< Bretonia >

Operation: Eagle Claw
Codename: Exercise Reforger

Details: In the event of imminent war with the Kingdom of Bretonia, Liberty Assets in the west will be organized under Liberty Battle Command, First, 5th Fleets. Enemy strength estimated to be upwards of two, possibly three battlegroups to immediately deploy to Magellan and Cortez battlegrounds. Bretonian doctrine relies heavily on fortification and defensive tactics. Liberty forces will adjust and utilize rapid breakthrough tactics and push on momentum to render hostiles unable to mount efficient defense.

Once enemy forces and pushed out into core Bretonian space, a three prong invasion will commence with replenished Liberty armada. Simultaneous invasion into Leeds, and both access points in Manchester to rapidly ensnare Bretonian capability to retaliate. Leeds invasion force will blockade access to the resource rich Tau region and cut off commercial shipping. Leeds force will hold until Manchester is seized by invading forces and commence simultaneous invasion of New London. Estimated enemy defenses would include upwards of four to five enemy fleets. To act quickly, invasion must force a rapid drive to the Bretonian capital planet. Avoiding the same mistakes Gallia had made during the Gallic War, Liberty will isolate the capital by blockading all access to the system and deactivate gates leading to uncontested systems to disallow reinforcement. With luck, the Bretonian Government would negotiate surrender, otherwise invasion of Planet New London would commence.

< Kusari >

Operation: Cyclone
Codename: Exercise Flintlock

Details: In the event of imminent war with the Empire of Kusari, Liberty Assets in the north will be organized under Liberty Battle Command, First, 5th Fleets. Estimated enemy strength is one to two fleets. Enemy forces are not expected to engage in combat action in Kepler or Galileo, and anticipate these systems will fall easily to occupation. Initial invasion forces will engage coming from both buffer systems and engage in battle near the Renzu shipyard. Seizure of the yard is necessary to sustain long-term invasion. Once the Shikoku system is seized, we anticipate to face 4+ enemy fleets in their capital system, dug in well from likely preparations of war with Rheinland. Invasion forces will not commence immediately, instead skirmishing with hostile forces using battlecruiser strike groups, weakening enemy positions.

Once sufficiently weakened, invasion will be require greater numbers than enemy forces. Successful invasion will require swift seizure of Planet New Tokyo and effective defense against counter attack. Location of primary shipyards currently unknown, will need to utilize attrition doctrine following invasion and occupation of Planet New Tokyo. Fending off counterattacks will aid in forcing the Kusari Empire into surrendering.

< Rheinland >

Operation: Overlord
Codename: Exercise Rhein

Details: In the event of imminent war with Federal Republic of Rheinland, Liberty Assets in the south will be organized under Liberty Battle Command, First, 5th Fleets. Enemy strength is estimated to be absent within both Hudson and Hamburg. Swift invasion and secure of Planet Hamburg and Alster Shipyard necessary to sustain combat operations in New Berlin. Enemy primary shipyard estimated to be in orbit of Planet New Berlin, necessitating the need to establish a beachhead quickly before the enemy can retaliate. Enemy strength following beachhead in Berlin estimated to be four to six enemy fleets. Past experience with Rheinland battle doctrine show breakthrough tactics most likely to breach the beachhead and establish control in Hamburg. Liberty forces will decentralize in New Berlin to react more fluidly in the event of a full-forward assault to surround and eliminate enemy spearhead.

Following destruction of enemy spearhead, Liberty forces will rapidly advance towards hostile shipyard to deny ability to repair and refit surviving vessels and shut down enemy ship production. Following establishing orbit, estimated heavy resistance from increasingly powerful unlawful elements in Rheinland, necessitating the need for a rapid invasion of Planet New Berlin to minimize losses to local unlawful forces. Following invasion, we will force the Federal Republic to negotiate surrender.

Plans will be updated as needed.
