Operation Enduring Sunrise was a Gagian and Narulian military operation that involved the invasion of the nations of Mantocia and Senarwa during the Third Great War. In 1976, Gagium declared war on the Third Coalition, led by Greater Niagara, The Furbish Islands, and Alaoyi, as a result of Inglaterra's invasion of the Niagaran Canal Colony. Acting against increased Third Coalition deployments of soldiers to the León Monarchy, Gagium launched a number of military attacks on Coalition bases on Stratea.

As early as July 1976, Gagian Prime Minister Ulysse Cohen had begun planning an invasion on the nations of Mantocia, Lurona and Senarwa due to their cooperation in providing oil to the Third Coalition. In October 1976, Narulian President TBD met with Cohen to discuss military deployment in the Gulf of Atily, as TBD believed that an outbreak of war on Stratea would result in Senarwa invading the country. During the meeting, both leaders planned an invasion of the three countries that would begin in January 1977. However, correspondance between the Gagian ambassador to Lurona and the Luronan government in December 1976 was able to greatly reduce Luronan oil shipments to Third Coalition powers, thus changing the plans for invasion.

On March 31, 1977 Operation Enduring Sunrise commenced as Gagian forces conducted a naval invasion of Mantocia, and Gagian and Narulian forces began an invasion of Senarwa. Preluding the invasion, Gagian naval forces were briefly confronted by the Furbish Navy in the TBDENCOUNTER. Within the first month of Operation Enduring Sunrise, Laurillac Pact forces were able to successfully seize the Mantocian cities of Rosella and Avendita, as well as the Senar city of Agurik. Meanwhile, Vadurzil, with Narulian support, began a military campaign against Aghankir.
