PRESIDENTIAL DIRECTIVE
_______________

A DIPLOMATIC, ECONOMIC AND MILITARY RESPONSE TO THE OFFENSIVE OF THE FROST EMPIRE IN REIZEN ISLAND AND COMMUNIST INSURGENCE IN REIZEN

 

 

1. Access to the Southeastern Continent of the South Pacific and the security of our allies and backed groups in the area are vital to Bzerneleg's national security. It is a long-standing policy of the Government of Bzerneleg that it remains committed to defending and promoting its national interests abroad and specifically the Southeastern Continent, after Bzerneleg's involvement in the Reizen Civil War, if highly necessary through the use of military force, against powers with interests inimical to our own. The Frost Empire, whom we had established diplomatic relations with, by virtue of its recent attacks against the Reizen Democratic Coalition and its support of the Workers' Party of Reizen, has increasingly become an obstacle to our mission and operations in the Reizen Civil War. Although economic sanctions have been put in place and will have a somewhat significant impact on our adversaries, it is not enough to accomplish the objective of establishing a long-term democratic and pro-capitalist government in Reizen. There is no sign or evidence that it will happen in the near future. Moreover, prolonging the current situation would be detrimental to Bzerneleg in that it will increase the costs of eventual military action, threaten the integrity and political cohesion of the Reizen Democratic Coalition, and allow for continued territorial gains by other factions and states involved in the Reizen Civil War. This directive sets forth guidelines for the defense of Bzerneleg's vital interests in the region in the face of Frost hostility and communist expansion in Reizen.


2. Pursuant to my powers and responsibilities under the Constitution as President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, and under the laws and treaties of Bzerneleg, and in accordance with the rights and obligations of Bzerneleg under international law, including WF Resolutions 4 and 7, and consistent with the right to collective self-defense affirmed in Clause 1, Section A, Article I of the Charter of the World Forum, I hereby authorize military, diplomatic and economic actions to safeguard the Reizen Democratic Coalition's territory in Reizen Island from aggression by other states and factions, promote the Coalition's standing in the region, and prevent communist expansion in Reizen. This authorization is for the following purposes:

           a. to force the complete termination of the Frost military offensive in Reizen Island and the withdrawal of all Frost forces from the island; 

           b. to regain the entirety of Reizen Island and seize other attainable locations in Reizen;

           c. to diminish the WPR and RIM and make the RDC the strongest faction in Reizen; 

           d. establish, secure and safeguard a democratic and pro-capitalist government in Reizen; and

           e. prevent a communist government and limit communist and socialist presence in Reizen.


3. To achieve the above purposes, Bzerneleg and the RDC should seek to:

           a. defend the RDC and other Bzerneleg-backed groups from attack;

           b. block and destroy all supplies towards the RIM, WPR, and its affiliates;

           c. destroy the RIM and WPR's command, control and communication capabilities;

           d. prevent the RIM, WPR, and its affiliates from acquiring chemical, biological and nuclear weapons;

           e. orchestrate the capture and assassination of RIM, WPR and Frost officials in Reizen;

           f. gather international support for liberty and democracy in Reizen;

           g. destabilize countries which are found to be supporting the RIM, WPR, and its affiliates;

           h. conduct operations designed to lessen the strength, break the will and encourage defection of enemy forces, and weaken Frost support for the WPR;

           i. weaken and destroy the economic and financial capabilities of enemy forces; and

           j. deploy spies into enemy forces and countries to gather intelligence for efficient planning formulation.


4. While achieving the purposes in Clause 2 above and carry out the missions in Clause 3 above, every reasonable effort should be taken to:

           a. minimize Bzerneleg and RDC casualties;

           b. take special precautions to minimize civilian casualties and damage to non-military economic infrastructure; and

           c. maintain positive diplomatic relations with the Frost Empire, Sedunn and other allies involved in the Reizen Civil War.


5. Bzerneleg shall seek the maximum participation of the RDC and other partners in all aspects of operations in Reizen. Valuable information and intelligence shall be frequently exchanged confidentially between the parties previously mentioned.


6. Bzerneleg will encourage La Ascensión to increase their forces along its border with Reizen so as to draw off resources devoted to the RIM, WPR, and its affiliates to the Reizen theatre of operations.


7. Bzerneleg recognizes the territorial integrity of Reizen and will not support efforts to change current boundaries, unless I, along with the head of the RDC, shall deem it necessary.


8. Any request for assistance made by the RDC to Bzerneleg will be approved unless it is deemed as contradictory to our national interests.


9. Bzerneleg and the RDC shall not commit hostile actions against each other and strive to operate collaboratively.  


10. Should the RIM, WPR and its affiliates resort to using chemical, biological or nuclear weapons, be found supporting terrorist acts against Bzerneleg, the RDC or certain other allies anywhere in the world, it shall become an explicit objective of Bzerneleg to consider it as an act of war and completely eliminate such groups. If such actions are committed by Agot, Kotci, Bruuma or any other state, it shall become an explicit objective of Bzerneleg to declare war against such state and replace the current leadership thereof.


11. All appropriate Bzerneleg government departments and agencies are to prepare and present to me, for decision, measures necessary to achieve the purposes in Clause 2 above.


12. All operations will only come to an end only when I have determined that the objectives set forth in Clause 2 above have been met.
