Operation Succor I
Top Secret
Humanitarian mission to Congo​

---

Detail

As the intensity of destruction resulted in the invasion by the Imperial State of the Congo over the Republic of Congo, the Thai Government deems Humanitarian aid necessary for the Congolese people. As hundreds of thousands of Republican refugees flee into the Imperial Congo, the Imperial Congo is far from ready to bear the consequences. The Royal Thailand Humanitarian Mission to Congo is the second time the Thai Government has decided to step on the African continent to support the innocent from a war. The previous mission was on the northern part of South Africa during the Swedish-South African war, where Thailand spent nearly $400 million alone on the expense on a much lower scale than the current one. The Thai government now enters the African continent on another humanitarian mission with a budget that approaches a billion USD and could be more in the future​

Operation Succor I
Thailand
December 2001

---

Operation Succor I has been given the go-ahead by the Defense Ministry to dispatch a Humanitarian Aid Force to the Imperial State of the Congo, consisting of about 11,000 personnel. This mission is the largest overseas deployment in Thailand's history. In addition to security personnel provided by the Royal Thai Army, the Royal Thai Armed Forces and the Thai government have recruited thousands of humanitarian volunteers from across the nation. Although the fate of the Congolese people is far worse, there was a contentious debate in the Thai parliament about whether the budget that should be used for the Thai citizen who owns the country would be worth the scale of this operation. And it's not like Thailand's administration is inefficient. The Royal Thai Navy has recently developed a more contemporary fleet with a further range of amphibious landing capabilities outside its native Southeast Asia. If this agency can successfully project its might and power around the world, it will be put to the test. With over 400,000 personnel in active service of the Royal Thai Armed Forces, merely 10,000 is only half of a division of the Royal Thai Army, and they should not worry about deploying them overseas. Eight thousand Humanitarian volunteers are moving across the country to the Phang-Nga and Phuket Naval bases to board the Endurance-class LPD of the Royal Thai Navy. The Navy has successfully negotiated with its Singaporean counterpart to produce their largest class vessel in the Singaporean Navy. When speaking about the security forces, the Royal Thai Army has provided 500 personnel to the Humanitarian mission to Congo, which makes the total number from 8,000 to 8,500. They are well-trained. They must protect the Thai volunteer from any possible threat, which is already wrong to attack such international volunteers. Half of the personnel are Infantry Company, and the other half is a platoon of the Maintenance, Signal Corp, Combat Engineer, Medical, and Reconnaissance. The Royal Navy also provides a part of the 3rd Frigate Squadron to escort the Auxiliary task that will transport all personnel. With over 2,401 personnel from the Navy, they are sure that there will be no threat during the travel. The Auxiliary fleet will carry much cargo alongside the bulk one on the Endurance-class LPD with supplies of food, medical, water, clothing, and other necessities for Humanitarian aid.

On the other side, the NIA has also intervened in this operation, stating that they must send additional intelligence operatives to Congo to support the existing unit in Kinshasa. They are now sending 30 of them to Congo using the Tanker ship again(Replenisment vessels for the 3rd Frigate Squadron). Although they have no intention to infiltrate Congo, they are only there for news gathering so they can have an insight into the situation. Given that the Thai Government might notify the Congolese government about the intelligence operation, they unquestionably have no malicious intent. The Thai Prime Minister is the head of the organization, yet he is not entirely the boss of the NIA, as there is still someone who is the director of this agency, and his identity is little known to the public.

The personnel in this operation are well-trained, well-educated, has strong physical and health conditions. They are all equipped with the most advanced and convenient equipment and clothing assigned to each role as per standard gear of the Royal Thai Armed Forces, National Intelligence Agency guidelines on equipment, and other regulations of the Humanitarian mission. All GAZ Vodnik is equipment with extra armor plate to defend against penetration 7.62 mm caliber effectively and can reduce the collision damage from 12.7 mm caliber. The Naresuan-class frigate and the Gepard-class frigate are armed with standard loadout. Every piece of equipment is in exceptional condition and maintenance with fully-fuel.

The Humanitarian Aid Force will travel from NJ > MI>LH>LG>KG. They will refuel at the Port of Durban and Port of Richards Bay (This route will take 43 hours OOC time). They will continue to Congo from KG>KF>JF>JG>JH>JI (This will take another 44 hours OOC times).

