SITREP:
TFA Goes To War! Since the last OP on Sahrani for the rescue of PM Jes’ family from the Ardistan military confinement, the Ardistan Army has placed the island on severe lockdown. Any Sahrani civilians found outside without Ardistan permission are to be shot on sight! The Free Sahrani Resistance (FSR) has been fighting for their survival, and has requested help from Fapovian Prime Minister Jes and the newly formed Southern Pacific Islands Alliance (SPIA). The political alliance is still in its formation phase, and the military alliance, the Southern Pacific Islands Defense Force (SPIDF), is still negotiating with western powers for modern and updated tech for its military. Because of this setback, the current head of the SPIA Counsel, PM Jes, has ask her old friends from TFA for assistance.
The current head of the FSR is an old acquaintance, Yuri. However, the Ardistan Army has captured Yuri and rumors have him both as dead and alive. PM Jes is close friends with Yuri and fears for his safety. It is a personal request from her for us to try and find Yuri while our operation in Sahrani is executed. Any information we received on Yuri’s whereabouts will be passed along immediately to TFA ground forces.
As TFA pushes east on South Sahrani and liberates the southern region from the Ardistan Army, the SPIDF will secure those areas captured and provide rear security from any counter attacks from the west.
This will be a long campaign. The goal is to liberate South Sahrani before pushing into North Sahrani. Our enemy has had at least 20 years of occupation and is familiar with Sahrani Island’s layout. Time is not an issue. Goals for each 2 hour mission will be set by Spartan. Ensure that all towns and villages are Ardistan free. Overlord will coordinate with Spartan on the occupation status of towns and villages before moving on. The amount of territory covered each mission is up to Spartan.
INTELLIGENCE:
The Ardistan military has placed several coastal air defense sites all around Sahrani as well as coastal naval patrol stations. These need to be eliminated to ensure TFA dominance on Sahrani.
The island has been divided into 4 regions by the Ardistan military. As these regions fall, so does their control over vast regions of Sahrani.
The FSR has informed TFA leadership that for the duration of the invasion, their operatives will remain in hiding and will inform TFA of any troop movements they can observe.
Enemy Strength: It is estimated that nearly 10,000 troops have been sent to Sahrani Island. This cannot be verified, but they are currently likely around 6,000-7,000 strong.
Mission: Straightforward! Invade South Sahrani from the island west of the main island and push the Ardistan Army from Sahrani. Spartan will plan the mission goals for each mission and pass it along to the PLs as usual.
Ground Topography: Various terrains from dusty, sandy plains to high steep mountains. Could be a nightmare for TFA.
