Shihan Advisory and Assistance Deployments

The Ministry of Defence and Imperial Office, has decided to take measures to ensure that our valued allies, the Republic of Shiha, a new observer state to the Nilirian Alliance is adequately protected in the face of foreign aggression. With the blessings of our esteemed ally, we have agreed upon three points of our cooperation. 
1. Officers from all combat-branches of the Imperial Armed Forces in their respective fields will be sent to the Republic of Shiha in order to advise and train the officers and enlisted of the Shihan Armed Forces. 
2. Elements of the Third Fleet will be deployed for joint fleet exercises with the Shihan Navy and Marines to practice cooperation and work on cohesion with our esteemed partners. 
3. The Fifteenth Army will be transferred from Port Katharina and deployed to Shiha in order to reaffirm our firm belief and commitment in ensuring the continued sovereignty of the Shihan nation-state. They will be placed in Overseas Command. 
With these deployments and advisory missions, we confirm our belief that whilst it is not our place to interfere in the affairs of sovereign nations. We will always defend our valued allies and members of our great and noble alliance. We hope that cooler heads will prevail and the international structure that was forged after a terrible war will be maintained.
