Westcliff - With the ongoing conflict between the Ryccian Junta and an international coalition, the government of Sugovia had begin deploying troops in the mountainous Rycco-Sugovian border.

Troops were deployed into the area following the intensification of combat between the coalition and the Junta. Made worse by the Junta’s use of chemical weapons against military personnel and civilians. The deployment of troops was announced by President Muhammad Wilkinson hours after the use of chemical weapons on Huawan, and soon followed by the Weisserstein garrison situated in the town of Newshire, 12 km from Westcliff.
Despite the deployment of troops, the likelihood of Sugovian involvement into the conflict is low. In the same announcement of the deployment of troops, President Wilkinson claims that these troops are merely “…to protect [Sugovia] from a sudden invasion [by the Junta]…”
The Rycco-Sugovian border currently houses up to 5,000 Sugovian soldiers, with another 900 Weisserstein soldiers also situated there as support. This number is complemented by several light tanks and other military vehicles of the Sugovian Defense Forces and several vehicles from the Weissersteiner forces. The combined force have also been conducting drills in preparation of a Junta invasion, which, while unlikely, remains a possible threat.

In an interview with WW, Sergeant David Abdullah views the deployment as, “…a necessary measure to ensure the sovereignty and independence of Sugovia [from the Junta]”.
The 900 Weissersteiner troops deployed alongside the SDF remain high spirited, with Corporal Kaspar Katterfeld commenting that, “…[the Weissersteiner forces in the Rycco-Sugovian border] are more than ready to push back the Junta…”, he also later stated that, “…if [the Junta] invaded Sugovia, we’d push them all the way back to Castiana, God willing.”
When asked about his view regarding the possibility of an invasion by the Junta, Sergeant David Abdullah replied that, “…while it seems very unlikely in their current predicament, the possibility, and therefore threat of an invasion, remains.”
