This article is concerning the events of the draft from June 3 to June 6 onwards, on a training site established by the Third Party Cult, and to give to the residents in general a report of the events surrounding the battle. While this report was written initially to my unit, I'm leaving this report open for viewing for the non-drafted as well.
Much of the information regarding the draft has been varied, so I will offer a first-hand account and a general report gathered from both the battlefield and the journal logs for everyone to read, and prepare the residents for future battles we may be sent to later.

0800 Hours, June 10, 2531 (Military Calendar) / Luceti.
PREPARATIONS
Upon organization, all units were sent to a variant of the dorms at 0900 hours of June 3, with the warning that every requisition we asked for would have to last until the end of the fourth day of the draft. The Blue Rogues and a few other units organized themselves for their actions in battle, and some of them requested and modified the equipment to be able to carry and use in the establishment of the camp.
At 1300 Hours, all units were sent to combat. The first priority consisted in the establishment of the headquarters at all costs, setting a rendezvous point on a mesa where standing and solid remains of a ruin were located, and drawing maps over the Drafted Journal Network as we advanced. Several units had to push through cultists, vines, uneven terrain, traps, and stone ruins, all the way to the higher grounds, on a site with ample construction remains that could be used by the residents as cover.
Creation of the headquarters on lower grounds, in vines, would have been a strategic disaster. With the flight capabilities of the Third Party, in addition to the rains and the drought that would follow on the last day, the camp would have been impossible to defend. Hence why the entry points were abandoned as soon as all units entered combat.
Cannons, machineguns, mines, spikes, and several other traps were set around and inside the camp, near the walls of the ruins. Some units remained to defend the post along with non-combatants, to treat the future injured in battle and keep food and water available to everyone in the following days.
BATTLE
For the first three days, both the drafted and the Third Party engaged in guerrilla warfare against eachother. The cultists would often rely on surprise attacks and their aerial capabilities to take advantage of the tall trees of the jungle, though our enemy had the advantage of a superior knowledge of the terrain, hence why several traps were set, both of mechanical and personal nature. With the addition of Shift Hunters to their ranks, many of our units were taken by surprise by them.
Another of the dangers were the fauna native to the jungle. Some residents were ambushed by creatures not only listed on the guide, but by others from other worlds that could have been the result of shifts of Luceti that set them on the combat zone. Not only were predators the dangers, though. Many insects and mosquitoes lived in the area, which ended up spreading diseases among many of the drafted.
The Drafted caused many casualties on the enemy, but extended warfare took the toll on several residents, along with the diseases some of them catched in the operation (Many of them not felt until the dormant stage of the illness ended). Combat, along with the diseases catched, would end up causing exhaustion and fever on several combatants, all the way until their return to the village.
With the inability to return to the dorms to rest and request equipment, many residents had to endure sleeping on the environment. Constant battle conditions and the threat of surprise attacks during the night wore the drafted even further.
DEFENSE
On the fourth day, the weather turned for the worse. Winds of very strong nature along with a monsoon hit the combat area, flooding the lower grounds and forcing many of the drafted to abort combat operations they had at the moment. This, along with the exhaustion of combat, disease, and incompatibility shifts, turned offensive movements into a dangerous venture at best.
The enemy slowly gained momentum after the assaults they had received, many of the offensive movements began to be pushed back. The Third Party launched a full-scale attack against the base, with at least ten times the number of combatants noted in the previous draft. All units were immediately ordered to return to the headquarters to aid in the defense of the base. The battle that followed turned into a siege.
Most of the traps laid out were quickly used during the assault; cannons were detonated and disabled, and munitions began to run low; the winds became too unstable for aircraft to operate in, and even some of the non-combatants had to fight at one point during the battle. Priority tasks were the defense of the hospital camp (harboring WIA and sick units from the previous days), and the neutralization of all enemies that had infiltrated the compound.
The siege endured until the day set to end operations, after which all units were transported back to the village.
AFTERMATH
At exactly 0000 hours of June 7, all of the drafted were teleported back to the village in several points, many of them still with the conditions attained in battle. Many of the sick and wounded were transferred to the clinics and given medicaments to fight off the diseases attained while in the area. Many of them still suffer from malaria and yellow fever of various degrees.
Enemy casualty count estimated to be over two thousand, but the result of this operation is debatable: Maps were drawn in the midst of the operation and shared over the Drafted Journal Network, which should be good for at least three months; Friendly casualty count in comparison to the enemy is vast, but the conditions to endure a battle in the rainforest beyond the four days of the operation, in addition to the unexpected numbers of the Third Party Cult, were insurmountable for the amount of drafted to overcome; most importantly, the general objectives to neutralize all enemy personnel and take control of the training grounds could not be accomplished with the ranks sent to battle.
Three residents were reported KIA. Many residents returned sick from the jungles, and some of them are still being treated for malaria and yellow fever as of this report. Count of WIA and ill friendly units is yet to be determined.
