Op Rushmore

Insurrection has broken out on the isle of Pulau!

At 05:00hrs local time, radicalised forces backing a prominent anti- globalist Pulau politician siezed both airports on the small island nation. by 06:00hrs the island was locked down and nobody could leave or arrive at the island by air. NATO ships have been mobilized but will take days to arrive.

The local British QRF base "Pegasus" finds itself operating alone & without outside support, as its much larger mainland base was packed up a year ago when most of the International Aid groups left the country. Only the ever supportive IDAP remain operating in Pulau, along with a very small number of UN peacekeepers. Alongside them is a regiment of Royal Marines, who have been tasked with Delaying the coup until NATO arrives. It is vital the three IDAP camps across Pulau do not fall, as they are providing vital aid to the civilian population, which allows them to resist the unwanted coup.

Using a Pair of Merlin Helicopters, and local pilots from the base, the Marines will conduct counter insurrection efforts across the entire Nation. Using a witness report system to track insurrectionist movements, command will mark reports of insurrection and the time they were spotted on the map. QRF teams will be transported to the location via helicopter to deal with the insurrectionists. Insurrectionist forces aren't just standing around though, the longer you wait to respond to a report, the further away from that marker the enemy force could be getting. Sightings near IDAP aid camps should be prioritized as they are vital for supporting the civilian population. If an Aid camp comes under attack it will be marked on the map and announced over radio. If a camp is taken over by insurrectionist forces, it is lost and can not be re-taken. If all three camps fall to the coup, the citizens will succumb to the coup before NATO arrive

The airfields are heavily defended and it is not advised to fly over or near them, there have been reports of ZSU's and BTRs guarding them. This is a tricky operation that will really test a squad leaders ability to delegate forces to multiple engagements and formulate effective attack plans on the fly. Good Hunting Marines!
