Exercise TRIOC 2014
Exercise TRIOC 2014 is the 51st iteration of the largest military exercise in Eordis. It was held in Samcheok, Joyonghea from 22 June to 7 July 2014, with 24 out of 67 nations participating.
The exercise involved a diverse range of operations requiring ground, naval, and aerial tactics with the primary purpose to increase operational and tactical proficiencies of the participating contingents. The program covered 130 live-fire events revolving around the command and control of ground troops, special operations, amphibious landings, close air support, drone strikes, counter-piracy, counterterrorism, surface-to-air engagements, air-to-air engagements, sinking exercises, ordinance disposal, anti-surface warfare, undersea warfare, and cyberwarfare. The events were categorized into three phases, all taking place in an around the Okita Hanamura Barracks, Roy Peterson Joint Operations Headquarters Command, Namgung Wook-yun Joint Air Force Base, Haepo Bay and the Mungcheok Islands.
The event was met with controversy from the Federal Union Association, which perceived it as provocative towards Lorica and the Nanja Republic. Before the exercise occurred, numerous warnings were issued by the FUA to deter participating nations from partaking in the event, but went unheeded. The incentive to proceed stems from the rift between the FUA and a faction of nations openly opposed to the former's transition to a centralized world government; in particular, the Joyonghean government advocated for the excerise to situate in Samcheok in expression for their aggravation at the FUA measures applied against Nanja for the Bombardment of the Gimhung Islands. As the exercise went underway, the FUA was quick to condemn it in FUA Special Session 85, with delegations from Lorica and Nanja being most vocal. Consequently, the FUA recognized Lorica's claims in the Sea of Quenmin and raised Nanja's nuclear quota in FUA General Mandate 85/3 and FUA Security Mandate 85/276, respectively, and the measures served to advance tensions which lead to the FUA Crisis.
