Operation Riptide

HELOCAST west of the Main Pumping Station as a combat diver team, secure the pumping station and Auroa Power Plant before a scorched-earth sabotage, raid Step Up Startup, protect civilians receiving care, recover research, and return to FOB Bandit.

Launch Site
FOB Bandit / South Cape Station or nearby friendly site
Insertion
Night HELOCAST west of Main Pumping Station
Team Type
Combat diver team
Recon Constraint
Mini drones blocked by short-range RCGPS jammers

Hostile forces seized the Main Pumping Station and Auroa Power Plant in southwest Channels and may sabotage the power grid as part of a scorched-earth withdrawal.

Step Up Startup is also compromised, sensitive research is exposed, and civilians receiving medical care are on site. All three sites must be secured before irreversible damage occurs.

Insert by HELOCAST, use ground reconnaissance and Cyclops ISR in place of jammed mini drones, disable any local jammers if found, then clear Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie in sequence and RTB.

  • AlphaSecure Main Pumping Station, neutralize enemy forces, and preserve the water-supply infrastructure.
  • BravoClear Auroa Power Plant and prevent grid sabotage.
  • CharlieRaid Step Up Startup, recover research, protect civilians, and return to base.

Expect short-range RCGPS tactical jammers to disable team mini drones. Fall back to visual recce unless the jammers can be found and shut down.

Source ISR estimates roughly 14 hostiles at Alpha, 18 at Bravo, and 12 at Charlie.

Step Up Startup has civilians receiving medical care on site. Clear cleanly enough to prevent friendly or civilian losses.

Objective Bravo

Auroa Power Plant

Eliminate hostiles and safeguard the power grid from sabotage.

Objective Charlie

Step Up Startup
