OOC: This happened in January of 4401. These posts are recaps of what happened on those days.
Jelbic Sea Hosts Joint Resolve Naval Exercise
The closing days of exercises in Operation Joint Resolve centred around the navies of both Luthori and Lourenne, with the first day focusing on joint operations and the second day focused on mock combat and a naval battle. The majority of the army personnel deployed for the Operation returned to their bases and large portions of the air force from both nations also returned home, with a small number remaining on hand for naval exercises around search & rescue and helicopter operations.
DAY 9 & 10:
Location: Jelbic Sea, off Coast of Utagia
The first day of the naval exercises consisted of two tactical assault groups, consisting of mixed warships from both fleets, simulating details of drills centred on a map including ship-to-sea firing by secondary cannons, air defence, joint landing and inspection, maritime search and rescue, underway replenishment and manoeuvres geared around close quarter operations. The training encompassed several units and naval machinery, including Mistral helicopters, a number of frigates, rocket launchers, aircraft that discover & combat submarines and fighters which can be launched by the Luthori Aircraft Carrier.
The drills on the second day involved a number of combat exercises using live ammunition, submarines, and defence against asymmetric threats, as well as executing daytime and night-time sailing formations. The exercise ran through a range of scenarios, including crisis and conflict situations, disputed territory operations, terrorist activity, smuggling and piracy. The afternoon of the second day saw a live ammunition war game participated in by both nations and a cat and mouse chase to test the maritime training of personnel on the vessels, as well as the comand structure for both navies.
The end of the day saw Luthori Royal Navy forces return to their base in Utagia, whilst the Lourenne Navy set sail to cross the Anantonese Ocean back to Lourenne.
