War Against the Commonwealth (Tomorrow Day)

The War Against the Commonwealth was a 14 year-long conflict that broke out between the United States of America and its allies against the Greater Commonwealth of European Nations. The war was fought between July 5, 2045 to August 13th, 2059.

In the Year 2045, US had deployed Satellite: HERCULES as its ultimate deterrent against any foreign attack, seemingly securing its safety against further Commonwealth Agression. The Commonwealth countered this weapon on July 5, 2045 by smuggling a strike team in a routine supply shuttle to HERCULES' command station, which then hijacked ODIN and turned the weapon against its makers. While surviving US personnel aboard the command station managed to scuttle it before all of HERCULES' projectiles could be fired, the American East and South-East were decimated, most notably Boswash, Washington D.C., Florida, Both Carolinas, and Georgia. The Commonwealth immediately followed their surprise attack on HERCULES with a massive land invasion and pushed deep into the American East. Despite the Commonwealth's Extreme Force, their forces were halted due to Operation: Red-Water, when the Mississipi River was irradiated by American Forces in order to stop Commonwealth Forces from entering the Mid-West.

12 Years in the war between the Commonwealth and the US had been fought to a stalemate. The front lines stabilized among the ruins of American cities. As the US prepared to renew its campaign to expel the invaders, increased Commonwealth activity in the No Man's Land resulted in the city of Nashville falling virtually overnight, thanks to intelligence gathered from captured civilians within the ruins. A large Commonwealth invasion force assaulted Fort Knox days later.

Unbeknownst to the U.S., these offensives were a prelude to "Operation Homecoming," the Commonwealth's final push to win the war. Over the previous decade, the Commonwealth Science Division had devoted itself to reverse-engineering HERCULES from the wreckage and information provided by former Echelon Captain now the Commonwealth's Prime General, Kirk Teagan. The result was the Commonwealth satellite array, code named "EURYSTHEUS" and "COMSAT" by the US, a more streamlined version of HERCULES designed to fire tungsten rods of varying sizes for precision strikes. Once operational, the array would be used to destroy the remaining U.S. major cities and its military sites.

Before the array was activated, Third Echelon learned of its existence after witnessing the launch of two rockets from the Iberian Peninsula and raiding "The Shop," the array's manufacturing facility in Barcelona. The US marshaled the last of its naval forces to launch an incursion to capture EURYSTHEUS' primary control center in Poland's lowlands, which Third Echelon was supported by Russian Forces. Despite being heavily defended, the facility was breached and destroyed, allowing a US Air Force squad to attack the array's command station in space and redirect EURYSTHEUS' fire against Federation ground and naval forces. Despite Echelon's failure to kill Teagan, much of the Commonwealth's forces were destroyed and EURYSTHEUS was captured, weakening it to the point where they no longer had a military advantage over the U.S.

The Liberation of the American east was comepleted when Washington D.C., New York City, Nashville, and Myrtle Beach were captured.

During the American and Russian Invasion of the Polish Lowlands, both the American and British Governments had initiated Operation: Overlord III, the Invasion of Occupied France.
