SITUATION
The success of Operation Triple-A has crippled the insurgents’ efforts to control Novorossiysk. Since that fateful assault on the Gelendzhik airport, they were forced to withdraw into Georgia. Months passed before more insurgent activity was reported in the southern mountains in the Batumi area. On the night of December 1st, a C-130 Hercules was shot down and crash landed south of Kutaisi. The Airmobile is called once more for a daring search and rescue mission in pitch dark. US Marines, three ships from the US fleet and the CVN-70 Carl Vinson are docked next to Batumi to mount a rescue attempt. We will have at our disposal Hueys from the Canadian Forces, Luftwaffe and US Air Force, Ka-50s and Mi-8s from Russia. We will be flying during winter time in high altitude (we might reach more than 8,000 ft depending on where we go) so don't forget to use engine De-Icing and pitot heat.
Whatever who is down there… no one gets left behind.
OBJECTIVES
-Find and secure the C-130 crash site
-Insert Medical Teams to the crash site
-Evacuate the wounded back to Kutaisi

MISSION PLAN
Phase One:
We will takeoff from Batumi Airfield and load up on troops to secure the crash site. US Marines will be available for pickup in the three frigates docked at Batumi and on the deck of the USS CVN-70 Carl Vinson.
Phase Two:
We will fly to FARP HOPE to pick up two medical teams. Medical Teams will board the MEDEVAC slicks.
Phase Three:
We will fly to the crash site, secure it and insert the two medical teams next to the wreckage of the Hercules.
Phase Four:
Once the medical teams are inserted, there will be eight groups of wounded soldiers gathered next to the bridge south of the crash site. We will evacuate the wounded back to Kutaisi airfield.
ENEMY ACTIVITY
CIA assets reported a substantial increase in insurgent activity in the mountains. Expect small arms fire and potentially Shilka batteries concealed in the valleys and mountain tops. Satellite imagery confirmed that there are troop movements heading towards the crash site. Time is against us, so we have no choice but to attempt a night CSAR mission.
******************************************
OPERATIONAL NOTES AND CONCERNS:
-MISSION COORDINATION: The gunships and Ka-50 pilots will lead the operation and the slicks will fly behind them. We want to avoid AAA ambushes as much as possible so it will be the gunships’ task to guide the slicks to the safest route towards the objectives.
-FLIGHT LEADS: Without proper leadership, the mission is going nowhere. We will need flight leads for the slicks, gunships and Ka-50s. If a group doesn’t have a lead, they don’t fly. Period. This is a team effort and the mission is more difficult than the previous one.
-WHISPER LISTS: Flight leads should have a whisper list set up to all flights. We will use this as a main comms channel. Flight leads need to be aware that the use of a whisper list is MANDATORY in our case since if we keep everyone in the same channel, the teamspeak traffic will quickly become unmanageable.
-COMMS: Keep them brief and meaningful. We will be flying for about 1.5 to 2 hours in hostile territory, under constant threat of an enemy attack. Flight leads will need all the concentration they can get.
-GUNSHIPS: Gunships will be crucial to the success of this operation as they will be the only means we have to face Shilkas and pockets of enemy resistance. Gunship and Ka-50 pilots will be used to guide the slicks and warn them if any threats are spotted. Teamwork between the slicks and gunships will be essential since a mistake can turn a 40-minute flight into a smoldering pile of ashes.
-BLACK SHARK PILOTS: The Black Sharks’ role will be very important since they will act as the eyes of the CSAR air convoy. We will be operating at night, so the use of Black/White TV will help us identify threats before we run into them.
-FORMATION FLYING: Flying close and sticking together will be very important since we do not want to lose each other in the middle of Georgia. There are a LOT of threats in the area so we will have to get really small to minimize detection.
-NIGHT FLYING: Remember your NVG key bindings (“RShift+H” for NVGs if I recall correctly).
-SHIPS: landing on ships is already hard during the day, and it’s even harder during the night. I highly recommend you practice a little bit before. If landing on a frigate is too hard for you, you can still land on the Carl Vinson and load up troops from there.
-GENERAL RULES: We will be flying dark in order to minimize detection. So no lights, NVG goggles only. We can try to use IR lights but I am not sure they actually work.
