The province of Lythium, within Takistan, has been embroiled in a civil war for the past 8 years. The US backed Takistan Armed Forces (TAF) maintain control over most major urban centres, but the countryside and many roads between urban centres are controlled by the Lythium Liberation Front (LLF). We recently destroyed a cache of Igla MANPADS, as well as killing most insurgents trained in their use. This has led to the LLF being forced to use more expensive and less efficient means to counteract local air power, such as ZSU's.
After our success in destroying enemy AA capabilities, the LLF have largely pulled north inside the Nefer and Kandar Cauldrons. Surrounded on all sides by mountains and with fairly heavy AA presence inside the cauldron, breaking into these areas will likely be a challenge. To assist with this, we have been given slightly up-armoured vehicles. The Coalition previously held 2 FOB's within the Nefer Cauldron - Puesto Vulcan, a formerly Spanish FOB, and Martin FOB, a British outpost. These were abandoned months ago to focus on more urban areas. These appear to be the 2 major strongpoints within the Nefer Cauldron. Capture these and we will be able to send in a force to garrison them after you've left. To the west, within the Kandar Cauldron, ther appears to be an IED factory. We do not know exactly where this is, so keep an eye out for it. The LLF in this region is heavily motorised, with a number of Technicals ready to move in whenever Coalition forces are spotted. The dismounted troops present a similar threat, hiding in the mountains until contact is reported, and attacking forces from above.
