NATO assigned NORTHAG with defence of Northern Germany.
In 1986, the British Army of the Rhine (BAOR) formed the United Kingdom’s main land force contribution to NATO in West Germany, with around 55,000–65,000 troops organized under I (British) Corps. This corps consisted of three armoured divisions (1st, 3rd, and 4th) equipped with Challenger 1 and Chieftain tanks, mechanised infantry in FV432 carriers, artillery units with self-propelled howitzers, and close integration with Royal Air Force Germany for air support. BAOR was embedded within the Northern Army Group (NORTHAG), NATO’s multinational command responsible for defending the North German Plain, the most likely axis of a Warsaw Pact attack. NORTHAG comprised I (British) Corps alongside I (Netherlands) Corps and I (German) Corps, forming a layered, multinational defense structure designed to deter Soviet aggression and hold the line in the event of conflict.
The main player formation consist thus of NORTHAG, and some outside reinforcements. In our case, Sweden has joined NATO and while fighting in the North, will also contribute to LandJut.
The highest ranking player will play as the Commander of BAOR, dual hatted as COMNORTHAG.
