Situation
Background Information
The coastal town of Georgetown, and it's northern coastline is the final enemy held position. After 3 months of intense fighting, the NATO task force is at the precipice of it's mission in the region. With JTF Ground Forces surrounding Georgetown from the South and East, a direct result of UNITAFs efforts during Day 9.
All that remains for UNITAF forces, is a naval assault from the north and the clinical clearance of the built up area, freeing the local populance from the tyrannical state military forces and returning the islands to democratic rule.

Enemy Forces
The enemy is split, during our assault on Day 9 we witnessed multiple enemy forces surrendering. Aerial recon reports that the enemy is both reinforcing itself inside the town, with reports of roadblocks, boarded up buildings and barricades.
Some units are still retreating though, and recon also suggests that they may be loading APCs onto naval craft in the docklands.
The enemy are also at odds with the civilian population, with local militia fighting back against them.
