The government of the Holyn Kingdom began deploying additional mililtary assets to its overseas territory of Skoskie beginning in June 2022. The Holyn government became increasingly worried about spillover of the Kifathe Civil War into its overseas territory of Skoskie. In November 2021, the Skoskie Guard and Holyn Border Guard Service constructed additional fortifications along the border with Kifathe. Refugees from the conflict had attempted to cross the border into Skoskie in December 2021. Border Guards and Police fired tear gas at migrant groups attempting to cross. On 12 December, Július Mokrý, Minister of Public Security, closed the Skoskie border with Kifathe for 90 days. The following day, the border with West Wrutesh was closed.

Upheaval at the border continued despite the formal closing. On 27 December 2021, Minister of Defence Oliver Rezek announced that Holyn Ground Forces personnel would assist in border security duties in Skoskie. 2,000 personnel from the 14th Seperate Motor Rifle Brigade were deployed to Skoskie. They arrived on 5 January 2022, being airlifted by 91st Transport Aviation Brigade and chartered civilian aircraft. A contingent of the 124th Motor Rifle Brigade, based in Skoskie, was deployed alongside the 14th Seperate Motor Rifle Brigade.
