The DDS have begun assembling ships and troops for the 2111 running of their annual main amphibious exercise Ground Shock. 2111 will be on a biggest scale than last year's which was of course held in the shadow of the war and will apply lessons learned during the conflict. The entire 1st division of the New DDS Army will be landed in the main set-piece of the exercise though there will also be other smaller landings involving special forces and other troops.
Proxima 5 is the host for most of the landings, the DDS will be operating alongside Proximan Army troops, the main theme of this year's Ground Shock being co-operation with UNP forces. There will also be landings on Terra and Mars. The ships involved (not many escorts have been allocated as the exercise takes place in core UNP/DDS areas) :
