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.- 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 and 1,130 BK-VIII Light Infantry Scout Vehicles
