DTA begin large multi-national exercise

A large exercise involving dozens of ships and thousands of troops from every Dino Trade Association (DTA) member has begun. About half of the force deployed is Dino though leadership is by a Sirikwan general. The exercise will last 3 weeks and includes mock combats in space as well as special forces deployment and amphibious landings.

The main purpose of the exercise though is to improve cross-DTA integration. Although the Dinos dominate DTA military capabilities, the other nations have increased their fleets and armies over the last few years. The Dinos are keen for the DTA to operate on a multi-member basis in military operations.
