WARNORD 19FEB21

MIssion: High Ground
 
1. SITUATION

CSAT forces have seized Malden airbase overnight, threatening to occupy the island. Since Malden has no central government or military, it is easy prey to hostile nations seeking to gain leverage against NATO and western nations in the region. Police and local militia are unprepared to mount a defense of their home, calling for help on CB radios. The neighboring island of Everon has offically requested NATO-led intervention to prevent a takeover of the Malden Islands.

U.S. Army Rangers of the 3rd Infantry Division have landed on Moray Island and secured the airstrip. They now prepare to land on Malden and neutralize the CSAT threat. Limited drone and human intelligence show a significant buildup of enemy forces on the objectives, including armor and AA assets.
 
2. MISSION
 
First Platoon will fly from the airstrip to the mountains west of Malden airbase. Establish mortar team and forward observer team positions overlooking the AO. Seize the radio station at OBJ Apex. Utilizing IDF and direct action, then capture the CSAT airbase at OBJ Springboard.
