Baatrynsentii - A week following the creation of the New Verham Defense Force by presidential decree, President Khasar and his Xsampan, Egelian and Bianjian counterparts announced the formation of the "Absolute Support Mission" in New Verham. The announcement came after weeks of negotiations, with a pre-condition for the mission being the creation of the NVDF. According to a statement released by the newly established Ministry of Defense, the initiative will focus on training the New Verham Republican Army, National Police, and Home Guard units in areas such as counterinsurgency operations, logistics, civil-military coordination, and institutional reform. The program is expected to begin within the next several months, pending final agreements with participating states.
President Khasar described the mission as “a partnership, not a dependency,” emphasizing that foreign personnel would serve in advisory and training roles rather than direct combat operations. The exception is Egelion, which will continue to provide combat personell until the NVDF is considered capable of independent operations. The ASM will be headed by a joint command of Xsampan, Egelian and Bianjian military leaders, with President Khasar being the representative of the Republic when it comes to operational command. The mission is seen as necessary with a majority of military expertise washed away during the civil war. Recruitment for the NVDF will come from a voluntary program, offering former militiamen with combat experience a full paying job and state housing if deciding to enlist for full-time employment.
For much of the past few years, internal security in New Verham has been handled almost exclusively by the National Police, which assumed responsibilities far beyond traditional law enforcement following the dissolution of the former military. While police units have maintained basic order, officials concede they have been poorly trained, lightly equipped, and ill-suited for sustained security operations. Despite mixed public opinion on reastablishing the military, President Khasar moved towards its creation as it became clear that the current situation could hurt further reconstruction and that Egelion was not seeking a permanent stay in the country.
Additionally, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that it was negotiating with "international partners" for a potential investment or aid package into the country, with the recent budgetary report send to the Supreme Congress confirming that New Verham is unable to shoulder the financial burden of reconstruction while also rebuilding institutions like the military. An aid package, however small, would give the republic much needed relief without jeopardizing reconstruction efforts or national security.
