Operation Crescent
A night HALO package from FOB Bandit will strike the RAVEN abduction unit operating around southwest Restricted Area 01, hit the leadership meeting at Stony Creek Village, place a COMINT tap at Gate 05, clear the Devil's Forest Gold Mine cell through its tunnels, and then restore control of Omega R&D Center while safeguarding any civilians left on site.
Situation
Sentinel's RAVEN unit has been traced to a forced-labor abduction network pulling civilians out of Liberty Province and moving them into camps around Restricted Area 01. Reconnaissance indicates a critical meeting tonight split between Stony Creek Village and Devil's Forest Gold Mine, creating a rare opportunity to break the unit's local leadership structure in one pass.
A separate detachment has also seized the Omega R&D Center, where lethal drone research is under way. The mission's top priority is to neutralize RAVEN first, then retake the R&D site, verify research materials have not been compromised, and ensure any civilians there remain unharmed.
Execution
The team launches from FOB Bandit by Little Bird, HALOs into the AO under night cover, and stays above 1500 meters during insertion because Behemoth and RA01 air defenses are active. After landing, establish the ambush at Alpha first, then plant the COMINT device, tunnel into Devil's Forest Gold Mine, and finish by pulling power at Omega R&D before calling Guardian for civilian relocation and exfil support.
- Phase 1Ambush the RAVEN leader arriving by road at Stony Creek Village and clear the enemy presence there.
- Phase 2Install the COMINT device on the Gate 05 relay for traffic monitoring.
- Phase 3Use one of the three tunnel entrances for a quiet infil at Devil's Forest Gold Mine and eliminate the remaining RAVEN members.
- Phase 4Deactivate the Omega R&D generator immediately, retake the center, secure all civilians, and coordinate Guardian-assisted exfil.
Air Threat
Behemoth and other RA01 air-defense systems are active, so the Little Bird HALO profile should stay at 1500 meters or above to preserve the undetected insertion.
Tunnel Access
Devil's Forest Gold Mine has three tunnel entrances. A tunnel-first entry is the preferred way to surprise the target cell and keep the Charlie hit quiet.
Civilian Handling
Omega R&D Center must be retaken without harming civilians. Once the site is safe, radio Guardian to assist with relocation and close out the return to FOB Bandit.
Stony Creek Village
Establish a road ambush, eliminate the RAVEN leader as he arrives, and clear the enemy personnel holding the village meeting site.
Gate 05 Network Relay
Install a COMINT device on the relay to monitor traffic and generate follow-on intelligence on the network's communications pattern.
Devil's Forest Gold Mine
Infiltrate through the tunnel system, use the underground approach to preserve surprise, and eliminate the remaining RAVEN unit personnel.
Omega R&D Center
Deactivate the power generator immediately, restore control over the facility, secure any civilians still present, and confirm no research material has been compromised.
