Situation
Background Information
DURING OPERATION MAGIC TWINS, OUR FORCES WERE ABLE TO RECOVER THE BODY OF KHALID MOHAMED KUMAR (KMK) AND VALUABLE INTELLIGENCE WAS FOUND ON HIS PERSON. ANALYSIS OF DATA FROM HIS MOBILE PHONE HAS ALLOWED MI-6 TO IDENTIFY AN IRAQI NATIONAL - JAMEL AL-HASSAMI - WHO WE BELIEVE HAS VALUABLE INTELLIGENCE PERTAINING TO THE POSSIBLE PRODUCTION OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS BY THE TERRORIST ORGANISATION WORKING CLOSELY WITH DRUG GANGS, HARIQ FI ALSAMA (FIRE IN THE SKY), IN THE CITY OF FALLUJAH.
WE HAVE IDENTIFIED THE LOCATION OF AL-HASSAMI’S HIDEOUT AND WE SHOULD BRING HIM IN FOR INTERROGATION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
DR. NADIA KUMAR WILL REMAIN WITH THE UNIT AND PROVIDE TECHNICAL ADVICE WITH REGARDS TO POTENTIAL CHEMICAL WEAPONS THREATS. SHE SHOULD BE PROTECTED AT ALL TIMES.

Execution
Commander's Intent
Secure the chemical weapons Hariq Fi Alsama plans to deploy, or gain further intel as to its nature and whereabouts. Under no circumstances are Dr. Nadia Kumar or Mr. Jamel Al-Hassami to die.
Regarding our relations with the Iraqi Armed Forces, we are to deescalate. Under no circumstances short of a threat of life are we to engage with the Iraqi Army.
Respond to the rapidly evolving situation with keen eyes and an open mind as need arises.
