The ‘elves’ army.
Is standing up.
New mechanized brigades.
It’s a sign.
It’s a sign.
‘Elves’ leaders don’t expect.
‘Orcs’ wider war on Ukraine.
To end anytime soon.
It could be months.
Before the first of the new.
2,000-person brigades.
Has filled all its billets.
—and months longer.
Before the brigades.
Are ready for combat.

Belonging to.
The new 160th.
Mechanized Brigade.

—all of them with.
Designations in the 160s—
Will train in foreign countries.
And draw many of.
Their recruits.

‘Elves’ leaders don’t expect.
‘Orcs’ wider war on Ukraine.
To end anytime soon.
The creation of new brigades.
Is contingent.
On two things:
The successful mobilization.
Of perhaps 10,000.
Or more new recruits.
And continuing foreign support.
For ‘elves’ war effort.
The mobilization is.
The source of.
The new brigades’ manpower;
Foreign allies will.

Probably provide.
The bulk of.
Their heavy weaponry.

Four mechanized brigades.
Five infantry brigades.
And a jaeger brigade.
The infantry brigades.
Are the lightest.
—they mostly.
Ride in trucks.
The jaeger brigade is.
A middleweight force.
With a mix of trucks.
And light armored vehicles.
The mechanized brigades.
Are the heaviest:
They ride in.
Tracked and wheeled.
Armored vehicles.
And usually travel.
With a company of.
At least a dozen tanks.

Currently forming.
And what kinds.
Of brigades.
They’ll be.
If the previous round.
Of army expansion.
Is any indication.
There could be 10.

In the fourth year.
Of the wider war.

Is standing up.
New mechanized brigades.
It’s a sign.
It’s a sign.
‘Elves’ leaders don’t expect.
‘Orcs’ wider war on Ukraine.
To end anytime soon.
*Because I read “Anticipating War Through 2025, Ukraine Is Standing Up New Mechanized Brigades” by David Axe on 26 Aug 2024 on the Forbes, and also “Why are Ukrainians calling Russians ‘orcs’?” by James FitzGerald on 30 Apr 2022 on the BBC news.
So, I wrote this poem, including a report of Militaryland.
