Operation Mangonel (UNSC) Prelude [1st Main]

  ++MISSION BRIEFING++

"It's been four years since the end of the war. And today we send forth a vessel designed for battle, but now re-purposed. For peace."

— Captain Andrew Del Rio, February 21st, 2557

Task Force OLYMPUS has arrived in Gamma Serpentis and is preparing to deploy ground forces to Cade's Rest. The cruisers UNSC Keyes & UNSC Deliberator will engage the Insurrectionist ships in orbit while UNSC Unto the Breach will deploy ground forces.

The initial objectives of Operation Mangonel are to seize a Forward Operations Area and to sever the supply chain of Orbital Platform Magellan, forcing the Insurrectionists aboard to surrender.

The first two objectives in this instance, are to be the Orion Orbital Elevator and Orion Airbase. 2nd Platoon, Bravo COY, 3rd Bn, 442n Marines will deploy via Pelicans of the 112nd Naval Heavy Lift Wing to capture both objectives. A flight of Wombat UAVs will be available from the 876th Autonomous Strike Wing to provide close air support. 
Once the Orion area has been secured, UNSC Unto the Breach will break atmosphere and take up a position above the island to provide aerial supremacy.
