The League's Defense Forces Foreign Report
Authored by Quebecshire and New Makasta.



The LDF has had an incredible month in both activity and power projection. Currently including 19 members (3 officers, 9 enlisted, 7 reserve), we have grown and gained several new members. In addition to people joining the force, both Paleocacher and East Yourtanad have been promoted from Private to Corporal for their service.



To get into specific operations, the LDF kicked off the month by organizing, coordinating, and executing a multilateral liberation of Warzone Europe which was invaded by a coalition of independent and raider forces. 8 LDF members attended the single update liberation. The LDF published a gameplay report on the operation here.



Soon after, the LDF broke an organization turnout record in Trovons, where 15 LDF members fought across 4 updates to liberate the region from invaders. This operation was particularly notable because invaders once again let their mask slip, showing their true colors as they banned the native Founder from their own region in their attempt to maintain illegitimate control over a region they had no business being in to begin with.



Changing course to offensive action, the LDF once again demonstrated its ability to lead interregional operations with Operation Pacifists of Tyranny, where it led an invasion on Army of Freedom. Being a long term occupation, this operation remains underway but has made great progress, especially thanks to our friends in the New Pacific Order. The report on the initial invasion can be found here.



Last but certainly not least for the month, the LDF participated in the liberations of The New Order Last Days of Europe. The LDF, over two updates, tied its operational turnout record with 15 unique updaters of both active duty, reserve, and civilian origin. The region was liberated twice with 9 updaters attending each liberation due to technical failings on the part of NationStates.
