Situation

The 17th Ranger Battalion was originally scheduled to rotate home from an extended tour in Fallujah. However, an unexpected event has thrown us into an unfamiliar reality. While onboard a C-130 en route home, our transport was suddenly struck by an unknown force. The plane went down, and we were forced to crash-land. When we regained consciousness, we found ourselves aboard the USS Freedom and its Task Force, poised to launch an invasion on the coastal region of Al Rayak, currently held by CSAT forces.

Though our memories remain clouded and fragmented, it is clear that the chain of events has placed us in a new world, a world embroiled in a conflict unlike any we’ve known. The Task Force we are now part of, including the formidable Helldivers, is on a mission to liberate the region and install a system of Managed Democracy—an ideal that seems to mirror our own values but is crucial to understanding how we may potentially return to our world.

We have been tasked with leading this offensive operation against CSAT, with the hope that our success will not only liberate the people of Al Rayak but also unravel the mysterious forces that have bound us to this strange land. The question remains: can we return home, or are we destined to reshape this world with our fight for freedom?

Area of Operation (AO):

Forces in Play:

Opfor:

• CSAT - Europe
  

 

Most Likely Course of Action:
Defense of held positions and repulsion of BLUFOR

Most Deadly Course of Action:
Counterattack in force to crush the beachhead and prevent establishment of FOBs

Civilian Considerations:
Present throughout the AO. Any injured civilians are to be medically treated using BASIC BANDAGES. All civilian vehicles and dwellings are to be spared when at all possible. Killing civilians, destroying their property, or not treating them will give rise to potential IEDs and rebel forces arrayed against us.

POW's:
Any and all POWs are to be sought when a location has been captured. A killed POW has the same effect as a killed civilian. First use a ZIPTIE on surrendered forces, then use ACE interact to move the prisoner and transport them to a FOB main building.

Blufor:

• Task Force Helldivers
  • 17th Ranger Battalion "Otherworlders"
  • 11th Airborne Division "Angels"
  • Navy Task Force "Arsenal of Democracy"
  • 1st Battalion, 1st Marines "First of the First"

Greenfor:

• n/a

Engagement Criteria:

Engage any armed individual in CSAT camo.

Mission:

Execution:

The 17th Ranger Battalion, in coordination with Task Force Helldivers, will carry out a full-scale invasion of CSAT-occupied Al Rayak. Our primary objective is to disrupt CSAT communications, seize critical infrastructure, and establish a series of forward operating bases to ensure the safe entry of additional forces in SECTOR KUROGANE PASS. The operation will involve a series of tactical strikes to weaken CSAT’s hold on the region and provide a foothold for Managed Democracy to take root.

Our actions will focus on disabling key communication hubs, capturing vital resource points, and securing control over essential infrastructure to bring about the region’s liberation. Ultimately, our success here may hold the key to returning home or establishing a permanent foothold in this world, with the potential to influence global geopolitics.

Objectives:

• OBJ STARFALL
• Prior to the Main Force landing Pathfinders will infiltrate and disable the CSAT communications tower near a coastal lighthouse, disrupting their ability to coordinate forces and then recon
• OBJ SEA OF BEGINNINGS
• Execute a beach landing to establish a FOB at Haven’s Reach, ensuring a foothold on the coastal region.
• OBJ OILFALL
• Capture the CSAT oilfield, denying the enemy access to critical fuel supplies and hampering their military mobility.
• OBJ STORMBREAKER
• Prior to continuing to OBJ PORT OF FATE while the Main Force is rearming and reorganizing the Pathfinders will capture the radio tower and recon to the North.
• OBJ PORT OF FATE
• Seize control of the CSAT-controlled port, cutting off vital supply lines and ensuring continued logistical support for our forces.
• OBJ IRONCLAD DAWN
• Capture the heavily fortified CSAT military base, neutralizing enemy forces and securing critical command infrastructure.
• OBJ HORIZONS EDGE
• Establish a final forward operating base atop the bluff overlooking the port, serving as the strategic command center for the final phase of the operation and stepping off point for clean up operations in the Sector and next week's operations.
