Turkish Tussle, Part 1

by Boogeyman

SITUATION
     June 1974

     Ethnic tensions between Greek and Turkish Alteseans in the wake of a successful Coup by Greek Ultranationalists have prompted Turkish Forces to launch an invasion of the Island nation of Altis, ostensibly to ensure the continued protection of the Turkish-Altesean enclaves of Chalkeia, Syrta, and Abdera.

MISSION
     At dawn, Turkish Naval Infantry secured several beachheads in North-East Altis. Reinforcements from the 50th Infantry now aim to seize the key towns of Paros and Kamchala in order to encircle Altesean National Guard defenders. 7th Company's Altay Platoon will lead the assault. Recon teams under callsign Izmir from the 6th Naval Infantry have been assigned to assist in the assault, as well as clear several AAA sites to make way for a later landings and air-support.

Yttrium Yorkipoo

SITUATION
     URGENT: One of our International Operations Network convoys was ambushed two hours ago in Lythium Province. This convoy was carrying our Vice President of Near-East Operations, Derek Price, as he toured outposts we have taken over the US Army. The security and stewardship of our contracts in the region depend on our ability to project stability and control with our areas of operations. Price's safety as an executive, therefore, is considered a contract-influencing factor.

     Funding has been released for company assets to conduct a search and rescue operation. It is imperative that ION convey a sense of control over this rapidly escalating situation. Price, callsign YORKIPOO, should be retrieved if possible, and whatever remains of his initial escort team if feasible. Security team YTTRIUM will be dispatched via and provided with fire support from coordinating elements from Allied Tactical Operations Management. While ATOM are nominally our competitors in this region, a subcontract for contingency activities has been prepared to cover this brief period of unplanned operations.

     It is imperative that control over this situation is regained. Negative events such as these are detrimental to the ION brand and cannot be allowed to influence lucrative assignments in our security sectors. Retrieve YORKIPOO and his support forces if possible, prevent our assets from being repurposed by other actors, and put a lid on this mess before it impacts our bottom line.
