Texas Expedition

The Texas Expedition, also known as the Texas-Confederate War or the Texas War of Independence, was a military conflict and military expedition carried out by the New Confederate States of America]to the Texas Frontier, the latter of which was claimed by the Second Texas Republic. The campaign began in 2212 when Texas militiamen engaged Confederate troops famously ambushing and eliminating the 14th Army Labor Battalion. The Confederate Army was sent to secure the frontier and would capture major Texas strongholds such as Austin and Fort Worth, though Houstin held out until the very end of the war on September 8th, 2214 when Texas was annexed into the Confederacy, though a Texas government and army in exile was formed. 
==Background==
In the latter half of the 22nd Century, the cities of Houstin, Fort Worth and Austin were claimed by surviving humans that were spared death from the horrors of the Great War and would go one to build new settlements and communication lines eventually founding the Second Texas Republic in 2188. By the start of the 23rd century, most of fomer Texas was claimed by the Second Republic, though large parts were contested between militias, commonly known as the Frontiermen, or lacked proper administration beyond a regional council. 
By 2204, the New Confederate States was formed and began expanding taking the former states of Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Arkansas and other former Southern States. By 2212, most of the former South was taken and now the Confederate Government was eyeing up the Texas Frontier and began sending troops westward to settle unclaimed and contested land. By the summer of 2212, the Confederates had established multiple outposts and forts manned by various infantry regiments and labor battalions made up of slaves pressed into military service for labor duties. 
===Order of Battle===
The Texas Armed Forces mobilized at most around 20,000 soldiers with another 12,000 reservists, mostly militiamen stationed in various bases and forts around the frontier, territories claimed by Texas that were loosely administered. The standing army was stationed in various cities under Texan control and along with the bulk of the armored forces and units the Texas military had. The militia meanwhile managed most cavalry units and were responsible for the initial attacks on Confederate forces. 
The Confederate forces meanwhile mobilized 42,000 soldiers, including many veterans from the Florida Expedition, with another 18,000 reservists. The Confederates had mobilized more men and brought in more vehicles and material, including pre-war tanks and aircraft, along with many makeshift fighter craft. Confederate troops held a numerical and technological advantage, though relied on select veteran units to deal with Texan partisans and militiamen. For the expedition labor battalions made up of slaves forced to do manuel labor for free were brought in and were heavily monitored by white Confederate troops.
