With the coastal borders of Northern Egypt under the control of the United States of Sinai, the eastern coast has become available to push into and remove any OPFOR elements that have settled into the region. The eastern push is known under designation OPERATION: FOUR SCORE. Four Score is to be a joint operation between the local PMF (Popular Mobilisation Forces) and the Sinai SOCOM force which consists of Sinai Army elements as well as air force support. Four Score begun at 4 in the morning with an artillery strike from the Sinai Army, then strikes from the air force.

After nearly an hour of bombardments, the PMF moved in with Sinai assistance. The PMF was engaged in most of the fighting, most of them locals and well educated in the landscape of the coast. When fighting was close, Sinai Mechanised Infantry would run to save the day with M3 Halftracks and LMGs. The Islamist forces were heavily outgunned but made use of IEDs and the fact that there were so many local sympathisers made it hard to differentiate combatants and non combatants. In the end, the line blurred and urban fighting caused a lot of civilian casualties, many brushed under the rug as “natural causes”. Unconfirmed accounts of torture of suspected sympathisers has occurred with the Sinai Army promising a Federal Inquiry into the matter.
