The joint chiefs of suppression

**The joint chiefs of suppression** is the body of the most senior uniformed leaders in the 5th Army's military and government, that was founded in the aftermath of operation: DAY-BREAK. It is a coalition between the government and military, as it consists of the joint chiefs of staff of the military, the regional border defense force commission, special unit commanders, the OWGRO, the administrator of the armed forces, the overseer of the armed forces and the grand administrator of the 5th Army. Its main purpose is to discuss the military logistics and approach of the second civil war.

## History

The joint chiefs were formed in the aftermath of operation: DAY-BREAK, after the tragic death of administrator X and the outcry for war. Grand administrator Z called upon a meeting for the first time in era 2 history with several high ranking members of the military and government. He held the meeting in Homebase Central, discussing the current situation of the status quo and the decleration of war against the Resistance Initiative. He formally organizes the joint chiefs of suppression with the responsibility of discussing issues that the 5th army were or are to face in the civil war, and how to approach the issue.

The joint chiefs had a meeting in regards of Sector C and B's border falling, and thus Admiral Oli Regan, Sector B's border defense commission director, organized operation: ASSAULT-SAVANNAH after info from the OWISCB surfaced regarding the Resistance targetting checkpoint THELTA on 6211-C. S2 Division commander, special class agent Kaisho Nabara, died from his injuries during the operation, and thus he was replaced by naval command admiral Kengo Matsuda, who subsequently took Nabara's seat in the joint chiefs of suppression. After the fall of the Sector C and B border, it has been reported that the joint chiefs of suppression held a meeting that concluded with the military receiving an increase in defense budget.

Following Naofa Niro's defection, the joint chiefs all unanimously agreed to initiate the contingency operation as a response to not only Naofa's defection but the liability of the sanctioned systems - the Micrea micro cluster - with the intention of fully occupying the systems and prosecute the Royal Family, which would be operation: FAE-SUBMISSION. It would become the largest assault and military operation in Era 2 history, seeing the highest toll of casualties and leaving an entire planet's surface levelled, the joint chiefs were said to have held a meeting about evaluating the outcome.
