LDDK renewed its platoon structure to an airborne, specially trained force for demanding tasks which consist of three similar infantry squads.

Platoon moves around using helicopters and focuses mainly on airborne operations.
In addition each squad specialises in one of three fields: Air, Sea and Land

1st Squad -Air: Rappelling and paradrops
2nd Squad -Sea: Water crossings, amphibious landings and diving
3rd Squad -Land: Armed and unarmed vehicles, urban warfare

Autumn season of LDD Kyllikki started on 2 September with a daring and eventually successful rescue mission to save lieutenant Pomi from Agia Marina after a strong force of "green men" occupied the town and took him as a hostage while he was shopping.

To continue the season, LDDK will play a 3-part open co-op campaign "Reasonable Use of Force". Campaign dates will be 9 September, 16 September and 23 September. The games start at 21:00.

Open for all Finnish-speaking players. No early sign-ups, just show up.

Ltn Raunhofer has relinquished command of Local Defence Detachment Kyllikki. He has been succeeded by yliv Broileri, a former commander of ten years.



Ltn Raunhofer has been awarded with 4. luokan Vapaudenristi (VR4) for demonstrating excellent leadership capabilities and acting in the best traditions of the detachment whilst carrying the heaviest burden of responsibility in LDDK over the last more than two years. During ltn Raunhofer's command the detachment has seen a variety of technical and organizational advancements as well as steadfast tactical success in combat. The platoon is grateful for ltn Raunhofer's efforts and happy for his continuing work for the good of the detachment.

For this year's traditional summer meeting, LDD Kyllikki assembled in Kinnula.



This year the meeting consisted of efforts to change history, card-based insults and patrolling in the swamp.

Kapt Psykoisi, yliv Broileri, ylik Charlie Frank, ylik Scottz, kers Jarger, kers HaBa, kers Kuokkanen, alik Strat, korpr Ukka, korpr Shuko, korpr Nouty, korpr Pionjaer and korpr Vultyr have been awarded Talkootyön Ansiomitali for participating.

Operation Homeland Liberation continues.

By the order of President Donald Trump the United States Armed Forces have occupied our home island of Altis only to replace the standing government with the American president's own twisted version. Claiming that the occupation is due to corruption in our government, the invaders are quite clearly interested in only the vast lithium deposits in our soil.

Our task is to take back our homeland and help the elected government back to power. The campaign started in November 2017 with large-scale artillery strikes and landing operations, and we have secured a foothold on the island.

The campaign is open for all Finnish-speaking players. Sign up now on our Discord channel!

More information about the campaign.

A traditional squad meeting in Kannus, Central Ostrobothnia, was held in the beginning of March. Time was well spent playing board, card and sauna games while enjoying refreshments and delicacies. Local cuisine, habits and leisure time activities were once again met with fascination and awe. Even without an active officer present, the participants maintained squad ethos and etiquette par excellence.

Ylik Charlie Frank, kers Haba, Scottz and Kuokkanen as well as kapt Psykoisi, kers Jarger and alik Strat were awarded with Talkootyön Ansiomitali (TA) for participating.
