Operation order
Situation
Background Information
Continuation of part 1
After last months capture of Malden and its formidable Airbase, NATO now have a base of operation in which to launch a campaign on the more centralized islands. To this end a rapid strike on Stratis has been devised to secure the militarized island.
Stratis is a key military stronghold in the region making it strategically essential to take and hold the island before NATO may begin planning its attack on Altis.
Following dereliction and abandonment in the civil war of 2030 the island has been entirely militarised without a civilian presence. NATO forces should therefore be able to hit hard and fast, aiming to take the island within the day.

Enemy Forces
CSAT militarised island with airbase, we expect heavy resistance, particularly as we advance north towards the more heavily fortified regions of the island. The enemy are a conventional force and are likely to make use of a wide range of ground and air assets.
Objectives Romeo, X-ray and Zulu are expected to be particularly heavily defended. After the attack to the south side of the island CSAT is likely to have mustered its forces near the airbase and may send counterattacks towards us from the west.
