*

BACKGROUND:
(Suggestion, it would be wise to read the entire summary!)*
*
The political crisis in Pakistan continues to deteriorate with the former Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) Chief Major General Hamid Gul (ret.) and the now rebel Pakistani 1st Strike Corps seizing an airbase containing the plutonium cores for the Pakistani air delivered nuclear weapons. Gul is a fierce Islamic zealot (Google this guy if you don't already know about him!), one of the creators of the Taliban, and staunchly anti-American! CIA and DIA Intel assets indicate the detonators have also been secured for the weapons (held at a separate facility) and plans are being made to transfer both to a third location. Worse still communications between Gul and Al Quada have been intercepted indicating a possible transfer for some weapons to that terrorist group. For a week now an airmobile brigade of the 101st Airmoble/Air Assault Division have been deploying to an Airbase in coastal Pakistan for a possible mission to seize the weapons. On the morning of Christmas Eve (Dec 24th) an intercept confirms the cores would be removed the next day. The go order is given for an airmobile assault on the facility overnight on Christmas Eve. As western audiences watch the growing riots in Pakistani cities on their TV screens the assault begins. Failure is not an option as if the assault is unsuccessful two Tomahawk Cruise missiles each with a 10 kiloton tactical nuclear warhead will be launched against the site at 06:00 local time on Christmas morning.*

This scenario depicts an airmobile assault against a very well defended facility. *

The scenario is designed to be played with the human player as the American side against the Pakistani AI.*

ORDERS:*
Operation Empty Quiver.*
*
Units of the 101st Airborne Division which have deployed to your advanced base on or before 24 December 2007 will be utilized to secure nuclear weapons cores in possession of rebel Pakistani forces. A Special Operations Forces (SoF) observation team has been inserted to the area and will provide Forward Air Control (FAC) for Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) and Close Air Support (CAS) missions. To date, friendly air assets deployed are not sufficient to completely reduce opposing Anti-Aircraft Artillery (AAA) and armored assets. It is suggested you utilize your observation and attack helicopter units to further reduce AAA prior to airmobile insertion. The Landing Zone (LZ) is expected to be hot. Intel and satellite imagery suggests an initial landing near the runway-hanger area would be more successful than an LZ near the Storage Bunkers. It is imperative that your forces secure the Storage Bunkers or initiate egress prior to 05:30 LST. Due to the deepening and critical political situation in Pakistan, if the situation is not secured prior to 05:30 LST, the USS Gettysburg will initiate a nuclear strike on the facility at 06:00 LST regardless of egress status!*
*
Intel: Rebel Pakistani Army/ISI assets are estimated to be�*
Two (2) Battalion sized infantry units.*
One (1) Armored Company.*
12 Improved Hawk Batteries.*
Numerous lighter AAA assets.*

Good Luck, it will be a near run thing should you accomplish your mission!*
