IN POSSESSION OF A CLEAR STRETCH OF BEACH FOR SUPPLIES TO ENTER THE ISLAND.

Secure a beachhead via capture or destruction of costal defences for further landing of troops and pushing south

ALL CALLSIGNS mount landing crafts driven by each squad. FOX 4 have amphibious APCs. YANKEE 9 have special landing craft with attached tanks YOU MUST NOT MOVE THE FIXED TANK BUT RECIEVE A NEW ONE ONCE ASHORE (Due to limitations of decent MBT assets) Once ashore ALL CALLSIGNS shall broadly follow movement as shown above. Initially EASY 1 shall move down the beach with EASY 2 within supporting distance on shore, We are tasked with eliminating the defencive positions along the beach to enable a larger landing force for later missions. YANKEE 9 should provide support to the EASY callsigns in their push and cover to the south where eyelines permit. Once sweeping west to east is complete, time permitting, we shall double back on ourselves and eliminate the second line of defencive positions to clear the designated AO (white line) LIGHTENING provides air cover for our landing and engages OPFOR fixed wing assets from the airbase to the south and CAS when requested to support the infantry.

LIGHTENING should RTB, land and ping zeus for resupply

FOX 4-2 are available via EASY 8

LIGHTENING can conduct CAS via EASY 6