The Royal Thai Armed Forces Headquarters will notify the Swedish Armed Forces Headquarters regarding its request to resupply at the Port of Durban and Port of Richards Bay. They will also stay in the territorial water of South Africa for a safe route Connor. The Royal Thai Armed Forces Headquarter will notify The Congolese Government and its Armed Forces Headquarters when they begin the operation Kelly the Mad.

Note The Operation will commence on 18th March 2001 as the relocating time of the equipment and vessel.

Operation Succor I
Thailand
December 2001

---

The preparation of Operation Succor I has finished with the only flaw or mistake made by the Royal Thai Navy is that they don't meet the expectation to deliver the entire 17 Endurance-class LPD on time, making only 16 of the fleet available. The Royal Thai Humanitarian Aid Froce will have to depart with only 7,500 Humanitarian volunteers and 500 army personnel, with the remaining will follow them later. The fleet of 16 Endurance-class LPDs, 4 Tanker 23000, 6 Naresuan-class frigates, and 2 Gepard-class frigates, a total of 10,406 personnel, will use the route of NJ>MI>LH>LG>KF>JF. They will stop at JF to refuel and resupply at the Saldanha Naval Base of the Swedish Armed Forces in South Africa. The travel time is estimated to be around 60 OOC hours as the Endurance-class LPD has to maintain their speed below 12 kn to reach the Naval Base without risking the fleet's fuel shortage before they arrive to replenish.

The final Endurance-class LPD has now prepared to leave the Phang Nha Naval Base with the assistance of a fifth Tanker 23000, which will refuel the ship so it can travel at its top speed to reassemble with the fleet of the Humanitarian Aid Force before returning to its home base. Every crew member on board the Humanitarian Aid Force will have a daily schedule for learning the Congolese language and culture to acclimate to the unfamiliar setting in Central Africa. NIA agents on the tanker will regularly communicate with the NIA unit in Kinshasa on the journey to obtain any information or intelligence they can. The Thai government will also inform the Congolese government that it is sending 500 Fourth Indochina War veterans to the country as a security force, emphasizing that they are prepared to engage in armed conflict with any intruders who might raid the refugees. The 3rd Frigate Squadron will always be on high alert, especially since they have to escort and protect the lives of 8,000 humanitarian volunteers. They will regularly report their position to the Swedish Armed Forces every five hours. Their two last notifications will be when they are five and two hours away from the Saldanha Naval Base, per their doctrine regarding communication between each task force and each unit in the Armed Forces. (With the estimation, the fleet will reach the Saldanha Naval Base on 20th March 2023, based on GMT+7).

Route: NJ>MI>LH>LG>KF>JF.

The Humanitarian Aid Force had reached the Saldanha Naval Base on the coast of South Africa, Swedish administration. They had notified their position when there were five and two hours from the Naval Base and not a fleet of 17 Endurance-class Landing Platform Dock, 6 Naresuan-class frigates, 2 Gepard-class frigate, 4 Tanker 23000, and 10971 personnel were on the African continent. There would be a radio communication from the Thai Fleet toward the Saldanha Naval Base. "Saldanha Naval Base, this is the Humanitarian fleet to Congo of the Republic of Thailand. Requesting permission to enter your waters and approach your port for replenishment." Once they had permission from that authority, the fleet would proceed toward the Naval Base and anchor there as the Swedish had directed. Many employees and volunteers would emerge from their lodgings as the fleet drew near the Naval Base to take in the scenery and the country of South Africa. As they approached Saldanha Bay, they would see plain hills in the distance, providing many opportunities for group photos on board the vessels. On the deck of the Endurance-class LPD, Naresuan-class frigate, and Gepard-class frigate, many sailors would line in an organized line. Giving the salute to South African personnel who support them so they can continue their journey, they would quickly perform their replenishment mission swiftly to not interfere with the local traffic. When observing the escorting vessels, there was a Kamov Ka-226 on each frigate. At the same time, NIA operatives on a Tanker 23000 would step on the deck as many performed replenishment tasks. They would take out their cameras to record the situation with photographs and video. With their NIA uniform, the South African or the Swedish could easily spot them on the deck of a Tanker 23000, given that there was no threat to them. Connor

When the Humanitarian fleet finished their replenishment task, they would sincerely appreciate the Swedish and South African support in their mission before leaving the Saldanha Naval Base and heading to the undersized Banana port of the Imperial State of the Congo. They would remain in the South African territorial waters for a safe passage before heading the international waters. They would take the route of JF>JG>JH>JI. (There would arrive on 21st March 2023, 17.17 based on GMT+7.)
