The nation found itself embroiled in a state of civil strife that, since the resignation of its President escalated into political violence at nearly every turn.

As a result, orders had just come down for the permanent relocation of the 3rd Fallschirm-Panzergrenadiere Division "Falke," which Generalmajor Erich von Zehntner commanded into North Tyrol.
Henceforth, the Airborne Mechanized Division would officially act as the Riechscheer's spearhead into any conflict that may potentially emerge on their alpine borders.
