AREA > Mt. Marcello > Khesed Island

Mission Briefing:
We are in the middle of an operation to liberate Khesed Island. The Estovakian force on the island is concentrated on Mt. Marcello in northern Khesed. The enemy is mainly distributed throughout this mountainous area, with Bartolomeo Fortress as the center of operation, providing a variety of high-level defensive measures and ofensive might. This fortress also boosts strong anti-air capabilities. Our group unit in this mission is to split into two groups, in the east and west, along with an air unit mainly providing ESM, which gives us 3 units in total. Garuda Team, we need you to cover each of three units in whichever order you feel is necessary. The situation will change depending on which turn a particular battle takes. You'll need to keep close tabs on the combat situation of each unit to successfully complete this mission. Our forces on the mainland are scattered and desperate - doing all they can to protect our nation.
