Halland City, Halland – The Halland Military has added a new Infantry Division according to sources. The 5^th Mechanized Infantry Division (pictured above) has finally been added after a yearlong process.

"Tight military budgets have really put a strain on our resources,” stated an anonymous official. "We had been planning on adding two Infantry Divisions this year which was the 4^th and the 5^th; however, the 5^th Division came to fruition first.”

According to sources, the 5^th Infantry Division is a fully mechanized infantry division in which light infantry are transported by combat vehicles and armored personnel carriers (APC’s). In addition, large howitzers accompany this Division which increases the Division’s fire power.

From a personnel standpoint, the 5^th Mechanized Infantry Division consists of approximately 2 Brigades unlike the other Infantry Divisions which boast 3 Brigades in each. The military personnel in this Division will consist of the tan uniform commonly used in Halland but with brown helmets.

"I would suspect that within the next 5 years, all of our Infantry Divisions will be mechanized and modernized,” stated the anonymous official. "Currently the 3^rd and now the 5^th Divisions are mechanized but already our Military is looking at other options. This Division is very unique in that it most likely is the most powerful infantry Division within the Hall Nations as far as fire power is concerned.”

It is unclear at this point as to where this Division will deploy but sources say it will be sooner rather than later.

Currently, the 1^st Infantry Division is stationed at the DMZ. The 2^nd Infantry Division is deployed near the border of Hall Republic but will soon be relieved by a reserve force. The 3^rd Mechanized Infantry Division is to the North of McDonaldland overlooking Halland’s Western coast line.
