Sanaman intervention

So-Saran archipelago

As Operation Sanctuary commenced on 13.II.1690 the General Staff of Benacia Command communicated to the deployed Sanaman Armed Forces via the 18^th Army's commander, the Frainan Hohmin Rikard Lange, that the island of Sabatini, and the cities of Drakorda, Modan Hamlet, and Point Raynor, including an area of fifty kilometres around these sites were to be avoided by deployed elements for the purposes of ensuring deconfliction with a concurrent operation.

The Sanaman response, communicated through the mission commander Shenerel Meyshur David Kamira, was transmitted shortly after. The SAF did not intend to move beyond the borders of the So-Sara archipelago, and would in any case respect the buffer zones proposed by Benacia Command.

First movements

First movements by Sanaman forces.

The first action in So-Sara by the Sanaman forces began on 9.II.1690 and aimed to move to secure harbours and airstrips on So Sara Isle and Thanidor. The 3 and 4 Marine Expeditionary Regiments deployed from Rhodondra-class amphibious assault ships, with the 3rd moving to land close to Sara-Nyl, while the 4th landed on the east coast of the island, aiming to secure an airfield further in land. Simultaneously, the 5th and 6th MERs deployed to Thanidor, with the 5th landing at Thanidor City targeting the city and its airport, while the 6th landed at Arg-e Miranda to take a fuel depot. The forces encountered minimal resistance. Operators from Military Intelligence and Security Command, maintaining contact with local sympathisers, as well as monitoring online chatter and radio communications, had concluded that resistance would be concentrated to the two main islands, and would be highly irregular in nature. The forces were not expected to encounter much resistance out in the open, with most coming in urban areas through attacks against patrols, checkpoints and bases.
