Reports on Reorganization

October 16th, 2005

General Gardner,

The reformation and training of the Equestrian military is proceeding well. There have been some problems but many have been resolved and operations have continued at a brisk pace. We expect the Equestrian military to be fully capable of withstanding assaults on it's own by summer to autumn of next year. Much of the equipment, particularly of the Air Force, is varying in type and may cause difficulties in logistics. However, this is the fastest way we were able to equip and arm a sizable force.

As requested, enclosed in this letter is a list of combat units of the Royal Equestrian Air Force. Most of their callsigns are based on the names of their squadron leaders, following an Equestrian tradition of naming the squadron after the founding leader. Though we have asked them to change this, due to intelligence concerns, but they have refused to relent.

In addition to the Equestrian units is a large wing made up of exiled forces from occupied nations, as well as the planned naval wing of the soon-to-be-launched Equestrian aircraft carrier. So far only moderate resources have been acquired for the latter due the need to arm the R.E.A.F. first, but we expect to fully man the carrier in time. Not included are a number of mercenary units the Equestrians plan on hiring, as we are still detailing on how they will be integrated with the rest of the forces.

-Respectfully,

General Leevie.
