TIME: Saturday, November 26 2016, 2100UTC

This is Thanksgiving weekend in 'Muricaland, so we're running two shorter missions that scale well with variable playercounts.

OPERATION ALUMINUM POODLE

by Zim

SITUATION

    URGENT: US Army UH-60 call sign POODLE has been shot down in hostile territory. POODLE's passengers, the SoF Recon team WARHORN, survived the crash and have established contact with their survival radios. A rescue force, RAMBLER, is in the process of deploying via helicopter to retrieve them and destroy any sensitive equipment at the crash site.

    Intercepted enemy radio transmissions confirm they are also closing on WARHORN's location. It is imperative that we recover our aircrew and destroy the POODLE wreck.

MISSION NOTES

• No respawn.

• The mission starts when it starts. There isn't time for the AIRBUD team faff about deciding who sits in what seat.

• WARHORN survivors probably want to get moving asap. A crashed helicopter is not the best place to hide. On the other hand, destroying sensitive equipment at the crash site is one of the mission objectives, so going too far from the crash site may cede it to the enemy. Decisions, decisions...

• RAMBLER ground team leader is acting CO for the mission.

• No aircrew lottery this time. If you sign up, we expect you to be honest with yourself and practice ahead of time on your own. (It'll be super obvious if you didn't.)

• CHARIOT may undergo a transformation from UH-60M to CH-47F if playercount allows for it. If too many of you are in turkeycomas and not manshooting, CHARIOT doorgunners will be moved to infantry slots.

Operation Yield Burgundy

by: Iron

SITUATION

   Chedaki separatists have in just a few weeks managed to seize all of Chernogorsk and its surrounding regions. Their influence is as yet confined to this region, but if left unchecked it is not unreasonable to expect they could rapidly expand across Chernarus.

   At the request of the Chernarussian government, small packets of United States forces are being committed to aid in the containment of the Chedaki rebels. The USS Nimitz, already on exercises in region, has finished her transit to the Green Sea and is now within strike range of Chernogorsk.

   Elements of the 27th MEU, embarked upon ships of the Nimitz group, will be dropped on the outskirts of Chernogorsk by CH-53 transports. They will infiltrate Chernogorsk, locate and destroy C3 facilities, and exfiltrate back to the Nimitz.

Avoiding detection is not essential and being detected is an inevitability once the explosions start, but the mission will become more difficult once detected.

EXECUTION

A. Intent
   MARSOC "Razor" team, 27th Marine Expeditionary Unit, are to conduct clandestine demolitions against C3 targets in and around CHERNOGORSK.

B. Concept
   27th MEU and Nimitz group conduct targeted raid on Chedaki CPs to support Chernarussian ground forces containment of insurgents around Chernogorsk district.

C. Tasks
   a. Infiltrate Chernogorsk
   b. Locate and destroy C3 installations and targets of opportunity
   c. Exfiltrate Chernogorsk

D. Coordination
   a. Chernarussian ground forces are currently trying to contain the Chedaki in and around Chernogorsk. It is possible some of them may be Chedaki sympathizers and they are to be avoided if at all possible: we cannot risk them communicating our presence to the Chedaki insurgents.
   b. US Navy CH-53s will provide transportation to and from the infil and exfil points.
   c. A US Navy F/A-18F will be on station to provide close air support if needed.

MISSION NOTES

• No respawn.

• This starts out as a stealth mission, and you're encouraged to play it as such until it stops being a stealth mission. Once that happens, go nuts.

• No aircrew lottery this time. Be aware that CAS in an urban environment can be tricky, and the F/A-18 WSO seat needs to do specific things to be able to use weapons. If you sign up, the expectation is the two of you will practice together and know what you're doing before Saturday. (It'll be super obvious if you haven't.)
