Situation

Welcome back Rangers. Our success in capturing the airfield last week has given friendly forces a much needed foothold over the region and has allowed them to begin conducting more large-scale operations. Speaking of which, the 11th MEU is currently planning a push west along the coast aimed at capturing key positions. However, we have intel that a large CSAT force is massing to the north and is planning an assault on the town of Jableh soon, which contains crucial supply lines for friendly operations. Additionally, the Marines won't be able to defend the town of Jableh while they conduct their operation, leaving us with quite the dilemma. That's where you come in. Defend the town of Jableh from CSAT forces while the Marines push west along the coast, and we will have gained the ground needed to make a push inland in the future. Additionally, enemy AA presence is still high, and as such all fixed wing assets will remained grounded while rotary assets will continue to be used sparingly.
