The United States would commit INDOPACOM as part of their mutual defense treaty with South Torbia. The American force participation would be designated Rightful Avenger.
Freedonian and South Torbian relations had been gradually deteriorating since the Freedonian junta seized power in a coup in 2011. In November 2025, Lao Yi offshore drilling and aggressive naval exercises had violated South Torbian freedom of the seas since 2013 but things came to a head in April 2nd, 2026 after a South Torbian fishing boat was blown out of the water by cannon fire from a Freedonian Rafale. A day later, the two nations were at war with the STAF launching air strikes with the objective of destroying the Freedonian oil platforms and any forces in their way.
