Background

Map provided by command on 25 February 2025 of the Ghoveo Island Chain with markings of the deployment zone and the Tabar Straight.

The regiment, commanded by BBM_Ping, was ordered to land to the southwest of the Ghoveo Island Chain and to secure the general area around the Tabar Straight for further operations in the area.

Pre-deployment planning

Map with writings by BBM_Ping of his general plan of action once deployment was underway.

The regiment was comprised of 2 battalions led by Sticky and Sirdog. After a regiment leadership meeting held on 3 March it was determined that commanders SierraKomodo and Comrade would fall underneath Sticky's battalion whereas Sirdog's battalion would be comprised of just himself. The general makeup decided upon by BBM_Ping with consultation of all element leaders was that his units would comprise the overall fleet carrier, Sirdog's single-element battalion would focus on air operations, Sticky's element would be a screening fleet, Comrade would be a surface action group, and SierraKomodo would be reconnaissance.

BBM_Ping then sent out a general order that the specifics of fleet compositions, to be influenced by the aforementioned planning, was due on 9 March 2025. After this was done, BBM_Ping affirmed to command that his regiment was ready to deploy. Initial deployment was executed on 26 March.
