Operation Payday

QRF MINT will jump into southeast Restricted Area 01 to break a live weapons deal. The team first wipes the nearby mine-based QRF and interrogates its leader, then destroys the missile stockpile and heavy equipment at Burnet Ridge, and finally moves on Liberty Airport if command confirms the buyer's location.

Start

South Cape Station, 2052 brief, 2110 launch

Insertion

Overseer HAHO insertion, black kits, foot movement from the LZ

Priority

Destroy weapons stockpiles and identify or kill the buyer

Finish

Aircraft handoff at Whiskey India 7 or RTB South Cape Station

Situation

Eagle 1-3 has fixed a weapons deal at Burnet Ridge in southeast RA1. ISR confirms large quantities of arms and roughly ten surface-to-air missiles staged on-site while the seller waits for an unidentified buyer to arrive.

Before hitting the deal site, the team must cut down the nearby QRF at Russel Gold Mine and interrogate its leader for details on the transaction. Intercepted communications suggest the buyer may have flown in from Auckland International Airport, so command has airport surveillance active and can cue a fast third phase if confirmed.

Execution

Phase 1 Jump from Overseer, land at the HAHO LZ, and move on foot to Russel Gold Mine to wipe the QRF and interrogate its leader for deal intelligence.
Phase 2 Push to Burnet Ridge, secure the site, collect all available intelligence, and conduct a controlled demolition of the missile inventory, weapons, and supporting equipment.
Phase 3 If command confirms the buyer at Liberty Airport, move immediately to the airfield, neutralize GREENBACK and his detail, secure the airport, and deliver the aircraft package to Bandit 1-4 at Whiskey India 7.

Strike Focus

Burnet Ridge is the central denial target. The missile stack and all associated weapons equipment must be demolished in a controlled way after site intelligence has been collected.

Interrogation Note

The QRF leader at Russel Gold Mine can be roleplayed by a commander or any enemy on-site if a specific leader archetype does not spawn. The point is extracting usable deal intelligence before Bravo.

End State

Weapons deal disrupted, GREENBACK neutralized if present, airport secured, and both the plane and helicopter handed off to Bandit 1-4 at Whiskey India 7 or returned through South Cape Station.

Objectives

Alpha

Russel Gold Mine

Eliminate the QRF, isolate their leader, and interrogate him for actionable details on the Burnet Ridge weapons deal.

Bravo

Burnet Ridge

Secure the deal site, gather all intelligence, and destroy the weapons, equipment, and missile stockpile with controlled demolitions.

Charlie

Liberty Airport

If the buyer is confirmed, neutralize HVT GREENBACK and his detail, secure the airport, and deliver the plane and helicopter to Whiskey India 7.
