Greetings,

Having been tasked with setting this up, I now present the operation and its details, attached below. Logistics personnel, use this frequency as a reporting terminal for all supply runs made. Your escorts may be informed about some aspects, but strictly on a need-to-know basis. Contact an Admiral or one of our Logistics Corps Heads for any necessary clarification.

HSJ Operation Details

Operation
Hop Skip and a Jump

1. Security Clearance
   
2. Admiralty
   
3. Logistics Corps
   
4. Quartermaster
   
5. Widerstand Oberst

Operation Description
Our Bundschuh connections from Rheinland, the Vereinigte Widerstandsarmee, are in need of support. While the war between us and Rheinland has begun to cool down, the Widerstand are facing some hard times.

We know that if their party's paramilitary is frequently found fighting the Federal Republic alongside us, news of such may possibly damage their political standing. As such, this is a non-combat oriented operation. Our Logistics Ships will be making vital supply runs to the Bundschuh at Cloppenburg Base, a hidden installation of theirs inside the Bremen Star System.

Logistics Transports are advised to take escorts for self defense or as distractions to divert hostile elements away. If this operation becomes revealed to the Rheinland Military, they will undoubtedly make it harder for us to complete it. Naturally, escorts should be from the Liberty Navy, Security Force, or Bundschuh only.

We ran a convoy this time, myself using the newly constructed Shockoe Slip. It's a fine ship, hopefully it will serve well in the future as well. I'm not going to mention the horrible interior design though...
