Operation order
Situation
Background Information
After the USMC Made good ground on the initial invasion. The PLA managed to push them back down the airfield with a big push from both troops and armoured assets, the USMC has suffered significant casualties so the decision has been made to bring the Army ashore to reinforce the marines and to take the airfield.
The US Army is bringing significant assets ashore to ensure that the airfield is secured so that the US has a foothold in the islands. While the Army's landing is sooner than planned due to the high casualties, US Army Command is more than confident that they can deploy the assets & troops to secure the airfield and further the island.
