The Arstotzkan Invasion of Benereich Rat Island officially known as Operation: Conquest and also the Second Battle of Rat Island was a military invasion of Benereich Occupied Rat Island. The Arstotzkan Union announced Operation: Conquest as a means to take the island and officially divide it among the Arstotzkan Union and Ward Empire.
Background
On 31 October 2022, the Armed Forces of the Empire of the Benereich conducted Operation: Mousetrap and invaded Rat Island. In response the Ward Empire and Arstotzkan Union began drafting Operation: Conquest. On 2 November 2022, the Executive Committee of the Office of the Presidency of the Arstotzkan Union and Arstotzkan Executive War Council approved the Operation.
Invasion
On 5 November 2022, at 11:56 am Captain in Command, Kmdt. Ethan Brinkman lead the 24th Special Forces Battalion of the 2nd Army Infantry Regiment aboard the NSS Oldtown towards Rat Island. Heading north-east along the Waimapu Channel on the East of the island, the forces then moved towards the south tip of the island and made land fall by 12:15 pm.
The 24th Special Forces Battalion lead by Kmdt. Ethan Brinkman made a strike movement to the north tip of the island. Starting in the southern tip of what would become the Ward Empire's Island Province they moved north crossing the Ward Channel. Eventually the battalion began moving into the more dense part of the island.
Meanwhile Gen. Samantha Johnson remained on the mainland to provide support and refuel the 21st Off Shore Operations Squadron. Eventually the 24th made it to the northern tip of the island with Ethan Brinkman planting the flag and announcing the island was officially Arstotzkan territory.
The battle was considered officially over.
Aftermath
On 17 November 2022, the Armed Forces of the Empire of the Benereich responded by invading the Arstotzkan Rat Island and taking it over. The Arstotzkan Union did not wish to reinvade the island and signed a surrender agreement with the Empire and ending the war.
