Event details
Situation
Alpha Company “War Eagles” has deployed to the Turkish island of Bozcaada, located off the country’s Mediterranean coast. Known predominantly for tourism, the small island has been overrun by ISIS forces moving in from northwestern Syria after the jihast collapse in Çukurca. Turkish National Guard and local police units maintain a small presence in the military base and the capital city of Merkez, but the remainder of the area is effectively in enemy hands. Locals are reporting mass kidnappings and murders by ISIS forces as terrorists consolidate their gains.

Turkish National Guard units reported a heavy ISIS presence in the national guard camp (OBJ Sentinel) and the village (OBJ Watchman) along the island’s southwestern coast. This has been confirmed by NATO IFC, which has proof of armored vehicles and heavy weapons are deployed in the vicinity of the military base.
First Platoon “Widowmakers” is tasked with capturing the 2x objectives and eliminating ISIS forces and materiel therein.
