MISSION 07: FRONTLINE
Operation: Vanguard

MISSION NAME: VANGUARD
DATE: 2010/10/04
TIME: 0830HRS
AREA: SAND ISLAND
LOCATION: 041°0'19"N 144°32'16"E

Briefing:
You people are like the plague, you know that? The moment you returned to Sand Island, this happens.

A large combined force of Yuktobanian vessels and aircrafts has been detected advancing in the ocean directly towards Sand Island from the west. Our intelligence has confirmed the presence of amphibious assault ships within the armed coming fleet. We believe the enemy's goal is to conduct a landing operation on Sand Island and capture this base.

Close with the enemy, disrupt landing operations and suppress their naval gunfire directed at our forces ashore.

Even if this turns into a ground war, I am prepared to fight for this island to the bitter end. As my advance guard, I want you to forget everything else, concentrate on dealing a lethal blow on the incoming enemy invasion fleet. We'll be deployed everything we've got. Launch every aircraft capable of anti-ship combat regardless of combat experience.
