Hutorians Assumes Direct Command in Hobrazia
Major General Charles Fortin
The Kingdom of Hutori is officially taking over Northern Council operations in Hobrazia, following the wind down of combat, and the move into the rebuilding and security phase. The person tapped for lead Northern Council forces is Hutorian Royal Army Major General Charles Fortin, Commander of the 5th Mechanized Infantry Division, and newly appointed commander of Northern Council Security Assistance Force-Hobrazia. The NCSAF-Hobrazia thus far consists of Northern Council forces from Hutori, Dorvik, Dolgava and Narikton and Darnussia, with Hutori now providing the lionshare of the forces, made up of two full Brigades, in addition the innumerable Northern Council civilian contractors.
Chief amongst the civillian contractors entering into the country is Horizon Technology Corporation, which was given the sole contract of rebuilding and upgrading Horbazian's digital infrastructure and communications hub. In addition, the Hutorian International Development Corporation is offering substantial loans and grants, amounting to hundreds of millions of Lira for the rebuilding and expansion phase of the economy.
The Northern Council will be focused in three bases throughout Hobrazia, with a deal concluded with the Hobrazian Government and the Hutorian Government on behalf of the Northern Council. The bases in question will see a small logisitics and support base in Zargundia, manned mostly by N&D forces, though elements of the Hutorian 19th Armoured Battalion will be offering support as well. In addition, the main Northern Council military base will be near the Hobrazian capital, which will serve as the Northern Council's primary base of operations for peacekeeping throughout the country and for training the rebuilt Hobrazian military. This primary military base will be open for 25 years, while the final base will be based on the coast and have been given a maximum of a 50 year lease. The coastal base will serve as both a major logistics hub to get military and civillian supplies into the nation, but also as a southern Headquarters for the Northern Council's Joint Southern Artanian Fleet, which includes the recently refurbished and upgraded HMHS-King Alexander I, one of Hutori's Graham class Supercarriers and it's escorting Battle Group. After the conclusions of Northern Council operations in Hobrazia and the expiration of the leases, the bases will be turned over to Hobrazia for their own military use.
