Zenek forces have launched a para military attack on the UK and small pockets of enemy forces have been identified in various locations. The 2nd Battalion of the Zenek guards are thought to be in the Dartmoor area with a view of taking control of the Okehampton range area and training camp. This is a key location for the enemy as vital supplies can be cut off to the rest of the UK effectively cutting off the SW region and placing several civilians in harms way. Orders have been passed down to Taunton School CCF to move rapidly to the Okehampton Camp in order to limit the movement of Zenek forces and remove them from the SW. 1 Company of Taunton Army section have been deployed. 3 platoons worth of cadets have now arrived in Okehampton Camp and are awaiting orders.
