"Centralised militarism is over"; Kohav urges other states to take the leadJune 5489Yishelem, Beiteynu - Citing the Beiteynuese Naval Command's significantly decreased firepower compared to its stature before the war with Lourenne and Hobrazia's current deliberation to enter the JAMS Agreement, the Kohav (Military Command) has been in talks with Narikaton and Darnussia in order to help convince the Homeland's 1 of 2 remaining allies (the other being Lourenne via the Altatepec Treaty) to take the lead in naval operations.
The Head of the Kohav confirmed earlier this morning the extensive rumours that the intended goal of a potential series of joint naval exercises is set to extend the Yishelhafen Pact in the Migrant's Pass with the MSCO (with Deltaria and Badara hopefully taking the lead) and the JAMS Agreement, also inviting Dundorf, Luthori, Malivia, Kirlawa and, should the Hobrazian Government decide to join the framework, Hobrazia, as well.
In Dundorf's case, the Medinat Dpt. has also given the "thumbs up" in terms of bringing N&D and Dundorf closer together in terms of Artanian security affairs, also offering the northern state an opportunity to flex its muscles with its recent naval build up.
Additionally, as the Kohav's suggested "mock battleplan" focuses around "driving enemy forces eastward to the South Ocean", the Medinat Dpt. has also suggested inviting Lodamun, Kalistan, Baltusia and Gaduridos, though refrained from commenting on the logistics (presumably in reference to passage via Aldegar).
On Luthori, Eli Kadiyot commented how "this is an opportunity for Fort William to show it can play with others".

It seems that the overall intention of the Kohav and the Beiteynuese Government is to balance out the Yeudish navy's noticeably decreased impact by:
1. Uplifting Deltaria's and Badara's tactical command within Majatra and the MSCO's framework (as Beiteynu can no longer maintain sustained defence)
2. Fostering security cooperation in Artania (which has been severely lacking) through the leadership of Narikaton and Darnussia and Dundorf
3. Enabling states from Seleya to increase their military awareness as part of Beiteynu's obligations in the Altatepec Treaty on enforcing self-determination
The Head of the Kohav stated:
Simply put, the age of centralised hegemonic-militarism by countries like Dorvik and even Beiteynu is over. We have all bore witness to the results of the B&L, once the alliance was turned on its head.
Decentralisation in military affairs is now a critical element of deterrence, moving forward.
Bullies with better specs should not dictate anything, anywhere.

When asked about the significant budget cuts to the military, the Head of the Kohav commented:
Folks seem to underestimate the astronomical costs of maintaining carrier strike groups. We had 4, fully equipped and of the highest order, with hundreds of jet fighters, numerous warships and thousands of personnel. We were even paying for a joint base in Badara. Not to mention operation costs during wartime.
It's very hard to imagine the true impact of losing not 1, but 2 of these formations during a war.
Disbanding the 3rd one saved the BDF an amount upwards of 250M LFR per year. The new petite Kadima formations are not meant for sustained battle.
On Beiteynu's role in potential joint operations of such a supranational nature, he said:
We are not meant to sustain direct battle and continuous firepower. We focus on agility and deterrence. Should such joint efforts take place ultimately, Beiteynu's role will be that of a follower, and a follower not directly involved, but deployed tactically to the "flanks" of wartime scenarios.
Cachtica and Bier Qassem are already aware of our renewed doctrines; Bannerhafen, as well, of course.
We can
bomb from afar, if need be.
