Phase 1
"Operation Ulistar"

On April 19 2024, The Tiernesian Army Forces of the 1st Army Corps, 1st Armored Division, and 23rd Infantry Division were deployed to the Province of Earrach after it fell under the control of the Alterian National Salvation Army. This group had successfully taken over the province by launching coordinated attacks and ambushes that resulted in the defeat of the Government forces. To counter this, the Tiernesian 1st Army Corps, along with the 23rd Infantry Division, were ordered to begin an offensive to the very south of the province.

On May 11th, the Tiernesian Forces of the 1st Armored Division launched a ground attack on the forward defence lines in the eastern part of a major city in the Earrach Province. Though they encountered resistance from the ANSA forces and Telins Mercenary Group, the Tiernesian Forces managed to gain partial control of the area. In the meantime, the Tiernesian Army and the Alterian National Guard joined forces in the Southern Front to wage multiple smaller-scale offensives, resulting in the recapture of at least 12% of the Earrach Province. They also successfully took control of the important southern Earrach Oil Fields, which are now under Tiernesian control. Over the next few months, several small skirmishes occurred between both sides, including the destruction of some ANSA armored vehicles and other clashes in the east of the province of Earrach. The fighting continued until June 2nd.

Phase 2
"Operation Stermvogel ||| Battle for Ermaiza"

On June 5th, the Tiernesian forces launched a joint frontal assault on the ANSA-held city of Ermiaza. Prior to this, the 23rd Infantry and 4th Motorized Divisions had planned to move towards the city from the west quickly. In preparation for the assault, the Elements of the 121st International Brigade launched a well-coordinated attack on outlying villages and hilltops that were believed to be under ANSA control. This daring and unsupported attack by the 121st International Brigade successfully eliminated any potential threats and enabled the 23rd Infantry and 4th Motorized Divisions to launch their combined attack on the city.

At 10:12 AM on June 5th, the 4th division arrived and Tiernesian artillery and aircraft began bombarding the ANSA forces in the southern suburbs of Ermiaza. Meanwhile, the 17th Jeplanlonian, which was transferred from the ongoing conflict in Jeplanlonia, attacked the ANSA positions around the Islast Valley, opening a second front to divert any possible reinforcements. The fighting continued for a period of 10 days, from June 5th to June 14th, and the Tiernesian forces suffered heavy casualties as they approached the city. Controlled airstrikes from Tiernesian Air forces attached to the 71st Attack Squadron were carried out, and additional reinforcements of the 106th Infantry Division arrived to retake several villages east of Ermiaza outskirts. This led to the 4th Motorized Division moving into Ermiaza proper as the 121st International Brigade captured six more villages to the south and west of Ermiaza and seized control of several major roads and landmarks on the 16th of June. This allowed Tiernesian forces to prepare for an offensive to retake Ermiaza itself.

On June 19th, the Tiernesian forces launched a military operation to capture Ermiaza. They were supported by the 3rd Alterian National Guard Brigade, the 23rd, 17th, and 16th Infantry Divisions, as well as artillery and air assistance. The ANSA forces put up a strong resistance, mainly located in the southeastern district, and their command center was at the Starspan Mall. The battle lasted 11 hours, with both sides fighting fiercely, and the Tiernesian forces eventually captured the mall. However, the ANSA militants refused to surrender and continued fighting. On the Northern approach, the 4th Motorized Division, with the support of the 121st International Brigade, faced ANSA militants who used irregular tactics and improvised armored vehicles to stop their advance. Tiernesian Forces would control the following day after heavy fighting within the Southern and eastern Districts as continued fighting occurred through the streets heading into old districts of Ermiaza till the 20th of June. By June 21 to the 22nd of June, a significant number of Ermiaza's Southern Districts, around 90%, and Eastern Districts, ranging from 60% to 70%, have been cleared of militants. However, efforts to remove the remaining Alternian National Salvation Army militants in the South of Ermiaza are still ongoing. Despite that, the army has successfully repelled a counterattack from the "17th National Motorized Brigade" of the Alterian National Salvation Army, which resulted in the loss of 61 armoured vehicles in its attempts to drive by Tiernesian Forces.

Within the northern front in Ermiaza continues to experience fighting, with the most intense clashes occurring in the Jalvinal District. The 17th Jeplanlonian National Guard Brigade, along with the 106th Infantry Brigade, managed to clear the residential buildings of Marmoun district and retake the University of Ermiaza on June 19th. In addition, the 4th Motorized Division has successfully taken complete control of the river banks in the city's southern part along the Hastaku River.

From the 23rd of June to the 1st of July, the Tiernesian forces launched a series of well-planned and coordinated offensives against the ANSA forces. The Tiernesian army deployed its troops on all fronts and began to slowly push the ANSA forces towards the center part of the city. The Tiernesian forces utilized various strategies such as destroying remaining ANSA positions via Airstrikes, taking historical sites, and other important positions, as heavy clashing began in earnest throughout these 7 days. The Tiernesian army forces launched several successful offensives that significantly weakened the ANSA forces forcing them driving into the center districts. From Tiernesian Col. Kezman E. Fayolle stated that only four square kilometres of the city remained under ANSA control.

By the 2nd of July Tiernesian Army Forces had seized the last bastions while the remaining forces of the ANSA surrendered the very next day. Tiernesian Minister of Defense Kilovac J. Lorenoz formally declared victory in Ermiaza has been established.
