As of 9:47 PM PDT 9-14-09 the AWP RDF had active delegates seated in all 6 of the game created Warzone Regions.
This was a very successful operation taking about 48 hours to execute. We also managed to participate in a regular RDF mission while we were at it.
As far as I know this has not been done in Nationstates recent history--and possibly never in the entire history of the game. I would like to congratulate the people of AWP for this show of strength and organization. You can easily count on one hand the number of regions who have the military numbers to accomplish this... and probably only 2-3 regions (us included) have anywhere close to the organization to do it.
This is a big deal and required a large deployment. I am very proud. Everyone who participated in the missions are free to come home as soon as their delegates fly our flag over the regions and change the WFE.
Congrats guys!

RDF reaches new heights: How the regions military is flying again?
Article published by the AWP Independent and commissioned by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Today, a look at the Warzones shows a new sight, the sight of the AWP regional flag flying high over the nations residing in these game created regions. Following skirmishes with the Liberty Alliance Defence Initiative and the mercenary army of One Big Island the vast forces of the AWP Regional Defence forces seized control of the Warzone regions in an operation that took barely 36 hours and saw a tenth of AWP deploying in their targets.
The Warzones were created several years back by Admin as a battlezone for warring regions and although they saw plenty of attention at points, mainly from the regions Galts Gulch and The YoungWorld, they haven't had the effect that was intended. These six regions though, are precious trophies, with the longest delegate being displayed permanently on the region and have a steady stream of traffic with all manner of regions running military operations.
Only a year ago, during a period of little to no raiding (partly down to the efforts of AWP intelligence operatives in upsetting and hindering the attempted raider alliance, SRATO), AWP launched a warzone offensive that saw a mass battle involving scores of nations. Equinox' Axiom Guild mirrored RDF actions and were forced to call upon friends and allies from accross NationStates in battles that saw up to a dozen regional militaries having to deploy in order to stop the AWP onslaught. AWP is no stranger to warzone missions and one of our first operations off this forum was a venture into Warzone Sandbox by a sven man force including veteran members Petalumadom, Rucket, Deathorlife and Numero Capitan as well as much missed legends of AWP; Kolinar, DarknessTimes and Torchevon.
AWP is not the first to have completed the feat of seizing all six Warzones, as the aforementioned regions of Galts Gulch and the YoungWorld also succeeded at this (although the YoungWorld had to reach 600 nations before it was able to achieve such a feat) but that makes this operation no less impressive as the region recovers from the annual summer slump. Perhaps more significantly this precision operation was conducted with speed, organisation and efficiency by over 20 loyal RDF soldiers despite the absences of some of the highest ranking RDF officers, Govindia, Lord Tothe, Turlmanistan, Zextheria and Biain the First due to other commitments. In addition the operation coincided with the liberation of "North Sea" by AWP troops, demonstrating the regions unwavering commitment to protecting defenceless regions.
The strength in depth of the regions military is one that is unmatched by regions of our size and probably only bettered by that of our friends, TITO. Raider regions have been forced to combine forces on a number of operations and committed operational suicide by their inability to share leadership outside the higher echelons of their regions due to paranoia over their poor security. In contrast, AWP has handfuls of capable mission leads that it can call upon at both updates in the confidence that they will deploy with the speed and efficiency that the RDF has become notable for.
Our Founder, Neasmyrna was delighted with how the operation went declaring "As far as I know this has not been done in Nationstates recent history--and possibly never in the entire history of the game. I would like to congratulate the people of AWP for this show of strength and organization. You can easily count on one hand the number of regions who have the military numbers to accomplish this... and probably only 2-3 regions (us included) have anywhere close to the organization to do it.

It brings great joy to the patriots of this region to see the AWP flag flying high on these prestigious regions and can only bode well for the future. Here are the World Factbook Entries of the regions under RDF control:
