Joint Exercise Amphibious Assault



Joint Exercise Amphibious Assault (JEAA) is a biennial joint Zolevskoy-Vazandian. JEAA takes place during other major exercises between the Republic of Zolevskoy Armed Forces and the Imperial Republican Armed Forces, including Joint Exercise Air Warfare and Joint Exercise Ground Warfare. The exercises typically take place on the Fayrva and Torka islands.

Due to the exercises taking place in Zolevskoy, it is usually the host country, rather than Vazandia which hosts all other joint exercises between the two states. Eight exercises have been held in the years 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2018.

As the exercises continued to grow in scale and move closer to VP and VSO-aligned states such as Ordia and Gjevuri respectively, it began to draw more attention and has created some controversy. Although both Vazandia and Zolevskoyan claim that the exercises are not meant to simulate an unprovoked attack, it has still caused some anxiety. Although unconfirmed, there are conspiracy theories that the Joint Exercises are used by Zolevskoy to test experimental weaponry.
