The Dankuk Imperial Army has established a defensive line just north of the major Kazulian offensive, in an attempt to create a buffer zone between the southern offensive front and the capital city. The defensive line, located at its nearest point five hundred kilometers from the capital, is made up mostly of infantry units in dig in positions. In these dug out positions, around 440,000 active duty soldiers and 1 million reservists have taken up defensive positions against any Kazulian assault. A further 20,000 active duty soldiers and 900,000 reservists are performing other tasks, such as creating a safe evacuation funnel for soldiers south of the defensive line. Around 25,000 soldiers remain south of the defensive line but are being evacuated north. According to the Ministry of Defense, which has initiated martial law throughout Dankuk, the defensive line will be the most defended point in Dankuk will be defended at all costs.
The defensive line will consist of four sectors, which will be given the task of stopping the Kazulian offensives, with each sector having 18 divisions, with 10 mechanized infantry divisions, 1 cavalry division, 2 armored divisions, 3 artillery divisions, 1 security division, and 1 logistical support division. A further 46 are being held in reserve and can be deployed if need be. Alongside those, several ships have been stationed near the defensive line to prevent further amphibious invasions.
Whilst a draft has not been implemented yet, the Ministry of Defense has considered it as an option and has called on Dankuk citizens to prepare themselves for such a situation. If a draft where to be implemented, 12 million men could be sent to the frontline.
What remains of the Dankuk Air Force and anti-Air systems have been stationed on the defensive line. They’ve also been deployed with rapid response engineers, who have the task of building temporary living and military facilities. These military facilities will include forward operating facilities, sleeping quarters, bunkers, and logistical warehouses.
