Operation Sirroco

SIGINT and HUMINT have fixed the location of SANDMAN, Sentinel's bomb-maker tied to recent attacks in Liberty. The team will move from FOB Bandit by RHIB, break a civilian roundup chain across three residential targets, exploit Fox 02 for fresh comms intelligence, and finish with a controlled capture at Liberty Transport Hub.

Launch

FOB Bandit, South Cape Station, at sundown

Insertion

RHIB movement to island IP south of Alpha

Mission Bias

Fast rescue sweeps, low-signature approach on HVT

End State

RTB with SANDMAN alive for EOD strip and interrogation

Situation

Building on the success of op-canopy, signal exploitation identified Ethan Reynolds, callsign SANDMAN, as Sentinel's explosives specialist. He is assessed as erratic, operationally valuable, and directly linked to bomb attacks on Auroan diplomats in Liberty.

Sentinel is also moving civilians tied to Skell Tech into northern work camps. Three residential sites require immediate intervention before the roundup completes, making the opening phase both a rescue action and a pressure sweep designed to break enemy tempo before the HVT hit.

Execution

Phase 1 Launch from FOB Bandit with RHIB insertion to the island IP south of Alpha. Black QRF or combat diver kits are acceptable as long as the approach stays controlled and quiet.
Phase 2 Sweep the residential targets and Fox 02 in sequence, prevent abductions, eliminate hostile elements, and pull supplemental comms intelligence on Liberty Transport Hub.
Phase 3 Isolate SANDMAN without gunfire near the HVT, disable the S-VEST through EOD handling, secure the hub, conduct SSE, and exfiltrate with the prisoner.

Priority Intel

HUMINT confirms SANDMAN wears a concealed S-VEST when outside the base. Firearms discharge near or on the HVT is prohibited. Capture must be deliberate, close, and controlled to avoid a detonation trigger.

Civilian Focus

Alpha, Charlie, and Delta are rescue-led sweeps. Kill speed matters less than stopping Sentinel from lifting civilians off-site. Clear armed resistance fast and stabilize the scene for follow-on recovery.

Mission End State

Fox 02 exploited, Liberty Transport Hub searched, HVT secured alive, explosive belt rendered safe, and all collected intel routed back to FOB Bandit for immediate follow-on analysis.

Objectives

Alpha

Jane Addams Residences

Secure the block, eliminate hostile elements, and prevent civilians from being abducted before Sentinel can move them north.

Bravo

Control Station Fox 02

Clear the station and connect to the enemy comms net to pull supplementary intelligence on the HVT and Liberty Transport Hub activity.

Charlie

Benjamin Franklin Residences

Conduct a second residential sweep, neutralize armed resistance, and assist any civilians still under immediate threat.

Delta

Richard Cobden Residences

Finish the residential clearance, secure civilians, and interrogate the local enemy leader on-site before leaving him for the recovery team.

Echo

Liberty Transport Hub

Locate SANDMAN first, isolate him without gunfire, perform EOD handling on the vest after capture, then secure the hub and run SSE for planned-attack intelligence before exfiltration.
