Presence Patrol #6
Situation
Following Mission Party Time, Turkish forces completed mop-up of the Merkez area, killing one ISIS fighter who had hidden in a garbage pile and later attempted to flee. However, there have been several violent incidents reported over the past few days, including local warnings of Kurdish hit squads are moving at night and executing accused ISIS supporters, predominantly Arab men living on the southeast part of the island.
The NATO Intelligence Fusion Centre suspects that the Sons of Qardu, a newly formed Kurdish militia, is responsible for the murders. Due to the limited presence of Turkish National Guard and police forces, War Eagles will patrol along the eastern coastal area to gain additional information about the Sons of Qardu and the security situation in southeastern Bozcaada. It is our intent to prevent any further outbreak of insurgency on the island.
Mission
Alpha Company “War Eagles” is ordered to patrol the Bozcaada eastern coastal area to gain additional information about the Sons of Qardu and possible remaining ISIS forces.
First Platoon “Widowmakers” is tasked with patrolling through Patrol Area Caesar to gain intel from local civilians and locate possible Kurdish and ISIS positions and caches. Infantry must establish positive relations with the public in order to gain as much information as possible.
Second Platoon “Griffins” is tasked with scouting the western edge of PA Caesar and POI Porcus and Hastatus for armed insurgents. Screen First Platoon’s movements and provide early warning for possible enemy movements.
3CAB “Falcons” is tasked with transport, resupply, scout, and CAS sorties as required by ground force commanders.
Rule of Engagement: Military age male with mixed camo uniform, weapon, and combat kit. Suicide bombers and VBIEDs are possible; warning shots are authorized for vehicles at 100 m and dismounts at 50 m. For all other armed contacts NOT confirmed to be ISIS, fire when fired upon. Do not start a battle with the Kurds.
