<span class="mu-i">"Looks like the battalion is healing quite nicely, and will be ready to be back in action after about two weeks of leave. This is good as we need them in the field as soon as possible. The Light Infantry Battalion now matches the on paper strength, and even has aspirational assets like Metis-M1 ATGMs at the platoon level....... These will be staffed by veterans, but we are pulling them Ukraine..</span>
Looking over the map, there are various markers placed on it, mostly a few different colors and with little flags in them to indicate what they are or where they are from. "Nadzor" points at three formations close to or in the capitol.
<span class="mu-i">"Motorized Infantry Battalions should have one supporting Armor Company, a few translators have been assigned to Golden Spur.... So they will fulfil that role...... Here and here will be your sister Battalions, both Light Infantry, but they are motorized and are getting around in Tigrs... All Russians and immigrants.... There is a Ukraine T-84 Armor Battalion here, third generation ERA, upgraded to roughly T-90A standard if not better........ That puts you in command of four companies and makes you a combined arms formation..... within a combined arms Light Infantry Regiment..... The two motorized battalions will watch your flanks and the armor battalion will be stationed behind the city as an armored reserve. They are very fast, so they can flank around the city as need be......You will be answering to Colonel Vsevolod Morozov, callsign "Garrote"....</span>
Looking over at Tabak, he points to the HQ formation for "Garrote" which is stationed behind the city by the T-84 Battalion.
<span class="mu-i">"Garrote has a more powerful version of TOSSUP and will be most easily able to network with yours. He is expecting you to be fairly self-sufficient, as he has to keep track of three other battalions and two of them are less experienced than yours.</span>
"How self-sufficient do I need to be?"
<span class="mu-i">"Enough that you don't call for air-strikes or artillery support. You can still call in Spetsnaz Guard Volki units or reinforcements from reserves.</span>
"And what about my unit's future as airborne? Assuming we find enough time to train and BMD-2s can be made available?"
<span class="mu-i">After Hungary is secured and this war calms down a bit, we're going to see if we can clear up things with our possible allies in Cyrus. With their assistance we have about a third of the middle east willing to work with us...and the allied Turks want to liberate the rest of their nation..... You're likely to be airlifted there and spared whatever BMD-2s we have for an offense. You'll be tip of the spear to assist the locals, as they don't have any mechanized infantry.</span>
