Huyoi Airbase, Singan
Inside the airbase, the HQ of the Lomarran forces was abuzz with the word of the the contact between Singanese and Tieguoese aircraft. As it stood, Lomarre’s sole purpose in the country was to help assist in training and testing for the new strategic bomber between Singan and Lomarre. At this point though, Lomarre’s purpose shifted to assist it’s military partner. The 98th Reconnaissance Squadron’s highest ranking officer, Lt. Colonel Matteo Estevas scrambled four fighter escorts to allow the Singan pilots to return to base and refuel. Meanwhile, his pilots would keep an eye on the crash sight for a Singanese helicopter to capture the pilot.
In the northern part of Ostara, in Lomarre’s newly constructed military citadel off the coast of Severyane, Brigadier General Antonio Serrano was calling an all hands meeting with Company commanders of the 1st Cavalry Brigade. The Brigade would be put on standby awaiting further orders; Singan had yet to approve the arrival of the reinforcements. Though with the chance that a combined arms conflict was perhaps days away, the General would rather have the men and women of the 1st Cavalry ready to move out.
By the late morning, Singan’s government did approve the cavalry brigade as well as an extra squadron of planes to be stationed at Huyoi. That squadron, the 5th CAS, landed at noon. The Cavalry took much of the evening to unload the men and equipment.
The 5th CAS was split; six jet fighters and four propellor close air support aircraft. The squadron’s commanding officer is Lt. Colonel Ramiro Santelli-Moro. Both squadrons have well trained pilots, yet none of them have seen combat as the last war took place almost 50 years ago.
By 01:00 The First Cavalry was situated with their new quarters and equipment was unloaded. They also lacks in combat experience when it comes to enlisted and most officers. However it’s Brigadier General, Antonio Serrano, was an NCO during the Tropic War against the communist insurgency in Trinitas. He is well liked among his men, despite a less than adequate health and his old age. Experience in dealing with an insurgency has made him a excellent choice in being the vanguard for Lomarre’s Ostaran Corps. Especially when that vanguard is equipped with helicopters that can bring in the troops to a contested area in a moments notice. The brigade lacks in armored protection with only a dozen FBT-3 “Forza” tanks. However brigade doesn’t plan on using them much at all on the offensive that was being planned.
As word came that Carpathia began launching cruise missiles and firefights began erupting across Singan and Tieguo’s border, Lomarran forces began mobilizing. The tanks would begin moving to help fortify the border. Helicopters began to do reconnaissance of Tieguo and even Hoinom on the border, without entering enemy airspace to avoid a POW situation. And at least two CAS planes were airborne at any given time, prepared to give a fiery grave incase the situation erupted into a declared war. As it stood, Lomarre would look menacingly as possible without firing a shot till word came to do so.
