Mozby Appointed Director of the ZNSO
A blast from Zardugal's past has come to the forefront as the Great Granddaughter of former President Lindsey Mozby, Saria Mozby, has been appointed by the President Petkido has the new Director of the Zardic National Security Organization, Zardugal's top umbrella organization for security and intelligence. Mozby was appointed on the recommendation of ZNLP Chairman Adrian Calistro during a conversation following last year's election between Calistro and President Petkido.
According to a spokesperson for the President:
Saria Mozby's security and intelligence credentials add significant cred to her family's pedigree. She served as a member of the Special Affairs Unit of the FIA before being loaned to the Zardic Counter Terrorism Centre where she served a stint as Chief of its elite Strategic & Tactical Assault and Reconnaissance Team. After her tenure as Chief of the STARs she was returned to the FIA where she climbed steadily through the ranks, finally settling at the position as Deputy Director of Central Majaratan Affairs before she was tapped by the President to take up the top mantle in the country.
In her opening press conference Mozby already stated her initial goals would be reviewing current Zardic and Intelligence capabilities and ensuring that the Federation was at its top game, especially in the wake of the unholy alliance between the MRSF and Vanuku to Zardugal's North and east.
Saria Mozby is going to have a tough job ahead; strictly speaking many within the intelligence community internationally agree that the Director of the ZNSO is one the toughest outfits to head considering the sheer number of organizations they are exactly to lead. Many Directors crack before their initial 4 year term is up and to, almost to a T, no ZNSO Director since 4166 has lasted longer then a single 4 year term at the job; the last to exceed this was Bruder Calistro, who held the position for 21 years before his retirement, making him the longest serving in Zardic history.

Chairman of the Joint Defence Council Finishes Defence Review
General Ptauro Saado, Chairman of the Joint Defence Council, and Zardugal's top General has announced that the half a decade long Defence Review had been finally concluded.
General Saado has already pledged to complete a 5 year modernization program to bring the Zardic Armed Forces back to up par with any Majaratan neighbor in terms of the quality of equipment starting first with the Army, before moving onto the Air Force and finally the Navy. General Saado noted that the Navy was actually the most modern branch of the Zardic Armed Forces thanks to the ZNLP Governments of the 4130s, 40s and 50s who invested billions of ZARs into purchasing new Aircraft Carriers, nuclear submarines and modernizing the Destroyer and Frigate surface fleet.
The ZNS-Taylor Murphy, a Federation Aircraft Carrier finished in the 4160s.
The new Defence Policy is doubtlessly related to a renewed effort by the Zardic Armed Forces to show they are more then capable of standing up to both Vanuku and the MRSF who recently sign a NAP and MDP as a direct counter to the most recent alliance between Istalia and Zardugal.

According to a spokesperson for the President:
Mr. Calistro spoke at great length over cabinet positions and the direction they'd like to work together to our Zardugal in considering the very close race that had just concluded. The one name that kept coming up with was Saria Mozby. After a lengthy talk directly with her the President agrees with Mr. Calistro that no one else was better qualified for the position.

This has been a long time coming and my predecessors worked very hard on this file and I'm glad to say I was able to finish what they started. The Zardic Armed Forces will come out stronger them ever before as we move forward with our new structure and defence policies.
