HCS to move extra troops to CSE-E

Oojok and Benito have agreed the transfer of 6 armoured and 9 infantry brigades from the HCS-W to HCS-E. The units, all category A units (the best in the HCS) and "amphibious ready", will be relocated to Woloron 12 by the "early Spring". Such a force will greatly increase the available rapid reaction units in the area.

A HCS analyst says that this is the biggest escalation yet in the tension between the Clones and the Free Eritran States. "Taken on their own these brigades comprise more combat power than the entire collected Eritran armies, yet they just comprise 30% of what will be available to Benito to deploy should he wants to invade."

The HCS say the units are transferring for training purposes and as part of a rebalancing of the HCS.
