Operation Southpaw is the name given to the ongoing military conflict in South Moorland as elements of the Moorland Armed Forces continue their efforts to root out hostiles and remnants of the Confederacy of the Dispossessed.
Background
Following the events of Operation Lefthand Punch and the ousting of Dispossessed elements from neighboring Ostland, raids from The Green intensified from those enemy elements still existing in the anarchic zones. The north, along the border with Nevermoor, continued to experience raids but already had the infrastructure in place to repel these forces. South Moorland, which was only recently transferred to the Kingdom, did not have these failsafes in place and was subject to more violent attacks. These appeared in greater number, presumably their ranks having been bolstered by those forces which fled Ostland after the Wars of the Disinherited. At the conclusion of the war a militia was raised specifically for South Moorland's defense, the Southmoor Garrison. This unit has since taken the brunt of the conflict, pushing west into the uncontrolled gap between Ostland to the north and Anahuaco to the south. At the start of 1725 it was determined by the government that this area should be secured by the Kingdom in order to eliminate hostilities there once and for all. As such King MacMartin authorized the dispatching of military units into the area to eliminate the presence of hostiles and secure it for the benefit of South Moorland.
Allied contributions to the campaign would include:
Anahuaco: a pair of observation balloons, 49 M1680 120 mm field guns, 60 trucks, 1,200 porters, 340 pack horses, 1,560 commissary troops, and 600 mounted provosts from the Imperial Armed Forces of Anahuaco.
Benacian Union: the High Presidium of the Benacian Union offered the 87th Air Support Regiment of the Aviation Forces of the Benacian Union, based in the Warring Islands Special Autonomous Region, to support the campaign. This would however amount in practice to 7 airworthy examples of the GAV-4(U) Jackalope and 6 artillery spotter drones.
Constancia: Task Force Northeast: Volunteers from the 507th (Nivardom Province) Army and the 508th (Raspur Khanate) Army, organized into 1,800-strong unit called the Euran Lion Regiment, 40 medical personnel, 50 associated civilian personnel, Logistic Support Vessel , Rhodondra-class amphibious assault ship with 4 Javelin H-5 Sovereign, 2 Seafox-class corvette.- Keltia Command: 3 volunteer regiments formed from 4,038 of all ranks taken from the Grand Commissariat of Keltia.
Normark: attached from the Nordhær was the 1st Command & Control Regiment, 4th Brigade of Foot, 1st Motorcycle Security Regiment, and the 8th Commissariat Regiment, equating to 10,800 men under arms 1,130 BK-VIII Light Infantry Scout Vehicles, and 926 miscellaneous support vehicles and light trucks.
Nouvelle Alexandrie: The Federal Forces of Nouvelle Alexandrie were able to offer generous military and logistical support for the operation via the Nouvelle Alexandrie-Moorland Joint Training Facility, including the deployment of airmobile elements of Task Force "Vigilance", garrisoned in Moorland, and the rapid deployment of combat, reconnaissance, and transport air assets into the region. Committed air assets would amount to 98 F-9 Ashavan II, 56 Javelin H-2 Siren, 15 C-12 Sojourner, and 659 C-11 Mula transport aircraft, organised into an Expeditionary Air Group with elements split between the joint training facility and Citadele Alexandrin in Normark.
The rapid accumulation of allied pledges of support was a good demonstration of the utility of the Raspur Pact in serving as a significant force multiplier for a member state's own military strength.
