Subject: Notice of Immediate Redeployment
Task Force Cobra has been tasked with tracking and removing the chemical agents discovered to have been transported to the Mediterranean.
Phantom 2 and the MSOC will be immediately transiting to Air Station Sigonella in Sicily. The MSOC will be responsible for making landfall on Malden Island and securing a compound to establish a COP. Preliminary intel indicates the island is controlled by a separate group of pirates and armed militants. The level of control they exert over the island is not currently known, but it is thought to be somewhat less than the Ikan. As Iglas were included in the shipping manifest and the status of enemy forces on the ground is not known, a COP must be established and a secure flight path into the COP must be cleared before 160th may deploy to the island.
Once the COP is established, and a flight path is cleared, the 160th will deploy with Phantom 2. Phantom 2 will begin immediately confirming the location of the ports used for transit and identifying the second vessel that is shipping chemical agents. The MSOC will then be responsible for direct action missions against these targets.
The ODAs and Phantom 1 will retain control of the COP in the Ikan Archipelago until they are relieved by other US forces or USSOCOM terminates operations in the Ikan.
Departure from the Ikan will be at 0200 local, 19MAR20, with a flight time of approximately 12 hours to Sicily where the local time upon arrival will be 0900 local, 19MAR20. Operations are clear to commence at first dark unless a daylight infil plan can be provided that does not jeopardize forces upon arrival.
Signed,
Lieutenant Colonel C. Williams
