This briefing is a summary briefing as a follow up report on the Bering situation. Additional patrols have been conducted in the area by assets assigned from available reserves. In particular, a complete survey of the system and its current status has been initiated, with Phase I progressing well throughout operations so far. Summary Report of Phase I progress since last transmission is listed in #Entry 1.
Entry: #1
Completion of Phase I of Systematic Survey proceeded on schedule despite high tensions and significant numbers of disturbances. In particular of note is a demonstrable increase of Liberty Navy assets operating in the area - though none were, as of yet, observed violating the agreement boundaries - despite reports to the contrary. Heavy engagements between unlawful elements continue sporadically. During the course of the system sweep, so far 4 Installations have been catalogued which appear to be in violation of several articles of Rheinland law. In particular, one of these installations has been identified as a suitable location for forward operating patrols.
Entry: #2
During the course of patrols and survey operations in southern Bering the RWK-Cospeda, escorted by the [RM]Hoellenfeuer and the [RM]Wolfenstein, encountered a number of clear indications of the increase in activity and tension in the area. Identified elements include Liberty Rogues, Unioners, Liberty Navy, Liberty Security Force, Auxesian Mercenaries, Harmony, Commune as well as assorted individuals representing freelancer, junker and other interests. Further monitoring is clearly warranted; although the patrol did encounter a BDM operative - normally a routine operation, but operative appeared to be in the area specifically to observe and/or interrupt Rheinwehr operations. After some reminders of his duty, he eventually identified himself and his purported purpose, before our duty required us to continue on with our work.
Notable encounters include:
Extensive Auxesia Forces, including Heavy Ships operating on the edges and within Rheinland's claim, in particular in the area of Sector 5C.
LN-Abe, An Officer of the liberty navy broadcasting on wideband, with the apparent intent of selling a restricted weapon
Liberty Navy Assets: Long range scans indicate several vessels operating on the Liberty side of Bering, including LNS-North Bridge, LN-Abe, LNS-Serenity.
Concentrations of Harmony forces around Freeport 2.
Entry: #3
Unrelated to the Bering Investigation, I am pleased to be able to report that wings of bombers were able to continue to respond to active threats within Rheinland without difficulty. Notably, our forces responded to the appearance of two Coalition capital vessel - a gunboat and a battlecruiser - in the Hamburg system. Thanks in part, perhaps, to the intoxication of the crew - they were dispatched with ease. Honor of the kill goes to the skilled pilot of the Regular Forces [RM]Wolfenstein.
