White Sands Missile Range in the American South West is home to the fictional Middle Eastern Islamic Republic of Attica. It is part of a bi-annual training scenario that includes transnational terrorists threats, cutting edge electronic and cyberwarfare operations, and a nation desperately trying to regain control of its own borders. Attica seeks closer alignment with the Western Powers, but its security forces desperately need American aid to stabilize it against the various threats that seek to topple it. Based on what I’ve read, the transformational threat they face is the Wolf Brigade, a team of cyberattackers that seek to use various electronic and computer systems to threaten not only Attica but all Western Powers. American soldiers most use the most advanced modern technologies to track the Wolf Brigade down and end, or at least hinder, their terrorist ways.

The legacy of the war for Lower Janga is most notable in the various nations that are affected by it. And those who affected it. Donovia fully supported Limaria in their efforts to wrest control of Lower Janga from Atropia, and even brokered the ceasefire between the two nations. And as long as they continue to support Limaria, there is no chance that Atropia can retake control of the region. Gorgas wants closer relations with both nations, and to step away from Donovia, which means they spend most of their time trying NOT to respond to anything to do with Lower Janga. And then there is Ariana. One would expect them to side with their Islamic brothers in Atropia, but Atropia is far too secular and modern for Ariana. So Ariana is not only trying to take Lower Janga for themselves, but also trying to overthrow part or all of Atropia with a far more militant version of Islam.

Lower Janga is a border province between Limaria, Atropia, and Ariana. It became host to a three-year war that killed thirty thousand people outright and created over a million refugees. The Donovians brokered a ceasefire in the end, but constant small-scale skirmishes and sniper fire have kept tensions in the area high. Irregular forces backing and backed by each government, or Ariana, have built a complex system of tunnels all over the region, and they often fight each other when the main armies are trying not to start another major war. Of note is the Ariana support of the Limarian Liberation Front, an ally in the effort to spread their version of militant Islam all over the world. Should the LLF succeed in taking over the region, they would surely export their terrorism to other nations. American soldiers training in this fictional battleground have their work cut out for them.
