Sanaman Mission to the Green Strip

In response to the aggressive posturing of the nascent Kingdom of Barnum against the Ultimate Sultanate of Sylvania, the Sanaman government in XI.1689 decided to deploy a peacekeeping force to the Green Strip, the area between Sylvania and the territory claimed by Barnum. The force consisted of the units deployed to the International Mandate, properly rotated home and replaced, supplemented with SNS Sanilla, SNS Malliki Tosha and SNS Kaiser Ayreon II. The force established four bases in the Green Strip, with patrol zones. Since the Green is not controlled by any nation, Sanama was not intending to annex, claim or control the area, but simply to provide a security and safety force. The force did not attempt to prevent any nation from entering the area, but rather to act as a stabilising and peacekeeping power. Shortly after the Sanaman forces deployed, the Unified Governorates of Benacia decided to contribute to the peacekeeping force by deploying the 135th Motorised Infantry Regiment to Camp Amarra. After a period of reluctance, Floria agreed to send Special Operation groups such as Task Group 7 and MARSOF in the event of hostilities escalating. Operations were coordinated through the Allied Mission in Eastern Apollonia, Hurmu & Lyrica, overseen by the allied continental theatre command for Apollonia.

Hostile contacts with native forces were minimised during the deployment and the only notable activity was the tracking, detention, and return of a party of lost mariners to the Hexarchy.

On 10.XV.1689 the deployment was cancelled as the threat of contact between Barnum and outside forces receded and the accession of Çakaristan to the USSO obliged the allied forces to consolidate their positions via a redeployment to the Hurmu Trust Territory. Responsibility for operations in the ungoverned territories of the mainland was transferred to the Long Range Patrol Group of the Yak Tail Banner Group.
