured) plus some vehicles from the Remedian Army, a definitive IFV for the DDS Army has yet to be decided upon.
