Operation Saber

A hostile insurgent cell in Mount Hodgson is moving to convert regional infrastructure into future chemical-weapons production sites. The team inserts under darkness by Overseer, secures four key facilities, removes or captures designated leadership targets, protects civilians, and returns with the recovered enemy helicopter.

Launch

Night departure from HQ via Overseer

Insertion

Rapid low-fast drop at the LZ near Alpha with black kits

Primary Effect

Break the insurgent industrial foothold before chem production starts

Finish

RTB with the acquired enemy helicopter after site actions

Situation

Intelligence indicates an insurgent cell in Mount Hodgson is actively seizing industrial infrastructure with the long-term intent of pivoting those facilities toward illicit chemical-weapons production. The immediate task is to break that network before the sites can be consolidated and repurposed.

Civilian workers remain present across several facilities, which makes speed and control equally important. The mission combines direct action, HVT handling, intelligence exploitation, and site denial in a single push across the AO.

Execution

Phase 1 Approach the AO under darkness from HQ aboard Overseer, insert near Alpha, and lock down the perimeter fast before the cell can scatter or destroy evidence.
Phase 2 Clear the mines, chemical site, and control center while handling HVTs according to ROE: eliminate Rogue, apprehend Specter, and capture BAGMAN for air-movement intelligence.
Phase 3 Finish at Silent Valley Mine, protect civilians, exploit intel, move prisoners to the designated abandoned sites, and recover the enemy helicopter for return flight to HQ.

Handling Notes

HVT identities are roleplay-driven. The nearest marked abandoned sites are the drop-off locations for apprehended prisoners. Rogue is kill-on-sight. Specter and BAGMAN are capture priorities.

Civilian Priority

Bald Peak Mine and Silent Valley Mine both require civilian safety to stay central to the assault. The site seizure only counts if workers survive the contact and remain secured.

Mission End State

Infrastructure secured, insurgent chem plans disrupted, intelligence collected, priority detainees delivered, and the recovered helicopter flown back for allied use.

Objectives

Alpha

Bald Peak Mine

Secure the facility, keep civilian workers safe, and eliminate Rogue, the insurgent recruiter and trainer identified by the dagger tattoo on his neck.

Bravo

Chem-Extraction Complex

Investigate the complex, apprehend Specter, the suspected cell chemist with the scarred left cheek, and deliver him to Bravo 2 for interrogation.

Charlie

Mining Control Center

Secure the control center, capture BAGMAN for air-movement intelligence, move him to Bravo 3, and recover the helicopter for friendly reuse after mission completion.

Delta

Silent Valley Mine

Reclaim the site while prioritizing civilian safety. No fixed HVT is assigned here, but any target of opportunity is greenlit during the final clearance.
