Operation Iron Guardian
Operation IRON GUARDIAN is a DATE-Caucasus land campaign. IRON GUARDIAN is designed for individual training requirements, and is centered around the sudden escalation of a low intensity local conflict. It is constructed to provide all the necessary tools for exercise designers to create deep and layered exercise scenarios. This scenario sees Australia as part of a US-led multi-national force against a near peer rival (Ariana) fighting in Atropia.
Why we are here
Countries in this scenario

The Islamic Republic of Ariana, the area’s second-largest and second-strongest nation militarily, possesses massive oil and gas reserves in its southwest region along the Persian Gulf.

The Republic of Atropia is vulnerable because of its natural resources and as a result of conflicts over its province of Lower Janga.
