DDS recruit extra 150,000 troops

The New DDS Army have announced that they have recruited over 150,000 young men and women who will be formed into new brigades of the army, some even volunteered a WM officer reported. DDS Army chief Zeppelin said the first instance was to produce a solid base of troops, then the DDS would aim to form an "elite fulcrum" of a rapid reaction force out of the best units in the army.

Central and Reserve Battlegroups have been renamed the 1st and Reserve Divisions of the army respectively. A 2nd Division has also been named though as yet it's brigades only exist on paper.

The army will also form a number of "heavy brigades" which will be equipped with TRV-5 Tapir IFVs which will be bought off the HCS according to some reports. It is likely the first few hundred will be older ones bought from the HCS Reserve.
