Arab Confederation policemen find some artillery left behind by the Germans up in the mountains. AC military has seized the weapons and begun to reverse engineer them.
The AC begins fortifying Birim Island with bunkers and artillery. It's an actual island between Arabia and Djibouti, just inside of where the Red Sea meets the Indian Ocean. Naval shipyards are also being constructed at Aden, a town a bit under 200 miles to the east on the coast of the Arabian Sea.
