Port of Stary Krym, South-Eastern Kyiv, departure of the 1st Guards Airborne Division
"Hey Leytenant, Leytenant!"
"Stop fucking shouting, idiot! Now what do you want Kovalev?"
"Why are we getting on a ship anyways? Aren't we Airborne?"
"..."
"And where are we going? How are we supposed to know what to pack if they won't tell us where we are going?"
"You got the packing list, right?"
"Yeah."
"You followed it?"
"Yeah but-"
"Then there's no problem."
"Why do I need to pack my winter AND summer uniforms though? If we are going north, it's cold. If we go south, it's hot. So where am I going to need both?"
"...You really are stupid, Efreitor."
Though the Poruchyk was loathe to admit it even he did not know where the division was being deployed. WHY they were on an a ship was easy enough to figure out though, where ever they were going they weren't planning to enter by air or even by sea as these were no amphibious assault ships. It was easily forgotten Airborne Division has a smaller cargo load than any other comparable unit in the KPA which made it ideal for rapid deployment even by land or sea. If this was a combat mission it probably meant the target was to far to directly assault from the air and they were being deployed to some forward base. As for the nonsensical packing directions they had been given where a simple trick, no one reading them would be able to divine the divisions intended destination based on the kind of equipment they were bringing.
Totally unknown to the 1st AD's men they were not even alone on this expedition. At other ports hurried preparations were underway loafing naval infantry, SAMs and even combat aircraft. Anyone observing the frantic preparations in their entirety would have no doubt, this was an invasion force and it was about to depart.
