    1. SITUATION

    Situation Time: 00:00L 7 July 2024

    Lighting: No Moon

    Weather: Clear skies, unlimited visibility.

    ISIS forces in Sa’Hatra have captured 10 US nationals as part of an ongoing ransom racket.

    Their names are:

    • Ryan Conrad
    • Ryan Kelly
    • James Hall
    • Daniel Reed
    • Spencer Martinez
    • Matthew Martinez
    • Thomas Wright
    • Gillian Williams
    • Owen James
    • George Santorum

    ISIS has released several ransom videos, which appear to be filmed in an underground tunnel system, as shown in this screenshot from the ransom video of George Santorum:

    We have recently received high-confidence intelligence that ISIS is indeed holding the hostages in a tunnel system, specifically their headquarters, which we have learned is located under Ardaft on the Eastern end of the Theatre.

    A. Enemy Forces:

    Ardaft is located inside enemy territory. It is protected by about 35 combatants and a perimeter of Search Lights, HMGs and a ZU-23 on a roof.

    Other ISIS forces in the Theatre are located in nearby Eastern Sa’Hatra and Sa’Hatra proper, from which we expect ISIS to react to our action with a stream of QRFs. These other forces are expected to consist of infantry, and Armoured Technicals with heavy weapons.

    The exact location of the tunnel entrance is not known, but it is expected to be within a building, and based on ISR of the town and traffic patterns, three likely buildings have been identified and marked on the map:

    ISIS do not have any MANPADs or NVGs, but expect more ZU-23s

    The tunnel system is expected to be extensive and share the same footprint as the town above. We have no intel of its layout.

    Zulu-Alpha is located at FOB Markus

    1) Equipment: Standard equipment

    2) Surveillance: 1x Micro UAV

    3) Ground Vehicles: 1x MTVR (Ammo), 1x MTVR [Refuel], 1x M1038 (Repair)
