INTELLIGENCE
A. NARRATIVE
a. Our target, codename Tattletale, is believed to be our
primary lead in locating connections with the Alotau
Ring’s operations on the island of St. George. With
limited intelligence to work with, securing him and
any intelligence he may have in his storehouse and
storage buildings is of vital importance to the
entirety of the operation.
b. Enemy forces will consist of PMCs hired by our target,
as well as local civilians he has paid to pick up a
weapon and guard his compound.
i. LOCAL MILITIA
1. Local militia forces will primarily be
carrying older Russian equipment. No vehicle
support is expected.
2. PMC forces are carrying much more modern
NATO tech, including M249s and M4s. They are
also believed to have several armored
humvees, and long range weaponry. Potential
Night-Vision equipment.
c. Any area outside the Area of Operations is considered
restricted at this time. As of now, the U.S’s
involvement in the matters on St. George is considered
Top Secret.
