BADARAN REVOLUTIONARY ARMED FORCES CARRY OUT LARGE MILITARY EXERCISESBadaran T-47 Tanks Role Through Training Area, Northern MarakeshMarakesh: Today the Delegate Council Of Defence announced the beginning of operation North Thunder 4290, a massive military training exercise carried out by all 4 branches of the Armed Forces Of The Badaran Revolution. Over 10,000 military personnel are estimated to be taking part, making it the largest military training exercise in recent Badaran history. When questioned on the reasoning behind the exercise, Chief Delegate Usama Safar said;
We can never become too lazy when it comes to military training. The Badaran Civil War has left us with a highly veteran Army, however new recruits are beginning to fill in the gaps in the Order Of Battle, soldiers who haven't been in a real combat environment before. We cannot let the military prowess of Badara whither away due to laziness and underpractice. May we remain ever vigilant.
The Defence council has selected the Northern most area of Marakesh as the location for the training, due to its variety of terrain, from jungles and beaches to mountains and deserts; giving the Revolutionary Army, Navy and Air Force the ability to fight in a diverse number of environments. The Special Revolutionary Forces have also been carrying out actions, this time on the side of the OPFOR units, in order to train the Regular Army to deal with Special Forces troops.
