Operation Highlander

Fireteam AVALANCHE will HAHO into Silent Mountain to stop an anthrax contamination plot against the eastern water supply, capture Bodark-linked HVT MONGOOSE alive, rescue BANDIT 2-6 before handoff and execution, and hold the final site as a new FOB for follow-on interrogation and control.

Mode

Conquest / Bodark story context with outcast-interference risk if progress is not reset

Insertion

Sundown helicopter infil from Carrick Ridge Bivouac followed by high-altitude HAHO jump

CBRN Note

Gas masks are mandatory at the Pumping Station due to extreme anthrax volatility

Finish

Establish a FOB at Outpost Black Tiger and begin Voronin interrogation with Charlie team support

Situation

A rogue Sentinel terror cell working with the Bodarks has seized Silent Mountain’s Pumping Station, the primary water source for the eastern farmlands and population. Their intent is to contaminate the system with Anthrax, creating a mass threat to wildlife, crops, and civilians.

Parallel exploitation opportunities exist across the AO. The cell leadership is holding a clandestine underground meeting at the Battery Farm, where HVT MONGOOSE (Alexei Voronin), the unit’s weapons specialist, can be captured. At the same time, BANDIT 2-6 is being held at Outpost Black Tiger, with SIGINT indicating an imminent handoff to the Bodarks for execution during a future broadcast.

Execution

Phase 1 HAHO to the IP in white kits, reach OP Delta, and determine whether any Outcast scouts survived the AAMON drone strike.
Phase 2 Secure the Pumping Station with gas masks on, contain the anthrax package, and call the decon team once the site is safe.
Phase 3 Capture Voronin alive at the underground Battery Farm, then assault Black Tiger, free BANDIT 2-6, and convert the position into the new FOB.

Primary Hazard

The pumping-station threat is biological, not just tactical. If containment fails, the fallout hits water, agriculture, and civilian population centers across the eastern region.

Capture Target

MONGOOSE / Alexei Voronin

Rescue Target

BANDIT 2-6

Alpha

OP Delta

Reach the observation point, search for any surviving Outcast scouts, and destroy the hostile land-drone threat in the area.

Bravo

Pumping Station

Approach in gas masks, neutralize the hostile force, and secure the anthrax package without allowing contamination to spread.

Call the decon team once the site is fully under control.

Charlie

Underground Battery Farm

Raid the underground meeting site, capture MONGOOSE alive, and keep him with the team for the final move.

Delta

Outpost Black Tiger

Assault the outpost, eliminate the Wolves detachment, and free BANDIT 2-6 before the Bodark transfer can happen.

Remain on site to establish the FOB and begin Voronin’s interrogation with Charlie team assistance.
