6500 soldiers in Ba Sing Se
500 soldiers w/ 10 airships guarding the West Coast.
4000 soldiers spread evenly throughout all of the owned islands.
3000 soldiers in the East Coast EK DEFENSIVE PLAN:

Sokka recognizes the EK's vulnerability in the West Coast, and has placed his soldiers in a way that any attack will be voided:

IN CASE OF A NORTHERN EK ATTACK:

The EK has no vulnerability there. The EK will allow the FN soldiers to tyrant; however, the villagers there will send messenger hawks to the eastern and western soldiers, who will then in turn send almost their entire army of about 3500, 10 airships, tons of badger-moles, and every non-cavalry (cavalry is badger-moles) soldier is in an EK tank, as used in DoBS. Haru will spread the soldiers out into the formation, as in Diagram A. If needed, an extra reimbursing force of about 2500 will be sent to the battle, so as to finish the battle thoroughly.

IN CASE OF A SOUTHERN EK ATTACK:

Each village there has been warned to send a message on a messenger hawk to the eastern and western soldiers, who will then in turn send almost their entire army of about 3500, 10 airships, tons of badger-moles, and every non-cavalry (cavalry is badger-moles) soldiers is in an EK tank, as used in DOBS. Haru will spread the soldiers out into the formation as in Diagram B. If needed, an extra reimbursing force of about 2500 soldiers will be sent to the battle, to finish the battle thoroughly.

IN CASE OF AN EASTERN EK ATTACK: The 3000 soldiers will progress in the formation in Diagram C, with badger-moles, tanks, and such being transported from the western force to the eastern force. Of the 4000 spread-out men in the EK's FN, about 2500 soldiers will be sent, and they will close any retreat path the invader can face, and the two will close in as shown in Diagram D. IN CASE OF A WESTERN EK ATTACK;

Since this concerns Ba Sing Se, about 1500 soldiers are sent to the western EK, and the 500 soldiers and the 10 airships are in the formation as shown in Diagram E. According to Sokka's wish, the soldiers sent from Ba Sing Se to the battle will be added to each defensive unit. Meanwhile, about 4000 soldiers from the EK conquered FN will line up; if the battle seems to be getting pretty deadly, they will help with the defensive unit, and close the attacking part of the EK up. This will show in Diagram D's movement.

^^wording of the Earth Kingdom defensive move. Diagrams coming up soon.

Hmmm, I suppose I shoud start making some defense units soon. The Guru can make war plans right?
