S. Reid, H. Sommerville, J. Harlington

[BAF Admiralty Board]

Officers,

Following my review of active and serving Flag Officer appointments, I have seen fit to make new appintments.

Henceforth:

• Reid, Samantha - You shall be promoted to the rank of Admiral and posted to executive officer of Oversector Centre. You will assist me in the organisation and management of the ongoing Dublin Campaign.
  
• Sommerville, Harold - You will be reinstated at the rank of Admiral, and assigned command of Oversector North. You will be responsible for further understanding of the Jump Drive, including the recent leaks. In addition, I would like you to oversee our task force assigned to the Crayter led operation against the Gallic annoyance. I'm sure under your watchful eye, we will someday be rid of it.
  
• Harlington, James - You will be promoted to the rank of Admiral and assigned command of Oversector South. You will additionally be assigned the overview of our supplies to the Dublin offensive, and as such will be given sufficient Merchant Navy resources to acomplish this goal.
  
  I know you all to be capable officers, and I trust that you will each accomplish you assigned tasks with the skill and grace expected of competent Bretonian officers. Rest assured, your postings have been agreed and ratified with the MOD, and you should get to work post haste.
  
  Good luck each of you. I will expect regular reports on your progress.

Yours, in service to Her Majesty the Queen,

Lord Admiral M. O'Brian, First Sea Lord
Lord Oakington of Cambridge
Armed Forces Command

Esteemed Lord Admiral O'Brian,

I shall do my utmost in defence of the Kingdom, so help me God. I will see to it that not one Gaul steps foot into the Taus once more. I also send my congratulations to Admirals Reid and Harlington respectively on their promotions; may we work together to keep the Bretonian people safe in these turbulent times.

Madame Lord Admiral O'Brian,

Your decision deeply honors me and I promise by Leeds not to disappoint you or the people of Bretonia.
Coordinating Sector South in tight coordination with the HMS-Norfolk fleet is a great honor and I will see to a swift preparation of the Merchant Navy resources falling under my command to secure a continuous stream of supplies for our ongoing campaign. In light of my reassignment, I will take the heavy hearted decision to abandon command of the HMS-Hellbound and request her return to the defensive fleet of New London where she served many years and hopefully serves for many more years to come. If it is deemed appropriate, I wish to request command of the HMS-Ehrgeiz. The versatile nature of the Core's warship design is perfectly suited for the harsh environment of the Omegas and shall play its operational role of a highly mobile tactical command suite better than our own designs.
