OPENING CEREMONY
Caspian City Stadium, March 10 2022
PA: "Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the Opening Ceremony of the 2nd Remembrance Day event live here at Caspian City Stadium this 10th of March 2022. Today, we will witness spectacular presentations and performances, as well as exhibitions from the military and other groups. For now, let us stand for the arrival of His Majesty the King and sing the Royal Anthem."
HM Band of the Royal Marines begin playing "God Save the King" as everyone stands to sing. The Royal Carriage comes in with the Household Cavalry. King George comes out and the military salutes him as he proceeds to the viewing area. The music ends exactly as the King arrives at his seat. The Prime Minister then welcomes him.
PA: "Please remain standing, for the arrival of the colours and the national anthem."
A colour guard marches in with the country's flag and arrives at the pole. They tie the flag to the ropes and hold the end to prevent from touching the ground. Later on, the national anthem, "I Vow to Thee my Country", begins playing. Everyone sings, including the king while the military remains in salute. The flag is then raised while the anthem is played and sung. In the background, gun salutes from the Royal Horse Artillery are heard from inside.
PA: "We may now be seated. At this moment, may we please welcome the Prime Minister and give him a round of applause as he takes the podium."
Simon proceeds to the podium and stands for a speech, the audience give him a round of applause.
SB: "Thank you, thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, today and in the coming days we celebrate and commemorate our fallen brothers who gave up their lives to keep our country strong and free. Our military and frontline services who have long vowed to keep us safe, and have made the greatest sacrifice throughout the years of our country's existence. When we decided on the creation of a day to commemorate these sacrifices, we chose the anniversary of the communist insurgency because of the miracle of which our nation was spared by god from succumbing to authoritarian and violent rule. It shows our strength and determination to keep our country stable and free from foreign interference. We have strived to keep ourselves as a progressive country, aiming to establish ourselves as an equal to other powerful nations."
"My fellow countrymen, we have made our country propel itself to the larger stage of great powers. And for this we must be proud, for we have succeeded in keeping our strong identity as a nation of people that is determined to succeed in all the challenges we face. Such was, and would, never be possible without our courage and unity despite our differences and misunderstandings. Yet, there are still situations where we must pay the ultimate price to save our national identity and integrity from falling to foreign aggressors."
"With this, I call on everyone to join me for a minute of silence to honour our lost relatives and friends who gave themselves for the progress that we have achieved and still hope to achieve for a long time."
Everyone lower their heads and remains silent for some time before clapping their hands in the end.
"Our unity is not simply derived only by our self-determination, to which I invite everyone to clap their hands and thank His Majesty the King for remaining with us in times of crises to boost our morale. Long may you reign, your majesty! God Save the King!"
Everyone claps their hands and stands for the King. Simon returns to his seat and shares a handshake with the king.
PA: "Thank you for your very meaningful speech Mr. Prime Minister. Now, let us all welcome His Majesty the King for his address. Let's give him a big round of applause."
George comes to the podium and begins speaking.
GR: "Thank you, please be seated. My fellow Reitzmics, we have gathered here to remember those who have left us serving our country. Throughout the years, we faced many conflicts and challenges as a nation. We remained united, and this unity kept ourselves strong and intact. Our first responders, the armed forces, and many individuals put their lives at risk. In the last communist insurgency, we stood despite the overwhelming attacks of the insurgents. We responded to them with our kindness, and this made them realize that war is not necessary. Days after the conflict, they surrendered and we went back to our normal lives. That is until our nation became a battleground between foreign powers, to which had cost us a lot. Despite this, our diplomatic approach paid off. And now, we are standing on a new global city that quickly rose from the ashes with the help of our foreign partners."
"All this, proves that we are a nation independent and strong. And that we will never submit to other nations that will attempt to take us over. Our armed forces here, are one of those groups that had vowed to help us in our mission and vision. For that, may you and your families live long, strong, and free. Congratulations to you all, and may god bless you!"
The audience gives a big round of applause and stands. The military contingents then start shouting "만세!", which means Long Live, three times. The band then begins playing marches and the formations position themselves for the parade.
PA: "A wonderful speech by His Majesty the King, may you also live long. Let us now witness the spectacular performances of our acts today, we will start with our Armed Forces."
The parade starts with the Army. The Chief of Defence Staff on horseback approaches the viewing area where the King is and gives his salute by presenting his sabre. The King receives his salute and the parade proceeds. All soldiers wear their Honour Guard or Full Dress uniform. First to come forward are soldiers in the King's Guards Uniform with their most senior officers leading each formation. The band begins playing the regimental march of each passing formation in sync with their passing in front of the King.
