With operations in the Grecians states coming to a close following Detti's collapse, the Marrish expeditionary force that had supported Maiz was ordered to support Nevarra next. While discontent was evident, General Moore kept his men inline and in good spirits.
The expeditionary force of:
50 Armored Cars, 50 Tankettes, 11,000 Standard Infantry, 1,000 Heavy Infantry, 2,000 Special Infantry (Marines), 100 Field Arty, 140 Mortar Arty. The force would be lead by General Bill Moore.
An additional reinforcement of:
1,000 Special (Beast Hunters)
4,000 Heavy Infantry (1,000 Dedicated Combat Engineers)
1,000 Standard Infantry
100 Field Arty
100 Howitzer Arty
20 Armored Cars
10 Tankettes
Would meet them at Nevarra's ports before traveling inland totaling in:
12,000 Standard Infantry
5,000 Heavy Infantry
3,000 Special Infantry (1,000 Beast Hunters, 2,000 Marines)
140 Siege Mortars
200 Field Artillery
100 Howitzer Artillery
70 Armored Cars
60 Tankettes (TMJ-32)
While it wasn't the biggest contingent of help, it was all that could be provided. A request for more manpower was only partially approved and the explanation given for such short numbers gave Bill more than just pause. He decided to withhold the news from his men until the newest edition of 'Front Monthly' was available to soften the blow and keep their heads in the game. The news would trickle down eventually and he needed them at their best. While Marrish infantrymen are not trained to be mountaineers, their engineering courses and doctrine would prove invaluable for the defensive nature of the campaign. The lighter force also lended them speed and agility with their lighter vehicle complement.
