Two weeks ago, the United States of America had been territorially reduced down to just the State of Florida. To the north, Russia had occupied everything above the Mason Dixon line, while the Deep South and the American Southwest were under Portuguese and Indonesian occupation. This was a dark time for the general citizenry, and all expectations were that the United States would soon capitulate in a humiliating surrender. Just across the Florida border in occupied Alabama, PEACE soldiers were already throwing the victory celebrations. What followed instead was a massive US break out that drove Indonesia all the way to the Pacific Coast, and convinced Portugal to withdraw from the war. Indonesia and the United States had come full circle, and the stage was now set for the Battle of California, and the US Army would be are the forefront of this epic clash.

At dawn on 30 August, the 1st Corps took position around Las Vegas while 2nd corps moved into the western marches of Arizona. When the order to attack was given, the Armies forces marched across the border to the sound of heavy artillery fire and intense Indonesian resistance. When the sun finally rose over the battlefield on 31 August, it was clear that this battle was unlike any other the Army had participated in. Hundreds of young Americans, barely of fighting age were seen moving across the battlefield, clutching their Q1 weapons and charging into the face of vicious Indonesian tank assaults. Many other civilians were seen riding their own vehicles and clutching arsenals they bought with their own money. It was an impressive sight, and it was a major morale boost for our troops knowing that the next generation is so determined to fight for their country.

The Indonesians by comparison were utterly shocked by the ferocity of the American attack. As the sun was rising on Jakarta, the 1st and 2nd Corps had already reached Sacramento and Los Angeles respectively. What followed was perhaps one of the most desperate PEACE counterattacks of the war. Burning through thousands of gold, Indonesia desperately attempted push back the main body of the US Army and the thousands of young Americans who had answered the call of their country. By the time the battle finally ended, the Army had been pushed back to Nevada and Arizona. However, the sight of the battlefield afterwards showed that Indonesia paid a heavy price for the action. Looking out over the mountains and plains of California from the border regions, the American troops could see thousands of Indonesian tanks burning like fire flies in the night, while shell shocked enemy troops lay besides their vehicles too exhausted to celebrate. They may not have secured California, but the Indonesian Army had been thoroughly broken in the engagement.

The US Army command staff commends the efforts of our soldiers in the battle, as well as all those private citizens who funded their own battles using their life savings. The contributions of each member of the United States Army and our brave citizens will be the fire that one day liberates our country from occupation.
