With winter coming to close, Backatri forces launch a general offensive against rebels in TNA. The offensive is a show-of-force, with tons of ordinance being dropped on rebels wherever they rear their head. Existing TNA forces loyal to Hofbach are bolstered by fresh Backatri troops. The large amount of aircraft and troops needes to carry the fight is apparent in Backatri North Africa, where some armies are down to around 70% of their pre-TNA strength. Approximately 300,000 reservists are being partially mobilized; although any major threat would require a few weeks before Backatri can properly mobilize troops and deploy them in a reasonable state.

On the south border of Backatri, reservists take part in a training excercise. In the atlantic, the Backatri navy also trains, with a destroyer group passing within 5 nautical miles of G&G waters. This is listed as a 'navigation error', although the Backatri Embassy has yet to release an apology in any sense.

Diplomatically, Backatri offers to take in the TNA POWS, citing its close relation to TNA and the relative safety of Backatri (FARC is stuck in the amazon). If the USRR is to send POWs to Backatri, they will be repatriated as is seen fit by the Backatri government.
