==== Carolinian Intervention ====
Carolina's response to Chilean instability was to close off the long border between the two nations, in order to contain the spread of National Republicanism to the affected areas. This essentially made the crisis contained within its sovereign borders. The Carolinian Navy patrolled Chilean waters and sunk docked Chilean naval vessels as a precaution by the Carolinian government. Hispanophone Carolinians voiced their concern and urged the government to intervene in Chile. A resolution was passed on September 12, 1945, that immediate action be taken in Chile, and that an expeditionary force be sent to the area. This gave the affirmative to General Malcolm Haywood to assemble the Carolinian Expeditionary Force(CEF).

The training the candidates of the CEF experienced were said to be brutal and merciless. One anonymous report by a candidate stated that they were forced to wake up at 4 in the morning and hike in full combat gear. Another statement mentioned the grueling exercise regime and unforgiving living conditions in the barracks. When approached about these issues, General Haywood simply stated, "The men need to be comfortable lying their head in a pile of dirt and surviving off of the land. Otherwise, there's no damn point if our soldiers complain about every little thing. There's no room for pansies in the army, you know that." The training and orientation for the Carolinian Expeditionary Force took 15 days to organize and complete, and the mettle of the CEF troops would soon be tested in the inevitable invasion of Chile.
