Chryse Regional Command (Syaran: Регионална команда на Крајс, Regionalna komanda na Krajs, abbreviated as PKK) is a military district of the Syaran Commonality Armed Forces responsible for the defense of Syara's province of southern Chryse. The PKK is a joint command of all three branches and consists of elements of the Syaran National Army, Syaran Commonality Navy, and the Commonality Air Force.
Origin
Chryse Regional Command was established in 1989 as part of an international agreement with the Republic of Boreanya, during which both nations agreed to not allow the island's divided status serve as a casus belli for a conflict between the two. Per the agreement, both sides agreed to limit their forces stationed on the island to under 10,000 personnel. A headquarters was established on a former airfield for the Syaran Army Air Corps. Most of the forces stationed on the island were withdrawn during the Zemplen War. Troop numbers were increased during the Midsummer War and later during the Arzell Crisis, but remain under the 10,000-man limit.
Mission
Ostensibly, the mission of the PKK is the territorial defense of Syaran holdings on the island of Chryse, however Syaran forces are more oriented towards a general defensive posture into the Sundering Sea. This includes the deployment of long range anti-ship missile batteries and squadrons of aircraft armed with air-to-ground munitions. The naval forces assigned to the PKK consist heavily of mine-laying ships and surveillance vessels intended to identify and track foreign warships crossing through the Sundering Sea. Syaran forces on the island are also a key element in the passive sonar system the Commonality has established in the Sundering Sea.
It is expected that Syaran forces Chryse will be among the first in the SCAF to be supplied with the XheKal hypersonic anti-ship cruise missile.
Organization
PKK Headquarters is located in Bilozerske. The Headquarters Battalion contains the Senior Commander of the PKK, along with his deputy commander, and branch representatives from each branch of the SCAF. Most of the personnel on the island belong to either the Syaran Navy or Syaran Air Force, with Syaran army troops relatively few in number.
