Egypt, which has been involved for a long time in social unrest and riots due to the pretension of some extreme Islamic parties to reach the power by the use of force is in a brink to a civil war; the military government try to hold the control of the situation by means of martial law. Libyan leaders decide to support theses parties by supplying weapons.

New Command scenario: Memphis Goes North

August 10, 2014 · Posted in Command · Comment 

Author: Mark Gellis

In 1981, SSN 691 Memphis completed an around-the-world cruise. This scenario assumes that during this time she was called upon to assist in the completion of a covert mission.

————————

*** OPERATIONAL: IMMEDIATE ***

ATTN: Commanding Officer, Memphis

SITUATION

One of our HUMINT assets based in the People’s Republic of China believes his cover has been compromised and has requested immediate extraction.

ENEMY FORCES

Unknown.  Expect some Chinese coastal patrols and naval units to be in your area.

FRIENDLY FORCES

Memphis is the only American vessel in the area available for this mission.

MISSION

1. Proceed to Point Alpha, marked on your tactical map, as quickly as you can without risking detection by Chinese forces. 

2. Rendevous with our agent, who will approach the Memphis in a small boat.

3. Proceed as quickly as possible, without risking detection, to Point Beta, marked on your tactical map.  Remain at Point Beta until you receive further instructions.

EXECUTION

Avoid detection.  If you are detected, withdraw immediately.  Do not allow the Memphis to fall into Chinese hands. 

Do not initiate hostilities with Chinese forces.  You may only fire in self-defense. 

COMMAND AND SIGNAL

Command: Memphis

Signal: EMCON Condition A (No Emissions)

Good luck.

New Command scenario: Shangri-la Comes Calling

August 10, 2014 · Posted in Command · Comment 

Author: Mark Gellis

This scenario assumes that, in the mid-1960s, tensions increased dramatically between Egypt and the United States.  With Egypt threatening maritime traffic in the eastern Mediterranean, the United States has decided to act.  The President has decided that an air strike against an Egyptian air base will be a suitable demonstration of American firepower and American resolve.

——————————————————-

*** OPERATIONAL: IMMEDIATE ***

ATTN: Commanding Officer, Shangri-la

SITUATION

The situation with Egypt continues to deteriorate.  Egypt is now threatening to attack American-flagged vessels attempting to enter Egyptian waters.  The President has decided that a show of force is necessary to remind Egypt of American firepower and American resolve.

ENEMY FORCES

The most signfiicant threat to your forces will doubtless be the Soviet-supplied aircraft that now makes up much of the Egyptian air force.  In addition, you are likely to encounter Soviet-supplied patrol boats and missile boats.

The Soviet Union almost certainly has some vessels and submarines in the area.  These will probably supply Egypt with intelligence.

FRIENDLY FORCES

Your battle group consists of CVA 38 Shangri-la, DD 701 John W. Weeks, DD 940 Manley, DDG 23 Richard E. Byrd, AO 97 Allagash, and SSN 604 Haddo. 

A detachment of EF-10B Skyknights is at Souda Air Base and is chopped to your command.

MISSION

Proceed to a suitable distance from Mersa Matruh Air Base and conduct air strikes against Egyptian forces located there until you receive further orders.  Your primary goal is to eliminate all aircraft based at Mersa Matruh and to render the base incapable of further use until repairs can be effected.  You are also free to attack targets of opportunity.

Do as much damage as you can.  A principal goal of this mission is to show the Egyptians that we will not tolerate threats to our merchant shipping and that we have the means and the will to inflict significant damage on their homeland whenever we wish to do so.

EXECUTION

It is possible that Soviet forces will approach your vessels.  However, do NOT initiate hostilities with Soviet forces.  You may return fire if you are attacked.

Special weapons release is NOT anticipated.

If necessary, aircraft may refuel at Souda Air Base. 

COMMAND AND SIGNAL

Command: Shangri-La

Signal: EMCON State C (Unrestricted Emissions)

Good luck and Godspeed.

New Command scenario: Team Dido

August 10, 2014 · Posted in Command · Comment 

Author: Mark Gellis

During the 1960s, a confrontation took place between Indonesia and Malaysia.  The United Kingdom offered aid to Malaysia during the conflict. 

This scenario assumes that Indonesia was more willing early in the conflict to strike directly at British forces.

——————————————————-

*** OPERATIONAL: IMMEDIATE ***

ATTN: Commanding Officer, Dido

SITUATION

The situation between Indonesia and Malaysia continues to deteriorate.  The British government is committed to protecting Malaysia and its people. 

The town of Serasan, on the Indonesian island of Pulau Serasan, is suspected of being used as a covert base for organizing guerilla warfare against Malaysia.  Intelligence sources report that a landing field for helicopters is being constructed on the island.

Weather is wet, muggy, and uncomfortable, and expected to remain so for the foreseeable future.  Temperatures will rise to about 90 degrees Fahrenheit.  Skies will be cloudy and moderate rain will continue all day and into the night.  Winds will be light, however, and Sea State 2 are the roughest conditions you are likely to experience.   

ENEMY FORCES

Unknown.  Indonesia has some light naval forces in the area.  The scope and quality of the defenses on Pulau Serasan are unknown, but almost certainly include anti-aircraft artillery, possibly 40mm or 57mm guns.  Use caution if you conduct flights over the island.

Potential air and submarine threats are believed to be minimal or nonexistent. 

FRIENDLY FORCES

Your surface group consists of the F 104 Dido and F 102 Zest. 

A Canberra reconnaissance aircraft has been flown to Sibu and is available to assist you.

MISSION

Scout out the area around Serasan.  If you discover the Indonesian landing field, or any facilities that may be supporting it, destroy it and any supporting facilities. 

EXECUTION

At your discretion.

COMMAND AND SIGNAL

Command: Dido

Signal: EMCON State C (Unrestricted Emissions)

Good luck.  God Save the Queen.

New Command scenario: Growler vs Growler

August 10, 2014 · Posted in Command · Comment 

Author: Coiler12

The world’s most modern and powerful SEAD/ECM plane and SAM system share the same name. Now they meet in an exercise.

——————————-

-REDFOR has positioned an advanced SAM battery on the island to the northeast, along with a legacy search radar. The SAM battery is the primary target, and the search radar a secondary one. Use your squadron of EA-18 Growlers to take out all enemy radars on the island.
