Mission Briefing:
You've been ordered to start the mission now. The interception op was a success. Enemy air units around Khesed have been weakened, and the Republic of Emmeria's military has taken full advantage of this prime opportunity to initiate a counterattack operation with all forces participating. Enemy forces have established a wide scale defensive line around Sipli Field, consisting largely of Tank battalions. Our ground forces are set up to cross the river and penetrate it, and eventually gain control of Khesed. Garuda Team, we need you to support our advancing ground units and eliminate all enemy forces. Multiple units will simultaneously carrying out multiple operations on the ground. Pay attention to the airspace around each operational area, and provide support as needed. This must be the first time you've ever participated in a mission of this scale. The battle simulator is a good way to get some practical experience under your belt. Godspeed.