Three formations wearing the well-known red uniform pass by. Behind them come soldiers wearing the Oriental Honour Guard Type 2 Uniform led by their superiors and their traditional band.
Three formations wearing the uniform also pass. Behind them are soldiers wearing the Oriental Honour Guard Type 1 Uniform led also by their superiors.
Behind them come the cavalry forces on their horsebacks. First comes the Household Cavalry and then the Royal Horse Artillery. The latter takes precedent to the former only when they are pulling their cannons.
After the Army, the Air Force comes in for their march. They give their salutes as they pass in front of the viewing area. The official March Past of the Royal Air Force begins playing.
Behind the three Air Force formations, the Royal Navy follows in the parade. They wear poppy badges on their headgear as part of the celebration. The Navy anthem "Heart of Oak" begins playing and the troops start singing as they march. After the navy, a formation of the Marines follow and their march is played in sync.
After the navy, the reserves and cadets arrive and follow formation. They wear their very distinctive red, yellow, and blue uniform. The band begins playing "겨레여 영원하여라" (English: My Nation Forever) as the troops begin to pass by.
The reserves are the second youngest branch which was created just a few years after the Air Force. Behind them come the youngest branch, the Royal Space Force which was elevated to a Force classification last January. Their march, "Glory of the Empire" begins to play and is used for the first time.
After the ground troops, helicopters fly above with the flags of the military and its branches. Some of them drop colored powder, flowers, and confetti over the stadium.
Back in the ground, the vehicles begin to move in. They start with small utility trucks and then comes the Armoured Personnel Carriers.
After APCs, Infantry Fighting Vehicles, Main Battle Tanks, and Light Tanks then follow behind. Their turrets move to a salute position as they pass by.
Then comes the artillery with the towed and self-propelled howitzers and mortars.
The rocket artillery arrives.
Mobile Anti-air defence systems follow them.
Finally, the space force mobile launchers come in. The band plays the march of the Space Force once again.
After the ground vehicles clear up. The air force and army air corps takes over the show with their aircraft. A distinguishable howl is heard, and the Felon F.15 comes flying over.
More fighter jets also follow along with the Army Air Corps helicopters.
And then, a surprise flight came. It was the first prototype of the Archer II F.16.
UAVs, Special Mission Aircraft, and bombers also follow
Finally, the Red Arrows flies in and breaks formation in the middle.
And the military part has ended. Everyone was amazed at the very big show, and enjoyed the view of the military personnel and equipment. All equipment exited the stadium and went back to their bases.
PA: "What a wonderful performance from our military. Let us now move onto the opening of the Remembrance Day events for this year. Please rise for the official opening event."
A wartorn flag, used throughout many wars and had survived even through the communist insurgency is then brought in and unfurled. A trumpet sounds the "Taps" while the flag is unfurled. The king descends from the viewing area and places a garland of poppies on the base of the pole where the flag is put. A soldier then thrusts a rifle with a bayonet into the ground beside the flag, another one places an old style helmet. Across the stadium from the viewing deck, an eternal flame is lit with the sun's rays. George salutes the flag and the other insignia and heads back to his position. The band begins to play "Auld Lang Syne" and everyone sings. All shout "Manse" five times and gives a round of applause.
The ceremony ends with the band exiting the stadium and everyone leaving.

LIVE FIRE DEMONSTRATION AND EXERCISE
Moreland Desert Range, March 12 2022
PA: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to begin in a few moments. Please keep yourselves seated as we wait for the show to begin. We also advise you to wear your goggles, ear mufflers, and other gear only when instructed. Food and drinks are not allowed to be consumed during the show, so please finish your snacks and drinks as soon as possible. Thank you."
The audience finish filling all seats from the covered temporary bleachers set-up in the desert. The show was set at the right environment, at the right time. It was spring, and so it was not yet too hot at the sand-filled area compared to summer and fall. The guests arrive one by one and are announced by the MC. When the King came, everyone stood up and the Royal Anthem was sung. The program is ready.
PA: "Good day ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Live Fire Demonstration and Exercise here at the Moreland Desert Range as part of the celebration of the 2nd Remembrance Day. Before we officially begin, let us all stand for the National Anthem."
The band begins to play the National Anthem as everyone stands and begins to sing. Troops salute on command by their officers and the colour party proceed to raise the flag on the pole. After which, everyone takes their seat.
PA: "Everyone ,you may now take your seats and wear your specialized headseat ear mufflers and goggles. Please be advised to guide your children on the gear and also refrain from standing up or walking around during the show. We hope you will enjoy the show."
