Equestria: New Dawn

MEMORANDUM FOR: Princess Luna

Co-ruler of Equestria

SUBJECT: After Action Report – Princess Celestia

Visit to Canterlot – 21 April 2012

1. PURPOSE: This memo provides a strategic and operational assessment of security operations in and around the Capitol of Canterlot and the surrounding country-side.

2. SOURCES:

A. SENIOR MILITARY OFFICIAL(S):

1. Capt. Shining Armor, Commander, Royal Guard

As we already know, the Changeling threat in Canterlot has been temporarily eliminated thanks to the valiant efforts of Capt. Shining Armor, Princess Cadance along with Twilight Sparkle and her friends. However, such a victory is a small one that has come at a high cost. The realization that the enemy infiltrated that deep into Canterlot despite such high security measures is not a pleasant one.

LTC. Boulder has already been engaged by these forces and certainly has vital information Equestria needs. While his warning did arrive a day after the incident in question, I believe that it is time we allow him and troops asylum to assist us in this fight. Our forces simply do not have the capabilities and know-how to counter this threat.

In the light of recent events, the Canterlot Royal Guard cannot be trusted to protect Equestria in its entirety. Such tasks will now be delegated by the soon to be Cmdr. Boulder to respective branches and units upon his arrival in Canterlot.
