Situation
Background Information
With Trident platoon stopped short of their objectives and exhausted, Sealion has been tasked with finally finishing the island, as well as investigating the situation of the Loyalist forces we lost contact with. Due to the lack of time to recover and suspected AT emplacements, Sealion isn't able to fully commit an entire platoon or supporting assets.

Execution
Commander's Intent
The primary objective of our mission is to complete the capture of Ritmo's north-western islands, whilst securing any remaining Loyalists in the region before they are captured or killed.
Additionally, we are to clear all enemy coastal defenses to allow the advance and support of HMS Portland, whilst also clearing the area's main supply routes of potential mines and static defenses.