Everyone wears their goggles and ear mufflers, including the Royal Family and other guests. The troops start marching to their positions and clear the way for the acts. Challenger MBT-10 Tanks start to roll in and their engines are heard from the earphones built into the ear mufflers and the sound system around the bleachers. They speed up through the obstacles and proceed to a hull-down position over a ramp. Each tank races to aim their turrets to the targets and successfully hit their marks, something confirmed by the small screens set-up near the seats to show what's happening more upclose. They roll back and raise their turrets as a form of salute, Contender IFV-11 Infantry Fighting Vehicles then move in for their part of the show. To showcase their agility and great mobility, they race through a course while targeting small dummies scattered across the field with their small turrets. Each of them fire their turrets quickly to eliminate the targets and the audience gives a round of applause, then the IFVs move back to give way for the infantry. A truck pulls a makeshift shooting range target wall to the center across the audience, snipers of the SAS then move in with their camouflage outfits to lie down and begin shooting. To make things more interesting, each soldier only has 3 shots available to take down the three targets a kilometer across, the winds wasn't a problem so that should be easy for the snipers. Each of them line their scope crosshairs to the targets and simultaneously fire with all troops taking their targets, the same went for the second and eventually the third. The hits are all verified by the screens that display a close-up view of the targets, the excited audience gives a big round of applause while the snipers move out in a tactical way. The truck carrying the temporary targets move out and clear the way, a pair of Pirate GA.3 ground attack fighters fly in from the left and shoot missiles at old tanks placed as dummy targets giving a big explosion. The two jets go around and start firing their cannons hitting the targets and completely destroying them in a huge fireball, both dump their flares and exit in a dramatic maneuver.
When the jets clear out, everyone focuses on the screens as a Felon F.15 stealth fighter move in to intercept and kill five drones. One by one, the Felon releases its loads while drones rain down over the field crashing. Another pair of drones follow and a simulated dogfight ensues, it kills the first as it drags its nose quickly to fire guns. The other drone was proving a bit of a challenge due to its maneuverability, but the fighter went on to a controlled flat spin and killed the other drone. It escapes from the flat spin and dumps flares while exiting the view, while a Swan B.10 heavy bomber start to come in from the other side. Old equipment and diesel cars are then lined up as targets over the field, the bomber flies in and releases its load. The cars and old trucks went on a fiery demise as the bombs hit them one by one, then the plane exits the field at a supersonic speed leaving behind a loud sonic boom. Back on the ground, engineering trucks clear the field and dispose the destroyed trucks quickly as Cardinal PH-8 self-propelled artillery move in. Each of the howitzers keep position and aim their guns to delete the targets, one by one they fire and completely eliminate the dummies and trucks in a beautiful explosion.
The self-propelled howitzers clear the way and let the Slingshot TH-15 towed howitzers take on their part of the show. One by one they quickly take positions and fire as many shells as possible within a minute while completely deleting the targets on the other side. When the minute timer has stopped, they clear out the way for another act. From the screen, Arrow BM-30 tactical ballistic missile launchers are shown raising their missiles ready for launch to target a small concrete bunker in a distance. At a count of 5, the missile launchers fire one by one and their missiles travel up and to the targets reducing the heavily fortified bunker into dust. Near the bleachers, Meteor RA-12 multiple rocket launchers move in and completely delete the all the remaining targets which excite the audience. The dummies and concrete targets are left to ashes and fly away, the rocket launchers then exit while the audience gives a round of applause.
Helicopters then start coming in, starting with the Viper AH.3 attack helicopters. Each of them fire their missiles at the ground targets while dumping their flares in a dramatic show. They then leave while an Atlas C.17 flies in with paratroopers jumping off to land on the field. The paratroopers land successfully and fire flare signals to complete their short mission, they are brough out of the field by military trucks immediately while Merlin HC.5 helicopters come in to deploy a large assault squad.
After the Merlin helicopters finish deploying its assault squads, they leave the scene quickly and the troops clear the way. Circus MC-5 Self-propelled mortars follow and start firing, they then hit their targets successfully. All then move back once again for the final act.
From the horizon, all the vehicles that participated appear and roll towards the audience. The helicopters also fly in formation with the vehicles, while fighter jets fly overhead with the Red Arrows. They come closer and closer and eventually stop in front of the bleachers, while the planes break formation while dumping flares and coloured smoke and the helicopters land after dumping the confetti. They salute the king and the show ends. Everyone gives a big round of applause with standing ovation for the performance.
PA: "What a very magnificent performance from our Armed Forces, thank you everyone for your attendance to the Live Fire Demonstration & Exercise show here at the Moreland Desert Range. The show has ended, and have a great day."
The audience stands up and proceed to the exit, the VIP audience like the King and Prime Minister leave via helicopters. Some of the audience go proceed to have a closer look at the equipment while some go to their homes. The band starts playing to provide music for the proceeding showcase.
