Operation Sacred Ground
Operation Sacred Ground is the military component of the Elijahn Restoration, the Natopian initiative launched in IV.1752 AN to reclaim eight bailiwicks of the former Kingdom of Normark abandoned during the East Keltian Collapse of 1737 AN.
The operation was planned and directed through Keltia Command in pursuit of the political objectives set by the Natopian government.
Forces
The primary Natopian contingent under Marshal Theodric Lazuline was formed from the Bovic Church Militant and the Natopian Airmobile Rapid Reaction Force.
The deployment would be supported by the 6th "Nord" Brigade of the Constancian Foreign Legion.
Combat air support and logistical sustainment would be provided from Arctic Base Thorgils by contingents from Federal Forces of Nouvelle Alexandrie and the Benacian Union Defence Force.
Objectives
The Military objectives set by the political echelon included reconnaissance of conditions in the claimed territory, security operations against Confederacy of the Dispossessed forces, and establishment of safe zones for civilian resettlement as part of the "Stampede to Konungsheim."
The single most pressing problem facing Keltia Command was how to organise the forward deployment of the Natopian Airmobile Rapid Reaction Force and 6th "Nord" Brigade to Los Bananos, deep into the Green of Northeast Keltia, and how to sustain the multi brigade international force once it had jumped off from its assembly area at Arctic Base Thorgils into the ungoverned territories.
