Elements of the Trigunian Naval Infantry conducting patrols in Mesul following the capture of the city in late August, 5542Jakania - Combat operations in Jakania were planned to begin hastily in December 5540 with the rapid deployment of the 75th Alazinder Kozak Air Assault Regiment but were delayed due to logistical planning, which had been training in Deltaria, to Jakania to combat the growing Ahmadi State in Jakania and potentially contain the spread of radical Ahmadism once again to southeastern Majatra. As the conflict in Jakania developed, an outbreak of radical Ahmadi's seized portions of Solentia and despite Solentian objections to support, they welcomed Deltarian support via the MSCO and silently accepted an arms deal from Trigunia through the proper channels. As the operation began, dubbed "Operation Desert Sentinel", the Trigunian Armed Forces deployed a significant number of resources to the operation and it would be a major undertaking for the entire Trigunian Armed Forces which had undergone a large-scale reform and transformation over the past several decades and would be the first deployment outside of Trigunia in combat operations in centuries.
Official combat operations began in January, 5541 with with a joint Deltarian-Trigunian force pushing south in northern Jakania towards Mehmediya, a strategic city located close to the Jakanian-Deltarian border and would grant both Trigunia and the Deltarians the ability to began claiming swathes of land; as the push towards Mehmediya was on-going, the Trigunians were rushing more forces towards Majatra, both in the Majatran Sea and the White Ocean to the south. Initially conducted by the 75th Alazinder, they were quickly reinforced with additional resources that had been pushed in earnest towards Jakania. By March of 5541, the Trigunian forces had been able to conduct limited combat operations and were waiting for the logistical setup to begin large-scale operations and by the end of the month, they were able to begin such operations. On March 27th, the 907th Naval Aviation Regiment based aboard the
Rodshyadam began conducting surgical strikes in both southern Jakania near Mesul and in the north near Mehmediye. Elements of the 5th Army, 33rd Tank Brigade pushed into northern Jakania driving a spearhead towards Mehmediye, they engaged heavily with former loyal elements of the Jakanian Ground Forces and were able to remove a major roadblock to the city; the support of the Trigunian Aerospace Forces as well as the first en masse deployment of the Divonaya-RU and Divonaya-2 drones hammered Ahmadi State forces.
In April, 5541 the Southern Military District's commanding officer, and overall operational leader of Operation Desert Sentinel, Admiral Yukhym Bozhko, announced that both the Southern Military District's 5th and 6th armies would be deployed to Jakania. The succeeding buildup occurred over the spring, 5541 and culminated with a massive offensive launched in June, 5541 in which the Trigunian 5th Army and Deltarian forces captured territories around Mehmediye, pushing past and capturing Dari Akim, and cutting off the Ahmadi State in northern Jakania from each other. A joint offensive lead by the 6th Army was later conducted with formations from the Nilakan Democracy and Turjakistan, effectively splitting the territory. Elements of the 94th Motor Rifle Brigade engaged in heavy fighting and were able to liberate several major cities, including a prisoner of war base where members of the Jakanian Armed Forces were being held.
Trigunian officials urged for a broader effort to make peace with the various factions, and in November, 5541 the so-called "Broad Front" was established between the nascent factions of the former Jakanian state and Trigunia launched offensive operations to liberate Dokuz and Mesul. Elements of the Trigunian Naval Infantry, notably the 5th Guards Naval Infantry Division began plotting landings around southern Jakania, near Mesul and the other formations, such as the 810th, the 11th and 19th Naval Infantry Brigades landed near Imir to assist the People's Communities with a push into Bureniye in March, 5542. The operations in northern Jakania culminated in May, 5542 as Mehmediye and Rinasi were liberated by the 5th and 6th Army alongside Deltarian forces respectively.
The liberation of Dokuz was carefully planned, and in September, 5542 several leaders of the Ahmadi State were captured prior to the liberation of Dokuz by Trigunian and Deltarian special forces. Trigunia amassed elements of both the 5th and 6th armies and the naval infantry alongside Deltarian forces, in the 11th hour, small elements of the Kundrati Armed Forces arrived as the siege for the city began. The fighting in Dokuz continues as elements of the Jamaat continue to hold out against the liberating forces.
