++MISSION BRIEFING++ "Loose lips [might] sink ships." —Wartime propaganda slogan. The year is 1944 The Germans have been using the Air Field at Vinjesvingen in Occupied Norway to launch attacks on Allied shipping transiting the North Sea. Command has authorized a drop of US paratroopers into the area to neutralize the Air Field and remove the disruption to Allied shipping in the area. The Anti Air threat at the Air Field prevents a direct drop as such a drop will be conducted further to the north near FOB Abo. Paratroopers will secure vehicles from the FOB proceed south to the Air Field and neutralize it. Once the base has been secured all aircraft and infrastructure must be destroyed at which point nearby allied transports will move in to pickup the paratroops. ++BRIEFING COMPLETED++ MISSION SUMMARY: This will be a heavily themed mission with elements taken from the Second World War The mission will be making use of the Arma 3 mods IFA3 AIO, Faces Of War, CSA38 and Improved Melee System which will be posted as well at the bottom of this event page in a compiled list.

Charlie Troop, 11th Armoured Cavalry Regiment, CentCom, Fulda Gap, West Germany, 1984. 9 days ago the USSR launched a massive invasion into West Germany, with the aim of capturing Wilhemshaven and splitting our allied armies in half. CentCom & Northcom forces are fighting a prolonged withdrawal until a Counter Attack can be organised. However, the 4th Shock Army have pushed forwards too far, too fast. Polish reinforcements have yet to fill the gaps created in this prolonged battle line; and elements of the 11th ACR have found themselves in a position to exploit this overstretched defensive line, and possibly change the tide of the war. ASSETS 4x M113 (2x Crew Each, 1 per squad) 2x M1A1 Abrams MBT (Broadsword 1 & 2) 1x Multirole Cobra * 1x CAS Littlebird * *If lost, Blackhawks will be used for Resupply & Reinforce.

++MISSION BRIEFING++ "A true man does not only stand up for himself, he stands up for those that do not have the ability to." —William Lyon Mackenzie King. The Allied landings in Normandy on June 6th have thus far been a success Beachheads have been established at Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword beaches. We are moving inland to link up with other allied beachheads and secure critical infrastructure and objectives. Our objective in assistance for the push on Caen will be to secure the French port of Campbeltown. The German Garrison in the town has put up stiff resistance on our approach and Recon has provided us with objectives to bring the town under our control. The industrial area is occupied by German Armor and all attempts thus far to push them out have been unsuccessful. The residential areas to the north and south have significant German infantry dug in and in good cover. And the Docks must be secured to allow allied shipping to supply the growing frontline. To assist in these objectives Tanks have been provided to support the urban advance and AVRE equipped Churchills have been brought forward. Good luck gentlemen and Godspeed. ++BRIEFING COMPLETED++ Video Brief Pending... So tired....
