OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS NATO’S PRESENCE IN IRAQ HAS PROGRESSIVELY DECREASED AND WHILST THERE IS A SEMBLANCE OF LAW AND ORDER IN THE COUNTRY, THE PRODUCTION OF OPIUM IS AT AN ALL TIME HIGH AND DRUG ORGANISATIONS ARE KNOWN TO BE FUNDING TERRORIST AND JIHADIST ORGANISATIONS. OUR GOVERNMENT BELIEVES THAT UNLESS SOMETHING IS DONE NOW TO ACT AGAINST THE DRUG ORGANISATIONS THE SITUATION COULD GET OUT OF HAND AND LEAD TO A POSSIBLE RESURGENCE OF THE TALIBAN OR OTHER ORGANISATIONS. BASED ON THE SUCCESS OUR AMERICAN COUSINS HAD IN ABRAMIA AND IN CONSULTATION WITH OUR INTELLIGENCE ORGANISATION WE HAVE DECIDED TO USE SPECIAL FORCES TO BRING THE DRUG WAR FORCEFULLY AND DIRECTLY TO PRODUCERS AND DEALERS IN THE REGION. OUR LAST MISSION DID NOT SUCCEED IN STARTING THE GANG WAR WE EXPECTED, PROBABLY BECAUSE THE EFFICIENCY WITH WHICH THE ATTACKS WERE CARRIED OUT INDICATED TO THE ENEMY THAT IT WAS DONE BY PROFESSIONAL SOLDIERS RATHER THAN PARAMILITARY GROUPS. HOWEVER, THE OPERATION YIELDED VALUABLE INTELLIGENCE WHICH LEAD US TO DISCOVER THAT ONE OF THE GROUPS, HARIQ FI ALSAMA (MEANING FIRE IN THE SKY) IS BRIBING IRAQI MILITARY OFFICIALS AND IS INTENT ON PURCHASING HEAVY WEAPONS TO PROTECT THEIR OPERATION. INTELLIGENCE SUGGESTS THAT COLONEL QASIM AMIN OF THE IRAQI MILITARY WILL BE SELLING WEAPONS TO THE ENEMY. THERE IS A CONVOY SUSPECTED TO BE LOADED WITH WEAPONS TRAVELLING THROUGH FALLUJAH AND HEADING TO THE FOB NORTH OF THE CITY. IF THE TRANSACTION IS GOING TO TAKE PLACE IT WILL BE IN THE CITY. WE SHOULD POSITION OURSELVES TO BE ABLE TO FOLLOW THE CONVOY AND IDENTIFY IF AN ARMS TRANSACTION IS TAKING PLACE. RECENT IMAGE OF COLONEL QASIM AMIN

NONE

DRUG PARAMILITARY FORCES OF UNKNOWN SIZE OR CAPABILITY, BUT EXPECT ONLY TO BE LIGHTLY ARMED.

THE FORCE HAS BEEN FLOWN BACK INTO FALLUJAH AND ARE LOCATED AT THE MAKESHIFT CAMP HOLIDAY WHERE THEY WILL STAGE FOR THIS OPERATION.

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE MISSION IS TO CONFIRM THE INTELLIGENCE THAT HARIQ FI ALSAMA IS ATTEMPTING TO PURCHASE HEAVY WEAPONS FROM A CORRUPT IRAQI MILITARY OFFICIAL.

A CONVOY OF MILITARY TRUCKS WILL BE ENTERING FALLUJAH FROM THE WEST DURING THE MORNING HOURS OF TODAY AND HEADING ACROSS THE CITY TO THE FOB LOCATED IN THE NORTH.

FOLLOW THE CONVOY AND DETERMINE IF THE INTELLIGENCE WE RECEIVED IS CORRECT. IF YOU SUSPECT A DEAL IS GOING DOWN, YOU SHOULD INTERVENE TO PREVENT IT.

AS USUAL, ANY INTELLIGENCE YOU CAN GATHER IS OF GREAT VALUE, AND CAPTURING ANY HVTS WILL HELP IN OUR EFFORTS TO INTERDICT HARIQ FI ALSAMA.

IF COLONEL QASIM AMIN IS CORRUPT THEN HE SHOULD BE CAPTURED ALIVE.

COMPLETING ALL PRIMARY OBJECTIVES SUCCESSFULLY.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS MISSION IS TO:
CONFIRM OR DENY REPORTS THAT IRAQI OFFICERS ARE SELLING WEAPONS TO THE ENEMY
PREVENT ANY DEAL FROM TAKING PLACE
CAPTURE ENEMIES FOR INTERROGATION
DESTROY WEAPONS, DRUGS AND EQUIPMENT

We will be dressing as Iraqi soldiers with AKs. We will then head to the west of the city and wait for the convoy to appear, at which time 1 will tail the convoy while two and actual move around in the surrounding streets trying to get eyes on the buying site itself, at the point that we find the buying site we will then survey, collecting what intel we can before engaging and securing the weapons cache along with any HVTs (WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THEY COME OUT ALIVE IF POSSIBLE). Once the area is secure we will secure any remaining intel and RTB.
