Imperial Navy prepares for next step in return of Gaduri Sovereignty over Bentasur
His Imperial Majesty's Imperial Navy released plans for the next phase of Bentasur's return to full Gaduri sovereignty this week with the release of the division of the Bentasur Naval Base into East and West Camps. The area that will be designated as East Camp will be handed over to Gaduridos for full administration by the end of 5741.
"The Anantonese Coast facilities are extra capacity maintained in expectation of hosting other fleets including the Gaduri fleet which was never stood up while Gaduridos was under Imperial control," said Admiral Jane Quasney, who is the base Commander at Bentasur. "This base has undergone significant improvements in the more than 150 years that Kalistan has controlled it, from a Canrillais outpost to its current form which hosts not only the 3rd Imperial Fleet, but also a wing of Naval Air at the Naval Air Staton and a Kalistani supply Regiment that maintains the Naval Logistics Center. These facilities and the Radar facility will remain under the Imperial Flag, but following the transfer of East camp to Gaduridos, we will begin working toward the ultimate goal of signing the SOFA, and when the Gaduri Navy is fully stood up, we will then begin the process of returning sovereignty of the base back to its rightful owners in Gaduridos."
The Admiral stressed that the naval mission in Bentasur will not change. "Kalistan intends to go, at that point, from owner to renter. As per our initial agreements with His Majesty's Government, the Empire of Ananto and Kalistan will retain exclusive lease over what will become referred to as West Camp. The lease may be revoked upon agreement, and Kalistan and Gaduridos will need to work out the terms of the lease payments, whether it be a direct payment, or the adoption of technical and material assistance obligations to the Gaduri Navy and security assistance for Gaduridos payed for through the Naval Budget. But there will be terms, and when those terms are agreed to, the Gaduri Flag will once more fly over Bentasur, next to the Imperial Standard, and the land will be formally recognized as Gaduri National territory, under Gaduri law.
The division will allow Gaduri to formally begin independent Naval operations with several new corvettes coming off the lines in Kaliburg and Ciudad de Gadur next year, along with some surplus green water patrol craft. "The Gaduri Navy will want to begin building new bases to host their fleet as their mission expands," said Admiral Quasney. "We know that the Government of Gaduridos prioritizes social welfare and economic development, but our arrangement hinges on Gaduridos being able to pick up some of the security responsibilities in the Schismatic Sea and in the Central Anantonese. We are confident that they will, but as we expect the pace to be relatively slow so they don't bankrupt themselves, we also agreed that it was imperative that the 3rd Fleet remain at Bentasur. The return of sovereignty over the whole base is a political necessity for the Gaduri Government which we respect and appreciate and wish to facilitate when the Gaduris are ready."
The Admiral said that the handover of East Camp, on the Ocean side of the base will take a few years because much of that area has been underutilized for a very long time. "We have to make sure these buildings are all ready for the Gaduris to move in," said Quasney. "The last thing we want to do is hand them buildings that are not fit to occupy." the Admiral also noted that they needed to construct a fenceline between East and West Camps. "This will involve rerouting some roads and such, as well as moving some activities from many of the buildings over there that we still do occupy and maintain, mainly in the Naval Logistics Center near the Schismatic dockyards."
Over all the division of the Camp is expected to cost the Navy more than K$18 Million Pesos to complete. "We will save costs by utilizing our own staff, as well as bringing down NSPers to help the Navy get East Camp ready for Gaduridos." The Admiral says she looks forward to continuing to cooperate with Gaduri Naval staff in the transition, and says the Gaduri Naval staff assigned to Kalistani ships in the 3rd Imperial Fleet are progressing with their training, and some even served on Kalistani ships during the Schismatic Crisis, giving them valuable experience in a period of heightened tension and alert.
Work on East Camp will begin in October and carry on through 5741.
