Changing Situation in Chernarus

The Chernarusian Defense ministry since last fall has committed several contingents of regular and special forces to an ever expanding campaign overseas where forces find themselves in remote locations such as Takistan, Lingor Island, Reshmaan province and in Tora Bora.

Additionally, several regular army units once based in Chernogorsk have been reassigned to western Chernarusian to guard against enemy advances in those regions and to protect the capital.

The Chernarusian Naval Forces stationed in eastern Chernarus have been spared much of the retasking that army units have seen in the last six months, enough so that the Balota Flotilla, the Naval Air Base at Balota and the naval task force in Solnichni are essentially the same strength as before.

Indeed with the successful defense last fall against the Chedaki offensives along the northeastern coast of Chernarus, the CDF expressed confidence that existing forces could handle new enemy initiatives in the region.

Along with the successes near Berezino have come additional pressure for Naval Spetsnaz and Chernarusian marine units, with small strike teams taking on tasks meant for much larger units.  In the latter days of June, Chernarusian Naval Spetsnaz strike teams have undertaken no fewer than eight major operations against local drug gangs as well as Chedaki units operating as far south as Elektrovodosk, all of them successful.

The Chedaki high command has also adjusted their forces denuding those forces along the coast and reinforcing central regions between Polana and Stari Sabor with forces including heavy armor and air units.  Rogue Russian military units have been increasing their presence in the region taking advantage of the relative lack of forces to claim territory for their narcotics operations.

Now anytime the Chedacki attempt to move into an area a Naval Spetsnaz units has to move to counter those forces, sometimes three and four times their size.
