CONTEXT

The Karzeghistan Royal Army have been striking civilian infrastructure across the border for weeks out of Al Tabqah Main Airfield. NATO watched and warned. Then they hit the power grid.

3 cities went dark overnight. Civilian casualties in the hundreds.

US Cyber Command hit their entire digital infrastructure 60 minutes ago. Radar down, AA down, comms dead across the whole operational area. They are blind and they do not know we are coming.

US and UK paratroopers go in now, seize the airfield and hold the surrounding area. Once that strip is clear C-130 comes down with supplies and equipment to stand up FOB HARRIER. That FOB becomes the launch point for the push straight to their command centre. OBJECTIVES

Seize Al Tabqah Main Airfield.
Clear the runway and hold it for RAVEN logistics landing.
Secure the surrounding area and hold it.
Establish FOB HARRIER and defend against QRF.

ROE

All KRA combatants are free fire
Anyone on the airfield or in the military compound is considered hostile
Do not engage civilian vehicles or personnel outside the airfield perimeter
Expect 360 degree threats on landing, you are dropping into enemy territory
Main KRA force will push from the West, that is your priority threat axis

ASSETS

Raven 1 and 2 insert all units via C-130 static line drop
Once all units are dropped Raven transitions to UH-60 Blackhawks for reinsert tasking throughout Operation
A single C-130 will land on the strip once cleared, delivering Hammer mortar, ammunition and additional equipment
1x Global Hawk UAV is available at airbase for air reconnaissance, at Platoon Command discretion unarmed, eyes only
Hammer has 2x L16 81mm mortars under Platoon FO direction

RESUPPLY

Nothing until the strip is secure and Raven is back on the deck. Jump with starter kit. Once Raven lands, weapons and supplies are distributed by section leads and FOB HARRIER starts setting up. ENEMY STRENGTH

The airfield garrison is assessed as a platoon sized force. The Karzeghistan Royal Army were not expecting an assault on this position and have not fortified accordingly. Expect a mix of static positions and armed patrols covering the airfield and surrounding area.

The moment we leave the aircraft they will know we are coming. The cyber attack will slow their ability to coordinate and respond but it will not stop them.

QRF will push hard and fast from the west
Multiple FOBs and the nearby city are all sources of reinforcement
Expect BMPs, BTRs and infantry in numbers
AA and radar are down but partial recovery possible after mission start
