At the same media briefing as the Ground Shock 2110 launch the head of the DDS Army Zeppelin outlined changes to the structure of the New DDS Army following a review. Zeppelin said that before you could decide on the structure of an army you had to decide what it was for. The DDS had looked into strategic scenarios and had decided that they should have an army structure that could support major raids, short term territory seizure and rapid reaction.
Its no secret the DDS have been looking closely at the HCS' new light brigades and the DDS have decided to follow suit. The existing 1st Armoured Brigade (Arit) is likely to remain the only "heavy" unit in the army with other units being light brigades.
A provision order of battle for the New DDS Army is:
Central Battlegroup
- 1st Armoured Brigade (Arit)
- 1st Light Brigade (Arit)*
- 2nd Light Brigade (Remedia)
- 3rd Light Brigade (Arit)*
- 5th Light Brigade (Terra)*
- Fire Support Batallion*
- Maritime Support Regiment
Reserve Battlegroup
- 4th Light Brigade (Remedia)*
- 6th Light Brigade (Terra)*
One problem is most of these units (the ones marked with asterisks) do not exist! Though the troops are there, they will be re-organised into these new brigades later this year. Zeppelin is hopeful to be able to deploy the entire Central Battlegroup in Operation Ground Shock 2111!
