60,000 Zamastanian soldiers are being sent to Vulkaria in the wake of the deadly terror attacks claimed by the Malvarian Liberation Front on Thursday which have claimed 1,485 lives and thousands of injuries in 9 countries. President Sakzi has announced that their roles will be shifting away from the "aiding and observing" policies of the past 15 years and will go towards a more direct role. The increase in troops is expected to coordinate efforts with the Vulkarian government and Coalition forces that will be joining them on the ground, including 17,200 Maximusian, 20,000 Shen, 18,000 Eirian, and 11,500 Shuellian troops. More coalition forces are expected to join the present mass of troops in coming days as governments react to today's attacks.

Troops will mainly be deployed in the cities of Vulkar, Godenia, and Lacarno as staging areas for an assault into enemy controlled territory. General Avery Reynolds, the Commander of Coalition Forces in Vulkaria, said that the "troop increase is meant to be first and foremost a reassurance for the people of Vulkaria, but secondly, it will be a force against terrorism."

Other deployments across the IDU may follow, including to the Holish Islands. Defense Secretary Curtis Fondaden “intends to make changes” to the number of troops deployed in the region. Other officials said options under consideration could send between 5,000 and 7,000 troops to the Holish Islands, but they all stressed that there have been no final decisions yet. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.

The troop deliberations follow several decisions since spring to beef up the Zamastanian presence in Vulkaria because of a series of attacks and bombings on coalition forces, but Thursday's attacks reinforced the needs for the troop deployments

President Foley Sakzi has approved those increases, saying that the region is less safe and stable today and has sponsored the terrorism that spread across the IDU. “The single greatest mistake our country made in its history,” he said, “was not stopping the terrorists for good when we had the chance. This time, we'll do it for good.”
