MISSION 09: LIT FUSE
Operation: Foot Print

MISSION NAME: FOOT PRINT
DATE: 2010/11/01
TIME: 1100HRS
AREA: BASTOK PENINSULA
LOCATION: 0432'42"S 12329'45"E

Briefing:
Our army is finally ready to conduct a large scale counterattack against Yuktobania. If we succeed, we'll never have to face the humiliation of those Yukes trampling on our homeland and yet. The goal of this operation is simple. We invade and occupy the Yuktobanian mainland.

We are going to conduct a large scale amphibious assault against Yuktobania on the Bastoc Peninsula. This mission will be called "Operation Footprint".

The landing force will be selected from the 1st and 2nd Osean army battalions. They will be divided into four companies, A, B, C, and D and transported to the area by our landing craft. Upon landing, each division will fan out and destroy the enemy bases scattered throughout the area, then rendezvous and reform into a single large force unit to assault the final target, the fortress. The Yuktobanian defense positions along the coast are tightly dug in and we have concluded that the air attacks alone will not be enough to destroy them. Therefore, "Operation Footprint" will be a syncronized air and ground attack to neutralize these positions.

It is critical that you follow the specific targeting instructions of the ground commander to maximaize the effects of your attacks. We are expecting poor weather conditions and fierce resistance from the Yuktobanian defense forces. The fortress is protected by pillboxes and a defensive wall. Provide close air support for the ground forces and get as many soldiers as possible inside.

I wish you the best of luck in battle.
