HCS to reorganise special forces

The famous Red Lizard special forces are to be reorganised ahead of an expected transfer of their personnel from the army and to a new HCS Strategic Forces arm. Under the plans all Red Lizard units will be collected into a number of Action Area Groups (AAGs). One AAG will be Cloneworld with others spread throughout the empire.

The special purpose units such as the Space Red Lizard and the elite of the elite Emperor Bodyguard will be collected into a central AAG based at HCS GHQ. Its thought the HCS Navy will also be setting up Marine Red Lizard (there is already a navalised Red Lizard unit but its mostly aimed at riverine operations) units which will, in due course, also join HCS Strategic Forces.

• Operation August Flourish has ended after a final exercise with Starbotian forces. Most ships in the deployment are now returning to Solaris. The next exercise will be September Sunrise though no details have as yet been released.
