Los Angeles did present a slight difficulty for the Australasia Army, but in the end, it was only slight.
Even the United States Army couldn't halt the advance of the Allied Army, let alone the National Guard units assembled by All States.
The California State Guard, responsible for the defense of Los Angeles, had a force of about ten thousand, which already put them at a disadvantage in numbers.
The offensive forces of Australasia in California consisted of two infantry divisions and one Artillery Regiment, which nearly quadrupled the numbers of the California State Guard.
By August 17th, the Australasia Army had successfully taken Los Angeles and began temporary military management of the city.
For the ordinary American people in Los Angeles, Australasia had no intentions of oppressive measures, at least not for the time being.
