Exercise Return of Forces to Bláfjallaríki, commonly known as Exercise REFORB, is an annual bilateral military exercise and campaign conducted by the Gristo-Serkonan and Rökkuringur military forces that begun in 1998. The exercise is intended to ensure that the Royal Gristo-Serkonan Armed Forces has the expeditionary capability to quickly deploy forces to Rökkurlynd in the event of a conflict with Wazheganon and to test the capabilities of the Rökkurlynd Federal Armed Forces against a peer adversary. Because of the Republic of Chênes' policy of neutrality prohibiting transit of military personnel through Chênique territory, Gristol-Serkonos is forced rely on the navy and air force to rapidly deploy forces to assist Rökkuringur troops in the event of a conflict with Wazheganon.

• To test Gristo-Serkonan expeditionary capability of its air force and navy.
