Operation Brother’s Last Breath

[BakkiesKeymaster]

Campaign WARNORD:

Situation

Bozcaada, a Civilized Turkish island boasts a well established government with an organized Turkish military backbone.  A liberal democracy ruled by Turkish President João Goulart recently suffered a political defeat to newly elected Governor Paulo Aksoy and stands to lose political power despite having an established network of government officials and military leaders. The Turkish army has plotted a military coup against the holding government to prevent a change of power. The economy is holding strong despite fears that the increased military action will have an adverse effect on the local market. The citizens from Bozcaada are from different ethnic groups traveled from all over the world and have their own ways to respond to the situation at hand.

João Goulart, a well respected man has gracefully accepted the defeat but power hungry & corrupt officials within the military ranks have captured him and are puppeteering him into reckless and dangerous decisions. Seeing that he wants to do the honorable thing and hand over power, The main plan, which is extensively being discussed within UN for an all out war with the Turkish military and the weight of lives lost and collateral damages leaves a big window of opportunity for the military coup to impose martial law scenario. The US Army has decided to send Zulu-Company Alpha platoon as a contingency plan to impose and act as a security element. Our objective is see that power is transferred peacefully and to destabilize the military coup element but not defeat it, The UN doesn’t want a martial law scenario to unfold.

The current Turkish government has been drawn into negotiations with the US and has allowed Zulu-Alpha to occupy the land, the military coup having learned from our discussions has increased their military actions do not expect to be welcomed with open arms

The military coup, being on full alert has deployed all of their assets, fortunately satellite imagery over Bozcaada orbiting at 25 000 feet took a high res image of heat signatures and sent HQ the deployment of enemy assets.

The Turkish Army is loyal to it’s Generals and is under the command of Hulusi Akar for the moment. Their goal is to overthrow the government and to destabilize the power transition and to be seen as a strong political force in the eyes of the people. It will therefore want to avoid open tribal warfare and open warfare with the US, but is still willing to defend the country’s pride by resisting perceived US aggression.

The Turkish army hold keys areas including military compounds, airfields and major metropolitan areas and boasts an formidable air-force and anti-air capabilities, therefore initial operations will be conducted by infantry units.

Description:

1. SITUATION

Situation Time: 04:30hrs

Lighting: Dark, Early Dawn. Sunrise expected around 5:15am

Weather: Clear

Following Operation Brother’s Punch, Zulu-Alpha got their wind knocked out of them when experiencing a different kind of warfare compared to previous campaigns. A far more intellectual Turkish Commandos struck us with a sledge hammer and managed to inflict mass causalities and eliminated three of Zulu-Alpha’s assets… a typical case of “Biting of more then we can chew”. With Zulu Alpha reducing their Turkish Blue Berret’s into scrap heaps of metal was like a prick through the heart. This provoke them into launching a full scale attack during the night on anyone and anything.

With their grip of the country slipping out of their hands… Hulusi Akar broadcasted during the evening raids that around 6:00am next morning they intend to execute João Goulart. and plan to televise the event,  The volatiliy of the local markets incited local rebel groups to rally a few pockets of infantry together. They sustained severe casualties but managed to clear the way up to FOB Joe but lack the firepower for a direct assault. NATO has acknowledge this threat and have expedited the executive order for a full on war with Turkish military coup in order to attempt to rescue João Goulart. However seeing that ZA haven’t received this order yet, they are still required to act as a security element until further notice. HQ expects to get the all clear in 45min, this gives ZA enough time and under the cover of darkness time to set up a staging point at the base of FOB Joe in preparation of the assault.

The allotted time allows ZA to set up a staging point at the footsteps of their base.
