The Joint Border Forces (JBF) (Alexandrian: Forces Frontalières Conjointes, or FFC), was an international law enforcement agency operating from 1714 AN to 1744 AN in Constancia–Oportia, Suren–Oportia and Zeed–Oportia border zones. The organization was effectively suspended following the Mehrshahr Meltdown crisis in XIV.1744 AN, when Oportia withdrew from all multilateral operational frameworks under the Committee of Euran Salvation.
The Oportian contingent was organized within the Special Command of Oportian Security Forces, while the contingents provided for the Constancian, Suren and Zeedic sectors of the border zone, working alongside their Oportian counterparts, were organized by the General Inspectorate of Eura and Corum, reporting to the Committee of Euran Salvation and the Trans-Euran Command of the Raspur Pact.
Background
Illegal migration in southwestern Eura region has become a major issue since the 1706 independence of Oportia, culminating in XIV.1712, following the expansion along the border lines of Constancia and Zeed. During the major waves of migration, the Oportian Security Forces were unable to act adequately due to the lack of resources and funding.
In XV.1713 AN, the talks between Constancian, Oportian and Zeedic delegations took place, in which the customs and border protection were the focus of the meeting.
Suspension
The Joint Border Forces were effectively suspended in XIV.1744 AN following the Mehrshahr Meltdown, a diplomatic crisis between the National Salvation Council of Oportia and the Committee of Euran Salvation. The crisis erupted when Admiral Claude Petain, Oportia's special envoy to Mehrshahr, unilaterally declared Oportia's withdrawal from all multilateral operational agreements, leading to the mass withdrawal of Constancian, Zeedic, and Surenid personnel from joint border operations. The suspension left significant gaps in border security coverage along over 3,000 kilometers of frontier terrain and severed intelligence sharing networks that had facilitated regional security cooperation for over thirty years.
Notable operations
- During 1715 AN – 1716 AN the Joint Border Forces were obliged to contend with a number of "spill-over" incidents arising from the Kapavian insurgency, most notably the Souduraine clash. In consequence, Constancia initiated planning for Fall Aquamarinblau in line with requests from Oportia for further assistance with border-security in the regions bordering the Suren Confederacy.
