2 March 5666



NAMUŠUN: Just three years after the previous training exercises held jointly by the armed forces of both Xsampa and Bianjie in their near waters of the Sovereign Sea, the leadership of the two nations had announced a month earlier that AFB and XDA would conduct an air force exercise at the Giyoo Military Base near the Namušun. Air force exercises continue the series of joint efforts from both Xsampa and Bianjie to modernise the armed forces and maintain the military's integrity, as concerns over the Vascanian threat in the Sovereign Sea remain high. 

Before the exercises were conducted by the militaries of the two nations, the Bianjian civilian and military leadership had announced that the Befugun would undergo a second major organisation and structural reform of the nation's armed forces, as a part of the further modernisation of the AFB, following the preceding joint exercises with Xsampa. Ever since the announcement, the government had disclosed that it was in talks with the defence companies of Egelion about the acquisition of military equipment and further cooperation on the construction of the naval ships for the Kaigun. "Let it be known that we value and respect our friends and allies in the north, who remain the great partners on many fronts for Bianjie and Dovani as a whole", said the Minister of Defence Ajige Barra.

Coming into the exercises, which would later be called the Quiet Storm, Bianjie had announced that, in cooperation with the Xsampan military officials, it had prepared a programme for two weeks of the QS on the Bianjian coasts. According to sources close to the Kaigun high command, the programme included a realistic combat scenario, carefully conducted within the areas of the Giyoo Military Base, putting two teams against one another, with pilots of both countries mixed between the teams as equally as possible. While most action did happen in the air, according to the main focus of the exercises, the very important part was the inclusion of ground support through real-time monitoring, post-mission reconstruction of manoeuvres and tactics, participant pairings, and the integration of range targets and simulated threats, as well as electronic devices which send out signals simulating anti-aircraft artillery and surface-to-air missile launches, providing valuable surface-to-air training.

After two weeks of intense training, the Quiet Storm was officially over, with the soldiers and officials of the Xsampan Democratic Army leaving the country the very next day via train to Gemun and the Xsampa-Bianjie Railway to the Metz-Leonid. Minister of Defence Barra thanked the Xsampans for their "continuous support of Dovanian strength and resistance" and "equal participation" in exercises like these. Later that day, Barra would call his western counterpart to congratulate him on successful joint operations, adding that while there were no explicit proposals made yet, the Bianjian side is ready to coordinate on the next military exercises with the Xsampan side "as soon as it is needed".
