Situation

Welcome back Rangers. After successfully pushing CSAT forces back away from the southern coast, and capturing another one of their main airfields, CSAT has been forced back on the defensive. Additionally, we have intel stating that CSAT is currently relocating their long-range AA emplacements, leaving only some short-range AA instillations still active. This has caused a hole to form in CSAT's air defense network, one which we're going to be using to assault some key positions to cut off CSAT's last main airfield from the front lines. If we can pull this off, CSAT will lose almost all control they have over the front lines, allowing our Marine friends to start pushing more inland.
