Situation

Afternoon Rangers. Loosing the city of Jableh has given CSAT the upper hand, and we have intel coming in that it may have been a trap from the start. More importantly, our Marine friends are now cut off from the main forces and have CSAT on all sides. However, with a majority of CSAT forces currently focused on the Marines, we have been given a golden opportunity to exploit a critical weak point in CSAT's defenses. If we can push through this weak point and past their defenses, we can not only create a hole for the Marines to use to get out, but we can also hit a costal CSAT battery and a CSAT controlled island off of the coast. The kicker is, these weak points won't last forever, so we're only gonna have one shot at this and we're gonna have to make it count. If we can manage this, we can regain the upper hand and put CSAT back on the defensive. Still no fixed wing, but a cyber attack is planned to temporarily disable enemy AA assets, allowing rotary assets to operate freely.
