Operation Squatter

Creator: Ba’wis

Type: Hostage rescue

Time Of Operation: 1 to 1 ½ hour of preparation. Main assault will last as long as needed. Each group will get 1 hour of rehearsal time.

Location: TBD

Forces:

BLUFOR: 3 Five-man teams (15 men for main assault), 2 five-man teams to provide support.

OPFOR: 20-25 men

INDFOR (Independent Forces i.e. local militia): 20 men in total. They want to secure the hostages for the reward money offered by the NGOs’ employers.

NGO: 5 hostages. 2 advisors to INDFOR.

Details: A group of insurgents have taken a group of NGO workers, providing relief support, hostage. The insurgents have made their demands, asking for $5 Million. One team* is to deliver the money to OPFOR, representatives from INDFOR/NGO will be present. At this time, the Main Assault Force (MAS) is to move into the building** and find and secure the hostages. OPFOR is to prevent BLUFOR from securing the hostages***. INDFOR will also move into the building to try to find the hostages. OPFOR has to either be eliminated or hostages extracted for mission complete. BLUUFOR or INDFOR must take hostages to their spawn bases for mission complete.

Negation: Representatives from all forces will be present. Only two men from each team can be armed. No shots can be fired until after the deal, or OPFOR finds out that BLUFOR and/or INDFOR have made a move on the hostages. NGOs can ONLY advise INDFOR and cannot take up arms for or against BLUFOR and OPFOR.

Objective: Secure/hold the hostages until all forces are depleted.

Acceptable Casualty Rate: Hostages can be wounded; if one is killed BLUFOR fails. BLUFOR can only lose 3 men before mission failure. OPFOR 100% casualties rate or withdraw from the building. INDFOR is to fight until they want to withdraw.

NGOs 0% casualty rate, this includes hostages and advisors.

Kill: Head and torso shots are fatal. Limbs and grazes will be wounds. Depending on hits to the arms and legs, they can be ‘lost’ and can’t be used. No respawns.
